Ojukwu gets hero’s farewell in Abuja

OME 430 days after he was flown to London for treatment, Igbo leader Dim Emeka Odumegbwu-Ojukwu returned yesterday to Nigeria – in a casket. He got a hero’s welcome, with Army officers in ceremonial uniform marching in slow steps bearing the glittering casket. Atop the casket draped in greenwhite-green national colours were a pair of service shoes, a sword and a cap.

By Our Reporters

The ceremony was sober. Not so the tributes; they were effusive and generous. President Goodluck Jonathan led the way. The arrival of his remains at the Nnamdi Azikwe Airport, Abuja opened the final lap of his funeral programme, which will climax in his burial on Thursday in his home town, Nnewi, Anambra State. President Jonathan was represented by Vice-President Namadi

Sambo. Other personalities at the ceremony include: Senate President David Mark, Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Emeka Ihedioha, Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Pius Anyim, Anambra State Governor Peter Obi, Adamawa State Governor Murtala Nyako, former Governors of Enugu and Anambra States, Continued on page 5

I’m guilty of stealing, Ibori tells UK court

ORMER Delta State Governor James Ibori yesterday pleaded guilty in a British court to money laundering and conspiracy to defraud. He admitted nearly £50 million fraud, said to be part of total embezzlement which could exceed £250m (about $400m). The British police accuse him of stealing the money over eight years and the prosecutor called him a “thief in government house”. Ibori, once seen as one of Nigeria’s wealthiest and most influential politicians, was arrested in 2010 in Dubai and then extradited to London. As his trial at London’s Southwark Crown Court was about to begin, Ibori changed his plea to guilty and admitted stealing money from Delta State and laundering it in London through a number of offshore companies.

Prosecuting counsel Sasha Wass said Ibori, 53, “tricked” his way into becoming Delta State governor by giving a false date of birth and claiming he had no criminal record. “He was never the legitimate governor and there was effectively a thief in government house. As the pretender of that public office, he was able to plunder Delta State’s wealth and hand out patronage,” the prosecutor said. Ibori allegedly used a false date of birth when he ran for governor of Delta State to conceal previous convictions as a criminal record would have excluded him from taking part in the election. According to prosecutors, he is 49, but according to the date of birth he used in Nigeria, he would be 53. Ibori is due to be sentenced on April 16. Ibori’s wife, Theresa, his sister, Christine, his mistress,

Udoamaaka Okoronkwo, and his London solicitor, Bhadresh Gohil, have all been convicted of money-laundering. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had asked the UK’s Metropolitan Police to look into the ex-governor’s financial affairs. “The vast sums of money involved were used to fund Mr Ibori’s lavish lifestyle,” Detective Inspector Paul Whatmore, the officer in charge of the investigation, said. “We will now be actively seeking the confiscation of all of his stolen assets so they can be repatriated for the benefit of the people of Delta State.” He said the money Ibori stole should have been used to pay for sanitation, power supplies and healthcare for the people. In 2007, a UK court froze assets allegedly belonging to

Ibori, worth $35m. His annual salary as governor was less than $25,000. He had already left the UK when his assets were seized but he was arrested in Nigeria later that year. The charges were later dropped but he was then rearrested in Dubai on a British warrant. Ibori whose address in England was given as Primrose Hill in North London, was working as a cashier in a branch of a DIY store in Ruislip, Middlesex, when he moved to Nigeria and worked his way up through the political ranks to become governor in 1999. As governor, he was racking up credit card bills of $200,000 per month on a luxury lifestyle, including running a fleet of armoured Range Rovers. He was trying to buy a plane for £20 million at the time he was arrested.

Budget: North rejects vote “We are definitely asking questions on why none of the three zones in the North gets as much as 50 per cent of what is allocated to the Southsouth.” Another source added: “We are poised for budget battle with the President and Okonjo-Iweala, unless they rework the 2012 Appropriation Bill to reflect equity and justice. “We have made our position known to our leaders and the Speaker who has prevailed on us to allow him time to discuss issues with the President.” A copy of the 252-page document, which was obtained yesterday by our correspondent, reads in part: “The budget with a theme: “Fiscal consolidation, inclusive growth and job creation” is provided at N4.75 trillion. Of this amount, N1.3trillion is proposed as capital expenditure. The focus of this analysis is on the capital allocation component of the budget “The report is aimed at bringing to limelight some salient gaps that need to be closed in the final budget in order to mitigate the devastating effect that such observed imbalances might have on the socio-economic development of the affected region(s). “The entire capital allocation in the budget is painstakingly analysed herein to the six geo-political zones of the federation in order to depict what falls to each of the regions. In the process of doing so, it was realised that substantial parts of the allocation were either proposed to be executed centrally at the mother ministries or jointly combined for two or more zones. The two scenarios are treated for the purpose of this analysis as nationwide and partial nationwide respec-

tively. “From the foregoing analysis, it could be pictured that a large chunk of the allocation is handled centrally at the headquarters of the various ministries. “The provisions traceable to the zones as a percentage of the gross allocation indicate that Southsouth takes the highest with 8.83% while Southeast, comprising five states only, takes the lowest with 3.73% “Upon the exclusion of the centrally allocated amounts, the Southsouth takes 29.65% while the South-East takes 12.52%. Others are Northcentral (16.27%); Northeast (10.40%); Northwest (14.50%) and Southwest (16.67%). “If the President’s proposals were enacted in its present state based on our analysis, the fiscal consolidation, inclusive growth and job creation as clearly spelt out in the theme of the budget might not be equitably distributed across the regions of the Federation. “It is our prayer that the imbalance in the proposed capital allocation in the various zones should be objectively reviewed and harmonised in the interest of federal character, equity and fairness among the geo-political zones instead of a particular zone taking the largest percentage.”

in Ilorin. Besides, he pleaded that the President of the Court of Appeal be compelled to set up a new panel to start the case “de novo” (afresh). The application further sought an order directing the Speaker of the House of Assembly to act as governor, pending the determination of the case. Delivering court’s brief ruling on the case at about 3.25pm yesterday, Justice Abdullahi said the issues for determination were whether or not the court can set aside the judgment and order a fresh trial and whether it had jurisdiction to entertain the case. Describing the application as lacking in merit, Justice Abdullahi dismissed it, saying: “If there is any case of bias, Oni and PDP ought to have raised their objection against it at the trial Appeal Court in Ilorin.’’ He said the court could only reverse itself, if it was misled to deliver a ruling, if a judgment was given in the absence of jurisdiction, if the case was a nullity or obnoxious and if the court was misled to accept certain facts or evidence.

ACN warns against plan to discredit judiciary

HE Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) warned yesterday that the panel set up to review the Court of Appeal judgment on the Ekiti governorship election could discredit the judiciary and destabilise the polity. Its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed urged all lovers of the rule of law to rise against what the party called a “circus show”. In a statement issued in Lagos yesterday, Mohammed alleged that the Jide Awe, lauded the judgment. Williams said his client would head for the Supreme Court. When the judgment was delivered, members of the ACN, who were within the vicinity of the court, immediately burst into a huge celebration. The court’s premises became charged. State Security Service (SSS) personnel and policemen cordoned off the Basiri-Fajuyi road where the court is located. Teargas canisters were fired to disperse the crowd. Before the court session, some ACN members had converged on the Fajuyi Park Roundabout. Members of the PDP were at the Basiri end of the court’s premises. Policemen and SSS operatives led by the State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Olayinka Balogun and the SSS Director,

panel was raised because of the ruling of some courageous judges against the “almighty” Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The statement reads: “The questions then are: What do those who instigated the set up of the review panel on the Ekiti judgment want to achieve? Is there a precedent in this regard? Does it mean that once a litigant is dissatisfied with any judgment, even at the Supreme Court, he can get such a ruling to be reviewed

Mr Samuel Tamuno, stationed their men in-between the supporters of the parties to forestall a breakdown of law and order. More than 20 police trucks and an Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) were stationed at the court’s gate. Fayemi hailed the verdict, describing it as victory for common sense and the rule of law. The Governor, who was attending a meeting with officials of the World Bank in Abuja during the court’s sitting, said in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Yinka Oyebode, that he was happy that reason and common sense prevailed in the case, which “ordinarily ought not to have come before the Lord Justices in the first place”. Fayemi, who lauded the conduct of the justices, however said it was high time the judi-

once he has the ‘right’ connections? “At the time the judgment was given, was the Court of Appeal not the final court in the governorship election petition? And what will the new panel say that the NJC has not said?” Expressing concern that Oni may be the face of the unprecedented assault on the judiciary, the ACN described Oni as “a mere puppet in a bigger circus show, and the puppeteers are the PDP and the Federal Government it controls”.

ciary put in place a mechanism that “will prevent the likes of jobless busy-bodies like Oni and his cohorts in the Peoples Democratic Party from dragging the judiciary in the mud with frivolous petitions”. The Governor said his administration had since inception laid emphasis on reconciliation as a virile tool for peace, but noted that it was apparent that some elements within the state, owing to their self-centredness and desperation, are unwilling to two the path of reconciliation. The statement reads: “We welcome the decision of the justices of the Appeal Court. It is victory for commonsense and the rule of law. But that case ought not to have come before the Lord Justices in the first place, but we thank the Justices for not allowing the

judiciary to be dragged in the mud. “But it is important for the judiciary to also put in place mechanism that would guard against deliberate attempts by some people to drag its image in the mud. “Our administration places much emphasis on reconciliation as a virile tool for peaceful co-existence, but it is apparent some people are unwilling to embrace reconciliation. “This administration remains focused in its efforts to ensure a rapid development of Ekiti State and to liberate the people from poverty and nothing can distract us.” Oni said he would appeal the judgment. In a statement by his spokesman, Lere Olayinka, Oni said: “The basis for the dismissal of the case was that we should

have raised the issue before the Court of Appeal judgment of October 15, 2010. “However, in the grounds we raised in our application, we stated that the facts which necessitated the application were not known to us until after the October 15, 2010 judgment. How then could we have raised issues that were not known to us? “Therefore, since we have the right of appeal, as guaranteed by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, we have resolved to appeal the judgment of today at the Supreme Court, the highest court in the land. Any moment from now, our Notice of Appeal will be filed. “Members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), especially in Ekiti State, should therefore not despair because we are confident that God will use our case to set a landmark precedence in the history of the Nigeria Judiciary. “We also wish to commend the judiciary for at least giving us the opportunity to be heard, as against the wish of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and its functionaries, who never believed that rights of Nigerians to seek redress on any matter in Court, and duty of the Court to hear the matter must be respected.”

Ojukwu a great, uncommon patriot, says Ekweremadu •Okonkwo: Ikemba deserves respect

EPUTY Senate President Ike Ekweremadu yesterday described the late Dim Chukwuemeka OdumegwuOjukwu as a courageous patriot who stood firmly for justice, equity and national unity. Ekweremadu spoke at the funeral organised for Odumegwu-Ojukwu at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja yesterday. He said: “The story of Ikemba is the story of a man who spurned the silver spoon and jettisoned the comfort that life offered him from birth to follow a passion of service to fatherland and the defence of the defenceless.” Ekweremadu noted that Ojukwu’s belief in the Nigerian project was underlined by the fact that he not only joined the National Party of Nigeria (NPN) on return from exile in 1982, but also vied for the presidency of the country. He said Ojukwu had the vision of a true and prosperous federal state where every citizen would find joy and fulfilment, not one fraught with discrimination, ethno-religious tensions and carnage. He said: “Ikemba had a vision of a Nigeria where every citizen lives without fears in any part thereof; a country great in name and esteem; a country well governed and devoid of the vultures of tribalism, discrimination, ethnic segregation, religious nepotism, sectional cabalism and a nation where potentials and might are not rendered weak by the vultures of corruption and greed.” Ekweremadu regretted that Odumegwu-Ojukwu came ahead of his time, lived ahead of his time, and died ahead of his time since the laudable visions he longed for were yet to be realised. He insisted: “It is only when these visions are realised that the nation will appreciate him and his struggles better. “Our dear nation and her leaders owe it to the memory of Dim Chukwuemeka OdumegwuOjukwu to strengthen Nigeria as an indivisible political entity where justice, peace, love, and unity reigns. “Where national interest is supreme; where corruption is a thing of the past; and where every Nigerian is free and able to actualise his or her legitimate dreams and aspirations unmolested in any part of

the country, irrespective of religious, political, and tribal affiliations and origin. This is indeed the greatest honour and tribute he can get from us.” Turning to the remains of Ojukwu, Ekweremadu said: “Ikemba! Be rest assured that this house will not fall; the termites will no longer eat down our fences; the crows and vultures will no longer patch on our heritage; strangers will no longer walk over our portion, for the sun can only rise on our heritage.” A former Senator from Anambra State, Annie Okonkwo, urged every Igbo man to be part of the burial of the late Ikemba. In a release by his Media Adviser, Mr. Collins Steve Ugwu, Okonkwo said: "Now is the time for every Igbo man to add his presence or voice to our hero's departure. As Ojukwu goes home to eternal sleep, it must be through the lullaby of our loud songs of praise; as he is received in his journey triumphant above, he must adorn the special epaulet of a people-loved general, as we settle back to endure this grievous loss, may we show the world that we truly adore our leaders, whose pursuits match our desires, the way only Ikemba did. "Solidarities for the late Ikemba by Igbos and non-Igbo may be a nominal respect for the Igbo race, but the true respect we owe Dim Odimegwu Ojukwu is justice for the Igbo by the Nigerian state. "When the issue is about the Igbo and our country Nigeria, Ojukwu was passionately great in candour, exceptionally better in articulation, and when action is the language required, he was the unsurpassed best. Nigeria and Nigerians may miss him in truth or in pretence, but it will be tragic if we miss his nationalist ideals because the consequences are already tormenting us nonetheless. "Nigeria certainly will be far better in real terms if her leaders emulate the breathing courage in governance that is unique to Ikemba, or if that is too much sacrifice, from them, at least borrow his energetic drama in persuasion to wake us up from the persisting slumber of cynicism and skepticism towards government and governance."

Security agencies meet ahead of burial

HE Police, army and State Security Service (SSS) yesterday met in Awka, the Anambra State capital over the burial arrangements of the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu. The meeting also involved the top echelon of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) and Nigeria Security and the Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC). The meeting began about 10am. A top security chief, who did not want to be mentioned, told The Nation that the meeting was on how to make the burial of the late Ikemba of Nnewi a success. He said: "All the over 6,000 police officers in this state will be involved during the burial of Ojukwu and the same thing goes with the army and other security outfits. "We are battle ready for the

How eminent Nigerians received Ojukwu’s body The arrival of the body of the Biafran leader, Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, from London yesterday provided an opportunity for eminent Nigerians to pay tributes, writes DELE ANOFI

HE body of the late Biafran leader, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, arrived from London yesterday. It was received by a large crowd of dignitaries, such as Vice-President Namadi Sambo, Senate-President David Mark, Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu and Deputy Speaker Emeka Ihedioha. First Lady Patience Jonathan led the women folk. Governor Peter Obi and Ojuwku’s widow, Bianca, were also at the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja to receive his body. His second son, Emeka, was also at the airport. Though there were no outlandish fanfare nor loud singing and dancing by cultural troupes or music blaring from public address system, it was nonetheless a memorable event. Some Igbo youths who came with their cultural groups to pay their last respects to the late icon were, however, denied entry. Reason: they were not officially invited. They were turned back by men of the Air Force attached to the Presidential Fleet. Ojukwu’s body was taken by a military ambulance to the office of the Commandant of the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, where it stayed under the watchful eyes of some Air Force men. To display the kind of authority he wielded, people from all walks of life started arriving at the airport as early as 6.30am because of scanty information on the programme of the funeral ceremony. Guests were not allowed through the first gate of the presidential wing of the International airport by security operatives who informed them of some engagement at the place by President Goodluck Jonathan. President Jonathan, who was on his way to Bayelsa State, arrived at the airport at about 10am, after which visitors were allowed into the wing. Visitors, whose names were not on the ‘list’, however, had difficult times getting through. This led to a traffic jam around the area. The ceremony did not begin until after the departure of the President. At about 11am, the casket, draped in the national flag, service shoes, cap and sword atop of it, was brought to the arena of the presidential wing by military pallbearers.

No Biafran flag at burial, says Uwazuruike

HE leader of the Movement for Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, has stated that Biafran flag and other insignias will not be displayed during the burial of late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu. MASSOB members are also directed to wear only the specially designed mourning dress specifically procured by the national leadership of the Movement to be worn on the burial day. Rising from a national executive meeting of the movement held at the MASSOB Freedom House, Okwe, Imo State, Uwazuruike, said there would be no badges, caps and other uniforms bearing the Biafra logo on that particular burial date. He said the essence of restricting their wearing apparel to the special mourning dress bearing Ojukwu’s picture and the inscription: “Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu The event commenced with full military honour for the Ikemba who rose to the rank of a Lieutenant Colonel and the Governor of old Eastern Region. His body was borne by serving Lieutenant-Colonels in recognition of his rank in the army. When the beagle was sounded, the

Also commenting on this development yesterday, the Ogirishi Igbo, Chief Rommy Ezeonwuka said apart from giving Ojukwu the last respect he deserves, the MASSOB leadership is comfortable with the federal government’s decision to give Ojukwu a state burial, adding, that utmost cooperation would be given to the authorities. Ezeonwuka also disclosed that about 10,000 members of the Association of Igbo Youth Initiative Movement (AIYIM) would accompany the first son of Ojukwu, Sylvester Debe Ojukwu on a procession on Wednesday evening, February 29 for a symbolic search for the late Ojukwu.

Army officers behind the casket and the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), saluted the fallen hero. Traditional leaders, led by the Ezeigbo, FCT, His Royal Highness, Dr. Nwosu Ibe, raised their staff of office in respect of the Ikemba. Archbishop of Abuja Diocese of the

Catholic Church, Archbishop John Onaiyekan, conducted the Christian prayer service. He sprinkled holy water on the casket in line with biblical injunctions. The cleric prayed for the repose of the soul of the deceased while he enjoined those alive to impact positively on others as did

Ojukwu. The Deputy Chairman of the Central Burial Committee, Senator Uche Chukwumerije stood in for Justice Chukwudifu Oputa. He appreciated the contributions of the Federal Government and others towards the success of the event. Speakers took turns to speak about the iconic Igbo leader in glowing terms. Mark said he was very close to the late Ikemba and that they stood next to each other, when they went for their entitlements at the Military Pension Board. He said they never got the pension that day and that when it eventually came, it was very late. Former Minister and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Women Leader Josephine Anenih said Ojukwu meant so much to her. “I was 18 years when this problem started and on my birthday on July 8, 1967, the Nigerian government came to action and I was there. So, I was there from 1965 to 1970. I was very much involved in the war.I remember him as a young man brave and courageous, intelligent, always ahead of his generation and he understood the issues way ahead of his generation. Unless we learn from his legacies, we are still living 40 years behind. When this happens, it is for us to draw lessons from that and move forward. But it looks as if we are not prepared to do that, but I pray we will have young men, like we had in Ojukwu.” Minister of Labour Emeka Wogu said the late Ojukwu was not only courageous but contributed to nation building. He said his contributions were unquestionable. The minister said he was happy that Ojukwu was able to realise some of his dreams but that there were others that he would have loved to accomplish as well, such as the book he planned to write about his life. Vice-President Sambo, who represented President Jonathan, rounded off the speech making session and the dignitaries took turns to pay their last respects to the Ikemba. The widow, Bianca and the son, Emeka, did not join the procession. The military took over the ceremony once again with the beagle and the casket was led to the waiting NAF917 for the last leg of the journey, which brought the Abuja ceremony to an end at about 1.15pm.

Also at the event were Minister of Labour and Productivity Emeka Wogu, Minister of Health Onyebuchi Chuwku, FCT Minister Bala Mohammed, Chief Tom Ikimi, Senator Uche Chukwumerije, Senator Chris Ngige, former Minister of Education Oby Ezekwesili, former Minister of Women Affairs Josephine Anenih and Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Lt.-Gen. Azubike Ihejirika. Arch Bishop of Abuja Catholic Diocese John Onaiyekan prayed for the repose of Ojukwu’s soul after sprinkling holy water on the casket. Jonathan described the late Ojukwu as an advocate of a

united Nigeria whose sterling qualities no words can adequately express. He said the legacies left behind by the late Igbo leader remain indelible, citing “the legacy bequeathed to the Nigerian Army and the innovations he instituted that are now the hallmark of military processes and procedures”. “Let it not be said that Ojukwu died when the country needed his services most. Let it rather be said that Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu lived and served with all his might when the Igbo and Nigerians needed him most. He stood up and fought for what he believed. He stood for justice. He refused to compromise. He challenged man’s inhumanity to man. “Faced with the pogrom of his kith and kin, he stood his ground and fought until the last

plane left Biafra. His bravery, courage and sacrifices live after him. Whatever perceived mistakes he made, or people think he made, will for forever be interred with his bones.” First Lady Patience Jonathan noted that the late leader was not only a pride of his people but someone whose good qualities should be emulated by all Nigerians. On behalf of the entire women of Nigeria, she paid respects to the man, “who spent his life and times in the defence of truth, justice and fairness”. The First Lady urged Nigerians to emulate the good qualities of the accomplished Nigerian leader. “The best that can be given to the dead is to ensure that his legacies live on. Let us continue to pursue peace with all men and be our brothers’ keepers.

We must continue to be patient and tolerant, as no meaningful development can take place without peace and security of lives and property.” The Senate President, who said he was close to the late Igbo leader noted that Ojukwu was one of Nigeria’s greatest leaders. “He was a fine officer and gentleman, dedicated to his cause and principle. He was a great defender of his people; he stood for justice all his life and he stood for the common man. Pleading with leaders to emulate the qualities that endeared the late Ojukwu to his people, Mark added: “Though he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he ignored it by standing for the common man. He connected well with the common man”. Ihedioha, who described the demise of Ojukwu as an end of

an era, said Nigeria lost a political treasure in Ojukwu’s death while Africa has lost a statesman of uncommon abilities. He said the late Ojukwu’s place in Nigerian history is already assured because he will be “remembered for his fearlessness, courage, outspokenness and stoic belief in justice, equity and fairness. And I strongly believe that history will be fair and kind to Ikemba for standing up against injustice of his contemporary times.” Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Bala Mohammed said the late Ojukwu represented what the Federal capital stood for – unity. “The late Ikemba had a vision of a true and prosperous Federal States where every citizen finds joy and fulfillment.

He had a vision where every citizen lives without fear in any part they are, devoid of voice of tribalism and discrimination, religious nepotism with their potential threats and where the courage and forthrightness are not rendered weak by corruption and greed”. Former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National chairman Okwesilieze Nwodo said the turnout at the funeral was a pointer to the love the people had for the Ikemba. “His was a leadership that was not forced; he never begged for leadership because He was a leader they believed because he never disappointed his people, he was always there whether good or bad, he was a man with integrity”. Ezeife also commended Ojukwu’s leadership qualities.

NEWS ‘Oyo has no master plan’

YO State Governor Abiola Ajimobi has said the absence of a master plan has slowed down its development. Ajimobi spoke at the weekend during his investiture as the Patron of the Jericho Businessmen’s Club at the Premier Hotel, Ibadan. He said it is unfortunate that Oyo, which is regarded as the pacesetter state, has no development plan. Ajimobi also said the state lacks an industrial park to make it one of the industrial hubs of Nigeria. He said his administration would establish new towns to showcase the state’s potentials. The governor urged social and philanthropic organisations to partner his administration in the implementation of people-oriented programmes. The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Samuel Odulana Odugade I, was also invested as the Grand Patron of the club.

Rawa said: “As a grassroots politician, the community is at peace with my personality. I am presently, the President-General of Ilaje Oil Producing Communities in Ondo State and the National President of Niger Delta Coastal Association of Oil Producing Communities, the goose that lay the golden eggs, and facilitator of prosperity in Ondo State. “I share the vision of a lawful, egalitarian, orderly society in which all citizens could live in harmonhy in pursuit of individual and collective aspiration of fulfilled life. I strongly believe that the ACN is the answer to Ondo State and Nigeria’s problems. All that remains is general mobilisation to achieve our objectives”. Party sources hinted that Rawa and other ACN governorship aspirants are being encouraged by party leaders to consider the consensus candidacy option in a bid to reduce likely crises and acrimony that usually characterise party primaries. In fact, some candidates said that the monthly meetings held by them in Akure, the state capital, have exposed them to the need to maintain unity and allow collective interest to triumph over individual ambitions.

Police officers petition Jonathan over AIGs, DIGs promotion

ENIOR Police officers have kicked against last week’s promotion of some officers. They have taken the Police Service Commission (PSC)

From Gbenga Omokhunu, Abuja

to the Presidency and the National Assembly, alleging corruption and procedural irregularity in the recent promotion to the ranks of Assistant Inspectors General (AIG) and Deputy Inspectors-General (DIG) of police. In separate letters of protest dated February 24, the officers believed to be within the ranks of Superintendent and AIG described the promotions as strange, ridiculous and suspicious, contending that the elevation of five junior commissioners of police to the rank of DIG ahead of their superiors has created disaffection in the police.

The letters were addressed to President Goodluck Jonathan; Senate President David Mark and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Aminu Tambuwal. The disenchanted officers also took their case to the Committees on Public Petition and Police Affairs in the National Assembly. Seven police officers including two AIGs and five Commissioners of Police were elevated to DIG by the PSC. The beneficiaries included Suleiman Fakai and Atiku Kafur, both AIGs, Emmanuel Udeoji, Haruna John, Peter Gana, Marvel Akpoyibo, and Abdurahaman Akano, all of whom

were Commissioners of Police (CP). Similarly, the Commission also promoted 13 CPs to AIG. Those elevated are: Solomon E. Olusegun, Michael E. Zuokumor, Orubebe Gandhi Ebikeme, Philemon I. Leha, Jonathan Johnson, and Dan’azumi Job Doma. Commissioners of police, Joseph Ibi, Muktari Ibrahim, Suleiman Abba, Mamman Ibrahim Tsafe, Saliu Argungu Hashimu, Solomon E. Arase, and David O. Omojola, also became AIGs. The petitioners alleged in four separate petitions entitled: “Fraudulent and Dishonest Promotion in

the Nigeria Police”, that the promotions were marred with corruption, nepotism, favouritism, bias and high-handedness which, according to them, had further created disharmony in an already disenchanted police. The aggrieved officers said basic criteria which included seniority, experience, educational qualification, pedigree, merit and geo-political expediencies, were jettisoned in the selection process. Consequently, they urged President Jonathan to suspend the decoration of officers promoted, and direct a review of the exercise with a view to redressing the perceived injustice.

thematter would be resolved. He said the governor, who was out of the state, said the fees would be reduced when the funds for the implementation of this year’s budget are realised. Achife said the government has increased IMT’s subvention for this year. He advised the students

to conduct themselves withe decorum, so as not t o d i s r u p t t h e e x i sti n g peace in the state. Speaking on behalf if the students, Odeme Udum urged the government to reverse the fee hike. The students threatened to continue the protest if the government failed to comment on the increment by 7pm yesterday.

‘Three soldiers in camouflage led Jos bombers’

Boko Haram kills three policemen SUSPECTED Boko Haram militants Sunday night attacked the Shuwa Divisional Police Station in Madagali Local Government Area of Adamawa State, killing three police officers. They carted away all the arms and ammunition at the station after dislodging the police guard. The invaders used locallymade Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) in the attack which occurred at about 8pm local time. Madagali Local Government shares a border with Borno State where the activities of Boko Haram started some few years ago. Adamawa State Police Command has confirmed the attack. It said three Police corporals attached to the Division were killed while many others including an Inspector sustained injuries. Police spokesman Adenrele Shinaba, who spoke through the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO Altine Daniel (ASP), gave details of the attack. “But, I can authoritatively tell you that we lost three officers, all of them Corporals and three or four others are in hospitals,” the police image maker disclosed. However, eyewitness account said the casualty figure might be higher, adding that the gunmen carted away all the arms and ammunition in the station.

MBITTERED by Sunday’s bomb attack on his church which killed three members of the congregation, the President of the Church of Christ in Nigeria (COCIN), Rev. Soja Bewarang yesterday accused the Special Task Force (STF) of complicity. According to him, the bombing of the church headquarters in Jos, the Plateau State capital succeeded because the attackers were aided by two soldiers attached to the Special Task Force (STF) on Jos crisis. The cleric also described the claim that the suicide bombers were Christians as a diversionary plot by the sponsors of the dastardly act, saying COCIN branches in Bauchi, Gombe, Kaduna, Kano, Yobe and Maiduguri had earlier been attacked in a similar manner. Bewarang, who made the allegation yesterday during a news conference at the COCIN headquartres, insisted the soldiers who aided the attack were not fake but those serving in the STF. After observing a minute silence in honor of the church members who died in the attack, the cleric said: “The church can confirm the involvement of men of the Nigerian Army in the bombing of last Sunday. Two soldiers in desert camouflage uniform driving in army-colour vehicle led the bombers in through our road blocks and the third soldier was stationed at the main gate of the church to move the gate keeper into opening the gate for the bombers’ car. “The bombers penetrated into the church and let off the bomb five meter to the pulpit. The blast left a devastating impact on our new building still under construction. The existing church, our secretariat, the residence of the Reverend-in-charge, including 28 vehicles at the church premises, were all affected. The entire loss in terms of property is in the range of N5 billion. “In the 107 years of the church, we have never attacked the religion of other believers in anyway. We have enjoyed 107 years of peaceful practice but it seemed the challenges of the church in the 21st Century is that its life is being threatened by Islamic fundamentalists.” According to him, “COCIN in Yobe, Bauchi, Gombe, Kaduna, Kano and Maiduguri, among other places, have witnessed consistent attacks even though we offend no one. “In spite of the obvious provocation, the persecution will rather strengthen us rather than discourage us as a church. We will not give up on our God-given mandate and we wish to assure our enemies that they will only labour in vain.” The church urged the Federal Government not to allow Boko Haram to divide the country along religious line. He challenged the new STF commander to do everything within his power to restore confidence in the people of the state. Bewarange said: “This attack came in just three days of the resumption of the STF commander and it remains a big challenge to your office considering that the state had enjoyed about six months of peace before his arrival.”

STF: Man lynched by mob a church member

F the claim of the Special Task Force (STF) on Jos Crises is anything to go by, the suspected Boko Haram member lynched in Jos after the attack on the Church of Christ in Nigeria (COCIN), was a member of the church. The STF, code-named ‘Operation Safe Haven’, yesterday confirmed that one of the victims, was killed while trying to flee the scene of the blast. He (victim) was mobbed by angry members of the church, who took him for one of the bombers. In a statement signed by the STF media officer, Captain Mdahyelya Markus stated: “This is to inform the public that the alleged suspected suicide bomber who was killed by angry youths on the premises of the church last Sunday morning was identified as Adams Joseph Ashaba, a member of the church and not a suicide bomber as alleged. “He went to the church for the early mass with his family and after the explosion was mistaken as one of the bombers by the worshippers who killed him immediately. “The public and people of the state are advised to control their temper and allow security agencies to do their From Yusufu Idegu and MarieTheres Peter, Jos

job. The public is also warned not to take laws into its hands, go about their businesses and report any suspicious movement to the security agencies.” Members of the Muslim community in Jos have sympathised with their Christian counterparts over the Sunday attack. A statement released by the Council of Ulama in Jos yesterday and signed by the Chief Imam of Jos central Mosque Sheikh Dawud Balarabe said: “We received with shock the news of the suicide bomb attack on worshippers at COCIN headquartres causing the death of three and several others injured. “Attacks on worshippers is unacceptable in Islam and we hereby condemn the act. We offer our deep sympathy and condolences to all those who lost loved one. We also reiterate our commitment to peaceful co-existence of all peoples regardless of faith or ethnic affiliation.” The council commends the security agencies for their efforts in maintaining peace through pro-active measures in this trying period. “We call on them to remain vigilant in order to prevent reccurrence of this dastardly act anywhere within the state,” the statement said.

Represented by the Deputy Inspector-General (DIG) of Police John Haruna, the IGP said: “The attack is unfortunate, painful and condemnable in all sense of it.” The police chief pleaded with the church to remain calm, saying: “the force headquarters have deployed professional police of-

ficer on ground and have commenced investigation into the incident. Besides, there shall be a thorough review of the security situation in the state with a view to prevent a similar attack.” He assured of networking with the other security agencies in the state for peace to reign.

IN the interest of unity, stability and economic development, the former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar yesterday urged members of the Islamic sect, Boko Haram to seize the opportunity offered for dialogue by the Federal Government. In a statement issued by his Media Office, Atiku made the call against the backdrop of renewed attacks by the sect in Jos and Gombe, which led to scores of death over the weekend. According to him, no one will take the group or its agenda seriously when it continues to remain faceless. He said it is high time the group stepped out in person to articulate its grievances and thereby open a window for dialogue as he reiterated his earlier position that there can be no justification for the killings of Nigerians under any guise. Atiku, while decrying the killings and destruction of property, noted that the activities of Boko Haram amount to a declaration of war on the Nigerian state. He said: “If Boko Haram and its leadership have something to say; if they have any grouse against the Nigerian state, the proper thing for them is to come out in flesh and state it, so that a process of dialogue that will eventually lead to the resolution of the crisis can commence in earnest.” Atiku expressed his condolences to the affected families and governments and people of Plateau and Gombe over the weekend killings in Jos and Gombe.

Do not think of brick and mortar alone; but conceive ideas that will bring about transformation.’ The former governor urged the Federal Government to respect the constitution. He said: “Federalism is about two-tiers of government. The framers of our constitution were clear about the local government being the closest system to the grassroots and went forth to set out its duties and responsibilities.

“We need to dismantle the unitary system that we have in place now and come up with a new revenue allocation formula that is consistent with federal principles. “Let us practice true federalism and remove the hands of the Federal Government from our pockets. The Federal Government has been pickpocketing the states and local governments.” Declaring ACN as the fastest growing party in Nigeria, Governor Babatunde Fashola praised Tinubu for fighting doggedly for the creation of

more local government areas in Lagos to bring development closer to the people. Fashola described the establishment of more local governments as the democratisation of the opportunity to serve. Advising the chairmen, he said: “You must use this to democratise opportunities and good governance. We thank our National Leader, Asiwaju, and the House of Assembly for the law; and our lawyers for fighting for us to establish these local governments.”

Lamenting the deplorable condition of the settlement, Ojo said: “If adequate attention had been accorded the settlement, the situation would not have been this pathetic. Five years ago, the then government approved the electrification of the farm settlement in its budget. Till date, the transformer installed has not functioned. “The settlement’s only source of water supply is a well with a hand pump. We often search for water from streams and the river. “We do not have a maternity or health centre. We have one primary school. Though the teachers are dedicated, they come from town because there is no befitting accommodation

in the settlement. “We urge the Governor Abiola Ajimobi-led administration to come to our aid and save our dying souls.” The monarch of Ilora, Oba Stephen Oparinde, declined comments. Oyo Area Police Commander, Assistant Commissioner Bature Umar, warned the herdsmen to stop disturbing the peace in the settlement. Umar said: “Henceforth, illegal possession of arms by herdsmen would no longer be tolerated. We will not allow anyone or group to take laws into their hands and unleash terror on others’ The settlement was established by the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo. It has 105 housing units and 30 shanties. The houses are in deplorable conditions and unfit for human habitation. About 700 settlers were estimated to be residing in the settlement, which is about 28 kilometres from Ilora.

Amaechi to senators: pass Petroleum Industry Bill

IVERS State Governor Rotimi Amaechi has appealed to members of the National Assembly to pass into law the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) to promote economic growth in the country. He said this when members of the Senate Committee on Petroleum Downstream Sector, led by its Chairman, Magnus Abe, visited him at the Government House yesterday. The governor said the passage of the bill would pro-

mote industrialisation and create employment. “Seventy per cent of crimes are caused by poverty and the key cause of poverty is unemployment. “The Federal Government has to create a conducive economic atmosphere that encourages development and that development includes industrialisation which then will create employment, but the lack and absence of a petroleum industry law is hindering that development. “The oil servicing companies are not working and be-

cause they are not working they have laid off their workers and because they have laid off their staff the crime rate has increased”, he added. According to Amaechi, the Nigerian economy would perform better with the passage into law of the Petroleum Industry Bill. “There has not been much investment in the oil sector because there is no law on the country’s petroleum industry”.

Jonathan: explosion victims to be compensated

RESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan has assured the eight communities affected by the recent Chevron gas facility explosion that they would get relief materials and compensation. He gave the assurance when he visited Bayelsa State for an aerial inspection of the affected areas. Chevron gas facility in the Atlantic Ocean exploded on January 16, causing pollution in eight communities. The communities are Ezefu I, Ezefu II, Koloama I, Koloama II, Furoupa, Fish Town, Sangana, and Ekeni with a combined population of about 30,000 people. The President was accompanied by some government officials, including the ministers of Petroleum Resources, Niger Delta Affairs and Environment, Deziani Alison-Maduekwe, Godsday Orubebe and Hadiza Mailafia. After the inspection, the President told the people that something was being done to remedy the situation. He hailed the people for their patience. Jonathan said the Federal Government would partner the state and Chevron to provide the relief materials. He said: "In terms of other demands that have been documented, I noticed that many issues have been raised and these are issues we are quite conversant with. "I can assure you that we will look into it, the company, the state and the Federal Government will continue to address them." The President told the people, who presented a joint address, that "communities

Solomon Arase confirmed the incident. He said the luggage which the suspect tampered with was not the governor’s. Arase said the suspect would soon be charged to court. His words: “It is a passengers’ luggage. It doesn’t have anything to do with the governor. We will charge the suspect to court.”

Anenih threatening my life, says Edo Commissioner Odion From Osagie Otabor, Benin

•Anenih

DO State Commissioner for Information and Orientation Louis Odion has alleged that Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain Tony Anenih is threatening his life. In a statement yesterday, Odion said after Anenih threatened him in Benin at the wedding of Oba of Benin’s daughter, “some bizarre events” forced him to rethink the decision to ignore Anenih’s treat “I wish to bring to the attention of the public an open threat

by a chieftain of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Tony Anenih, to deal with me. “I attended the wedding reception of the Editor-in-Chief of National Daily, Sylvester Ebodaghe, at the palace grounds in Benin on February 18. “The event was attended by Delta State Governor Emmanuel Udughan, Governor Adams Oshiomhole, Akwa Ibom State Govenor Godswill Akpabio, Crown Prince of Benin Kingdom and Edaiken of Uselu, Prince Ehenede Erediauwa and Anenih. “On sighting me in the crowd on his way out of the venue, Governor Uduaghan stopped to greet me. He is an

old friend and big brother. “Just then, Anenih walked over and without provocation openly threatened to deal with me. “Snarling a finger at my face repeatedly, he thundered: ‘You Louis! You!! You’ll soon see what will happen to you. “To say I was embarrassed would be an understatement. “But, I still could not bring myself to start exchanging words with someone I would ordinarily call ‘Daddy’. “Indeed, his son, Tony Anenih Jnr and I have been friends for years. “The word got out. Thereafter, a few friends and wellwishers began to worry and counselled that I take the matter up with security agencies. “Their apprehension was fuelled partly by the dark repu-

tation of Anenih as ‘Mr. Fix It’ of a party with even darker moniker: the ‘nest of killers’. “But my initial response to those folks was enjoin them to pity Anenih, urging them to see his outburst as something to be expected of an actor at his wits’ end. “Indeed, discerning observers of Edo politics today will attest that the PDP chieftain has fallen on political hard times with the rising profile of Oshiomhole on account of the latter’s superlative performance in office. “So, for his growing political misfortune, it should be expected that Anenih would consider a defenceless official like me an easier target to direct his bitter aggression. “ I thought he should be ignored.

“But a chain of bizarre events of the past few days has forced me to rethink that position. “Last Thursday and Friday, I observed a black SUV trailing my car around Benin. I was in Lagos on Saturday to attend The Sun Man of the Year. “Apparently realising I was out of town, my stalkers resorted to calling my cellphone and, curiously, echoing Anenih’s earlier words. “In one particular call to my Glo line, one of such callers, who cowardly concealed his caller Identity, bellowed: ‘We will deal with you. Be warned! “In view of this ominous chain of events, I wish to put the public on notice that if any harm happens to me or my relations Anenih should be held responsible.” The party's State Publicity Secretary, Matthew

Urhoghide, said: "Who is Loius Odion? I think he is not known to Anenih and to make such an unguarded statement is one of the problems associated with bringing strangers into governance. “What could have been so important about him for Anenih to notice him and venerate him with an interaction that he is purporting.”

Naira firms on Shell dollar sales

US hold on World Bank under threat

HE naira firmed mar ginally against the United States’ dollar on the interbank yesterday, spurred by dollar sales by a unit of Royal Dutch Shell and declining demand for foreign exchange at the official window, traders said. The naira, according to Reuters news, closed at N157.60 to the dollar on the interbank market, stronger than the N157.65 it closed on Friday. Traders said the market reacted to the dollar inflows from Shell petroleum and signs of declining demand at the official window where the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) sold less dollars than it initially offered for the third consecutive time in a row. The CBN sold $138.70 million at N155.90 to the dollar, compared with $113.53 million sold at N155.90 to the dollar at the last auction on Wednesday. The regulator had initially offered $150 million at the bi-weekly forex auction. Traders said more importers now buy dollars at the interbank because of the improved liquidity in the market and short turnaround time for transactions. “We hope to see the naira appreciating further after the confirmation of the winning bids for the Shell petroleum dollar,” one dealer said. Dealers also said more oil multinationals are expected to sell dollars in the coming days as part of the monthly cyclical sales to obtain naira for their local obligations. “Some offshore investors are also expected to bring in some dollars to invest in the bond auction holding this week and this will further increase the level of dollar liquidity in the market and help the naira value,” another dealer said. The Debt Management Office (DMO) plans to auction N70 billion in 2019 and 2022 bonds tomorrow.

President, governors pay tax, S says FIRS

INCE last year the President, the VicePresident, Governors and Deputy Governors have been paying tax on all their incomes as done by every taxpayer in the country, the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) has said. The Personal Income Tax (Amendment) Act, which came into effect since June 14, last year, compels the president and his deputy as well as governors and their deputies to pay tax on their earnings. Chairman, Joint Tax Board (JTB), Mrs. Ifueko OmoiguiOkauru, disclosed this at a briefing organised by the JTB on the Personal Income Tax (Amendment ) Act in Abuja yesterday. With the new Act, Omoigui-Okauru, also the chairman, Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS)said the government has demonstrated it has listening ears and has reduced the overall burden on low and middle income earners, while recouping the reduction from high networth individuals, who could bear higher burden given

their level of earnings. She said: “Review of income exempted from tax under the Act, includes income from bond issued by government and corporate entities in tax exempt income and the removal of official emoluments of the president, vice-president, governors and deputy governors from income exempted tax under the Act. With these new provisions, the president, vice-president, governors and deputy governors of states will now pay tax on all their income as is done by every other taxpayer.” On how she would ensure that Mr President complies with the provision of the Act, Omoigui-Okauru noted that since the President gave the directive, he does not need anyone to force him to comply.

The JTB chairperson disclosed that to win other taxpayers’ confidence, the President last year processed his tax clearance certificate accordingly. She said: “We understand that the revenue authorities are working with the clear direction of Mr President in case of the federal and the governors in case of the states.” Omoigui-Okauru said part of the recommendations made by the Joint Tax Board for the reform is that the local government area councils will no longer have the power to collect taxes, noting that such power will be ceded to the state governments. The idea of the local government shedding tax collecting power is to enhance a centrally co-ordinated collection to eliminate multiple taxation. “In short, one of the rec-

ommendations I remember is that the local government should have no taxing power. Whatever revenue to be generated should be done on behalf of the local government by the state,”she said. She said the state governments have to come with a working code with which they can collect on behalf of the local governments, adding that following the amendment, the JTB is working out a tax calculator for taxpayers to compute their income tax once they feed their correct income into the website. This, she said, could aid taxpayers to challenge the tax collectors in case of any disparity. She recalled that the Personal Income Tax Act was reviewed and passed into law in 1993, which led to the removal of obsolete, unrealistic and outdated reliefs and allowances from the Act. With the amended Act, she said there is a simplified process of voluntary compliance and enhanced penalties and sanctions for violation of the Act.

He added that when this is done, private individuals would be allowed to run the railway system in the

country. The vice-president, who is also the chairman of NCP said: “The policy of government is to reduce the agencies and commissions because of cost. Government would make the private sector to participate in the railway business”. On state government’s participation in the distribution of electricity, the Council approved, among others, that state governments through an agreement with the relevant distribution companies be al-

lowed to increase access to electricity for their citizens. It, however, said the states would not to play any role in the management of the privatised successor companies. It stated that in accordance with the Independent Electricity Distribution Network regulation to be enacted by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), a state that desires to build independent distribution networks within areas of its state not served within each distribution franchise area could do so.

Council also approved that ‘Guided Liquidation’ be adopted as the strategy for the privatisation of NITEL/ Mtel in view of the huge liabilities of both companies and the fact that there was no viable financial alternative presented by the management of the companies. Concerning government’s investment in the Royal Swaziland Sugar Company, Sambo said the government should continue to invest if there are good returns on investment but more important would be to develop Nigeria’s indigenous sugar companies.

MERGING economies said they will challenge a tradition that has placed an American at the head of the World Bank for decades.

Emerging economies said it was time to break a decadeold tradition that has long shut out candidates from the developing world and kept an American at the head of the World Bank and a European leader at the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The problem emerging economies face is finding a candidate willing to challenge the United States, which is the largest and most influential shareholder in the World Bank and IMF. “I am sure the United States will nominate an excellent candidate but it is imperative that the process this time be contestable,” said Amar Bhattacharya, director of the G24 Secretariat, whose members include major developing and emerging economies. He said there are very strong candidates in the developing world but it is important they identify suitable candidates from the region that could lead the global financial bodies.

POLITICS THE NATION

E-mail:- politics@thenationonlineng.net

It is another season of campaign for creation of new states. The agitation has been taken to the National Assembly as part of the plan for amendment of the Constitution. Assistant Editor ONYEDI OJIABOR examines the requests, their merits and weaknesses.

HE demand for creation of new states is growing in leaps and bounds. Political and ethnic champions are at their best to outdo one another. No section of the country wants to be left out in the rat race for separate states. Recent disclosure by Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekwermadu, at a forum in Lagos that the National Assembly has received 45 requests for creation of new states may be troubling to discerning minds. Although the politics of state creation is not new to Nigerians, tongues are already wagging. Observers are wondering why some leaders are agitating for new states when some states are literally bankrupt. As if the figure of 45 new states is not worrisome enough, more requests from some cultural groups were received this month. Nauseating as the number of requests for new states may be, it should be clear that the requests were made under a convivial atmosphere. While some state creation movements brought dancing troupes to the National Assembly to present their demands, others came with political bigwigs, first class traditional rulers and other opinion leaders, possibly to underscore the seriousness of their requests. Perhaps, only a magician could have imagined that a journey that started in 1914 with the amalgamation of Southern and Northern protectorates would metamorphose into 36 states that the union operates today. The pattern of requests for new states as classified by Ekeremadu is also instructive. The Southsouth geopolitical zone topped the list of agitators with 13 requests, followed by South West zone 10 requests, South East zone eight requests, North West zone six, North Central five and North East three requests. The names of the proposed states some of them funny may suffice: Southsouth: Ahoada (Rivers); Toru-Ebe (Delta, Edo, Ondo); Ogoja (Cross River); Urhobo (Delta); Minji-Se (Rivers); Ado (Delta); Confluence (Edo, Kogi, Nasarawa); Bori (Rivers); Anioma (Delta); Oil Rivers (Akwa Ibom, Rivers) Warri (Delta) New Delta (Delta) and Ethiope (Delta). South West has New Oyo (Oyo); Remo-Ijebu (Ogun), Ijesha (Osun); Oduduwa (Osun); Ijebu (Ogun); Ibadan (Oyo) Yewa (Ogun); Ose (Ondo); Lagoon (Lagos ) and Oluwa (Ondo). South East has Aba (Abia); Adada (Enugu), Orashi (Imo, Anambra); Ugwuaku (Imo, Abia, Anambra); Etiti (Imo, Abia, Anambra); Equity (Abia, Anambra, Enugu, Imo, Ebonyi); Njaba (Imo) and Orimili (Anambra, Imo, Delta). For North West you have Karaduwa (Katsina); Gurara ( Kaduna ), New Kaduna ( Kaduna ), Tiga ( Kano ); Ghari and Biyajida (Katsina). North Central has Kainji ( Niger ), Edu ( Niger, Kware); Okura (Kogi) Borgu and Okun (Ekiti, Ondo, Kwara, Kogi). While North East has Katagun (Bauchi), Amana (Adamawa0 and New Borno (Borno). Some say the unending clamour for new states is fuelled by the desire for equity, fairness and in some cases fear of marginalisation.

North East: Katagun (Bauchi), Amana (Adamawa and New Borno (Borno). into the same position in the current Senate, seized the opportunity offered by the Lagos forum to give those clamouring for new states some food for thought. He spoke on the subject: “Constitution Amendment and State Creation” at a public lecture organised by the Otu Oka’Iwu Lagos , a group of lawyers of South East extraction in Lagos . For him, exchange of views makes it easier to navigate through the hurdles and matrix of legitimate interests and demands encompassed in constitution amendment exercise. Apart from state creation, Ekweremadu said the National Assembly is bracing up to address other critical but contentious issues such as devolution of powers, local government administration, structural imbalances and state police. He made a historical tour of state creation in Nigeria, went through factors fuelling the quest for more states, the position of the 1999 Constitution on State creation, the implications of the current structural configuration of states and local governments especially for Ndigbo and the options open to Ndigbo in the quest for more States. But he was quick to emphasize that the views expressed in his presentation are his personal views, not those of the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Constitution Review, the Deputy President of the Senate or the Senate for that matter. Talking about how the journey of state creation began Ekweremadu noted that heterogeneous societies conquered by the rampaging British and formed into the Southern Protectorate, Northern Protectorate, and the Colony of Lagos (later collapsed into the Southern Protectorate in 1906) were amalgamated by colonial fiat in 1914. He continued: “The Richards Constitution of 1946 introduced regionalism. Even though the Southern Protectorate was further split into Western Province and Eastern Province in 1939, while the McPherson Constitution of 1951 configured Nigeria into a semi-federal state, it was the Lyttleton Constitution of 1954 that effectively structured Nigeria into a true regional

federalism. “From then on, Nigeria has been on a roller coaster of steady splinter into the 36 federal units we operate today. As such, unlike the conventional federalisms that hitherto separate entities come together to form a union, Nigeria became a union through the 1914 amalgamation and began the process of further fragmentation into smaller federating units. Thus, from 1914 to date, the Nigerian map has changed seven times.” Ekweremadu probably forgot to add that the country is still counting. He noted that the timeline of state creation in the country started with 1946-three regions (British rule), 1963-four regions (Balewa government), 1967-12 states (Gowon Administration), 1976-19 states (Murtala Administration), 1987-21 states (Babangida Administration), 1991-30 states (Babangida Administration and 1996-36 states (Abacha administration). For the Deputy President of the Senate “assuming all the requests were to be granted, it means that Nigeria would become a federation of 81 States.” Ekweremadu recognised the fact that whether under military or civilian regimes, State creation remained one of the recurrent, volatile, and even emotional issues in the Nigerian federalism right from the colonial era. According to him from the colonial period to the present day, the factors responsible for the agitation for more states are myriad and have not really changed. He believed like most scholars do that it all boils down to the sharing of the ‘national cake’ and opportunities. He also listed minority fears, search for equity, particularly for the South East geo-political zone, quest for political empires and influence and search for development as other factors fuelling the sustained quest for state creation in the country. But he drew attention of new state creation movements to Section 8 (1) of the 1999 Constitution which provides for the creation of more States and lamented that “unfortunately, those who should know prefer to play politics with

it” while “some even use it as campaign promise to hoodwink the unsuspecting and ignorant electorate.” Zeroing in on the South East Ekweremadu reiterated that among all the factors, the agitation for the creation of more States in the South East are mainly founded on the quest for equity both in numerical terms as to States distribution across the federation, but also more critically, in view of the perceived cost of the inequity in terms of the allocation of resource and opportunities distribution. He went on to give the number of states zone by zone with North West 7, North East 6, North Central 6, South West 6, South South 6 and South East 5; the distribution of local governments with North West 187, North East 111, North Central 118, South West 137, South South 120 and South East 95, excluding 6 Area Councils of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. From the foregoing, he said, “it means that LGA in the South East is about half the LGA in the North West .” He said: “By the foregoing, there is no doubt that the South East has good case in favour of more States for the region. But even at that, it amounts to self delusion for anyone to think that more States would fall like the manner. “On the contrary, more States in the South East will be products of consistent and strategic steps.” The way forward for the zone, he said, included presenting a common front, appeal to sense of justice and equalisation approach. He also has some reassuring words for agitators as he emphasized that State creation, though tedious and strewed in high politics and palpable complexities, is very feasible in the current democratic dispensation. The National Assembly, he noted, is also “positively disposed to it and has on several occasions reaffirmed its readiness to delve into critical and reoccurring questions surrounding our federalism.” However, the Enugu State born lawmaker posed some nagging questions which he felt •Continued on page 14

POLITICS Correspondent FANEN IHYONGO writes on the anxiety that has enveloped the political class in Benue State as the election tribunal is set to deliver judgment in the governorship litigation in the state.

Today is judgment day in Benue

EN months after, the governorship election in Benue State remains inconclusive. Today, the Election Petitions Tribunal in Makurdi, the state capital, will deliver judgment. Will the court affirm the victory of Governor Gabriel Suswam or will power shift to Professor Steve Ugbah of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN)? The tribunal chaired by Justice Halima Mohammed has been a theatre of legal war between the governor’s lawyers and ACN’s counsel. Governor Suswam is walking a tight rope. The opposition party has accused him of using state resources to prosecute his case. According to INEC’s Returning Officer, Professor Daniel Vershima Uza, Suswam, who contested on the platform of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), won majority of the ballots in 15 out of the 23 local government areas of the state, polling 590,776 votes to defeat ACN’s Ugbah, who polled 499,319 votes. Senator Daniel Iyorkegh Saror of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), who came third in the race, obtained 9,234 votes. In the election, 13 political parties fielded candidates. The ACN candidate rejected the poll results. He said that he won the election. Ugbah accused the PDP of using local militia to rig the election in 11 of the 23 local government areas, particularly those that make up the Sankera political division. As the governorship legal tussle rages, the allegation of GCE/WAEC Certificate forgery came up and Ugbah sought to use it against the governor. Saror of the All Nigerian Peoples Party (ANPP) also alleged that “Suswam was at the time of election, not qualified to contest the election, having presented a forged certificate to INEC, contrary to Section 182 (i) (j) of the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria”. Citing “non-compliance with the provisions of the electoral Act 2010”, Saror submitted that the election was invalid. He prayed the court to cancel the election and arrange a fresh poll, not on the basis of irregularities, but according to him, “Suswam won the election without meeting the required academic qualification for contesting the election”. Ugbah said:”I won the election, alleging that INEC colluded with the PDP to deny him victory. His second pleading is that Suswam filed his defence late, and therefore, his reply should not be tolerated by the tribu-

nal. Ugbah’s third pleading, which is hinged on certificate forgery, was also restored penultimate week by the Mohammed-led tribunal. Ugbah’s case suffered twists and turns. It was dismissed by the Justice Ladan-led tribunal which claimed that it lacked the jurisdiction to adjudicate the matter. The ruling was upheld sequel to a decision of the Appeal Court before the Chief Justice of Federation Dahiru Musdapher ordered that a new tribunal should treat the case on its merits, not on technicalities. However, in all the separate submissions of forgery, the onus has been on Saror and Ugbah to prove their allegations, since the respondent (Suswam) denied presentation of any forged document to INEC. Saror, a 70-year-old Professor of Veterinary Medicine and former Vice Chancello of the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, presented himself as oral witness. After taking the oath, he presented National Life and the Power Steering magazine, which he obtained from the National Library, as exhibits. The tribunal did not ask Suswam to show his original GCE/WAEC certificate. The governor’s lawyers, who relied on ‘technicalities’, argued that “the newspapers, on which Saror built his case, were hearsay evidence, and therefore, inadmissible. Ugbah presented three GCE/ WAEC certificates allegedly forged by the governor, as exhibits, including a police report. The tribunal described the exhibits as “tempting”. Lead counsel to Ugbah, Chief Oluwarotimi Akeredoru (SAN), who described Suswam as a “serial forger”, is demanding judgment in favour of his client, Ugbah, a 55-year old Professor of Marketing and Entrepreneurship, who had lectured in the California State University, Hayward, United States for many years before coming home to run for the governorship. “Why should someone with a forged GCE result be allowed to be governor, parading himself as a man of honour? This act must be condemned in totality by the tribunal”, Akeredoru told the three-man panel. Both counsel continued the offensive, in a sporadic duel of words. But at that juncture, the tribunal rose to

intervene, appealing that, rather than take issues personal, the lawyers should only ponder on the facts on the table, for substantial judgment. “The whole world is watching us”, said a member of the tribunal, Justice Muftau Adebola. Suswam’s counsel, Damian Dodo (SAN) told the tribunal to dismiss Ugbah’s contention of certificate forgery. “The application does not satisfy the conditions contained in the Electoral Act”, he argued. The tribunal ruled in Ugbah’s favour. Justice Mohammed held that “the issue of qualification is a competent ground in election petitions”. Counsel to INEC, JS Okutepa (SAN) and counsel to the PDP, Chief Solo Akuma (SAN) have admitted that Suswam did not submit his certificates with the form CF001 to the electoral body in respect of the election. “This makes Suswam disqualified”, Ugbah argued. He added: “If the governor did not submit his relevant educational credential, how did INEC screen and certify him to contest the election? It means INEC negated completely its procedural function of screening. In other words, Suswam was not qualified to have run for the exalted seat in the first instance, he stands disqualified to contest the April 26, 2011 governorship election, having failed, refused or neglected to present his certificates, as evidence that he is educated up to [secondary] school certificate level or its equivalent, in line with the provisions of Section 177 (d) of Nigeria’s 1999 Constitution, as amended, Ugbah’s team of lawyers have submitted. Ugbah has subpoenaed the University of Lagos, the Law School, INEC and WAEC to bring all the certificates which Suswam used in their institutions. WAEC has already told the tribunal that it does not issue any fraudulent documents to its candidates, invariably including Suswam. One Chidozie Ukpabi has confessed in the public and on the pages of national tabloids that he forged certificates for the Benue governor. Suswam described Ukpabi as a criminal, saying that his original certificates were stolen by robbers in a vehicle when he sent his personal assistant to go and complete his registration for a Masters programme in Pub-

lic Administration (MPA) at the University of Abuja. So, he wrote to the Law School, WAEC and the University of Lagos for certified copies. UNILAG and Law School, he said, had sent him the copies but WAEC sent a wrong result after a month (in 2005), which he sent back, but forgot about it “because I did not have any need for it”. But another counsel to Ugbah, Mr Orkuma said the certificate number SG 842969 that Suswam quoted in the letter to WAEC and the Inspector General of Police, as missing, is “forgery and perjury” and does not exist. He further revealed that they (Ugbah’s counsel) are in possession of the University of Lagos’ 1989 transcript that indicates the governor had four carry-over courses that spilled over, and wondered when Suswam re-wrote and passed them to proceed to the Law School in 1990. To add buzz to the thrills that heralded Suswam’s legal woes, Mr. Terver Kakih, the only aspirant who contested the governorship primaries with Suswam in the PDP, had earlier alleged that the governor was not qualified to contest for the party’s ticket. He said that “Suswam lacked the prerequisite qualification for contesting the election”. Before a High Court in Makurdi, where the case is being heard now, Kakih is praying the court to disqualify Suswam and declare him the PDP candidate cum governor of Benue state. Suswam, 47-year-old former mem-

ber of House of Representatives had, in an interview with Pointblanknews.com, debunked allegations linking him with certificate forgery. “I am not bothered because it’s false, it’s just a ploy by the opposition to reduce me in the eyes of the people”, he said. The governor said he finished from Government College Makurdi in 1982 and gained admission into the Law Faculty of the University of Lagos in 1986, obtained an LL.B degree in 1989, and the BL Certificate from the Nigerian Law School, Lagos in 1990. He has however, refused to present his 1982 GCE certificate to the tribunal. Suswam’s lawyers rely exclusively on technicalities, with an appeal seeking to quash Ugbah’s petition on grounds that the Electoral Act 2010 stipulates 180 days for the tribunal to hear and determine election petitions, therefore, the official duration of 180 days given to the tribunal expired on November 14, 2011. But ACN already filed a cross-appeal demanding judgment, since Suswam failed to submit any defense in respect to Ugbah’s Ground Three (certificate forgery) that harps on qualification or disqualification of a candidate. The tribunal had earlier dismissed Suswam’s motion on 180days, when Ugbah’s counsel argued that the 180day-issue was not applicable in their client’s case, since the Supreme Court ordered that the petition be heard de novo. Meanwhile, as the people of Benue await judgment with keen interest, the battle of words between the ACN and PDP supporters on who carries the day has intensified. No discussion in Benue is complete without a mention of the alleged forgery scam. The matter has even polarised the people’s social cohesion.

have not been answered satisfactorily regarding the creation of more states and the shape of Nigeria federalism. He asked: Has the creation of more States allayed the fears of minorities and the feelings of marginalisation and domination? Has it resulted to good governance and speedier development at State levels than we had before? If it is meant to bring governance closer to the people, what then is the essence of Local Government Areas. If 768 LGAs and 6 Area Councils in addition to 36 States and the FCT have not really brought government closer to the people in practical terms, what is the guarantee that more States will succeed in doing the same? Importantly too, is the proliferation of States and even the extant ones viable and self-sustainable? Again, at a time the global trend is aggressively moving towards the contraction of the size of government and cost of governance; at a time the nation

is already sweating profusely under the yoke of unwieldy size of government at the federal, state, and local levels, can we really sustain the status-quo let alone create new burdens? “Maybe worse also, we have on our hands federalism like no other in the world where the federating units are continually fragmented, rendered more powerless and dependent on the centre. “Therefore, it does appear that rather than create more States, we should spare a thought on a possible return to regionalism in which case the six geopolitical zones become the federating units. “Instructively, if that should be the case, we would not only hope to reverse the dwindling fortunes of our federalism in terms of viability, selfsustenance, healthy competition,, cost of governance, etc, but create also an acceptable level of equity. “However, in a situation whereby we are inclined to operating our federalism based on States, then the

Agbonlahor relishes Eagles play Peru, Namibia in May/June captain’s band N G

•Agbonlahor

ABBY Agbonl a h o r has spoken of his immense p r i d e i n skippering Villa - but is ready to step aside if Stiliyan Petrov is fit at B l a c k b u r n . Agbonlahor was made captain for the first time in his senior career in claret and blue at Wigan. And he was thrilled to be handed the honour although he says everyone is relishing the return of Petrov, hopefully for the clash at Ewood Park on Saturday. Agbonlahor says the team spirit is good and everyone is focused on performing at their optimum as Villa look to charge up the Barclays Premier League table. He said: "I was very proud to be captain. It's great to be skipper anywhere, in any situation, but it's especially true for me with a club like this. "It's an unbelievable honour and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a different experience but one I really enjoyed. But we have a fantastic skipper coming back next week in Stiliyan. We're all now looking to Blackburn.

We've got to keep our heads up and work our socks off in training this week and look to the Blackburn game. "We're looking forward to that. We will go there, battle away and try to get all three points. There's a good spirit, we are all together and we're fully focused on the Blackburn game next weekend. We're determined to do well there. Agbonlahor admits Villa were looking for a maximum haul at Wigan but stressed the importance of a "good point" in the end, especially given the difficult of playing fluid football on a tough pitch. He added: "We found it difficult with the pitch. The conditions of the turf weren't very good for us to play our game. But we battled through and managed to pick up a good point. I think teams who come and play on this pitch will struggle. We know we could have done better but with the conditions we found it hard to play our football game. For example, Darren had a chance in the first half and if it had been a better surface he would have scored. He told me it bobbled up for him before he shot. But we're happy to leave here with a point.”

IGERIA's Super Eagles are expected to play two international friendly matches before the end of June this

year. The first of the tune-up games will be against South Americans, Peru in May. In June, the Super Eagles will play hosts to Namibia at the National Stadium in Abuja. Secretary-General of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Musa Amadu confirmed the warm-up games are in line for the nation's national team. He added that the Peru game is however "outside of the Fifa international window" and will have a team of local-based players representing Nigeria. "The Super Eagles made up of home-based players will play Peru in a friendly match in May. The match is outside of the Fifa international window and that's why the homebased will be used to prosecute that game. "Some of the home-based players will also be part of the friendly against Namibia for Abuja in June, as the team prepare for the second leg of the (2013) Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Rwanda," he said. The Nigerians are scheduled to face their Rwandan counterparts in a first leg game of the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualification in Kigali on Wednesday.

Apam may face further sanction O NYEKACHI Apam must sit out this weekend's Ligue 1 fixture against Lorient. Against Lille last weekend, the former Enugu Ranger was sent off after 38 minutes for two irrational tackles. The Super Eagle was shown a yellow card by Referee Clement Turpin on 37 minutes. A minute later, the 25-year-old central defender again incurred the

wrath of the referee for another harsh tackle on an opponent. The Disciplinary Committee of the LFP will meet next Thursday to decide whether or not to extend his one-match ban. Sunday's game was Apam's fifth game of the season for sixth on the table Rennes.

Osaze: John Terry will never be my friend •Happy to stay at West Brom

SAZE Odemwingie is back to his best with five goals in his last two games for EPL side West Brom. The 30-year-old striker has told Soviet Sport he can never be friends with Chelsea skipper John Terry, who is accused of making racist comments to Queens Park Rangers Anton Ferdinand. ''I do not blame him. But in no way I want to support him. I do not tolerate his antics. People such as Terry will never be my friend. John has a big problem with the character. Perhaps it started in childhood. It is not surprising that about him goes all sorts of stories,'' Odemwingie said. He continued: '' With Terry it happens too often. Here's an episode. I was playing against Chelsea and Terry came to tackle me, but I jumped and landed on his foot. After that, he told me a lot of words. And all of them, shall we say, were superfluous. Racism was not. But so much hatred!'' Meanwhile, Odemwingie and seven other Europe-based professionals have arrived the Eagles camp in Abuja ahead of Wednesday's 2013 African Cup of Nations qualifying fixture against Rwanda in Kigali. However,Osaze claims he is 'very happy' at West Brom having held clear-the-air talks with boss Roy Hodgson. The Nigerian international hitman endured a difficult start to the campaign as injuries and a loss of form hindered his efforts to emulate his first season in the Premier League when he scored 15 goals to ensure the Baggies

avoided relegation. It resulted in some criticism from Hodgson, who expressed his disappointment in Odemwingie's performances since he agreed a new contract last summer, while he also questioned his commitment to the cause as he kept delaying his comeback from a knee injury. However, the pair subsequently held crunch talks which resulted in a major up-turn in form for the player, who followed up his recent hat-trick against Wolves with a brace in Saturday's 4-0 win against Sunderland at the Hawthorns. "I had a few thoughts that something was wrong and I wanted to know his plans and if there was any doubt about my commitment to the club," Odemwingie said in The Independent. "He said he was '100 per cent' that he wanted to work with me and that I shouldn't take his frustration and anger [as being aimed] towards me. He said he always wanted me to play for his team. For me [not wanting to play] had nothing to do with it. I am the total opposite of a player who doesn't want to play through pain.

KIGALI BATTLE

Yobo

to set Nigerian record

•Fenerbahce ace to surpass Mudashiru, Kanu’s 86 caps S

KIPPER Joseph Yobo will set a Nigerian record for international matches when the Super Eagles take the pitch in the dustswept, non-descript environment of Stade Regionale de Nyamirambo on Wednesday. The 31 year-old defender equalled the Nigerian record of 86 caps, jointly held by late powerhouse midfielder Mudashiru Lawal and the inimitable Nwankwo Kanu, when the Eagles swept past newly- crowned African champions Zambia 2-0 in Kaduna on November 15, 2011. On Wednesday, Yobo would become the first Nigerian to win 87 caps in the 2013 African Cup of Nations qualifying match against the Amavubi. The Nigeria Football Federation has congratulated the Fenerbahce defender, who will also celebrate 11 years on the road with the Senior National Team next month. “This is a milestone that is worthy of recognition, and we commend Yobo for not only

being in there for so long, but also serving as a role model for the upcoming players with his exemplary conduct and patriotic fervour and zeal each time”, said NFF General Secretary, Barrister Musa Amadu. Wednesday’s match will see a dream combination of foreign-based stars and the home boys, who did well in holding Angola’s Nations Cup-bound squad to a 0-0 in a friendly in Abuja in January and defeated Liberia 2-0 in Liberia midFebruary. Goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama has to convince the technical crew that he is as sharp as ever and deserving of the number one shirt ahead of Chigozie Agbim, while Skipper Joseph Yobo himself must compete for a central defence position with home boys Azubuike Egwueke and Papa Idris. Sunshine Stars’ skipper Godfrey Oboabona is sure to start at right back, but an intense battle

looms at left back between Englandbased Taye Taiwo and Sharks FC boy Juwon Oshaniwa. In the midfield, Dickson Etuhu, Victor Moses, Sani Kaita and Joel Obi from Europe will have to sweat it out with home boys Gabriel Reuben, Bartholomew Ibenegbu and Obinna Nwachukwu. Upfront, Osaze Odemwingie, Ahmed Musa, Ikechukwu Uche and Yakubu Ayegbeni must be up-and-doing with Uche Kalu, Ejike Uzoenyi and Sunday Mba, who scored the two goals against Liberia in Monrovia, all breathing down their necks. The Nigerian delegation will fly a chartered RwandAir aircraft to Kigali on Monday night and depart aboard the same airline on Wednesday immediately after the match.

Maigari: Only a win will be good enough P

RESIDENT of the Nigeria Football Federation, Aminu Maigari said on Monday that the Super Eagles have to win Wednesday’s 2013 African Cup of Nations qualifying match against Rwanda in Kigali to be on track to winning back the confidence of Nigerians. “We have to go there and win. There is nothing like taking prisoners in Kigali on Wednesday. It has to be an all-out attack and the objective should be victory”, said Maigari. Super Eagles’ Head Coach, Stephen Keshi on Saturday completed the roster for the 22man playing body for the match, listing 11 home boys who will square up against the same number of foreign-based pros called up for the encounter. And on Monday, Keshi himself declared that there would be no mercy or flippancy as he approaches his first competitive match in charge of the senior team with total seriousness. “We have been working hard all these weeks in order to get a result in Kigali and then finish up the job at

home here in June. Our first target is qualification for the 2013 African Cup of Nations”, said Keshi, who has seen his boys win two and draw two international friendlies since taking charge in November 2011. Maigari said on Monday that the Federation has moved to mobilize all the necessary financial and moral ammunition to get the Eagles to do the job in east Africa. “We are leaving no stones unturned. Surely, we have all learnt a big lesson from the immediate past and now, all matches will be approached with the seriousness deserving of a Cup Final”, he stated. After failing to qualify for the 1986 African Cup of Nations, the Green Eagles appreciated the general disappointment of Nigerians and showed determination to go full blast into the qualifying campaign for the 1988 finals. In their first match in the series, on April 2, 1987, they were held 1-1 in

Lome by the Hawks of Togo. And in a 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying match in Kigali on June 5, 2005, the Super Eagles had to conjure a late equalizer as Osaze Odemwingie set up Obafemi Martins. But Maigari said a draw would not do this time. “No, we are not going for a draw. We are going to Kigali to win”, he said simply. Among the current playing body, only Captain Joseph Yobo, goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama and forward Osaze Odemwingie will recall memories of the 2005 encounter, when South African referee Daniel Bennett blows the whistle for kick-off at 3.30pm Rwandan time (1.30pm Nigeria time) on Wednesday. The return leg will take place in Nigeria on June 17.

Bribing foreign officials

Justice for a CJ •Kwara learns a hard lesson over undue process

FTER three years, Justice Raliat Elulu-Habeeb, sacked Chief Judge of Kwara State, got a reprieve. A seven-man Supreme Court panel in Abuja, on February 18, declared her 2009 sack wrongful and illegal; and ordered her reinstatement. For the second time in three years, Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, is a grand stage for the slow majesty of the rule of law. The first was the University of Ilorin (Unilorin) 5, the lecturers among the 49 the university authorities dismissed in 2001 for joining the strike called by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU); but ordered reinstated for lack of fair hearing in 2009. The second is the present case of Kwara chief judge, Justice Elulu-Habeeb: sacked in 2009; reinstated in 2012. Incidentally, both cases were deter-

‘From the case of Justice EluluHabeeb, it was clear Kwara State, under former Governor Bukola Saraki, only partially followed the provisions of Sections 27(1) and 292(1)(a)(ii)(b) of the 1999 Constitution, regarding the appointment and removal of state chief judges. Section 27(1) was clear enough: the NJC must recommend the state chief judge before the governor can appoint him after the state legislature had endorsed the nomination’

mined, less on the culpability or otherwise of the victims of arbitrary actions; but more on the refusal of the deciding authorities to follow due process. The Unilorin 5 were not given fair hearing before dismissal; Justice Elulu-Habeeb’s purported sack did not include the input of the National Judicial Council (NJC) which, the Supreme Court ruled, was vital for her hire; and logically should have been vital for her fire. Why do Nigerian authorities tend to treat their own laws and procedures with contempt? Could it be a natural aversion to due process? Or a tragic carry-over from the decades of military rule? Or just plain impatience with the slow grinding wheel of justice, when a government, even under a democratic dispensation, is expected to dish out sanctions fast and sharp? From the case of Justice Elulu-Habeeb, it was clear Kwara State, under former Governor Bukola Saraki, only partially followed the provisions of Sections 27(1) and 292(1)(a)(ii)(b) of the 1999 Constitution, regarding the appointment and removal of state chief judges. Section 27(1) was clear enough: the NJC must recommend the state chief judge before the governor can appoint him after the state legislature had endorsed the nomination. For removal, Section 292(1)(a)(ii) declared that a state governor could remove the chief judge “acting on an address supported by twothirds majority of the House of Assembly of the state.” The Saraki government followed this provision. But it did not follow the corresponding 292(1)(b) that the

governor must act on the NJC’s recommendation that the chief judge be removed. Thus, for the action to have stood, the executive should have obtained the NJC consent. That, backed by the twothird majority of the legislature, would have effectively removed the chief judge. So, why did it not seek the NJC consent? Because it was not confident its complaint against the chief judge was weighty enough? Or because it thought it would take time, and that it was in a hurry to act? The NJC check on state executive-legislative impunity, against a judicial officer, would appear laudable, given this clear Kwara case. But viewed from the federalist prism, it is clearly anti-federal. To the extent that the NJC is a central agency, outside the state local apparatus, it would appear a foreign busybody, interfering in the appointment and removal of judicial officers, which ought to have been the sole business of the state. But that is the law as it is; and those who clamour for a true federal constitution would do well to have the NJC issue in mind, no matter how beneficial it appears now curbing the excesses of state authorities, vis-a-vis their relations with the judiciary. After 13 years of democracy, the political players ought to have weaned themselves from the military-era mentality of tragic haste. The twin judgments from Ilorin, Kwara State, stand as proud monument to justice and loud warning to future dictatorial minds, who would rather go for impunity instead of due process, for whatever reasons or pressures.

Abdulmutallab’s comeuppance •The United States verdict on the Nigerian “underwear bomber” should deter ominous terrorists among us

T was poetic justice for Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab who tried to blow up a Detroit, United States (US)-bound airliner with explosives concealed in his underwear on Christmas Day in 2009. US federal judge Nancy G. Edmunds jailed him for life for conspiracy to commit an act of terrorism and attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction. The Northwest Airlines Flight 253 had 289 people on board. Despite stringent security measures in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks in America, Abdulmutallab managed to smuggle 76 grammes of the explosive Pentaerythritol tetraniyrate on board the flight from Amsterdam. The judge noted that Abdulmutallab, now tagged “underwear bomber,” showed no sign of remorse for his action. On the contrary, he remained defiant, pleading guilty to the charges and insisting that the Holy Quran allowed every Muslim to undertake jihad. Abdulmutallab was linked with the terrorist group Al Qaeda and confessed to have been inspired by the teachings of Osama Bin Laden. The attempted bombing was an evil act and deserves condemnation. It is ironic that the 26-year-old went the wrong way, given his privileged background as the son of a former Chairman of First Bank of Nigeria Plc and former Federal Commissioner for Economic Development. He has been described as a “spoilt brat”. Also, it is shocking that he played the role of a suicide bomber, ready to lose his own life in the process of bombing the plane. What is to blame for Abdulmutallab’s

extreme radicalisation and deviance: lax parental control, his exposure and training, or his religion? His lack of remorse may serve as inspiration to others, especially in these days of the Boko Haram menace in Nigeria. This is why the judgment should be seen as a welcome deterrent. Abdulmutallab was lucky that no lives were lost in the incident, which could have influenced the direction of the court judgment. It was a straightforward case and the judgment was fair. The arrest and trial of the culprit holds lessons for us in Nigeria where cases of terrorism are on the rise, due to the activities of the Islamic fundamentalist group, Boko Haram. From the moment he was apprehended to the judgment, the message was clear that America would not tolerate terrorism. The episode should serve as an eyeopener to our authorities that it is high time we focused on ways to deal effectively with terrorism. Recently, a high-profile terrorist escaped from detention in Nigeria. Although he was rearrested, it showed the levity with which terrorism is being tackled in the country. The US demonstrated that terrorism does not pay in a civilised society where rules are rules. Abdulmutallab has given Nigeria a bad name in the comity of nations. As he serves his deserved jail term, it is hoped that he would come to realise the futility of his action. Although his family has made a strong appeal to the American Justice Department to review the life sentence, and to

the Nigerian authorities to engage the American government to ensure that a review is made, this looks like colouring the circumstances with sentiment. Abdulmutallab’s father had, after all, warned America’s Criminal Investigation Agency (CIA) about his son’s growing radicalisation, a warning that went unheeded until the offence was committed. The concept of crime and punishment leaves little or no room for sentiments. Civilisation should be about development and not destructive tendencies. This is what Abdulmutallab failed to grasp in his warped mind. His indoctrination was faulty and he acted under the influence of bizarre brain-washing. To attempt to take the lives of others based on reasons of faith is unacceptable in the modern world.

‘Abdulmutallab was lucky that no lives were lost in the incident, which could have influenced the direction of the court judgment. It was a straightforward case and the judgment was fair. The arrest and trial of the culprit holds lessons for us in Nigeria where cases of terrorism are on the rise, due to the activities of the Islamic fundamentalist group, Boko Haram’

HE PAST FEW months have been inauspicious for the Justice Department’s efforts to crack down on overseas corruption. a Texas judge overturned the In December, convictions of Lindsey Manufacturing and two executives charged with paying bribes to Mexican utility officials. In the process, the judge skewered prosecutors for allowing “a key FBI agent to testify untruthfully before the grand jury” and making “misrepresentations to the Court.” Last week the department was essentially forced to drop charges against more than a dozen defendants accused of conspiring to bribe officials in Gabon. A federal judge castigated prosecutors for mishandling a key witness and for being too “aggressive” in their pursuit of this case. Department officials should be chastened and should review these cases to prevent future such failings. Justice’s Office of Professional Responsibility should scrutinize the allegations of prosecutorial misconduct and hold prosecutors accountable for wrongdoing. But even these serious lapses should not be used to gut the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) — the law that makes it a crime to bribe or attempt to bribe foreign officials to gain or maintain business overseas. Enacted in the wake of the Watergate scandal, the FCPA was virtually moribund for much of its existence, with barely a handful of cases brought each year. That began to change in 2007 when President George W. Bush rightly tagged overseas corruption as an impediment to innovation and free markets. The pursuit of such cases has only intensified under President Obama: In 2010, the government brought 24 enforcement actions and secured some $2 billion in criminal fines, according to the administration. The government’s increased reliance on the foreign corruption law has triggered an outcry. Led by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, businesses have been pressing Congress for changes they say are necessary to make the FCPA fairer and more comprehensible. The business alliance, for example, wants Congress to alter the law so that a company with a robust compliance program can raise this as a defense if the Justice Department attempts to hold it responsible for the criminal acts of a rogue employee. Such a move would be a significant departure in criminal law. (Companies in civil proceedings are permitted to invoke a “compliance defense,” in part because the burden of proof on the government is less strenuous.) Moreover, the Justice Department already considers a company’s compliance program when deciding whether it should be held culpable. The department’s guidelines also require that only companies that know of, direct or contribute to the wrongdoing may be held criminally liable. Lanny Breuer, head of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, has said that the department will conduct a review of the protocols that govern FCPA prosecutions. Mr. Breuer should consult with businesses to better understand their concerns; he should also use this opportunity to be more specific about what companies must do to avoid running afoul of the law. What he should not do, however, is to weaken enforcement of a law that has made the United States a leader in the ethical conduct of international business. – Washington Post

EDITORIAL/OPINION

IR: It is a paradox that Nigeria, one of the most religious countries in the world, is also one of the most corrupt, crisis-prone nations on earth. It beggars the question of the essence of religion. Religion is supposed to bind, not split. Religion is supposed to strengthen ethics and morality of society, not weaken them. It is supposed to correct societal ills, not perpetuate them. Religion should promote good neighbourliness and the sanctity of human lives, not bloodshed. These are the elusive ideals. Religion itself has been muddled up and now reeks of corruption. Today, materialism sits on the pulpit of many assemblies with monstrous bellicosity. Many pastors are vain pursuers of wealth who shifted business after several failed adventures, with the hope of lining their pockets with God’s money. Their sermons are therefore pure motivational and psychological cook-ups that misinterpret God’s Word to fleece unsuspecting and impressionable members. New ways are continuously formulated to expand profit. The new trend is schools. Those not satisfied with the tithes and offering of their members are floating schools run and established with their members’ money. So much for conscience and justice. Islam is one of the most organized religions in the world. Ever since the advent of the religion by

Perverted religion, source of Nigeria’s problems Prophet Mohammed (SAW), many adherents have learnt to fear and respect their imams because they are God’s mouth piece.

It is true that there are men of reprobate minds who may not

Yearning for a new SON

IR: It is now one year since President Goodluck Jonathan appointed Dr. Ikem Odumodu, former CEO, May & Baker Nigeria Plc, as Director General, Standards Organisation of Nigeria, SON. It is sorry state that nation became a dumping-ground for any and every imaginable rubbish under the sun. Some years back while travelling from Lagos to Owerri, our vehicle broke down at Ore due to failed fan belt. There were fan belts for sale all around but the driver

would not as much as check. He insisted that another vehicle would come from Lagos to continue the journey. His company, he said, bars them from buying spare parts on route, however little the item may be or refills the tank other than at designated points. With hours to kill before the rescue vehicle arrives, I visited one of the shops. I told the shopkeeper that he and his colleagues are driving away their customers by stocking products that people won’t take even for free.

Commentators have argued that the ugly state of affairs, vis-à-vis mass unemployment and mass poverty are responsible for the bandwagon: mothers wear babies used diapers, boys training to walk and running on second hand shoes, workers dreaming of owning third hand cars, women and girls buying brassieres and under-wears picked from rubbish heaps in Europe, America, Asia and elsewhere. It is a world of second hand, substandard and fake promises and values on display nationwide.

Who’s afraid of National Conference?

IR: Not minding the multiethnic original inhabitants and diverse nations that comprise Nigeria, the 1914 amalgamation was tailored by the colonialists to have firm grip on their colony. So, well-meaning Nigerians who believe in dynamism are calling for a real national conference which will restore the camaraderie in the country. Nigeria is blessed with everything that it takes to grow positively. Even if all the over 150 million Nigerians are of the same biological parents, there are bound to be misunderstandings that will require dialogue at times. Really, the word “sovereign” made the proposed national conference sound

respond to the prodding sermons of their religious leaders. But the situation in which the country is presently calls for a reassessment of what the pulpit feeds the pews with. Religious leaders should know they wield a lot of power and influence that can be positively deployed for the good of society. How many religious centres care about orphans and widows? How many mosques are involved in humanitarian services? How many churches give scholarships and grants to poor members children? If the government is wise and sincere enough, it would not ignore that clue as to where to begin its war against corruption and conflicts: religious houses. • Folarin Samson, NYSC, Ebonyi State

more like legislative property. Nevertheless, Nigerians prefer the assembly of a recommended number of stakeholders from the first eleven of each of the six geo-political zones to review and recommend the modus vivendi that will remould our amalgamation to reflect the aboriginal norms of Nigerians. No doubt, the National Assembly membership represents the interest of the people, but in the present circumstance, the people are saying that the co-ordination of the real conference by the National Assembly might not be able to cut across partisanship. Some elite who are benefiting from our borrowed alien amalgam-

ation are wittingly and deceptively luring the people into misconstruing the national conference as a prerequisite for disintegration. Rather, trivialising the restoration of values into our amalgamation project and lack of respect for the ethnic component of the association (which the national conference will address) could result in absolute disintegration. Nigeria has tremendously fused together, so much that breaking up is not the solution to our problems, but will rather compound them. When it would have been easier for the country to break up, it defied all attempts to do so. If by fate, a component succeeds in pulling out of the association (Nigeria), now,

others will follow suit. Consequently, the new sovereign states will be at war with one another for boundary related matters, asset sharing and various obvious reasons like reparations and indebtedness. It is like out of the frying-pan and into the fire. So, the leeway to fanatic-free and ethnic-friendly one Nigeria is a real national conference that is characterised by positivity, sincerity and people-oriented precepts. The excesses of religious and equal rights militants have become an incessant threat to the corporate existence of Nigeria. A stitch in time saves nine. • Tunde Temionu Lagos.

To state that SON is strategic to delivering the transformation agenda of the Jonathan presidency is to say the obvious. To hint that SON has more daunting challenges than NAFDAC before its turnaround is to say it short and sharp. The question is: can Odumodu deliver? This is a two-sided question: are the six-point agenda doable and if they are , are we assured of a new dawn that brings sanity to bear? Nigeria is losing heavily with substandard and fake products: money, man-hours, integrity, health, business and life, ultimately. It is even worse: self-depreciation mentality of quality is unaffordable. The new DG wants to and must deliver competitiveness and sanity in the Nigerian market. Education is key with the mind to induce cultural rebirth. Government must help SON help Nigerians reclaim our lost human and social dignity. The environmental dangers in products dump are not as bad as the cultural decay that has led masses to lose all sense of beauty, decency and integrity. And everyone can contribute positively to pull through a critical curve – a new dawn and new SON. • Richard Anyamele Lagos.

Who is afraid of integration?

‘Let Nigerians engage themselves to get Nigeria out of the present hole of structured poverty. It is the sane way to bury the bogey of secession’

EVER perhaps before in the history of our nation has the imperative to overhaul the dysfunctional federal structure gathered the kind of momentum that we are beginning to see. It is just as well. Kunle Abimbola – who shares this page with me – put the matter in context last week when he described the present structure of the Nigerian federation as a development nightmare. He does not exaggerate. He merely reflected the longrunning commentary on the current structure of government that continues to stifle creativity and regional competitiveness while alienating the citizens from governance. The decade-plus of steady economic growth that has translated into greater misery for the majority of the population isn’t just proof of how dysfunctional things are; it underlies the nature and depth of the malaise. The economy, clearly is not working. Manufacturing has remained comatose, courtesy of the parlous infrastructure situation. The last decade has been one of steady decline in manufacturing capacity leading to a phenomenon described as de-industrialisation. More money has poured into our three-layered structure of bureaucracy in the last 12 years than from the time of independence, yet poverty has been on the increase. Perhaps, with the exception of the creaky machine of bureaucracy – that purpose-built machine eternally primed to deliver unmerited value (rent) to the power elite and their cronies while guaranteeing exclusion for the rest of us – the holloi polloi – all our institutions have virtually succumbed to atrophy. However, just as the militancy in the Niger Delta awoke the nation to the ugly reality of underdevelopment of the oil producing parts of the Nigerian federation, regional disparities in the prevalence of the phenomenon of poverty – particularly as it affects the north – seems to have spawned

‘While I have no problems with the idea of an equitable formula for distributing the accruals into the federation account, it seems to me that the poverty, which they now attribute to their share of accruals, reflects more of the acute intellectual poverty of the governing elite particularly their inability to wean themselves of the fixation with oil money’

Now the North wants more

a different kind of debate on perceived iniquities in the nation’s distributive arrangement. Interestingly, the line of thought – that the revenue allocation is at the heart of the north’s troubles – was first championed by the Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi in his rather controversial interview with the Financial Times of UK late last year. That position appears to be gaining traction each day. The latest is last week’s call by a group composed of northern intelligentsia – with the northern governors as arrowhead – for a review of the federal allocation formula. The inevitability of restructuring of the Nigerian federation was perhaps conveniently thrown in as an aside in what seems an attempt to muddle the waters of the quest for a Sovereign National Conference. Here is what Babangida Aliyu, Niger State governor – chairman of the Northern Governors Forum said during the inauguration of Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation Advisory Council – the group’s advisory body on development; “The North today is in a very grave situation where illiteracy, poverty and general backwardness are on the rise in the face of unfavourable federation allocation structure in which the Northern states are at great disadvantage”. In the environment of the anarchy prevailing in the region, fuelled by forces of poverty and religious fundamentalism – both of which are by—products of the failure of governance, concerns with twin issues of economic justice and accelerated development are only natural. This is even more so now with the region facing three critical challenges of (1) security; how to arrest the wave of anarchy and terror imposed by the Boko Haram; (2) governance; how to rebuild the faith of the citizens in government and, (3) peace; how to create the environment conducive to attracting the badly needed development without which the region remains a no hoper.

To start with, I find the situation of the governors unenviable at this time. With fire literally ravaging their homesteads, it is a question of what alibi to serve their angry, and restive population to rationalise the tragedy of monumental abdication of governance that has left the entire region prostrate and destitute. Wanting more at this time is certainly legitimate. Unfortunately, the idea of putting the revenue formula on the spot – and tying this to the so-called amendment to laws on the continental shelf – obviously tally with the penchant to deflect responsibility from the profligacy of the years; it conduces to the greater tragedy of prebendal politics of entitlement now replicated in the monthly conclave to share national revenue. Central to all of these of course is the politics of revenue sharing. While I have no problems with the idea of an equitable formula for distributing the accruals into the federation account, it seems to me that the poverty, which they now attribute to their share of accruals, reflects more of the acute intellectual poverty of the governing elite particularly their inability to wean themselves of the fixation with oil money. Let any of the northern governors deny that the region has received more oil revenue in the last 12 years than in the nearly four decades since independence. Secondly, let them also present evidence in verifiable projects as proof of where the billions went. Blaming the revenue formula for the situation in which corruption is allowed to outstrip all projections of revenue is simply unacceptable. If ever there is an alibi that won’t wash – this would be it! And if I may add – where is the evidence to suggest that a higher flow of revenue would automatically translate to lifting the region out of poverty? Finally, we go back to the question of whether indeed the North is poor. The answer is obvious: how can? With a swathe uncultivated arable lands, and with bounteous resources beneath its soils – all lying unexplored, where is the idea of the region’s pact with poverty coming from? From the elite used to freebie? Isn’t it about time true leaders of the North re-examined the present stifling arrangement that alienates and consigns majority to the development fringe? I do not pretend to know what informed the change of heart on the part of the leaders on the idea of restructuring the federation. I hope the plan is not to patch up the stifling arrangement which allows citizen Paul to do all the work while citizen Jonathan takes the reward. That is why I do not know what to make of the Abuja outing of the northern leaders of Friday. By the way, when will the region come up with its blueprint on integration and development as part of the on-going strategy to get the Nigeria behemoth working? Why should the eminent citizens waste such valuable forum to dwell on the shrinking national cake? It’s alright to want more – but then, this also comes with the responsibility to put more on the table.

THE NATION TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2012

EDITORIAL/OPINION HE evil that men do seems no longer patient to wait to live after them. It is not only following them all over the place but ready at all times to punish them. Zakari Biu, the sadistic anti terrorism expert who until February 22, this year was the Commissioner of Police saddled with the responsibility of curbing the growing incidences of terror related crimes in the country, has been dismissed from service by the Police Service Commission. His offense? His role in the escape from police custody of Christmas Day bombing suspect Kabiru Umar, alias Kabiru Sokoto. Biu was found guilty of complicity in the escape of the suspected mastermind of the December 25, 2011 bombing of St Theresa’s Catholic Church, Madallah, near Abuja, causing death to no fewer than 44 persons including parishioners. His despicable role in that national embarrassment was a mere cap on the can of evil that the former Police Commissioner has personified since his rise into national prominence during the evil years of General Sani Abacha as Head of State and Commander-in-Chief. Those who lost their loved ones in the hands of Biu and his men under Abacha can attest to his brutality and savagery. The family of Bagauda Kaltho, The News magazine journalist killed in mysterious circumstances in 1996 by suspected government agents will never forget him. The scars of his brutality is there for all to see in Senator Chris Anyanwu, another journalist who, while in detention, was brutalized to such an extent that she suffered permanent impairment to her eyesight. The list of his evil deeds is long. Many are not known to the public. Even the Oputa panel could not discover them all, but the victims are somewhere, licking their wounds in silence. Each time nemesis was about catching up with Biu, the powers that be were quick to cover him up. Even when former President Olusegun Obasanjo, a victim of Biu’s brutality kicked him out of the Police shortly on assumption of office, the evil policeman from Biu in Borno State waited patiently for Obasanjo’s tenure to end, before staging a return to the force, aided by his friends, including former Inspector General of Police, Hafiz Ringim. Such was Biu’s ‘connections’ in high places that Abacha’s successor as Head of State,

What next for Biu, Nigeria Police ? General Abdulsalami Abubakar even honored the brute with a national award, a decision widely condemned then by many who saw it as rewarding evil. Confident that his misdeeds could go unpunished, Biu appealed his forced exit from the Police and was reabsorbed by the Police Service Commission led by a retired Deputy Inspector General Parry Osayande. It is noteworthy that this same Osayande led PSC that reabsorbed Biu purportedly to correct an alleged injustice done to him by the Obasanjo regime, (his dismissal then we were told did not go through due process) has now found the man unworthy of that uniform and has therefore dismissed him from service. What an irony. While Osayande’s PSC could be said to have done the right thing by going through the whole disciplinary process before dismissing Biu, the decision not to have punished him earlier in the face of overwhelming evidence of human rights abuse, raises a serious moral question. What more did the Police authority need to convince them that this particular officer was not fit for that uniform? Were they waiting for him to kill or maim a particular number of suspects under the guise of fighting terrorism before bringing him to book? Why didn’t the authority act appropriately the first time he was booted out of service? If due process had been followed then, Biu would not have found his way back into the Nigeria Police and the nation would have been spared the embarrassment of the escape of known terrorists like Kabiru Sokoto. There was enough evidence then to have

tried Biu in -house by the Police and he could have either been found guilty or not guilty, in which case he would have either been recalled or formally dismissed and handed over to the relevant authorities for prosecution, but this was not done and the effect of that was what we had with the Sokoto case and the larger Boko Haram menace. For far too long things have not been done the right way in this country, especially in our public institutions like the Police. Decisions are often taken based solely on ethnic consideration. Did the Police Service Commission carry out due diligence so to speak on Biu’s records before they decided to recall him? If yes, how thorough was this? Did they go through Oputa Panel report before giving the man a clean bill? If for no other reason at all, the accusations against Biu at the Oputa Panel ought to have tipped off the PSC that the man’s past deserves stricter scrutiny. How many of this kind of criminal mistakes the Police authorities have made in the past only God knows, and these mistakes could be part of the problems we are facing in the Police now. Who knows how many of the likes of Biu are still in service? How many criminals/terrorists have been let off the hook and allowed to slip through the hands of the Police under Biu’s command? Some of those planting bombs for Boko Haram now, killing us could be ex detainees allowed to escape by Biu and his boys, who knows? This is the price we are paying for not doing things the right way. Yes, Biu could have done some good things for the country in his area of specialty, but

his records as revealed by those who were unfortunate to have experienced his brutality were too grotesque to warrant him still having a place in The Nigeria Police. He should have been fired a long time ago. Now that he has been booted out, the evil man should not be allowed to go scot free. And it is about time the Oputa Panel findings on his case is revisited. Those souls he has wronged are crying for justice. He should go on trial not only for the Kabiru Sokoto escape but also for all the human rights abuses of the past under his watch as well as the other crimes against humanity that he allegedly committed. This will go a long way to teach others like him, still in service, a lesson that whatever they do, they will give account one day to the public in whose interest they hold their positions. The retirement of the immediate past IGP Ringim and his team, togrther with the dismissal of Biu offers the new management of the Nigeria Police and opportunity to restructure and reposition the force for better performance. This is a good opportunity for a new beginning. There are too many illeterates and bad eggs in the Police and the earlier they are weeded out the better. These people could then be replaced by some of those graduates roaming the streets. These are educated but jobless people who could adapt quickly to the demands of modern police work. It will cost money, yes. But no good thing comes cheap

‘It is noteworthy that this same Osayande led PSC that reabsorbed Biu purportedly to correct an alleged injustice done to him by the Obasanjo regime, (his dismissal then we were told did not go through due process) has now found the man unworthy of that uniform and has therefore dismissed him from service. What an irony’

VIEW FROM THE FOREIGN PRESS

T is uncharitable, hypocritical and also naïve to continue to enjoy the memory of Ikemba Nnewi, Late Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu as an outstanding leader of the Igbo nation without devoting a thought to the threats, yet possible gains that his exit has introduced in the annals of the Igbo nation – a nation that he loved dearly and died for. This is the thrust of this piece and I hasten to add that the title of this article is borrowed from an earlier critique I did in year 2000 in the manner of a clarion call to the Igbo nation while expressing serious concern about the present place of the Igbo nation and people in the political calculation of Nigeria. I had challenged, the then Eze Igbo Gburugburu to rise above the mundane affairs of that time and focus on the declining attributes of a typical Igbo man, which in my humble view, had receded to the background and compromised the virtues for which the Ikemba was known as true and patriotic leader. There was also a total absence of selfless, credible and purposeful leadership, coupled with the quest for materialism to the detriment of the core values for which the Igbo man was well known and respected. It was a public admonition aimed at encouraging a people to reinvent themselves knowing that they still possessed the potentials that stood them out as a very formidable ( both in spirit and character) people before the Nigerian Civil War (1967 – 70) and soon afterwards. As the protagonist of the Igbo movement, I realized that the Ikemba found himself at a precarious cross roads between Biafra, the metaphor for all the ideals, goals, hopes, aspirations and pains of the entire Igbo people and Bianca, the metaphorical soft side of those core concerns, qualifying also as the ephemeral distractions and contradictions within the context of that properly defined movement. I had by that piece, invited Chief Ojukwu, at another threshold of history, to display courage, once again and exercise good judgment in choosing between the

Between Biafra and ‘Bianca’ By Malachy Ugwummadu metaphorical Biafra which he symbolized and Bianca who represents the diluted factors in the present “partnership” saddle with the same crucial responsibility of delivering on the possibilities of the Igbo people. It was, indeed, my view that the Ikemba was at another threshold of history – this time, a moral war and burden he owed his people having been beckoned again, by history to discharge same. The conditions that rendered that call relevant in year 2000 are still very prevalent today necessitating a repeat of the same call, in the same manner but perhaps to different champions since we have now lost Ojukwu, an authentic pillar of the Igbo identity. The larger picture of the void created by Ojukwu’s exit is better captured from the perspective of Ojukwu’s inevitability in the socio political evaluation and content of the Igbo nation. None before him, painfully after him, has leveraged on the kind of sound judgment, sacrifice and tacit in both articulating and prosecuting the “Igbo programmes and agenda” strategically designed for the greater interests of the Igbos within the Nigerian federation. He was thoroughly equipped in terms of education and intellect even at a tender age and rode on the crest of his father’s fame and affluence to discharge this historic responsibility. However, the point must be emphasized that the selfless and altruistic content of all his early adventures towered transparently above any material gains that could accrue to him and there lay the essence of Ojukwu, service and sacrifice through courage and integrity. Now let’s carefully navigate back to the true place of Ojukwu in the consciousness and history of the Igbo nation with a view to serving his memory better in this era of

mourning. To have confronted the Nigerian state in the manner and at the time that he did on the core questions of justice and equity without glossing over them for selfish gains dramatised integrity as a core component of courage and truth. It should not come as a surprise because, as at the time in question, it was more honourable to stand and speak the words of truth than to pursue primitive accumulation of material wealth which presently defines leadership in that part of the country. To enter a caveat on this loose generalisation is to qualify the foregoing assertion and say that albeit; the culture of materialism was already noticeable then. Ojukwu elected to engage his society with activities that promoted the cause of justice, truth even when he was actually configured, by his background, to follow suit and particularly when he bore the brunt and scare of the civil war. All of these came with very high costs including a fragmented family life even among his siblings – a similar situation that played out in Madiba’s family in South Africa. It was only that degree of virtues firmly anchored on courage, integrity and sacrifice that could have propelled a man at his age then to lead his people to war in the face of very many alternative options available to him as the then military administrator of the South Eastern Region of Nigeria. Ojukwu did not stop there neither was he deterred by the colossal loss he recorded both human and material. Apparently, there are divergent views on the propriety of his next line of action after his return from exile. A lot of persons perceived his political venture into the National Party of Nigeria (NPN) of the second republic as both opportunistic and selfish. Undoubtedly, and great as he was,

Ojukwu was also controversial and human in many respects. Those perceptions notwithstanding, including the arguable fact that he was strategically used to undermine the political fortunes of Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, the Ikemba carefully realigned himself with his people and led the Igbo on the platform of the All Peoples’ Grand Alliance (APGA) at a time that political fortunes of the Igbos were also dwindling. But moving forward in service to the memory of Odumegwu Ojukwu, is to make deliberate efforts at carefully locating and appropriating the greatest lessons of Ojukwu’s life within the context of what he meant and achieved for the Igbos and the mistakes he made in his genuine efforts and/ or desperation to accomplish his wishes for his people. The purpose of the present effort is not to be stagnated by the eventful life (part) of the Ikemba but to set fresh standards for whoever is beckoned by history to step into his shoes. Such standards must ineluctably tackle the challenges that seek to restore the sad memory of the civil war and the vestiges of the defeat they suffered. The continued threats and killings of the Igbos in the northern part of the country at the slightest security situation without provocation and subsequent compensation directly attacks the identity of the Igbos and seriously undermines the objective conditions of peaceful co-existence in Nigeria today. Sharp practices that promote marginalization in terms of institutional/ infrastructural developments of the Southeast as well as federal presence appointments all conspire to preserve the sad memories of the war. By and large Chief Ojukwu managed to promote the interest of his people beyond personal interests.Whoever steps into Odumegwu Ojukwu’s shoe must appreciate these attributes, an invaluable attribute and legacy for anyone whose is to consolidate on the foundation laid by the Ikemba. • Ugwummadu is a Lagos-based lawyer.

When Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola launched the state’s Home Ownership Mortgage Scheme (HOMS) last year, he said it was designed to make the dream of home ownership come true for Lagosians. The scheme is, however, tilted towards prospective firsttime home owners and residents. The government has, subsequently, followed it up with the building of estates and infrastructure in Epe, Ijaiye, Ojokoro, Apapa, Igbogbo in Ikorodu and Okota. At the inauguration of Elegushi Estate, Lekki Scheme 11, built by Lagos State Development and Property Corporation (LSDPC), last week, Fashola said the estate contains all the facilities that the government can provide in a site-and-serviced scheme.

How far can Lagos push its hybrid housing strategy? •Continued from Page 21

HE Lagos State Home Ownership Mortgage Scheme (HOMS), launched last year, has yielded fruits. The state is inching towards affordable homes for the low to medium income groups, with the coming on stream of housing schemes in Epe, Ijaiye, Ojokoro, Apapa, Igbogbo and Okota and the Elegushi Estate, Lekki Scheme 11 built by the Lagos State Development and Property Corporation (LSDPC) last week. At the inauguration of the Elegushi Estate, Lekki Scheme 11 last week, Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola said the middle class estate is a strategic intervention in housing provision where the profit gained from building for the rich will be harnessed to provide the needed infrastructure for the public. He said the estate has all the infrastructure that the government can provide in a site-and-serviced scheme. “We have electricity, good road network; we encourage all those who are holding property titles in Lekki Scheme to take up this rare opportunity to start developing. “The journey time from the Central Business District on Lagos Island to the place is shortening by the day. Our partners, the concessioners on the Lekki Epe Expressway and their contractors are making progress, adding inch-byinch to the expansion project and daily making improvement on the expressway. “What used to take 40 minutes to one hour now takes less than 30 minutes’ drive. As the road inches past estates, the value of the property increases daily. All the land

owning families in this area have been enjoying the rise in the value of their properties.” Fashola said 90 family units of three-bedroom flats in 15 blocks of six flats each is the government’s commitment to vigorously addressing the social and economic challenges of affordable housing for the people. He said the project took about 12 months to deliver with 11 companies contracted and about 4,000 skilled and unskilled workers employed at the site while the construction lasted. He hinted that the government adopted the high breed strategy not only on direct government construction but also on schemes targeted at middle and upper middle income earners where government agencies, such as LSPDC build for profit, and the profit used by government to fund social housing for the less privileged and more vulnerable members of the society. “These are the options in our basket of solutions to confront the housing challenge of the state, that we will continue to pursue,” he said. On private sector participation in the housing sector, the governor disclosed that Okota housing scheme was built by the private sector in partnership with the government where the government provided land while the private sector sourced the capital and subsequently delivered the project, according to specifics. According to him, the state is enjoying sustainable model for increased growth, which is not only eradicating poverty but also creating jobs and securing the society. He said: “By the time you factor all those who benefited from this

•Fashola flanked by Oki (right ) and Jeje at the event

project, by adding the benefits of those who supplied building materials, and those who will still benefit when the owners of these flats take possession and begin to buy curtain, carpets, electronics, cutlery, and other household items, the long term benefit of housing delivery and supply as a critical component of economic development and job creation will require no further definition.” He also revealed that the state tender board approved 156 projects and out of these, 74 projects were either direct housing estate projects or housing infrastructure development projects. Fashola listed them to include, the construction of 44 blocks of housing in Alimosho, 16 blocks of housing in Ikeja; three blocks in Surulere and 12 in Ogba with 24 months duration. These will together yield 1,332

flats comprising 1,2 and 3 bedrooms across the state that will be delivered on a mortgage finance basis. When we begin to think how many people will work on this site, the number of people who will depend on those who will work on this site, the number of people that will benefit when another 1, 032 families begin to live in their houses and begin to buy their household requirements, our economy is certainly on the upward swing,” he said. Earlier, in his welcome address, LSDPC Managing Director, Mr Biodun Oki, said the estate was conceived to mobilise development within the Lekki scheme, which has remained largely undeveloped despite government’s efforts at providing infrastructure. He said that though his agency is fully commercialised, they still

continue to play their role as a development agency as the estate demonstrates as not motivated largely by commercial demonstration but social necessity. Oki said the estate, which sits on 1.760 hectares has 90 three bedroom flats set on 15 blocks are tastefully furnished with fitted wardrobes and kitchen with an attached maids room. On facilities provided, the LSDPC boss revealed that they built a neigbourhood centre designed to have a mini gym, pharmacy, salon, supermarket, maintenance office and meeting room. He said the infrastructure was well planned to reflect the terrain with well paved roads, effective drainage, generator for common facilities in the event of public supply failure and two boreholes with water plant to guarantee water supply.

LAWMA, UNEP others push for landfill gas project

AGOS State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA), the United Nations Environment Project (UNEP) and African Asset Development ( ACAD) are partnering to tap gas in several landfill sites in Lagos State. They also intend to put it to good use for the public in terms of energy generation, recycling and the preservation of the environment. At the take-off of the project last Thursday, in Lagos, LAWMA General Manager, Technical, Mr Jelili Olubori said the programme was part of the process for developing and registering a Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project under the Kyoto protocol managed by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The Kyoto protocol an international environmental treaty, is aimed at fighting global warming and stabilising atmospheric concentration of hazardous gases by imbibing best practices in preserving the environment. He said the state with the support of development agencies was working towards emission reduction by developing projects that would lower Green House Emission as against that produced in the developed world who are guilty of contributing to global warming as a result of emissions from manufacturing industries. He praised the project aimed at recovering landfill gas from the authorities land fill sites considering the various environmental challenges the state and country has witnessed in recent times. In his presentation the Managing

Director of LAWMA, Mr. Ola Oresanya, said the pilot scheme will take-off from the landfill sites at Olusoshoun, Solous and Abule-Egba. The project on a 20 year concession agreement will ensure the closure, collection and utilisation of landfill gas at existing dumpsites and the establishment of an Integrated Solid Waste Management Facility (IWMF) comprising of a Material Recovery Facility, recycling and composting facility as well as a sanitary landfill for residual waste. He observed that though the state has a unique opportunity to improve municipal solid waste management and reduce its carbon footprint through land fill gas recovery it has unfortunately not fully harnessed this due to the lack of gas control system. Oresanya said the objective of the CDM projects is to capture methane from waste and utilise it for electricity, preventing the release of greenhouse gas into the environment and reducing the state carbon footprint and complying with international standards on environmental governance. Speaking on landfill gas capture and control, the LAWMA boss said the authority has developed gas wells to manage and recycle municipal solid waste into clean energy. He said it is extracted from landfills using a series of wells and a blower system which directs the collected gas to a central point where it can be processed and treated depending on the ultimate use for it.

He said: “Landfill gas can be extracted for a variety of energy purposes, such as generation of electricity with engines, turbines, microturbines and other emerging technologies, processing the landfill gas to make it available as alternative fuel to local industrial or commercial customers in addition to creating pipeline-quality gas or an alternative fuel for vehicles.” On factors that determine gas gen-

eration in landfills waste composition, he said the more organic waste is present in a landfill, the more the landfill gas is produced by the bacteria during decomposition and the more chemicals disposed of in the landfill, the more likely non-methane organic compounds and other gases will be produced. Other benefits he said include better environmental health and living standard, job creation and investment

opportunities. Others are provision of public utility, infrastructure and the creation of wealth by employing market based solutions for solving the social challenge of waste. On impediments to recycling, he said it relates to sorting, lack of standards because of several kinds of grades, poor technology for reprocessing, poor marketability of recovered waste by industries and vested interest in the status quo.

Kwara to begin vehicle test for gaseous emission

HE Kwara State government will from next month begin the testing of vehicles for gaseous emission. This is an effort geared towards mitigating the challenges of climate change, the Environment and Forestry Commissioner, Mr Samuel Bamisaye, has said. Accordingly, the commissioner has been meeting with stakeholders to enlighten them on the programme as well as other proposed activities of his ministry. The commissioner gave hints about the test at a meeting with members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) as well as their counterpart in the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN) in Ilorin, the state capital. Praising the two unions for their

continued support for the government, Bamisaiye stressed the need for them to co-operate with the government over the new move. He said the move was needed to realise positive environmental changes that will help to improve livelihood. The commissioner disclosed that certificates and stickers would be issued twice a year to individuals whose vehicles meet the standard regulations on gaseous emission control. He noted that emissions from generators and vehicles as well as the dumping of refuse in wrong places contribute hazards to the environment and people living in it. At another meeting with executive members of the Association of Hotel Owners in the state,

Bamisaiye demanded support for the implementation of commercialised waste collection and fumigation of hotels. He explained that the aim is to eradicate illegal dumping of refuse and for pest control in Kwara. He said the time has come for the commercialisation of waste management for effective implementation and more rigorous adherence to the rules on environmental sanitation, which has kept the state clean since 2003 when the government introduced its clean and green programme. The commissioner also explained that the introduction of commercial services in the waste collection sector will help to reduce the incidence of indiscriminate dumping of refuse by unregistered waste collectors who always dump their wastes in unauthorised places.

PROPERTY/ENVIRONMENT The face of Dugbe, the central business district in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, is changing for good, with the erection of the biggest shopping mall in the Southwest by Odu’a Investments Limited. BISI OLADELE reports.

Southwest’s biggest shopping mall to open at Dugbe, Ibadan

HE, ancient city of Ibadan has been angling for modernity in the metropolis in recent years. Yet, Dugbe, the city’s Central Business District, is constantly enjoying renewal. The district, which plays host to branches of several multinationals, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Cocoa House, the GBO/MDS, commercial banks, entrepreneurs, furniture companies, construction as well as service companies, is also a trading hub serving the entire Southwest region. Though the district has been enjoying occasional renewal through erection of new skyscrapers and other corporate structures, the erection of the Heritage Mall and Cocoa Mall is not just set to change the face completely, it is also set to rejuvenate commercial activities in the district. The malls, which are being constructed by Odu’a Investments Limited, will connect each other to make the largest modern shopping mall in Southwest Nigeria. Sitting on an 19,200 square metre land at the centre of the district, the two malls have already gulped about N2 billion. The old Cocoa House extension, which served as the corporate headquarters of the conglomerate, was remodified to give way to the new Cocoa Mall. Both malls are expected to be delivered by the middle of the year. According to the Group Managing Director (GMD) of the conglomerate, Mr Adebayo Jimoh, construction of the mall is part of the investment and re-investment in the real estate sub-sector of the economy by his administration. The company has invested over N5 billion so far on various buildings which he said have become a major

•Dugbe City Central Business, Ibadan, Oyo State

source of income for the company. Jimoh disclosed that the Heritage Mall will have banking halls, branded restaurants, children play area, departmental stores and two ultra-modern cinemas. It would also provide food court, specialised retail shops, fitness gym and provide parking space for over 200 cars. He further disclosed that a leading retail chain in Europe is among the tenants that have already signed for the building. The mall is coming exactly 52 years after the foundation of Cocoa House

which was laid in the same compound by Chief Obafemi Awolowo but was completed by his successor, Chief ladoke Akintola, in 1965 at the cost of 900, 000 pounds sterling. Jimoh said the mall would meet the needs of many company executives who work in Ibadan as well as others who work hard in other cities during the week and come to spend their weekends in Ibadan. According to him, over 90 per cent of multinational institutions and corporate firms have regional offices in Ibadan but that their staff often travel

to Lagos for shopping. Jimoh said the main contractors, Messrs L’Dalberto & Company Limited, which constructed Cocoa House, is constructing the building and would deliver before the middle of the month. Other ongoing building projects by the company in the city include the Almond Court, a residential estate located at the highbrow Ikolaba and the Odu’a Shopping Complex located at Agodi area of the city. The new malls, which can be accessed at Oke-Bola and Bank Road,

will also feature modern facilities found in its kind in the developed world. With the two boundary roads already tarred, it is expected that the high traffic to be triggered by visit of shoppers to the hall after completion will create minimal hiccup for road users and occupants of other buildings in the area. Explaining the reason for the conglomerate’s sudden jump in investments in the real estate sub-sector, Jimoh said the sector offers windows of opportunities to earn good returns on investment as well as offers security on investments. Besides, the GMD said that properties are not easily manipulated by fraudsters, adding that it is an initiative that will sustain and increase the legacy of Chief Obafemi Awolowo. “We have invested and reinvested close to N5 billion in our real estate business. We always learn from mistakes of the past and we also have understood the environment and the growth process. The key growth sector that we identified are the real estate, telecoms, hospitality, agriculture and manufacturing. Our investment in telecoms was misplaced and wrongly done. “If we had done it in another way, we would have been laughing to the bank. You can imagine if in 2003, when we invested so much into telecoms, if we had invested five per cent into MTN. We would have been smiling to the bank. Remember Lagos, Delta and Akwa Ibom states did that and they are happy for it. When I got here I defined the scope and capacity and capabilities of O’dua and I saw that the best way to manage this company is to look for credible private sector participants to partner with us on our subsidiaries,”he said.

Firm launches two products

firm, IKO Shingles, is offering home designers opportunities to build unique and special designs with the launch of two new products - Armour Shield and Skyline. The products combine the best features of durability, impressive look with highly aesthetic finish, resistance to strong wind and full protection against infiltration of water. During the product launch in Lagos, Commercial Country Manager Russia/ Account Manager, Africa, Mr Eddy De Peuter, described the company as a worldwide leading manufacturer and suppliers of many utilising roofing products such as commercial roofing, asphaltic, bituminous waterproof products in various designs and colours. He said the IKO shingles are not only unique and rare but provides, amazing customer support as well. De Peuter said the shingles roofs are used for residential buildings, government offices, with over 50 years guarantee. He said: “IKO Shingles are compatible with any kind of weather, whether in temperate or humid region.” On the characteristics of the shingles, he said that it can go as high as 90 metres with no treat of water infiltration because it is self-adhesive, no bird or mosquito invasion and well insulated. He also said that unlike the normal cretiles in the market that weighs between 40 and 50 square metres with the disadvantages of possible damage during transportation, IKO weighs about nine kilos metres per square metre. He also said there is practically no waste in its installation as whatever

is not used as material is used as ridges by the specilaised skilled installers trained by the company. He revealed that in dangerous weather conditions owners of houses roofed with their shingles have nothing to fear as it cannot be blown away by strong wind or hurricane compared to other roofing materials in the market. He said: “Our products are made of top material, using high technology in our roof engineering techniques. Our product is the best choice for people who are seeking low maintenance with long lasting roofing material.” On its ecological friendliness, he said that it can used in rain water harvesting and so can be used for domestic purposes and in the garden as against asbestos which has been known to be harmful to public health. He encouraged prospective home owners to spend wisely by patronising the various types and shades of bitumen manufactured by the company, stressing that it would money spent wisely with great combination of beauty, style and durability. The sole agent for IKO roofing product in Nigeria, and Chief Executive Officer of 7 Stars Manufacturing Ltd, Mr Hyman Okay Ilonze said they have been around since October 2009 and praised their clients for putting their trust in them at the teething stage of the product introduction. He said the product uniqueness, flexibility, quality and cost advantage has given them an edge over other products. He called on the public to resist the temptation of buying cheap and sub-standard roofing materials in their quest to save money.

•Ilonze and De Peuter, at the product launch

According to him, they will always discover that the money they allegedly set to save will be lost in no distant future as most of the roofing products with Asian origin cannot

stand the test of time. He disclosed that the product suits all weather types as it has been extensively used by governments in the South south region, South east,

How passage of Fly Nigeria Act will benefit aviation, by experts

XPERTS have called for the speedy passage of the Fly Nigeria Bill being proposed by some industry players as one of the steps to be taken by the government to enhance the capacity of indigenous airline operators, which have a paltry five per cent share of international passenger traffic. At a forum in Lagos, former House of Representatives Committee on Aviation Chairman Bethel Amadi, the Head of Marketing, Arik Air, Mr Lanre Bamgbose and Mr Olu Ohunayo said until the bill, which was recently sent to the National Assembly, is passed, issues related to how to improve the operational capacity of carriers will not attain front burner status. They noted that with the passage of the bill, its full implementation will assist indigenous carriers to have better passenger traffic. The bill seeks to ensure that all government officials, contractors and others who do business with the Federal Government fly only domestic carri-

ers to enhance their revenue base. Amadi, who chaired the stakeholders forum on the Bill, explained that as it was done in the United States many decades ago, there is the need for the Federal Government to put in place protectionist policies that will enable domestic carriers to stave off the competition of mega carriers from Europe, Asia and America, which only interest is to rake in money from the aviation industry. He said with the right policies in place, the government will put its feet down by ensuring that its officials only fly Nigerian carriers, which are expected to raise their service levels instead of creating wealth for foreign carriers. Amadi said one of the ways to achieve this is to create a caveat that will make provision for signing of interline and code share agreements on routes that indigenous carriers do not fly, to in-

crease revenues for the airlines. Also speaking, while setting the tone for the stakeholders’ meeting, Mrs Bisi Akodu of Olisa Agbakoba Chambers, sponsors of the bill, said there is no going back on the need to expedite action on the passage of the bill, because when fully implemented, airlines including Arik Air, Air Nigeria and others will have the opportunity to improve their operational capacity, by having more revenues from flying government officials, thereby putting them on a firm pedestal to compete with their foreign counterparts. She said the bill will assist to grow the economy, reduce capital flight by foreign carriers, as well as create a solid platform for indigeneous carriers to grow. She explained that without such legislative framework, which is achievable with the bill, it will be difficult to support Nigerian carriers, which have been shortchanged with the lopsided bilateral air services agreement that the Federal Government signed with many countries.

Lawmaker flays airport remodelling strategy PLANS by the Federal Government to remodel 12 of the 22 airports has been faulted by the former House of Representatives Committee Chairman on Aviation, Bethel Amadi. He said fixing the four international airports as regional hubs will be better than fixing too many terminals at a time without completion. Amadi, who spoke during an interview with The Nation, said the budget proposal for the aviation sector for capital projects is insufficient for the volume of work that the Minister of Aviation , Princess Stella Oduah, is set to complete. He argued that giving priority to remodelling at the terminals at the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Akanu Ibiam International Airport and the Port Harcourt International Airport, as hubs for the geo-political zones would have made more sense than embarking on the building of a brand new terminal for the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano, which would require about N11 billion. He explained that the government should rework the cost of aviation projects, which, he said, is too high, when compared to what is charged by other countries for similar airport projects. Amadi cited the cost of the conference centre built for African Union in Addis Ababa, by the Chinese government for about $200 million, housing a 17-storey complex with 2,500 seating capacity, as opposed to the huge cost fixed for the controversial Abuja Airport second runway, which was abandoned by the Federal Government due to alleged over costing and blackmail of the National Assembly members who opposed the project. He alleged that the cost for the Abuja Airport runway was 20 per cent higher that what it would cost it to build it in other countries. He cited the instance of the Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa , that was built in 2003 with a state- of - the - art terminal and runway for $256 million. Amadi said there is no reason why the Federal Government should not be able to build another five storey terminal with a single runway for the Abuja Airport without exceeding $300 million before the end of 2013.

Pupil wins in Lufthansa competition MISS Nneoma Ike-Njoku of Loyola Jesuit College in Abuja has won the essay competition organised by German Lufthansa Airlines, as part of its 50th anniversary of flying between Nigeria and Germany.

Why airlines must respond to cyber threats, by IATA A IRLINES must respond to cyber threats and ensure the security of all forms of electronic data exchange, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) has said. Airlines are doing everything to address credit card fraud and to comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS), developed in 2006 by major international payment schemes to provide protection to their cardholders. Any organisation that processes, stores or transmits cardholder data is required to comply with these standards. Further work on the issue will push matters even more. In particular, there is a need to assist airlines that have less experience of online sales. These tend to suffer from the highest rates of fraud as a percentage of sales. Low-fare airlines have the lowest rates of fraud, probably because of their online savvy and increased awareness that every cent counts. IATA does not collect statistics on online fraud, but is active in this area. It has developed the Perseuss program, which offers a secure platform where airlines can legally share information about known fraudulent activity. The data can be matched with airline sales data, such as e-mail addresses or IP ad-

dresses, to identify suspect transactions. Perseuss is a subscription service, and more than 60 airlines are now involved to various degrees. “Some airlines have recouped the annual cost of Perseuss in just a few months,” says Christophe Kato, IATA’s Project Manager for the Perseuss program. “We don’t offer this service to make a profit. The value is to the community of users, and what they can bring to the table through their meetings and new relationships.” IATA has also developed its own PCI-DSS programme, which secures and protects BSP sales via agencies. Whenever a credit card is used, airlines must ensure their systems are in line with PCI-DSS. “IATA plays a significant role in trying to prevent cyber credit card crime,” says Kato. “Ensuring that PCI-DSS is correctly implemented means the risk can be passed from the airline to the merchant.” Detecting fraud is another important area. Some airlines use automated systems to do this; others tend to do larger numbers of manual checks. “It is really a question of trying to spot anything that is suspicious,” says Kato. “It is not an exact science. Some airlines

have in-house fraud analysts, while others outsource to specialist companies. Risk scores can be applied to each transaction, and those with the largest risk scores can then be given manual checks.” Losing money is one thing; losing lives is something else again. Cyber terrorism poses especially serious challenges for airlines that will be taking delivery of the new generation of aircraft. In some cases, it may even require airlines to rethink the structure of their security and IT divisions. The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) has identified cyber terrorism as a distinct threat to the aviation industry that needs attention. On November 17, 2010, a new ICAO Recommended Practice related to cyber threats was adopted and became applicable on July 1, last year. It suggests that each ICAO Contracting State should develop measures to protect information and communication technology systems used for civil aviation purposes from interference that could jeopardise the safety of civil aviation. Vulnerability assessments relating to cyber security are recommended, with the objective of evaluating the efficiency of mitigation measures and identifying vulnerabilities from a threat-based perspective.

THE Aviation Training Academy (ATA) of South Africa’s Air Traffic and Navigation Services (ATNS) has been presented with the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) Top Regional Training Partner award as the best IATA partner training centre in the world last year. “IATA has partnerships with 20 regional training centres around the world,” said IATA Regional Director for Safety Operations and Infrastructure, Gaoussou Konate. “There is one other in Africa – in Nigeria. This is very important. We do civil aviation training. This gives us opportunities to staff civil aviation in Africa and to get IATA-standard training in Africa. “ south, and includes Arabian peninsula countries Saudi Arabia and Yemen. “When pilots lodge their flight plans, they go through these networks,” “And ATCs use the same networks to coordinate with each other, Konate At the ceremony, ATNS Chief Executive Officer Patrick Dlamini thanked IATA for helping ATA to “become the best in the world”. He lauded ATA for doing “a sterling job” and affirmed that “we can make South Africa proud”. ATNS board member Mantuka Maisela emphasised that “ATNS through its ATA is committed to upholding aviation safety standards. The academy utilises computer-aided training, radar simulators, 3D (three dimensional) simulators, to the highest industry standards. This academy has produced the best results in the world.”

EU bans four more airlines THE European Union has placed airlines from the Philippines, Honduras and the two Congos on its blacklist of carriers forbidden from flying in the 27-nation bloc. Aeromajestic and Interisland Airlines, a Filipino company, Stellar Airways from the Democratic Republic of Congo and Equatorial Congo from the Republic of Congo, were banned because they failed to provide evidence that they comply with international safety standards. Honduran carrier Rollins Air was placed on the list after France raised concerns about the airline’s safety, the European Commission said. The EU’s executive arm also slapped restrictions on Jordan Aviation, barring three Boeing 767s operated by the Jordanian airline from using European airspace. “Safety comes first. We cannot afford any compromise in this area,” said EU transport commissioner Siim Kallas. “Where we have evidence inside or outside the European Union that air carriers are not performing safe operations we must act to exclude any risks to safety,” he said.

Shell chief harps on investor friendly policies

HE Anglo-Dutch Shell has advised the Federal Government on the need to make policies that would attract investors into the country’s oil and gas to harness the abundant oil and gas resources. The Executive Vice-President, SubSaharan Africa, Shell Exploration and Production Africa Limited, Mr. Ian Craig stressed the hitches and economic advantages of establishing policies that tend to repel foreign investment. Craig, who spoke at the Nigeria Oil and Gas conference in Abuja, cited how investor unfriendly policies negatively affected the North Sea assets in the United Kingdom. He said that oil companies including Shell is not risk averse, therefore, oil companies make every effort to minimise the potential impact. So, before we drill in new frontiers we use every available technology and international expertise to improve our chances of success. And before we sink billions of dollars into projects that may take a decade to return the capital, we try to ensure that the necessary fiscal, legal and political structures are in place. The Shell boss might be making reference to the government to make the contentious provisions in the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) to be also favourable to the operator companies. He said: “We are however, in a long term business so we sometimes find ourselves caught up in large scale socio/political upheaval as we have seen last year.

Stories by Emeka Ugwuanyi Assistant Editor

Less obviously, we occasionally have to deal with policy changes in what may be considered the most stable of regimes – such as the introduction of increased Petroleum Revenue Tax in the UK last year.” The noted that the impact of that tax change on the UK industry has been severe and investment earmarked for projects that were considered likely to go ahead fell by 30 percent and exploration activity, the lifeblood of the industry also fell markedly with production falling by over 15 percent due, at least in part, to the tax increase. He highlighted the need for operators to live with a degree of uncertainty. A fair balance between risk and reward for the oil company and the host nation should therefore address the inherent uncertainties associated with the investment; he added citing the type of risk that evolves as the exploration basin matures. According to him, in the early frontier phase, geological or new technology development risk may prevail but in the mature phase the challenge may be the high cost of maintaining ageing infrastructure and relatively small new prospects. He said: “The UK’s North Sea used to be the ultimate technology

frontier but is now a mature oil and gas province. Indeed, Shell’s Brent Field, which is synonymous with the UK industry, is due to be decommissioned in the near future. “The early years were dominated by the major oil companies who had the resources, both technical and financial, to take on such challenges. The UK North Sea will go on producing for a good while yet, provided investment levels can be maintained, but increasingly it is new, smaller players who are stepping in. The limited remaining growth prospects and the now mature technology have changed the competitive landscape in

favour of the smaller companies.” He said Nigeria too can be regarded as a mature province in some regards. Fifty years of onshore oil production must surely classify this sector as mature and indeed we now see growing involvement of new smaller players. Substantial oil reserves remain onshore but there are non-technical challenges to deal with. The militancy which crippled onshore production from 2005 to 2009 has abated but staggering levels of theft and criminality prevail. He noted that the Nigerian industry moved into shallow water relatively early in its development. The higher costs of offshore

production were offset by larger field sizes and a smaller, more secure footprint. For the last 20 years or so most of Nigeria’s oil production has been from shallow water but this too is maturing and substantial investment is needed to maintain or grow production. “We have the deepwater province and we tend to think of this as a recent development but it was the high risk exploration and development investments made back in the nineties which led to the projects that delivered Nigeria’s first deepwater oil in 2005. “The timing was fortuitous as the subsequent ramp up in deepwater production compensated for the steep fall in onshore production caused by the activities of the militants in the latter half of the last decade.

Gas, major challenge to power generation, says Minister HE Minister of Power, Prof. Barth Nnaji, has said gas had always been a major challenge to driving the power generation in the country. Nnaji made this known at the just concluded 2012 Nigeria Oil and Gas conference in Abuja The minister said that the country’s current power generation stood at 4,400 megawatts (MW), adding that although there has been delay in the reform programme but the entire exercise would be concluded by the fourth quarter of 2012. He said: “We are currently experiencing delay of about two months in the power transformation, but it is expected to be completed by fourth quarter of this year. The process has resulted in expression of interests from companies and we have showed listening ears to them. A lot of companies have shown good intentions to bid for the succession companies. Evaluation and negotiations will commence in July 2012.” The minister noted that besides the labour issue, lack of adequate gas supply to power plants constitutes a major challenge. “Gas has been a major challenge to power supply in the country. Give me gas and I promise you more power. The Vision 20:2020 to achieve 40,000MW in other to meet up with other developed countries is being vigorously pursued. You cannot grow power stations without gas,” he added.

Nnaji, however, assured that on completion of the entire transformation exercise, no worker would lose his job because the prospective investors would need them to do the right thing. “The investors cannot do it alone; they need experienced workers to achieve excellence, it is the labour union that perceived they will be sacked. “Workers will be paid off.They will be given temporary appointment until the investors freely take those who are capable and give them permanent employment,” minister explained. He stated that the workers have nothing to lose and the temporary employment would last for six to nine months. He assured Nigerians that Olorunsogo gas pipeline network will be completed by April, adding that some power stations challenges have nothing to do with gas but the issue of transmission constraints. The minister said for Nigerians to get effective and constant power supply, there is need for increase in the electricity tariff, adding that there are strong indications that the current tariff charged by the Nigerian electricity Regulation Commission (NERC) would be increased. He said that the current dwindling fortune being experienced in the power sector is due the inability of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) to pay its bills, hence, there is need to increase target.

Content Board to focus on asset ownership, components manufacturing

HE Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) has said it would begin to focus on components manufacturing, asset ownership and training, among others, with a view to increasing in-country value creation. The Executive Secretary of the Board, Mr Ernest Nwapa, disclosed this when he received his award of the Nigerian Oil & Gas Man of the Year 2011 conferred on him by the Oil & Gas Year, a Global Energy Journal at a ceremony in Abuja. But despite the accolades showered on the Board, Nwapa said there were still challenges and many things the Board needed to achieve. He said some of these challenges include the marine sector, where the Board’s successes are still limited to the service vessels. Nwapa said the Board would begin to focus on the big vessels that carry crude oil as well as components manufacturing, geology, asset ownership, bringing training

back into the country so that huge funds spent on training people abroad would be extended to deserving multiple beneficiaries in Nigeria. He said: “We want to make sure that we manufacture things in Nigeria, so that even when Nigerian contractors get work, they do not just take the money and go abroad to buy goods and services. If we can work assiduously in the next one year, these changes will become as evident as the areas we have worked on. “Two years ago, we were talking about fabrication, engineering. You hardly hear us talking about those areas now because all we have to do is to create capacity and everybody understands that we have the capability to do fabrication here.” On why the Board had not sanctioned companies that failed to comply with provisions of the Nigerian Content Act, the Executive Secretary explained that the Board

had successfully used persuasion, collaboration, advocacy and teaching to achieve success in implementation. “Each time we come to the point where we threaten sanctions, we have had reversals. When we had a failure and we try to correct it and the people get into the right lane, you do not worry about sending them to jail or getting them to pay a fine. We are not interested in raising money from wrong behaviour, rather we are interested in correcting the behaviour.” Speaking at the event, the Country Director of the Oil & Gas Year, Ms Loana Ocneriu, explained that Nwapa was selected as the top performer in the Nigerian Oil & Gas industry in 2011 by a wide spectrum of stakeholders interviewed by the editorial team of the company. Ocneriu said: “In 2010 the Federal Government took a leap for•Continued on

Association moves to deepen LPG consumption

• Austen Oniwon

HE Nigeria Liquefied Petroleum Gas Association (NLPGA) has begun preparation to substantially increase incountry consumption of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) commonly called cooking. The association expressed disenchantment over the poor consumption level of the commodity in Ni-

geria and the use of kerosene, charcoal and firewood in most Nigerian homes. To achieve the drive for increased switch over to cooking gas by Nigerians, the association said it is planning to embark on importation of various sizes of affordable gas cylinders and associated accessories to create an opportunity for everyone to be able to afford one size of cylinder. If we make these accessories affordable, certainly it would enhance level of consumption of the commodity, the association said. The President of NLPGA, Alhaji Auwulu Ilu, in a chat with reporters in Lagos, said what would entice Nigerians to using cooking gas as against other fuels such as kerosene, firewood and charcoal remains in making available gas cylinders of different sizes. Ilu said what has been militating against use of LPG, and make the commodity look elitist in the country is the un-affordability of the start up equipment such cylinders and other accessories. Some

of these are the reasons LPG use seems limited to the rich and middle class in the country. We are encouraging members to begin mass importation of cylinders of all sizes and other accessories to make the price affordable. Ilu, however, commended the management of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and Oando Plc for their efforts toward promoting consumption of LPG in the country. Oando has placed an order for the importation of 500,000 gas cylinders while the Group Managing Director of NNPC, Mr Austin Oniwon, said the corporation has plans underway to promote use of LPG to dissuade Nigerians from use of kerosene. He also commended the efforts of the Lagos State Government for planning an LPG programme in the state to address the environmental health and other social issues.

Content Board to focus on asset ownership, components manufacturing Nwapa said he was delighted that •Continued from page 25 ward, making the Nigerian Content Development Act a reality. Nwapa and his team at the NCDMB have collaborated with companies and coerced the less willing into training and employing Nigerians and using local resources for projects. “After wide ranging discussions with interviewees and our partners, we were in no doubt of Nwapa and the board’s excellent contribution to this nation and its oil and gas industry. We are delighted, therefore, to be here today to launch our book and present Ernest Nwapa with our Man of the Year award.” In his acceptance speech, Nwapa described the award as further validation of the implementation model adopted by the Board, which is creating value, building the confidence of stakeholders and setting good examples for Nigerians. He said the award made it imperative for the Board to continue its work with greater vigour. “It is important that the stakeholders you work for, appreciate the little efforts you make. One has been very lucky to have the support of the Minister of Petroleum Resources and a very knowledgeable team. “This Board measures its success with the work that other people do. And we recognise that no matter how hard we push, if we do not

convince stakeholders that what we are promoting is value driven, it will be difficult to achieve results.” Nwapa noted that the Nigerian Oil & Gas Man of the Year 2011 was the first award he would receive since assuming office as Executive Secretary of NCDMB, having taken decision that he would not accept medals until the Board started to record tangible achievements and dedicated the award to his family. Kupulokun appointed Nwapa the pioneer Nigerian Content Coordinator in NNPC in 2004, after he (Nwapa) emerged the overall best in the Chief Officers Management Development Programme (Course 029) of the NNPC in December 2003. Nwapa explained that the philosophy and effect of the Content Law were being felt in several linkage sectors, hence the clamour for the Local Content Act to be extended to other sectors of the economy. He said: “The House of Representatives set up a local content committee that is not restricted to the oil and gas industry. We are discussing with them on how to template what we are doing and extend their oversight beyond the oil and gas industry. I am also aware that the Minister of Petroleum Resources is also discussing with her cabinet colleagues on how to replicate the impact of the law in other sectors.”

some industry stakeholders who initially resisted the ideas of Nigerian Content are now becoming champions of the implementation. Speaking at the event, representatives of the Petroleum Technology Association of Nigeria (PETAN) and other service companies hailed the contribution of Nwapa to the development of the industry. The Executive Director, Jagal Group, Mr Manssour Jarmakani, commended Nwapa on the award, noting that the impact of Nigerian Content Act in the past one year had been tremendous. “Under the stewardship of Nwapa, we have seen a massive increase in investment and capacity building across Nigeria, despite the issues relating to the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB). It is the current foundation, which every company in Nigeria is building on. In Nigerdock, I am pleased to be part of several projects that we got as a result of the Nigerian Content Act and Nwapa’s commitment to Nigerian Content.” The Secretary General of PETAN, Mr. Emeka Ene also noted that Nwapa supported Nigerian service companies even when they were not taken seriously by the operators. Ene said: “The industry has grown and this award is well deserved. You need to have seen the industry in the last 50 years before 2001. Local Content growth was below five per cent, but since 2001, we have had a phenomenal and significant growth.”

He said: “The Lagos State Government is working on a comprehensive cylinder and LPG development scheme that will convert the people at the lower cadre of the society from the traditional energy source, that is, charcoal and kerosene to LPG. The state government has set up committees that are working in collaboration with the local governments and the local council development areas (LCDAs). I think they will start the pilot scheme at two local governments to see how it is going to work. “Oando is also trying to inject about 500,000 cylinders, particularly the 3.5kg, which is the smallest of the cylinder, into the market. Also as an association, we have set up a committee to come up with the pilot scheme. We have always waited for the Federal Government to come in and see how we can have a massive cylinder scheme, but since there is nothing concrete coming so far, we intend to start a pilot scheme so that we can do something at our own level and be able to show to the Federal Government this is what we have done and together with them, we can do better than that.” Ilu said in the next one month, there would be a comprehensive plan on the pilot scheme that is intended to promote LPG consumption in Lagos from where it would be expanded to other states. On the recent rise in the price of LPG, Ilu explained it was seasonal and noted it would come down soon. “Anytime it is winter, December and January, price changes. That is when you have price peak. There is no subsidy in LPG. This year the cold is very severe in the UK. It is freezing and because LPG is used extensively for heating, the price may extend to March. The international price of the commodity is also high. As from April or May, the price will begin to

come down. On government’s plan to remove duty on importation of LPG equipment and other accessories, Ilu said: “We are waiting for the new tariff to come out. We expect the government to make the same pronouncement, which they did in the power and agriculture sectors; that importers of equipment and appliances enjoy zero duty. We expected that LPG would be given the same consideration, but I have not lost hope. We are waiting for the general tariff to come out and I am confident that it may be among those that will be reduced. “By the time they remove the duty and VAT, 42 per cent would have been removed, which is substantial. So, cylinders that currently sell for N8,000 in the market will come down to N5,000 or N3,000. This is substantial reduction and if you add up the regulator, cooker and others, the start up cost will come down by about 42 per cent which will attract new entrants. “Now, those using LPG are the middle class. The majority of those in the rural areas still use firewood and kerosene. I know kerosene is more expensive than LPG but because people buy kerosene in small quantities on daily basis with small amount, they prefer kerosene. For instance, with about N500 you can start using kerosene stove. But at the end LPG is cheaper because if you buy 12.5kg for an average family, it can last you one month. “But for kerosene, an average family needs about N7,000 a month. If they spend N100 per day, they will not feel it, but for LPG, you need to buy a minimum of 12.5kg and that is why we are advocating the introduction of 6 kg and 3kg so that people can buy for one week instead of for a whole month. Just like you have recharge card, N200 recharge card, and even N100, instead of having only the one of N1,500.”

Total, ExxonMobil, Chevron hail first oil from Usan field

HE shareholders of one of Nigeria’s deepwater mega oil fields, Usan field, Total, ExxonMobil, Chevron and Nexen are celebrating the first oil from the field, which is expected to produce 180,000 barrels of oil per day. Discovered in 2002, the Usan field is located in Oil Mining Lease (OML) 138 in water depths of between 750 and 800 metres, and approximately 62 miles about 100 km off Nigerian coast, south east of Port Harcourt, Rivers State. Total Exploration and Production (E&P) Nigeria Limited holds 20 per cent interest in the asset and is the operator of the filed, Esso Exploration and Production Nigeria (Offshore East) Limited, a subsidiary of ExxonMobil holds 30 per cent interest, Chevron Nigeria Limited holds 30 per cent interest and Nexen Petroleum Nigeria Limited holds 20 per cent interest. Commenting on the development, Chevron’s Vice-Chairman, George Kirkland, said: “Usan represents an important milestone in progressing Chevrons queue of major capital projects. The project demonstrates our growth in West Africa, which is a leading global resource basin.” Usan is Chevron’s second deepwater project in Nigeria after Agbami, which achieved first oil in 2008, and is currently producing approximately 240,000 barrels of crude oil per day. Chevron holds a 67.3 percent interest in it and is the operator of the Agbami project. Commenting, the President,

ExxonMobil Development Company, Neil Duffin, said: “This project represents another major achievement of the industry and Nigerians working together to develop the country’s resources. Usan is providing significant benefits including revenues, employment and opportunities for local suppliers.” ExxonMobil is active in both shallow water shelf and deepwater acreage offshore Nigeria. In the deepwater ExxonMobil has interests in seven blocks, operates the producing Erha and Erha North fields and also produces from the co-venturer operated Bonga field. The floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel that would produce the Usan field arrived on site on the July 31, 2011 after three months of being towed from Ulsan, South Korea. The FPSO is planned for the production of first oil from the field in January but the first came on Friday. The Usan project is a showpiece of Nigerian Content development with more than 11 million manhours of engineering, fabrication, assembly and offshore integration of equipment being performed in Nigeria. Managing Director of Total Upstream Companies in Nigeria, Mr Guy Maurice, had said that barring unforeseen circumstances, Total and its partners will in January 2012, pump the first oil from the Usan field. The oil field will be producing 180,000 barrels of oil per day (bpd) • Continued on page 27

Shell anchors Nigeria, India business summit

HE Shell Petrleum De velopment Company (SPDC) has organised a meeting that brought together more than 50 Indian and Nigerian companies to explore areas of collaboration and partnership. About 10 Indian business firms took part in the business summit, which held in Abuja, setting the stage for joint ventures that would create more opportunities in the volume of trade between India and Nigeria

now worth about $9billion yearly. The Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board, Mr Ernest Nwapa, at the opening ceremony said the business summit is a welcome opportunity to help drive new partnerships. He said: “The growth recorded in the Nigerian economy has not resulted in employment opportunities, so we’re looking for partners to set up manufacturing

bases in Nigeria, thereby creating jobs and developing talent and technology. SPDC has done well in providing the connection – last year, it was China, now it is India.” The General Manager, Materials, NAPIMS, Mr Hussaini Tahir, corroborated Nwapa and outlined the opportunities in the oil and gas sector in Nigeria. He said: “The fundamentals are right at this time because, in addition to the huge resource base of oil and gas,

investors can expect to benefit from ambitious reform programmes and tax incentives and the presence of a large workforce.” The General Manager, Nigerian Content Development, Shell Companies in Nigeria, Igo Weli, said: “India and Nigeria have a lot in common and we believe both countries will benefit from increased trade and cooperation especially in the oil and gas sector. SPDC is happy to provide the platform.” Representatives of the Nigerian Investment Promotion Council and the Petroleum Technology Association of Nigeria – a group of indigenous contractors involved in the oil and gas sector also made presentations. The Indian companies that participated included leading manufacturers of carbon steel, alloy steel and stainless steel forgings, valves and well completion equipment. Last year, SPDC linked

up Nigerian companies with their Chinese and United Kingdom counterparts in a series of business summits in Abuja and Aberdeen. Also last year, SPDC organised several vendor development sessions in Port Harcourt for nearly 300 Niger Deltabased contractors. Every year, SPDC awards contracts worth billions of Naira to Nigerian companies and community contractors. All dredging projects in SPDC operations are now reserved exclusively for Nigerian contractors, 60 percent of whom are from the Niger Delta. SPDC also promotes the use of locally manufactured goods and Nigerian service companies in production operations, projects and well engineering. Shell companies in Nigeria were awarded a prize for Excellence in Nigerian Content Development at the just-concluded Nigeria oil and gas conference in Abuja.

the oil and gas sector in the last one year. Oniwon said the companies that got awards have done so well in the sector over time. He noted that all the award recipient companies merited the awards given to them because they were based on their active roles in upstream, midstream and downstream, among other sectors of the oil and gas industry. “The award is in need a well-deserved one based on the company’s significant impact in the oil and gas sector,” he added. Oniwon applauded the organisers of the 2012 Nigeria Oil and Gas and the effective role they play in the oil and gas industry in Nigeria, adding that this year conference was unique in various areas. “NNPC will continue to support the conference and sponsor the gala night because this is the only avenue experts, stakeholders and engineers meet to discuss issues affecting the sector. “We use this medium to appeal for better participation in the subsequent years to come to develop the oil and gas industry,” he said. The Senior Associate CWC Group, and Chairman of 2012 (NOG) conference Dr. Alirio Parra, lauded the impressive multinational investment of Oando Plc both in Nigeria and international. Parra said Oando’s leadership position as Nigeria’s foremost integrated energy company, which is associated with successful achievement in all its subsidiaries across the entire energy chain, is commendable. Parra said Oando is Nigeria’s leading energy group and African upcoming oil major with various divisions in marketing, supply and trading, gas and power, energy services, exploration and production more so in refining, has done so much in developing the sector. “Oando is a home grown company that has an international standard, which has been in the vanguard of operation for years. We want to use this medium to commend the efforts of Oando and we urge them to put more strength in their business in other to achieve better results come NOG 2013.”

for 25 years while associated gas from the field would be reinjected. Usan project is designed to attain first oil within four years from the date drilling began on the field and is planned to take a $2 billion investment annually, which supposed to be a total of $8 billion. Although the field was discovered in February

2002, actual drilling began in June 2009 from where the company set a period of four years to achieve first oil. The project, according to Total, would have numerous economic gains including increased revenues and reserves base for the shareholders and the government. Usan is Total’s second deepwater development in Nigeria after Akpo, which began production in March, 2009. Maurice said: “The Usan

project is a production sharing contract (PSC) with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) as concessionaire. The field will come on stream in 2012, and will produce 180,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day at peak production and expected to produce for 25 years.

The calls for a National Conference to discuss the challenges facing the Nigerian State received a boost last weekend when the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), which met in Akure, Ondo State, supported the idea to resolve the problems plaguing the country. Legal Editor JOHN AUSTIN UNACHUKWU was there.

Why lawyers back T calls for National Conference

HE state of the nation is always a perma nent item on the NBA NEC meeting agenda. Under it, the Bar always takes a critical appraisal and stock of events in the country. At its Akure NEC meeting, which ended at the weekend, the lawyer’s association noted that there is an urgent and imperative need for a conference of all ethnic nationalities to discuss the multiple problems, issues and challenges confronting the Nigerian State. The Bar noted that such issues, if not carefully and properly addressed at a conference of all eth-

nic nationalities, are capable of undermining the unity, security, safety of lives and property in the country. In a chat with The Nation, the NBA President, Joseph Bodunrin Daudu (SAN), said: “Yes, I support the NEC decision and I am bound by it. The country appears to be confused about its future direction, and there is the need to straighten out some vital issues such as the basis of our relationship.” •See story on page 62

LAW COVER CONT’D

Why lawyers back calls for National Conference • Continued from page 61 Daudu added: “A situation where some Nigerians seem not to be welcome in other parts of the country must be sorted out because we want every Nigerian to feel at home wherever he is and the rules must be made clear.” “We must come together to discuss such simple things as the issue of security, the issue of sharing the national revenue, the sharing formular has to be agreed on; the issue of eradicating corruption, the issue of the geographical boundaries in the country, to know whether we are going to operate on regional basis or a confederation or, incidentally, merge some of the states together, because it is obvious that the cost of governance is too strenuous on the resources of this country. “We have 36 states, 774 Local Government Areas, that is just too many and it is making the execution of capital projects virtually impossible. “If the National Assembly cannot sit and address these issues, let’s get Nigerians who want to address it to do so. The National Assembly appears unwilling to discuss these issues because of course, they are comfortable with the arrangement, it suits them, they want the status quo to be maintained, but the majority of Nigerians do not want the status quo to remain and therefore we don’t want to wait until there is anarchy, because now there is some form of gorilla tactics, it has degenerated into terrorism, we don’t want it to go beyond that. “Let us sit down and make simple readjustment to the basis of our coexistence and we move from there.”

THE First Vice-President of the NBA, Mr Blessing Enumona Ukiri, said: “The conference is long overdue. First and foremost, we all agree that the Nigerian project is sick, that all is not well with the nation called Nigeria. Why are we afraid to sit down and talk about it? “Let us sit down, discuss, agree and disagree, take everybody’s views, whatever you have in mind, come let us hear it. “Everything, from the nature of the Federal system we are practising to the revenue allocation formular, to even our interpersonal relationships. In some states of the Federation, non-indigens are not safe, at the slightest provocation they are easily molested, attacked and in some cases killed. “They are daily made uncomfortable and reminded that they are strangers, that they are not from that part of the country. They should not own property, they should not prosper. So, you see them living in agony in their own country. Their prosperity is limited because it is determined by how receptive the indigenes are to them. “There is an urgent and imperative need for a conference, whether you call it a Sovereign National Conference, National Conference or extended Town Hall Meeting. Let us come together, let us reason together, you hear many own side and I hear your own side of the story, and we adopt the superior argument. It would be better for us rather than everybody sstomaching dissent and grumble. You stomach it and then transfer that anger into criminality and various forms of so-

cial ills. This cannot move the country forward, so let us sit down and talk,” Ukiri stated.

THE Chairman, National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), Prof Chidi Odinkalu, said: “I am a member of NEC and I am bound by the decisions of NEC. I will not depart from what NEC has decided. “Nigerians have a right to talk and, in my view, in certain circumstances they have an obligation to talk. “I am not so sure that calling it a Sovereign Conference is of much importance because you cannot split sovereignty and a sovereign conference under our current constitutional process is a Constitution and legal impossibility. Because those who have office can resign, but they cannot abdicate the Constitution and no one person embodies the Constitution. So, because of that, I don’t think it is legally possible to have a Sovereign National Conference. “But should Nigerians talk and enjoy the benefit of talking, yes. Will it be easy to decide how participation and representation at such a meeting would be? No! I don’t think it will be easy but I think that there is going to be a mechanism for Nigerians to talk while co-existing with the institutions of government and seeing the outcome of such conference would then go into decision making and a voluntary process of decision making. “One more thing is that I don’t think that it is going to be a one-off thing. I don’t think it is going to be a one-off process of talking. The talking should be a time device. We should continue talking and have a mechanism by which the things we haven’t resolved, which are a national problem, shall continue to be a subject of dialogue among all the stakeholders in Nigeria. Hopefully, over time, with the benefit of experience, we can find solutions to them.”

our system of governance, examine the presidential system of government and find out whether it is suitable for a developing country like ours. We must find out who gets what, from where? That is what the national conference is all about. “For the national question to be resolved, it is not about which ethnic group should control power for the members of the bourgeoise, it is how to ensure that power is exercised to address the problems of underdevelopment, of poverty, of injustice, of security in our country. For those reasons, I support the national conference.

HAJIYA Fatima Kwaku said: “To be honest with you, when they started the agitation, men, women, North, South etc, I was not happy. But let us give them a chance. The NEC has decided, so, anybody opposing it will look like he or she has a hidden agenda. Let it be, let the conference hold, whatever will happen, will definitely happen. But personally, I have my own reservations, however, I am bound by NEC decisions. “There is a lot of outcry for it so, let it be.”

M. U. Ibrahim. Jam Jam said: “I advocated that we should go confederal or to put it properly, that everyone should go his own way. We love this country very well. I can only then live in Lagos as an alien, but the people will welcome me there. Why are we afraid of this? If need be, let us break up.”

LAGOS lawyer and civil society activist, Femi Falana said: “This is a highly commendable decision on the part of the NBA. As lawyers, we must support the fundamental right of Nigerians to assemble peacefully and discuss all matters, engage issues of national importance and no moment is more timely for this than now, when the ship of state is drifting, when insecurity is the order of the day, when poverty is assuming a disturbing dimension. “Going by the figures just released by the National Bureau of Statistics, about 112 million citizens have fallen into the poverty level in Nigeria. This is the class of people who live on less than N300 a day. “When a nation gets to such a critical stage, we must come together and look at the structure of the federation, the nature of

PRESIDENT, Muslim Lawyer Association of Nigeria (MULAN) and Bencher, Alhaji Tajudeen Oladoja, said: “As a member of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), particularly a senior one for that matter, being a member of the Body of Benchers, I am bound by the

resolution of the NBA. “There is need for Nigerians to sit down and discuss the future. Therefore, what we are saying in essence is that the existing federation of Nigeria is lopsided, is corrupt in every sense of it and that is why see divergent problems, issues and problems arising from different parts of the country. So sitting down to discuss our points of disagreement, is noble, it means that we don’t want to fight, we don’t want the country to break into pieces, Nigerians should consider the call as a genuine one’ ‘If we want the country to break into pieces. There would not be a call for dialogue, a call for a conference of all the nationalities to resolve our differences’ “The call for a national conference is akin to arbitration, which the legal profession is embracing. Let every person from different parts of the country come to the conference table and let us chart a way forward. “Look at the issue of state police. I am in support of the creation of state police. Is there any state in Nigeria today that does not give one form of assistance to the Nigeria police force or the other, by way of creating one security organisation or another. ‘In Kaduna State where I practice Law, there is Operation Yarki, which is a security outfit manned by the police and other security agencies funded by the Kaduna State government. We have a similar one in Lagos State, the Rapid Response Squad (RRS); there is one in Plateau State and all over the country’. “State governments now buy patrol, armoured vehicles for the police. That is real. It shows that security is no longer a thing which the Federal Government can handle alone. Let states have their police, though there may be abuses, the abuses may be checkmated through appropriate legal frame works. Let us sit down and discuss all these things.’’ ‘’ We should not wait for so long for these issues to be resolved. Let us meet and resolve them now. “I am in support of the conference, give it any name you like, but allow the people meet, discuss and chart the way forward’’. ‘’We want to have a resolution on how the country is governed. Let us have frank discussions so that we can save ourselves and future general from destruction.’’

CHIEF Linus M. E. Ezeofor, a Bencher said: “I strongly believe that there is a need for us to hold a conference to know how we really stand because you see, the way things are happening in Nigeria now do not portend good for us as a country. Let us really decide how the country would be governed, who gets what, is confederation the best option for us, or what. It is obvious that the current presidential system is not helping us to move forward at all. “Look at the issue of insecurity across the country. You hear of Boko Haram bombing people here and there. That is not the best for us. He stated: “See how the Igbo are slaughtered everyday by Boko Haram. Are we really part of the Federation called Nigeria. It is high time we organised a roundtable discussion on how to ensure and secure the safety of lives and property in Nigeria, whether it is called a sovereign National Conference or a national conference does not really matter. “I know that members of the National Assembly will not support it because they feel that we are taking their jobs from them. But, unfortunately, they are not representing the interest of their people. The governors are also like that. How many of them care for the welfare of the masses? Look at them, when they get sick, they travel overseas for treatment, but how Nigerians can afford to travel like that? We really need to sit down and talk.”

NBA to fight corruption in judiciary Stories by Joseph Jibueze

• Lawyers back IG Abubakar

HE Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) is set to tackle corrup tion in the judiciary. It decried the growing incidences of graft in the justice delivery system and the alleged fact that some members of the bar and the bench were involved in the “perilous conduct”. The association directed its President Joseph Daudu (SAN) to set up a high-powered committee, to be referred to as the NBA Anti-Corruption Commission, to deal with graft in the judiciary. The commission will identify those involved in the “unwholesome and indeed criminal” practice of judicial corruption, investigate and refer the outcome to the various anti-corruption law enforcement agencies for prosecution. NBA also approved the setting up of similar anti-corruption committees in all the 96 branches based on a template to be designed by the secretariat and presented to branch chairmen for prompt implementation. The association approved the creation of six additional branches, which brought their number to 96. They are: Gwagwalada, Bwari, Badagry, Obollo-Afor, Kabba and Ikom. These were disclosed in a statement and communiqué issued by NBA at the end of its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting last week in Akure, Ondo State capital. It was signed by Daudu. Issues considered at the meeting ranged from problems facing the association, the demands for a national discourse on the future of Nigeria, the country’s “skewed” political arrangement and an overriding need to listen to all and sundry on the future of Nigeria political arrangement. They also discussed the need find ways to eradicate corruption, and the roles the judiciary and society can play. NBA reviewed the calls for pardon for the 30 Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs) who presented themselves for swearing-in on August 26, last year despite its resolution directing members not to attend. The directive was in view of what NBA said was “clear disrespect” shown to it by the decision of the former Chief Justice of Nigeria (CNJ), Justice Aloysius Katsina-Alu, to fix the swearingin during the NBA National Conference. NBA said only five of the new SANs have apologised to the NEC, therefore, their standing in the association have been restored. These include the right to be called by their rank at any NBA function, their ability to participate in NBA Committees and in other activities of the association, their ability to serve as NBA nominees of various law-related councils, boards etc, and generally represent the Bar in any capacity. However, “the full force of the

Port Harcourt 2011 Conference Resolutions on the remaining 25 Senior Advocates of Nigeria shall continue to apply,” NBA said. NBA’s NEC reviewed what it called unfortunate events that were precipitated by the fuel subsidy removal, including the needless deaths of 16 Nigerians at the hand of enforcement agents. It said: “Institutions of governance must at all times be responsive to the wishes of the majority, maintain well-oiled and functional advisory capacity and ensure that its decisions are in the overall interest of Nigeria and Nigerians.” NBA also reviewed the state of insecurity in the country. It said the situation is fuelled by factors, such as alleged marginalisation of Nigerians on ethnic and religious grounds, unequal and lopsided revenue arrangement, corruption, and unwieldy and unprofitable political arrangement and systems. These, it said, led to the agitation for “urgent and indeed imperative national discourse, the essence of which is to have a peaceful, cohesive and united federal entity, indivisible and indissoluble in its quest to be a world power.” The association also deliberated on the clamour in some quarters for the removal of the Acting Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar. The call is predicated on the White Paper issued by the Plateau State government following the recommendations of the Justice Niki Tobi Commission of Inquiry into the 2001 Jos crisis. NBA said the call for Abubakar’s removal is premature and without any legal basis. This, it said, is because the indictment is from a state government, which has no control over the Nigerian Police Force (an entity on the Constitution’s exclusive legislative list), and because the Federal Executive Council has not ratified the White Paper. The communiqué added: “NEC condemned in strong terms the comments made by some lawyers in the media, particularly those comments alluded to its past President Chief Bayo Ojo (SAN) against the association’s position on the removal of fuel subsidy by Government and warned that in future the Association will sanction such members no matter how highly placed. “NEC approved the constitution of the 2012 NBA National Officers Election Committee charged with conducting elections during the Delegates Conference in July 2012, which will bring about the emergence of the National Officers for the period September 2012- August 2014. “NEC notes the rapid and giant developmental strides in all sectors of governance and the economy in Ondo State under the leadership of Governor Olusegun Mimiko, and expressed satisfaction with his pragmatism and people-oriented leadership style.”

‘Angry tax payers can approach us’

AX payers have been urged to approach the Tax Appeal Tribunal to resolve any issues they may have. It sits in eight zones across the country. It was established by the Federal Government to settle tax disputes between the tax payer and tax authorities, to mitigate the often complained high-handedness of tax officials. The tribunal was established pursuant to Section 59 (1) of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) (Establishment) Act No. 13 of 2007. The Southwest Zone of the Tribunal has its office at 5, Ibrahim Taiwo Avenue, off University of Ibadan/Secretariat Road, New Bodija, Ibadan. It has been sitting since November, 2010. The appeal process is structured

such that both the tax payers and tax authorities can file appeals before it. In a recent session of the tribunal at Ibadan between February 15 and 17, seven appeals were filed. Secretary and Head of Tribunal Secretariat, Southwest Zone, Ibadan, Mr Hilary N. Onwe, said the Tribunal is open to the public. He said they can seek redress in matters of excessive or oppressive assessments, adding that the tribunal has power to reduce, increase or annul tax assessments by Revenue authorities and in appropriate circumstances, waive or reduce interests and penalties. Onwe said with the recent amendment to the Personal Income Tax Act, Cap P.8 LFN, 2004,

and replacement of former Body of Appeal Commissioners with Tax Appeal Tribunal, the tribunal has become the preferred and first line mediation centre for matters concerning Personal Income Tax. He urged the tax paying public to take advantage of the Tax Appeal Tribunal for quick, less expensive and convenient redress of tax disputes. According to him, the appeal commissioners, who sit in tribunal are experienced and seasoned lawyers, tax practitioners and administrators. “In line with the tribunal’s mandate, they are prepared to do substantial justice to taxpayers and tax authorities alike, devoid of the usual technicalities, delay and rigours of the regular courts,” Onwe added.

Nigeria as Ojukwu departs

• Tarfa (SAN), his Rebecca and children cutting his 50th birthday cake

Govs, lawyers gather for Tarfa at 50

OR Rickey Tarfa (SAN), it is the start of a new life. He turned 50 last Thursday. Friends, associates and family gathered in celebration of another milestone for a man whose impact has been felt in the practice of law by many. Tarfa, who has been involved in many landmark commercial and political cases, including election petitions, in which he represented some of the serving governors, is known as a frontline litigation lawyer. Ogun State Governor Ibikunle Amosun, who graced the event held in Lagos, said Tarfa made complicated legal issues look simple in court. He said when clients and other lawyers would get agitated, Tarfa would calm everyone down with his sound legal arguments. Amosun said of Tarfa: “The landmark achievements and strides in the law profession, and

By Joseph Jibueze

the enviable contributions you have made to nation building all attest to the fact that yours has been an impactful and fulfilling life, even at a relatively tender age of 50. “Once again, please accept my hearty congratulations and have assurances of my highest regards, as always.” Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, a beneficiary of Tarfa’s legal expertise, said the celebrator has contributed not just to the legal profession but to the country’s democractic growth. “Through your diligent prosecution of several landmark cases, you have helped to expand the frontiers of positive democratic governance and politics. “In particular, based on your very profound submissions, our courts have imposed severe limits on the arbitrary exercise of

presidential authority and on the powers of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to disqualify candidates. “May I also use this occasion to again express my profound appreciation for the role you played in the struggle to reclaim our stolen mandate in Edo State. “As a leading member of the team that pursued my election petition and appeal, your contributions and role were critical. “This is saying happy birthday to a valued friend, a true patriot and a sterling legal luminary. I wish you the best of health, God’s guidance, and many more years of service.” Chief Anthony Idigbe (SAN), said Tarfa is a hardworking and focused lawyer who “knew his onion.” He said Tarfa can create thousands of pages of legal documents in a matter of hours effortlessly. Before the reception, there was a church service in which prayers were said for Tarfa.

Man arraigned for alleged N14.2m fraud

52-year-old man, Familuwa Olugbenga Peter, has been arraigned before a Lagos High Court, Ikeja by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on a seven-count charge of conspiracy to obtain money by false pretences. Familuwa was alleged to have connived with two others to fraudulently obtain N14.2 million from a man named Taheed Taiwo Hassan and his company, Enrich Investment Trust Limited, on the pretence that they wanted to help him import second hand vehicles. One of the two accused persons had earlier been arraigned while the other is said to be at large. According to the counsel to the EFCC, Mrs. Atinuke Daramola, the offences were contrary to Section I (3) and 8 (A) of the Advanced Fee and Other Fraud Related Offence Act, No 14, 2006. The accused persons were alleged to have commited the offence between June 2007 and April 2008 within Ikeja judicial division. When the case came up at the

By Adebisi Onanuga

court during the weekend, Familuyi pleaded not guilty to the seven-count charge and his counsel applied for bail as provided under Section 35 (4) (5) of the 1999 constitution as amended and Section 18 (2) and 15 (3) of the Law of Administration of Criminal Justice in Lagos state 2011. He said the accused person has spent 12 days in the detention of the EFCC until he filed application for his trial in a court of competent jurisdiction. According to him, the fundamental principle is that every accused person is presumed to be innocent until proven otherwise and is liable to bail as provided for by the constitution based on the court’s discretion. He, therefore, asked for bail on very liberal terms with a promise that the defendant will make himself available for trial. Counsel to EFCC, Mrs. Daramola opposed the bail in order for the accused person not to escape trial.

But Justice Onigbanjo granted the accused person bail for N250, 000 with two sureties who must have an evidence of tax payment for three years. The judge also ordered that the sureties must depose to an affidavit of means while one must have a landed property within Lagos and must be ready to deposit his land papers at the court after it has been verified. Onigbanjo said the other surety must be a public officer who must be on Grade level 13 and above. Justice Onigbanjo also turned down the request of the EFCC that the accused person be remanded in its custody till he perfects his bail conditions. Rather, Justice Onigbanjo gave his counsel the freedom to choose a prison that he will give him easy access to his client. The Ikoyi Prisons was agreed upon and the trial judge subsequently ordered that Familuwa be remanded in Ikoyi prisons until his bail condition is met and put off trial in the matter till April 1.

IM Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu surely experienced the best and the worst times as a Nigerian in his life time. One can even say that he personified this extreme dynamics; as the debate rages whether Nigeria could become a great nation, under the present structure. As expected the Eze Igbo Gburugburu is departing in a blaze of glory. From Zungeru, Niger State where he was born to Lagos, to Port Harcourt, to Abuja, to Enugu, to Owerri, to Awka, and finally to Nnewi where he will rest among his ancestors, nothing short of iconic adulations is going on. Sir Louis Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Ikemba’s father was a quintessential entrepreneur, representing hope for a prosperous new Nigeria at her Independence in 1960. The younger Ojukwu epitomised burning nationalism when despite receiving a world class university education from Oxford he resisted the offer to take over a flourishing business empire and rather enlisted as a non commissioned officer in the Nigerian Army. Ojukwu also showed discipline and love for a united Nigeria when during the first military putsch in January 1966, Ojukwu isolated his military command in Kano from the military take over, and provided protection for politically exposed public figures, including the Emir of Kano. But by May 1967, the quintessential nationalism and patriotism in Ojukwu had been forced by the systemic contradictions in our country to retreat; such that as the military/political leader of the old South-Eastern Nigeria, he was forced by grave circumstances to defend a war waged against his people by the Nigerian state. While accusations and counter accusations as to who the culprits of the events that culminated into the Nigerian civil war continues to vary depending on who is rendering the story; Nigerians have since been faced with the grim reality that Nigeria needs restructuring for it to make progress. At the height of the efforts to save the country from an imminent civil war in 1967, was the famous Aburi accord in Ghana; where African leaders tried to mediate among the then top military and political leaders of Nigeria on ways to restructure the country. Unfortunately the accord was discarded as soon as the protagonists came back to Nigeria, leading to a civil war in which about three million Nigerians, mainly Igbos were slaughtered or died from starvation; as the dominant mantra in Nigeria changed from “there is no basis for a united Nigeria” to “the unity of Nigeria is not negotiable”. For many years after reclaiming the geographical space occupied by the Igbo, the resurgent Nigerian army had a field day pillaging the country’s resources as war booty; while intermittently allowing their political class a look in. Of course the international arena has since changed, and coup d’état in Africa has become very unfashionable, with serious consequences on the financial and material well being of that ancien regime. As they mourn their loss, and as if to add salt to the injury, some strange outsiders from the oil bearing states have by a stroke of chance chanced on power and are obviously making a kill out of that opportunity. Now there is a dilemma over how to handle these strange times. As Ikemba departs, maybe it is time to have a second look on the agreements hammered out at Aburi. While those outside the power calculus could see clearly and are insisting on a sovereign national conference; those swimming in the petro dollars can only see rainbow in the sky; and of course are not willing to talk with their mouths full. The national assembly leadership and the presidency have called the calls for a sovereign conference, an unpatriotic idle talk; with the Senate President predicting that Nigeria would soon become a great nation. As things stand President Goodluck Jonathan may not realise that nothing has changed in his native Niger Delta; except perhaps the creation of a few rich men and patches of development here and there. His kinsmen are also so far gone in their dressing up to their new found status that they would not appreciate that unless Nigeria is restructured, they may return to their former status once the Abuja parade comes to an end. The Speaker of the national assembly from the born to rule state, Sokoto, luckily dose not have the compulsion to explain to his people how despite their political ascendency since the civil war years; the state is at present ranked among the least in the human capital development index of states in Nigeria. There are similar contradictions everywhere; yet the present pretenders propagate that all is well with Nigeria as is. One such old sore point is how “the abandoned property saga” has been treated under our democracy. I am not away that after 42 years, those affected has received a citizen’s treatment after the so called no victor no vanquished civil war. Indeed I am surprised that a quality law suit has not been started to test the laws on that. But Governor Rotimi Amaechi may also show sagacity by politically bringing that injustice to a close as a fitting gesture to the memory of Ikemb Nnewi.

Commonwealth lawyers to hold conference

SBL conference coming in Lagos

HE Section on Business Law (SBL) of the Nige rian Bar Association (NBA) has promised to hold a successful conference for lawyers in June. The leadership of the Section led by its new chairman, Mr Gbenga Oyebode, gave the promise in Akure. They were in the Ondo State capital to attend and present their report to the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the NBA. In a chat with The Nation after the meeting, pioneer chairman and ‘Father’ of SBL, George Etomi, said: “I feel very happy that the train is back on track and I have absolute confidence in Mr Gbenga Oyebode, Asue Ighodalo, Olu Akpata, the chairman of the Section, Vice Chairman and Secretary. They were always with us from the beginning and by their presence here in Akure, they also want to create that link with the NBA. I have no doubt at all that they will succeed but I want to say that the future of the Bar lies in the Sections because that is where we can handle the large number of lawyers we keep churning out from the Nigerian Law School every year.

Section on Business Law Stories by John Austin Unachukwu

“This year alone, about 4,000 lawyers were called to the Bar, so, if we don’t expand the profession, so that new horizons will open to them, it would be very difficult to protect the profession. One way in which we can open space for them is to help the Sections to be more active, the committees to be more active so that specialisation is encouraged and many other avenues through which lawyers can utilise their skills can also be explored, that is so important for the future of the profession.” The new Chairman of the Section, Mr Gbenga Oyebode, said: “The newly reconstituted SBL is really bringing the old members of the SBL back on council. We are working hard to make sure that we build on the foundations which George Etomi put in place. We promise to organise a successful conference this year. On the expectations at the Lagos Conference, Oyebode said: “We missed out in the 2011 conference. 2012 will be an extremely successful conference. We are going to put

all the committees of the SBL together. We are going to make sure that all the topical issues affecting the nation today are discussed, the challenges facing our professional colleagues across the country are discussed and I can assure you that the very strong foundations that George Etomi put in place, we are going to build on it and we shall make sure that our conferences are held round the country rather than Lagos or Abuja only. Secretary of the section, Mr Olu Akpata, said: “I feel elated, all of us are in agreement that SBL is a critical part of the NBA, that it was not in good condition of the last one year was not a good thing at all. So, it is fantastic to be back on board. On what to expect from the Section during their nest Annual Conference Akpata said: “A power packed, revitilised, renergised, a section committed to knowledge development within the Bar. “We have so many plans, just like the chairman said, our conference is coming up in June, look out for it, we have so many plans.”

HE Commonwealth Lawyers Association (CLA) will hold its conference in Sydney, Australia from April 19 – 22. A statement from the CLA President, Mrs Boma Ozobia, said adequate and easy visa processing arrangements have been put in enable Nigerian lawyers who wish to attend the conference to obtain visa with ease. She said: “We have made adequate arrangements, the Australian High Com-

mission is fully aware of the fact that we are participating and that this conference is holding. “They have in turn informed their Foreign Affairs Office of this. From the Secretariat of the CLA, we are sending updated lists of the delegates to them so that once delegates have registered and paid up and once we send applications in for their visas, they will be dealt with expeditiously.

NBA holds conference

HE NBA Conference on the review of the performance of election petitions tribunals in the country will hold from March 15 to 16 at the Homeville Hotel, Benin City, Edo State. A statement from the Chairman of the committee, Augustin Alegeh (SAN), said: “Given the importance

of the conference to NBA’s cardinal objective of contributing to the enthronement of a virile democracy in Nigeria, the President Goodluck Jonathan, shall be the Special Guest of Honour and shall declare the conference open.” Keynote address will be delivered by Bishop Matthew Kukah.

Odogiyan said that his committee would provide a level playing field for all contestants in the forthcoming Bar elections. Before constituting the committee, Daudu warned candidates against violating the association’s electoral rules. He noted that the ban on political activities in the association has not been lifted, so those who are already in campaign fields are on their own and run the risk of being sanctioned by the association.

LEGAL OPINION Text of a paper presented by former Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Lagos State Prof Yemi Osinbajo (SAN) at a round table organised by the Nigerian Institute of Advanced Legal Studies (NIALS), Akoka, Lagos.

Retreat of legal process •Continued from last week

OME of the highlights of the investigation: •The period between the discovery of the assassinated Funso Williams and when examination by a forensic pathologist was allowed by the police was about six hours, during which time several persons were allowed into the room where the late Funso Williams was still lying face down with his hand tied behind his back. •A police team had also visited the scene hours before the pathologists arrived, but had failed to secure the scene. •The three-man detective team from Scotland Yard, from where the Federal Government sought help to investigate the case were taken to the home of the deceased a few days after his death, noted that the crime scene was not preserved at all for forensic investigation. The police even days after the incident had not secured and taken control of the scene and the keys to the room were still in the custody of a family member of the deceased. •According to the Scotland Yard team, over 7,000 fingerprints were collected from the scene, including those of a policemen. Far too many fingerprints to make much progress. •Although media reports suggested that he was stabbed to death, largely because a blood stained knife was found at the scene, and at least one stab wound was identified on his body, the autopsy report shows that Funso Williams was strangled to death before he was stabbed and that the stab wounds were not the cause of death. •Aside from Funso Williams’ political rivals including Senators Ogunlewe and Obanikoro, and the co-coordinator of the Federal Road Maintenance Agency, Kehinde Oyenuga, nine other suspects were arrested. The three mobile policemen on guard duties at his home were suspected of complicity on account of their inability to explain their absence from their duty post when the incident occurred. •A jubilant text message, congratulating someone for a job well done was found on the phone of one Mr Felix John, who was also arrested. Mr David Cassidy, Funso Williams’ day security guard who had the keys to the vacant building through which the assailants accessed the Williams’ home was also arrested and detained. •Frank Uzuegunam, Funso Williams’ Media Assistant was also questioned, especially about why he prevented Williams’ domestic servants from going upstairs to invite him to breakfast when he was unusually late coming downstairs. He had apparently told the domestic staff that Funso Williams was getting dressed upstairs. It was apparently after a long wait that Funso Williams’ driver ignored the directive, went upstairs and found him dead. To date no one has been charged with the killing of Funso Williams. Attempted assassination of Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello and the killing of Adeife Sodipo Akin-Deko (aged 14 yrs) and Akinola Sodipo Akin-Deko (aged 11yrs) The tragic killing of the SodipoAkindeko siblings, Adeife, aged 14 and her brother Akinola, aged 11, occurred on Easter Sunday, April 20, 2003, while travelling in an FGN numbered car, with fully tinted windows and screens, belonging to then Mrs. (now Senator) Iyabo ObasanjoBello, daughter of the then president. Also killed in the same car were a police orderly, the driver, and an elderly man. The police claimed that the victims were killed by one of the gangs working for the

Beninois trans-border robbery king pin, Ahmad Tijani, who specialised in snatching cars in Nigeria and selling them in Cotonou. According to the police, Ahmad Tijani had confessed to the crime. The mother of the deceased children, Dr. (Mrs) Bisola Sodipo AkinDeko, (who was interviewed by researchers for this study on October 10, 2009), refuted the police story, she alleged that: •The children and others killed in the incident were not killed by robbers but by hired assassins, whose target was Senator Iyabo ObasanjoBello. •That on the date of the incident, Iyabo and her were travelling from Lagos to Abeokuta and had stopped over at Igbogun to go to Ota. In the course of the journey, Iyabo decided to join her, Bisola, in her car and suggested that her children move into her (Iyabo’s) car, an FGN marked vehicle, which was driving behind them, while Iyabo and herself were in her (Bisola’s) car. •On passing the Ifo junction she noticed that her driver looked alarmed, which prompted her to look back only to discover that Iyabo’s car, carrying the deceased persons, was ambushed by about 10 to 12 armed men who had forced the car into a valley and were literarily spraying the car with bullets. She said she saw the leader of the assassins, dressed in white, and carrying a live tortoise around his neck. •As the assailants continued to shoot, her driver accelerated to escape the scene. She said: I told the driver to stop but he refused. It was when I opened the car door and attempted to jump out that he stopped. It was then I heard Iyabo telling the driver‚don’t wait, it’s me they want. •Dr. Sodipo Akin-Deko, claimed that she was eventually prevailed upon not to come down from the car but to seek help at a police checkpoint and also from the President’s home. •A team of policemen was then dispatched to the scene by the President. She was dissuaded from going to the scene as she was told that the children had been taken to hospital; no one being bold enough to tell her that no one survived the assailants’ bullets. Her children were later identified by a priest and her sister for burial. •Although Ahmad Tijani was later extradited to Nigeria for robberies committed in Nigeria, mostly car robberies, he was never charged for the murder of the victims of the Easter Sunday killings at Ifo junction, nor for attempting to assassinate Mrs. Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello. •The two suspects, who were reportedly members of Tijani’s gang were never presented for identification by Dr. Bisola Akin-Deko, Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello, or any other eye witnesses of the incident. •There was no evidence of any attempt to snatch the car or steal from it. •The Assistant Commissioner of Police investigating the case was transferred before the conclusion of the investigations. It is apparent that for whatever reasons whether it is as a part of an official cover up or merely a lack of desire to thoroughly investigate, that the police prefer the explanation of armed robbery to any suggestion of assassination. The approach is clearly wrongheaded. Even the least intelligent procurer of assassins would probably remember to instruct them to make the incident look as much as possible as a robbery. That, going by even past experience with police investigations is a story line that would throw the police off the trail

of the possible sponsors of an assassination. In several of the high profile killings we have examined, good reasons usually exist for at least investigating assassination allegations more tenaciously. The sum effect of the armed robbery theory of the police in high profile killings is the continuing impunity with which they are effected. We have spent considerable time on the facts of these cases, police investigations and conclusions, and possible judicial outcomes because these cases, though high profile, are typical of the way cases are processed in our criminal justice system. It must be apparent that a great deal is wrong. Evidently, there is a grave problem with the quality of investigations. The reasons include inadequacy in terms of quality of human resources and expertise available for investigations, as well as funding and necessary equipment. An overarching issue in the investigation of many of the high profile cases is the sometimes almost brazen incidence of political interference. The possibility is itself indicative of weakness in the calibre of leadership of the police force and its lack of independence from even direct interference from the Executive. A possible answer to that, at least in the short term, might be greater independence from the point of view of funding and tenure of police chiefs once appointed. There is no reason why the police cannot like the judiciary be funded directly from the consolidated revenue fund and be self- accounting. The Inspector-General of police may be appointed for a fixed one–term tenure without the distraction and compromises that tenure renewal brings. However, the larger issue is with the structure of the police force itself, and the aberration of a centrally controlled police force in a federation of over 140 million people. The operational and management challenges of that arrangement are evident in the chaotic state of the Nigerian Police. From the point of view of effective coordination of the institutions of criminal justice, it is evident that there is a problem where the chief law officer of the state cannot determine how many police men he requires to keep law and order. Many of the delays in the criminal process are based on the conflicts in priorities between the federal command of the police and local needs, the transfer of investigating police officers out of state without consultation with the state directorate of public prosecution.

•Osinbajo

Besides, it would seem quite basic that effective policing must be community-based, most criminal behaviour is local. How can a Hausa speaking police officer from Katsina State be effective in detecting and investigating crimes as DPO in a village in Ebonyi state when he cannot speak or understand the local dialect? The case for State police is one that has made itself in so many ways. In that kind of arrangement there is ample room for a Federal Police Force as well, which deals with cross-border crimes, (both internal and external), Federal offences, and collaborates with the local police in national assignments like censuses and elections. With the State police, States can rather, like state judiciaries currently do, compete in innovation, reform and standard setting. There is very little doubt that without the use of forensic science in criminal investigation, the most significant resources are simply excluded! There can be no excuse today, for the non-use of the broad range of criminalistics, i.e. the application of various sciences in the gathering of evidence which are the results of examination and comparison of biological evidence. These include Impression evidence, such as fingerprints, footwear impressions and tyre impressions, ballistics, (scientific examination of firearms and ammunition). Forensic DNA Analysis is also quite common place in many jurisdictions. That the Nigeria Police does not

have its own laboratories with the capacity of DNA Analysis is regrettable indeed. How about digital forensics? Which deals with the many scientific methods of recovery of data from electronic and digital equipment? A great deal of these forensic resources are quite affordable and the technology and training are easily accessible today. Fingerprint technology is clearly not rocket science. It is perhaps the oldest of the forensic technologies and had been available in the Nigeria Police force for decades. It however fell into disuse and along with the fact that no database of fingerprints even of suspects or convicts exists. Without such data bases, gathering fingerprint evidence is of limited use since there is little to match what is gathered with. From practically all the cases examined but especially the Bola Ige and Funso Williams killings, it is quite obvious that crime scene management is alien to many police operatives. Standard procedures to be adopted at crime scenes, cordoning off the scene, wearing appropriate clothing and accessories to prevent interference with prints, impressions and other biological evidence which may be available are completely ignored. The extensive potential for the investigative use of mobile phones and even the banks’ very comprehensive data base (which is accessible across thecountry at the touch of a button) has remained largely untapped in police investigations. No great intelligence is required to demonstrate that impunity thrives in criminal behavior when there is no certainty of detection and punishment. The wave of kidnappings which began in the Niger Delta, its victims usually being expatriates, has now spread across the country. Essentially, the spread of kidnapping is based on the successes of the perpetrators in the Niger Delta and now everywhere else. While all official statements after kidnap victims have been released, claim that no ransoms were paid, almost everyone knows that there is no greater falsehood and that payment of a ransom is the almost invariable resolution of kidnap. Many perpetrators possibly find this new enterprise far more rewarding from a financial point of view and perhaps less dangerous from a personal safety point of view than armed robbery. There would appear to be no imaginative response from police and other law enforcement agencies to this new threat to lives and property, a serious disincentive to living, working, or even tourism in Nigeria. •To be continued

LAW & SOCIETY

When lawyers joined fight to tackle insecurity

AWYERS under the umbrella, Eastern Bar Forum (EBF), have decided to complement the efforts of the Federal Government to tackle insecurity. The forum, which is an association of the branches of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) in the nine states that make up the former Eastern region of Nigeria, organised a two-day international legal conference in Calabar, to bring legal minds together to brainstorm on the problem. The National Security Adviser, General Andrew Azazi, and former Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mike Okiro, among others, gathered to rub minds on how to tackle the security problems. Chairman of EBF, Mr Kemasuode Wodu, said the aim of the conference, which had as its theme Challenges to National Security, was its contribution towards seeking a solution to the hydra headed and intractable problem which the country is grappling with. He said: “We are worried, Nigerians are worried. Insecurity has become pervasive. It has assumed an endemic dimension.” Wodu said the conference sought to examine the security issues from three perspectives viz, Law Enforcement: State Police, a viable option?; Insecurity: Economic Implications; and National security: The role of true federalism. “These three segments of the topic are very apt because there is no gainsaying the fact that effective policing can reduce violent crimes to the barest minimum and substantially improve national security. “Also certain agitations leading to the commission of some of these very heinous and violent crimes are allegedly hinged on perceived dissatisfaction with the present power and resource sharing systems in the country thereby calling into question the nature of federalism we operate in the country. Economic implications of insecurity will enable us to realise how badly we are affected as a nation by the insecu-

rity occasioned by the aforesaid violent crimes to take urgent remedial actions. “It is for the above reason that we have taken out time to select and invite relevant persons and policy makers who would be able to use their good offices to begin the process of effecting relevant changes in the polity for the purpose of achieving better and improved security of lives in Nigeria.” The acting Governor of Cross River State, My Larry Odey, said security is a major threat to the Vision 20:20:20. The governor, who was represented by the state Attorney General, Mr Attah Ochinke, said due to the problem of security, several foreign investment decisions have been reviewed because of news coming out of Nigeria. He praised the EBF for bringing together legal minds to tackle the issues of national security. Chairman of the event, Justice Peter Agumagu, said national security in the past had emphasis on warding off external forces, but today the problem has become internal and very worrying. He said unfolding events in the country have shown it is becoming increasingly difficult for the government to safeguard the lives and property of its citizens. He maintained that while the government is doing all it can, it is also the duty of every Nigerian to help fight insecurity. “There needs to be a cooperation between the government and the people, and I commend the members of the Bar, being part of the citizenry having to play their own role towards safeguarding this nation.” Special guest, General Azazi delivered a lecture on Challenges to Nigeria’s national security. He said the role of the judiciary was very important in achieving national security, added that the security problems today arise from various social, political, ethnic and economic

challenges that have been planted in the past 15 to 20 years. He emphasised that security should not be left to the government alone, but the citizenry should work together with the security agencies. He said the primary external security challenge facing the country is its porous borders. “Our borders make it easy for the illegal movement of dangerous weapons, materials and inappropriate economic activities.” Azazi said the country’s’ porous borders are partly the result of the inability of responsible agencies to mount effective solution due to human resource knowhow and technical limitations. He said the resulting problems of proliferation of small arms, light weapons, human trafficking, smuggling, influx of aliens including armed bandits and dissidents curtail our progress as a nation. The NSA boss said the activities of the Boko Haram Islamic sect has its roots in a number of social, economic and political issues left previously unaddressed.

Azazi called for the overhaul in the strategy to national security. He said: From the above, a picture begins to emerge that our national security challenges are the result of complex interplays between unresolved issues in our society, capacity limitations, limited resources, and the fact that the new world presents complex problems that our old infrastructure was not designed to deal with. “How then can we expect that these challenges can be overcome without a whole new strategic approach to national security? There are no silver bullets and we must strive to build a resilient infrastructure to deal with our security challenges. Nothing short of this holistic approach will bring us back to the state of security that our citizens deserve and that our constitution seeks to achieve,” he said. Former Inspector General of Police, Sir Mike Okiro said the country is not ready for decentralisation of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) as has been clamoured in several quarters. According to him, rather than the

state police option for now, the idea of strengthening the Crime Prevention option of the present centralised place administration, overhaul of police intelligence gathering and sharing apparatus, the provision of crime databases for the police and the promotion of the concept of policing by the body polity, the country will surely overcome its security challenges. Delivering a lecture State Police: A Viable Option? Okiro, who was represented by CP Austin Obaedo (rtd), said there was a need for certain institutional foundations to be on ground to enable the successful midwifing of the state police when the time comes. Papers presented at the two-day conference included, enforcement National Security: The Role of True Federalism by Ledum Mitee and Insecurity: Economic implication by George Etomi. Among discussants at the event were Executive Vice Chairman, Monipulo Limited, Mrs Seinye Lulu-Briggs and Fola Atthur Worey, chief executive officer, Lagos State Security Fund.

Lassa fever, a killer disease spread by bush rats, is ravaging some parts of the country. WALE ADEPOJU reports on efforts by the Federal and state governments to curb the menace

Curtailing Lassa fever

LASSA viral haemorrhagic fever is an acute illness of one to four weeks duration that occurs in West Africa. Though first discovered in the 1950s, the virus causing the disease was not identified until 1969. The virus is a single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the virus family Arenaviridae. Lassa fever is known to be endemic in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and parts of Nigeria, but probably exists in other West African countries as well.

Signs and symptoms

OW can Lassa fever, a disease which has killed 40 people from 397 reported cases in some parts of the country, especially Ebonyi State, in the past one month, be curtailed? This is the puzzle the Federal and state governments are trying to resolve as the fever continues to ravage the land. Among those killed by the disease are doctors said to be treating infected persons in Ebonyi. To prevent the disease from spreading, Nigerian have been asked to reduce contact with bush rats, which are said to be the major cause of the fever. The disease, the Federal and state government said, was a wake-up call to Nigerians to embrace personal and environmental hygiene. Advising Nigerians to reduce the contact with bush rats, Special Adviser (SA) to Minister of State for Health, Dr Labaran Ibrahim, said the fever is a viral disease spread by rodents or rats. But, he added, they are not the kind of rats seen in the house because they live in the bush. The rats, he said, are responsible for the spread of the virus whenever they get in contact with people. Lassa fever is an acute viral haemorrhagic fever caused by the Lassa virus and discovered in 1969 in Lassa, in Borno State. Two months ago, there was a reported case in Ebonyi State, where the disease killed a doctor. But one case was not as serious as the recent outbreak reported in about six states. On the government’s response, he said: “The recent epidemic we had is being controlled because we have people living in those areas where this disease was found. And those who were affected are receiving treatment. They are taking drugs and injections.” He said the Federal Government has sent epidemiologists to the field to see whether they can help prevent the disease’s spread, adding that the situation was under control. Ibrahim said the public should reduce their contact with bush rats, adding that they should also stop the way they’ dry their food outside. The most important way of curtailing the disease, he said, is for the public to reduce their contact with the Lassa virus carrying rats and taking advice from epidemiologists and community mobilisers detailed to disseminate information. He said: “The Federal Ministry of Health has set up a committee, with some states following suit, including Plateau, Lagos, Edo and Anambra. Some states such Edo, Nasarawa, Plateau, Ebonyi, Taraba, Yobe, Ondo, Rivers, Gombe, Anambra, Delta and Lagos have also reported cases of the disease. Anybody who sees somebody with a fever that is unusual should report at the nearest health facility. Our health workers have been informed on what to look out for.” On the symptoms, he said, patients usually experience fever, retrosternal pain (pain behind the chest wall), sore throat, back pain, cough, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhoea, conjunctivitis, facial swelling, proteinuria (protein in the urine), and mucosal bleeding. They also experience hearing loss, tremors, and encephalitis. Because the symptoms of the fever are varied and nonspecific, clinical diagnosis is difficult, he said. On diagnosis, he said, the government has a centre in Irua, Edo State, where research is

carried out. The fever occurrs once in a while, he said, reiterating the government’s resolve to curb the disease. Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Dr Jide Idris said the disease was common in some parts of Africa and Nigeria, especially the North. He said it was a wake-up call for Nigerians to embrace personal and environmental hygiene. “Basically, the most effective thing is to encourage personal hygiene and environmental sanitation, specifically refuse disposal as precautionary measures,” he added. Idris said those who contacted the disease came in contact with the virus carrying rodents. “That is why it is essential that one controls rodents in his house by adopting personal and environmental hygiene in the house. It is also spread by direct contact with the blood, urine, faeces or other bodily secretions of person with Lassa fever. “For those who have contacted the virus the symptoms are similar to those of malaria fever, typhoid fever and if not properly checked can go to other things such as liver failure, bleeding and others,” he said. Idris said expectant mothers are also susceptible as they could come down with the disease, saying: “This is very essential for the government and that is why the Federal Government has come out to enlighten the public on how it is contacted and things they should do and basically refuse disposal. People need to adopt personal hygiene such as hand washing with soap and water before meal. Also, people need to prevent droppings of rodents from getting into their food. It is important for people to store grains and other dried food items in containers with covers”, adding: “A case was detected in Lagos last December, that person was identified. He came to Lagos on a business and went out. But the government traced the patient and his contacts and took samples from all of them. These tests proved negative. As a responsive government, we will continue to enlighten the public more so that they know what to do.” Anambra State, commissioner for Health, Prof Amobi Ilika, said the state was yet to record any case, adding that it has raised surveillance and increase awareness. He said the state Health ministry had started educating residents through distribution of handbills and convening town hall meetings to sensitise the public on the symptoms of the disease. He advised residents to report any case to the nearest health facility near them. Ilika said the government had enough

drugs and personnel to contain the disease. The Chief Medical Director (CMD) of Irrua Specialist Hospital in Edo, Prof George Akpede, said Lassa fever has claimed 22 lives in hospital since last year. According to him, the deaths were recorded between January 2011 and February 2012. He said the victims were admitted at the hospital over the period. Akpede said the worst cases were recorded between last October and February, 2012, when 12 out of 67 patients died. He said although cases associated with the disease had reduced in the state, it was worrisome that medical personnel handling the cases in the hospital were being infected. “Mortality is decreasing. It is much lower than what we have been experiencing in the past year and a possible explanation for that is the increase on the level of awareness on the problem. “Unlike previous experiences, people who have contacted the diseases now report for treatment earlier instead of treating common fever. “Having dedicated staff and ward had also helped to reduce the rate of death. Since last year, it is only now that it is possible for us to offer a level of critical assistance to patients by way of dialysis,” he said. Akpede said more can be achieved in combating the disease if certain facilities and infrastructure were put in place in the hospital and around the state. He called for the establishment of more centres in strategic locations in the country for the diagnosis and treatment of the disease, especially with the recent upsurge in reported cases. Akpede advocated increased and sustained campaign on the disease to raise the level of awareness on it. “Here, in this hospital, we are beginning to see overwhelming number of victims of the disease. We have had patients from Taraba, Abakiliki, Ondo, Kogi and even Abuja. “We are making a case to the Federal Government to provide cardiology support and the need to upgrade our diagnostic capability. This will enable us to handle a large pool of patients with the disease. “There is need to also replicate same to centres in other zones of this country but we think that Lassa fever is a disease that is still under-reported in this country. “No community study has been done to ascertain the prevalence rate of the disease and until recently, in Edo, we thought it was ravaging only Ekpoma and environs but it has spread,” he said.

‘People need to adopt personal hygiene such as hand washing with soap and water before meal. Also, people need to prevent droppings of rodents from getting into their food. It is important for people to store grains and other dried food items in containers with covers’

About 80 per cent of human infections are asymptomatic; the remaining cases have severe multi-system disease, where the virus affects several organs in the body, such as the liver, spleen and kidneys. The incubation period of Lassa fever ranges from six to 21 days. The onset of the disease is usually gradual, starting with fever, general weakness, and malaise. After a few days, headache, sore throat, muscle pain, chest pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, cough, and abdominal pain may follow. Severe cases may progress to show facial swelling, fluid in the lung cavity, bleeding from mouth, nose, vagina or gastrointestinal tract, and low blood pressure. Protein may be noted in the urine.

Morbidity and mortality Some studies indicate that 300, 000 to 500, 000 cases of Lassa fever and 5,000 deaths occur yearly across West Africa. The overall casefatality rate is one per cent, up to 15 per cent among hospitalised patients. Death usually occurs within 14 days of onset in fatal cases.

Animal reservoir Lassa fever is a zoonotic disease, meaning that humans become infected from contact with infected animals.

People at risk Lassa fever occurs in all age groups and in both men and women. Persons at greatest risk are those living in rural areas where Mastomys are usually found, especially in places of poor sanitation or crowded living conditions.

Diagnosis Because the symptoms of Lassa fever are so varied and non-specific, clinical diagnosis is often difficult, especially early in the course of the disease. Lassa fever is difficult to distinguish from many other diseases which cause fever, including malaria, shigellosis, typhoid fever, yellow fever and other viral haemorrhagic fevers.

Treatment and prophylaxis The antiviral drug ribavirin is effective treatment for Lassa fever if given early on in the course of clinical illness. There is no evidence to support the role of ribavirin as post-exposure prophylactic treatment for Lassa fever.

Prevention Prevention of Lassa fever in the community centers on promoting good “community hygiene” to discourage rodents from entering homes. Effective measures include storing grain and other foodstuffs in rodent-proof containers, disposing of garbage far from the home, maintaining clean households and keeping cats.

Infection control Family members and health care workers should always be careful to avoid contact with blood and body fluids while caring for sick persons.

Ongoing initiatives Civil unrest in many of the countries where Lassa fever is endemic has impeded effective control. However, recent peace initiatives have opened new opportunities to combat the problem.

MARITIME ‘Reduce illegal port users’ By Oluwakemi Dauda

• Lagos port

Immigration, importers, agents trade blames over cargo clearance

CTIVITIES of some senior officials of the Nigerian Immigration Services (NIS) and other security agents like the police are part of the reasons the cost of doing business at the nation’s seaports is high. Investigation by The Nation revealed that some security agents are collecting bribes from importers and their clearing agents before releasing their goods at the Lagos. For instance, on every used vehicle to be cleared from the port, importers and their clearing agents alleged at Tin-Can port last Friday, that some immigration officers collect between N2,500 and N5,000 from them. They claimed some police officers collect between N1,500 and N3,000 depending on the kind of vehicle to be cleared and its year of manufacturing. The illegal toll collection, it was learnt, is booming because of the government’s inability to curb its security agencies at the port. But a senior Immigration officer, who spoke with The Nation under the condition of anonymity, denied the allegation and tagged those accusing them of taking bribes as those responsible for the missing of goods and containers from the port. The officer told The Nation that they were obligated to demand

carrying our responsibilities to law abiding Nigerians who are using their legitimate money to import goods into the country,” the officer said. But an importer at the Apapa Port, Mr Kayode Ladoja, said there was need for the Federal Government to compel the Ministry of Finance and the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) to publish government’s approved rates on imported vehicles. For instance, on each imported vehicle, officers and men of the Immigration Service, he alleged, demand the passport of the owners. On presenting it, Immigration agents still collect N2,500 before the vehicle can be released. But where the owner does not

This is statutory to avoid flying flying of vehicles from the port. How can we know the rightfull owner of a vehicle if we don’t demand for his or her identity before the vehicle is taken away from the port? If that is the reason the importers and their clearing agents are lying against us that we are collecting bribe from them, we don’t care a hoot while

have a passport and he presents his or her National Identity Card, an Immigration official would reject it, and demand a N5,000 bribe before the owners can move their vehicle out of the port, it was learnt. Also, some police officers allegedly collect bribes ranging from N1,500 to N3,000 from owners before any vehicle to leave the port. This is happening despite the fact that the importer or its clearing agent has paid for documentation, vehicle storage, vehicle indirect deliver, endorsement fee per bill lading, VAT and stamp duty, among other legal rates. To clear a 2005 Toyota Highlander from the Lagos port, an importer spends between N360,000 and N370,000 while the clearing agent collects between N430,000 and N450,000 to do the same job. Of all these amount, the price importers paid as valuation to Customs ranges from N210,000 to N269,000 depending on the condition of the vehicle. But in the neighbouring ports of Ghana and Cotonou, importers claimed that they spend between N220,000 and N260,000 to clear same kind of vehicle. Cargo diversion, another importer, Mr Olukore Gabriel, said it would continue except the Federal Government calls its security agents at the ports to order.

50 Nigerian rice importers quit Cotonou port

HE decision of the Federal Government to ban rice importation through the land borders is paying off as not less than 50 Nigerian rice importers have abandoned the neighbouring Cotonou port to do their business in the country, investigation has revealed. Most of the affected importers are now operating in the country. Speaking with The Nation in Lagos last week, one of the importers, Alhaja Aderonke Kawonise confirmed the relocation of about 50 importers to the country. She said the importers took the decision to relocate to the country as many of them are finding it difficult to bring in the commodity through the land borders. Alhaja Kawonise however, pointed out that the decision of the government has led to increase in the landing cost of price. “The truth of the matter is that majority of our people operating through the Republic of Benin Port have relo-

We also took the decision because of the current scarcity of rice in Thailand,” she said Investigation conducted by The Nation in some of the major markets in Lagos last weekend revealed that most importers now sell a 50kg bag of the lowest grade of Thailand rice between N7,600 and N7,700 while wholesalers and the retailers sell for between N7,800 and N8,000. Kawonise therefore, urged the Federal Government and most especially, the Ministry of Finance to review the duty payable to Customs with a view to bringing down its landing cost to make the commodity more affordable to Nigerians. The market price of rice, she said, has increased geometrically since the Federal Government banned rice importation through Seme, Idiroko

and other land borders. On the reason they preferred importing through the Republic Benin, Kawonise believes that good quality parboiled rice were being imported through that port, noting that, that was the reason why some dealers she referred to as shylock traders prefer total ban of the item through the land borders Other importers who spoke with The Nation under the condition of anonymity attributed their decision to relocate to the high level of surveillance that has been put in place by Customs. They, however, attributed the current high cost of rice to the new tariff regime introduced by the Federal Government. Investigation conducted by The Nation last week, revealed that rice importation activity through the land borders has stopped while rice smuggling has reduced drastically due to the high landing cost of the

ESPITE that human traffic to Tin-Can Island port has reduced in the last two weeks, outside the port is crowded. Both the first and second gates leading to the port are like a market place. The reduction is as a result of the measures put in place by the management of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) and Customs. But stakeholders said NPA needs to stem the activities of illegal port users to avoid the break down of law and order. The vicinity of the port, they said, needs to be cleared of illegal port users. The attention, they said, became necessary following the unsuccessful control of unauthorised people from the ports, even after they had been concessioned. Access to and security of the ports, they said, were important requirements of the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code Managing Director, Maritime Investment Company, Mr Solomon Agbabiaka, said any port that does not have adequate control of people is seen as an insecure, pointing out that such a port is on the high risk of losing its status as ISPS Code-compliant.

Why night cargo clearance is not feasible By Uyoatta Eshiet

OOR power supply, data system and insecurity have affected the ability of the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) to clear goods in the night. The Nation gathered that work at the Tin Can Island Ports in the night was paralysed by poor power, as its officials make do with rechargeable lamps. It was further learnt the clearing agents were not in their duty posts at the time of the visit to the ports. Public Relations Officer, Tin Can Island Ports Command, Mr Chris Osunkwo, said there must be constant power supply if the government wants to achieve its objectives on the 24-hour cargo clearance. Osunkwo, who spoke on behalf of Customs Area Comptroller, Mr Nuhu Isa, said the clearing agents, importers and the shipping companies, must be on ground to achieve success in this regard, adding that their absence has stalled operations in recent times. Also, the Secretary, Bonded Terminal Operators, Mr Omolajomo Haruna, said the refusal of customs officials to discharge their duties as at when due has affected clearing of goods in the night. Haruna said the development makes it difficult for importers and agents to do the necessary documentations at the ports. According to him, officials are unable to access necessary data due to poor network system. He listed other problems to include poor power supply, and fear of attack by men of the underworld. He urged the Federal Government to critically look at the issue and further take appropriate actions. Similarly, the President of the National Association of Government Approved Freight Forwarders (NAGAFF), Mr Eugene Nweke, queried the ports authority for not putting in place measures that would bring about 24-hour cargo clearance in the ports. “For the policy on 24-hour cargo clearance to succeed, the government needs to assure the agents of their safety when they want to collect their goods in the night. When the cleared goods are not safe during the day, is it the night that such goods would be safe? he asked. The government had introduced the 24-hour clearance last year to decongest the ports, ensure trade facilitation, and bring the nation’s ports operations in line with the global standards.

commodity because of the surveillance put in place by Customs command at Seme and Idi-Iroko borders and the unrelenting activities of the Federal Operation Unit (FOU) Zone A. A consumer, Mrs Foluke Adejare, however, appealed to the Federal Government to assist Nigerians in bringing the price down by reducing the tariff payable on it with more people allowed to bring in the staple food.

HE Nigerian Cabotage Act, which was enacted to boost indigenous shipping capacity, is yet to yield the much-awaited gains, because of the non-involvement of stakeholders in the granting of waivers by the Federal Ministry of Transportation. A maritime lawyer, Mr Tosin Oloyede, said in Lagos that Nigerians would have been reaping immensely since the introduction of the Cabotage Act if not for the failure of government officials to involve local ship owners. Oloyede said though Nigerians contributed to the Act, they have since been sidelined in its implementation, particularly the granting of waivers. “Under the Act, where there is no Nigerian to do the job, an expatriate is assigned on the ground that a Nigerian would be attached to him to understudy him. But it is ironical that when these ships come to the country and a waiver is granted, there is no Nigerian attached to the expatriates. The fees that come from the waivers do not go into the coffers of NIMASA and that is why the agency cannot be blamed for it,” he said.

Risk officers mull joint IFRS, Basel Accords implementation

ISK officers are advocating for processes that will permit banks to jointly implement the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS), Basel I and Basel II Accords. Chief Risk Officer, Nigeria Export-Import Bank (NEXIM), Emmanuel Moore Abolo who confirmed this, said how much a bank achieves in terms of data integrity and efficient financial reporting is hinged on its application of IFRS model, Basel I and Basel II Accords. Speaking at the pre Nigeria Development and Finance Forum (NDFF) 2012 conference, Abolo said banks should combine the implementation of IFRS with other risk management parameters like the Basel I and Basel II Accords to achieve better results. Basel Accord, analysts said, is a set of agreements set by the Basel Committee on Bank Supervision (BCBS), which provides recommendations on banking regulations in regards to capital risk, market risk and operational risk. The Basel II is to be fully implemented by 2015 and focuses on three main areas, including minimum capital requirements, supervisory review and market discipline, which are known as the three

pillars. Abolo said although banks cannot be stopped from taking risks associated with their businesses, but they must put in place structures and processes that will hedge against loss. According to him, banks are in the business of

N a practical demonstration of support for the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the Federal Government has increased its annual contribution to the body from $5 million to $15 million. Making this known at the recent IFAD annual board meeting in Rome, Italy, was the Head of the Nigeria Delegation, Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina. Adesina, who is Minister for Agriculture and Rural Development, said the contribution, which is 300 per cent increment is a recognition of IFAD as a critical valued partner. “We are encouraged by the continued focus of IFAD on smallholder farmers. Small-holder farmers form the majority of our farmers, espe-

highly regulated,” he said. Abolo said the process where banks manage their market risk, reputational risks, environmental risks, and all other risks that face financial institution, in a disparate form may not produce the best result. “We have all risk managers scattered everywhere and when you

That explains why all over the world, banks and financial institutions are the most are

Nigeria boosts IFAD with $15m cially the youth and women, but they do not have access to appropriate high yielding technologies that will allow them to raise crop and animal productivity, financing, extension services, secure land access, and they are often left out of policy formulation processes,” the Minister added. Thanking IFAD’s Governing Council and member nations for their “continuing support for Nigeria’s democracy, and our efforts to tackle our security challenges. We know that the key to national security is food security, for peace and security can be only assured when the stomach is secure”. To tackle this, Adesina told the Rome session of the Agricultural Transformation Action Plan of Presi-

dent Goodluck Jonathan: “We have articulated a clear vision to achieve a hunger-free Nigeria, through an agricultural sector that drives income growth, accelerates achievement of food and nutritional security, generates employment and transforms Nigeria into a leading player in global food markets, to grow wealth for millions of farmers’’, he said.

He said the bank studied the lifestyle of women, before arriving at the product. “Women have played strategic roles in their environments and society. We have designed this product for women who are upwardly mobile, those in decision making places and those who can give direction to the society they belong in. The product was designed

The administrative bottleneck made it difficult for us to get to see the chief executive of the state.

SURE programme not cancelled, says Presidency

ONTRARY to reports that President Goodluck Jonathan has jettisoned the Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment (SURE) programme, the Presidency said yesterday that it has not been cancelled. The president last week at the 58th National Executive Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said the SURE programme was no longer feasible and would be reviewed in view of the partial rather than full removal of the subsidy on petrol. According to a statement by the media aide to the President, Dr. Ruben Abati, the distortion to the President’s statement was again another deliberate misrepresentation of the comments of the President. The statement reads: “As has become the pattern by some

Kano reviews curfew From Kolade Adeyemi, Kano

FOLLOWING improvement on the security situation in Kano, Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, after due consultations with security agencies, has further relaxed the curfew imposed on the state. According to a statement signed by Halilu Ibrahim Dantiye, Director of Communications and Public Relations Strategy to the Governor, the curfew will start from 12 midnight to 6 am instead of the earlier 10pm to 6am, but it does not affect commercial motorcyclists whose curfew starts from 6pm to 6am.

Ahmed felicitates with Unilorin ASUU KWARA State Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed has felicitated with the newly-inaugurated executive members of the University of Ilorin (Unilorin) branch of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), under the chairmanship of Dr. Wahab Egbewole, Dean of the Faculty of Law. The governor, in a congratulatory message to the new chairman and members of the executive team, urged them to justify the confidence reposed in them by their colleagues. He enjoined Dr. Egbewole to bring his wealth of experience to bear as a former chairman of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) and the Dean of the Faculty of Law, to move the union forward and sustain peace which the university is known for.

political pundits, whose definition of opposition is to undermine any good policy initiative of the Federal Government, there has been a deliberate misrepresentation of the comments by President Jonathan at the 58th National Executive Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party on February 20 on the issue of reviewing the SURE programme. Hence, it has been alleged that the Federal Government has abandoned or is attempting to “truncate” the Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment (SURE) programme. At no time did President Jonathan say that the Federal Government has abandoned the SURE programme. What he said in his opening remarks at the PDP

National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting last week was that the full implementation of government’s palliatives to cushion the negative effects of the fuel subsidy removal as contained in the original SURE programme was no longer feasible and would be reviewed in view of the partial rather than full removal of the subsidy on petrol. “The SURE Programme was predicated on a policy of full deregulation as stated in the SURE document released to the public. However, due to widely publicised events after the commencement of full deregulation, the government, after series of negotiations with the organised labour, reduced the pump price of petrol. It therefore follows that the funds expected to accrue from full deregulation will no longer accrue since the policy

of full deregulation was stepped down for the time being. “This new reality informed the President’s directive that the original SURE programme documents already circulated to the public be withdrawn in order not to give the public false expectation. “The SURE programme has not been cancelled. What President Jonathan said at the 58th National Executive Committee meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party is as follows: ‘“We developed this with the expectation that we were going to completely deregulate the downstream sector of the oil industry, (after) the 100 per cent removal of subsidy... “We couldn’t achieve that though there was an increase in the price. I don’t want this to be distributed; it will give a wrong impression.’”

Kwara PDP threatens to sack liaison officers, others T

HE Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State has threatened to sack liaison officers and youth empowerment coordinators in the 16 local governments for incompetence. The party also said their involvement in activities in their constituencies, particularly regular attendance at ward meetings, would be a condition for retaining their jobs. The meeting, which was attended by the executive committee members, elders and stalwarts, agreed that political office holders must meet their constituencies continually. Senator Bukola Saraki, representing Kwara Central, said the party would not tol-

erate indolence and incompetence. He added that liaison officers and youth empowerment coordinators should interact with the people at the grassroots to find out their needs and inform the governor and party. The senator said since politics is about service to the people, positive impact must be made on their lives by ensuring that their yearnings and aspirations are met. His words: “Youth leaders should get in touch with the people at the grass roots and attend meetings in their constituencies. This is not nego-

tiable as the party will sack whoever performs below expectation. “As youth empowerment coordinators and liaison officers, you have to prove your ability. Remember, it’s a position of trust. It’s not because you are the best among your peers, but it’s the will of God, and don’t forget it’s not going to be permanent. Therefore, put in your best now that God has given you the opportunity. “In the same vein, strive to make the party and government programmes and policies popular among the people and find out the problems they are confronting so that the authority concerned could be made aware of this.”

Kogi seeks Fed Govt’s support on free trade zone K

OGI State Governor Idris Wada said yesterday that the state is set to float a free trade zone for investors to have a safe abode for their businesses. He said the government would ensure that all bureaucracies are removed to ensure a smooth business. Wada said this during a visit to the Minister of State, Trade and Investment in Abuja. According to him, the state has applied to the Federal Ministry of Trade and Investment for the establishment of

the free trade zone. He said: “The visit to the minister is to sentisise the ministry to direct investors to Kogi State. It has many opportunities in the area of trade and investment. The state is blessed with natural and mineral resources. “It has limestone, coal and arable land suitable for rice, sugar, cassava and other crops. The state government

is equally working with security agents for maximum security for any investor interested in coming to the state. “We will appreciate if the ministry can fast-track the process of establishing the free trade zone.” The Minister of State, Trade and Investment, Dr. Samuel Ortom, assured the governor that the process of the establishment of the free trade zone would be speeded up.

6 for judgment in the appeals against Governors Danbaba Suntai (Taraba) and Martins Elechi (Ebonyi) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The apex court fixed the dates after parties adopted their briefs of argument. The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) candidate, Senator Danlami Ikenya, is challenging the victory of Suntai of the PDP, while Senator Julius Ucha of the All Nigeria People’s Party (ANPP) is challenging the victory of Elechi. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) returned Suntai as winner of the April 26, 2011 governorship election with 361,176 votes against Ikenya’s 154,665 votes. Ikenya lost at the tribunal as Justice Luka Abba on November 10 last year ruled that “the petitioners (Ikenya and ACN) failed to establish relevant evidence to prove their allegations.” The Appeal Court sitting in Yola, the Adamawa State capital, last month upheld the tribunal’s verdict, striking out the appeal filed by Ikenya “for lack of merit.” His lead counsel, Festus Idepefo, told the apex court yesterday that the Appeal Court ruled in error by giving judgment in favour of Suntai without any reason.

From Kamarudeen Ogundele, Abuja

“Only the Supreme Court has the power to do that,” he said. He asked the court to order a retrial of the case by another appeal court. But the PDP urged the court to dismiss the appeal for lack of merit. The party urged the court to discountenance the argument that the election did not comply with the Electoral Act 2010 and 2011 Election Guidelines. Counsel to Ucha Mr. Rickey Tarfa (SAN) asked the apex court to declare his client the rightful winner of the election based on the minimal pleading. Counsel to Elechi Mr. J.O. Ibike (SAN) contended that the appellant failed to substantiate his allegation of non-compliance. He asked the court to dismiss the appeal as unmeritorious. The Supreme Court will, also on March 6, deliver judgment in an appeal by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its governorship candidate in Nasarawa State, Aliyu Doma. The appellants are challenging the April 26, 2011 victory of Governor Umaru Tanko AlMakura of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC).

NEWS Caverton Helicopters begins international operations CAVERTON Helicopters, one of the leading providers of aviation services to the oil and gas sector in Nigeria, will from next month expand its operational reach beyond the country when it will begin a five-year contract with the Cameroon Oil Transportation Company (COTCO). The contract, according to a statement, was won through a competitive bidding process and is the first international contract to be applied for and won by the company. Caverton Helicopters is a Nigerian company that started an intra-city helicopter service in Lagos in 2004 but has grown steadily into a dominant player in the oiland-gas aviation niche market. “This is a major leap for our company and for Nigeria,” said Mr. Remi Makanjuola, the chairman of Caverton Group. “As a company, it furthers our goal of becoming the premier offshore logistics service provider in subSaharan Africa. But it also shows increasing confidence in the competence of Nigerian companies and it aligns with the economic diplomacy advocacy of the Federal Government.” Under this contract, Caverton Helicopters will provide onshore pipeline surveillance and passenger transfer services to COTCO, a special venture for extracting and transporting crude oil from the Doba oil fields in Chad, a landlocked country, to neighbouring Cameroon via a 1070 kilometers underground pipeline that runs through three pump stations, a pressure reduction station, and an offshore export terminal. COTCO, owned by ExxonMobil, Chevron, Petronas of Malaysia, and the governments of Chad and Cameroon, is operated by ExxonMobil.

How to stop Boko Haram, by Niger governor •Aliyu urges Assembly to pass anti-terrorism law

IGER State Governor Mua’zu Babangida Aliyu yesterday said it would take a more effective leadership with character, courage and commitment to deal with the Boko Haram menace. He said security agencies need to be modernised to meet global challenges and benchmarks, while Nigerians must accept the country as theirs and always place national interests above primordial sentiments and loyalties. Noting that a lot of harm is being done to the economy due to the upsurge in violent conflicts, the governor urged the National Assembly to pass the anti-terrorism law to avoid what he called the embarrassment of taking terrorists to the Magistrate Courts and “offering them bails.” He was the guest speaker at the lecture organised by Business Hallmark newspaper at its public policy forum in Lagos. It had the theme: Governance, Social Conflict and the Imperatives of Communal Harmony. Other speakers include Prof Anya o.

Security agencies hunt for secret military bases

ECURITY agencies are hunting for more secret military bases of Boko Haram sect, it emerged yesterday. It was also learnt that the sect has continued with its suicide bombing because of the recent arrest of some of its key coordinators by security agencies. The latest suicide bombings were considered to be reprisals from Boko Haram. According to a top security source, security agencies have intensified hunt for more secret military bases of the sect in Yobe, Borno, Kano , Plateau, Kaduna , Gombe and some border towns in the neigbouring countries. The source said: “The Boko Haram sect is hurt by recent gains recorded by security agencies in arresting some of its key leaders and locating their operational bases. That is why they have adopted guerilla tactics to strike on targets, especially security agents. “Although security agencies were able to uncover some of their bases in Yobe State, they are trying to uncover more of such secret military bases in Borno, Kano, Plateau, Bauchi , Niger , Kaduna , Gombe and some border towns in some neigbouring countries. “That is why virtually every agency is restructuring its formations in these flashpoint states to be able to rise to the occasion.

“So far, they have been able to take advantage of the vast land in the North and rural settlements, including the arid areas in Borno and Yobe, to launch attacks. “But it is a question of time when they will be exposed. “Intelligence reports indicated that the Boko Haram insurrection can be curtailed once all these secret bases have been discovered.” Another source, who spoke in confidence, said the military structure of the sect is still intact. “I do not think their political structure is intact but their military structure is very much intact. “With the recent arrests, they have been rattled. Most of these Boko Haram members are willing to lay down their arms; they have been running from one end to another. They are equally afraid to give up because they can be killed. “What the security agencies are doing now is to uncover the military structure, which is spread across some states. It may take some time but the military structure will certainly be dismantled. “They have adopted guerilla tactics like the AlQaeda movement but all neighbouring countries like Chad , Cameroon , and Niger Republic are already cooperating with Nigeria .”

rations. “To achieve this, we need effective leadership with character, courage and commitment to take the hard, painful but necessary decisions particularly in a transformational political environment. It must be said that no matter the situation, we must not justify criminality on the basis of poverty.” For him, the government must address the problems of education, and invest in good

governance, free and independent electoral systems. Aliyu added: “The country can come out of the present predicament in which kidnapping, terrorism, drug trafficking, bombing and general insecurity have become the norm by waging a total war on corruption, establishing effective agency for social mobilisation and character reorientation, and entrenching principles of unity, progress and the rule of law.”

Bomb scare at Seme border By Oluwakemi Dauda

SEME, the border town between Nigeria and Benin, was thrown into panic yesterday following a bomb scare . Residents and traders around the Seme Customs office were said to have raised the alarm over some items suspected to be bombs placed on the nearby road. But it turned out to be a hoax when the items were checked by experts. Speaking with The Nation in a telephone chat yesterday, the Commissioner of Police in charge of Anti-Bomb Blast, Mr Ambrose Aisaboar denied the report. He said the story was fabricated by some mischief makers to create fear in the people. His words: ‘‘Around 4.a. m today (yesterday), my officer at Seme border was called that there was a suspected Improvised Explosive Device ( I D) along a major road in the area. ‘‘When my officer got there with his equipment, it was discovered to be a black nylon bag containing used cloth, two batteries, flexible wire and engine part of Peugeot vehicle.”

Durojaiye and Adebanjo said leaders must sit at a conference and discuss how best a modern nation-state can be built. “This was what the founding fathers of the United States did when the leaders of the initial 13 colonies converged on Philadelphia in 1776 to craft the American Constitution we have been mis-copying. “These issues are too many for the National Assembly to handle along with their busy routine schedules,” Durojaiye said. Adebanjo said sovereignty belongs to the people, and whatever is discussed at the national conference should be final. The resolutions, he added, will form the basis of “a Constitution that the people will confirm.” Omatseye said things are getting worse despite several “talks”, adding: “We seem to be talking not to talk.” He said while it will be difficult for the country to break up, it is import to find a consensus. “We are not settled on what issues are settled. We are so interlocked with each other that we need to discuss our terms of engagement,” he said. Omatseye questioned the motive behind the donation made by Central Bank Governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi to victims of bombings in his home state Kano, asking why the same gesture was not extended to other bomb victims elsewhere before then. “We tend to remember where we come from first,” he said, adding that citizens must solve the conflict of ethnic loyalties and their being a Nigerian. “That is the issue,” he added.

Fed Govt restates commitment to workers welfare

HE Federal Government has restated its commitment to provision of adequate social and industrial security for workers in all the states. Speaking at the opening of the new corporate office of the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSTIF) in Lagos, Labour and Productivity Minister Emeka Wogu, said government would sustain efforts at ensuring compliance with security of lives in workplaces. He said: “Government is committed to proactively prevent, intervene, reduce and monitor hazardous workplaces through competent statutory industrial relations intelligence services of the inspectorate department of the Min-

istry of Labour and Productivity.” “This administration aims at a zero-tolerance on workplaces accidents, injuries and fatalities and is determined to collaborate with all social partners and stakeholders to guarantee a cleaner, safer and healthier work environment to all workers. In view of this, the ministry is strengthening its internal units and deepening its intelligence network to ensure that workplace rights of Nigerian workers are not violated.” He spoke on the choice of Lagos, for the new corporate office citing the massive presence of industries in the state as reason.

“The opening of this corporate office here in Lagos is significant and symbolic in many ways. First, it is the first corporate office of the Fund after the re-constitution of its board. It is, therefore, instructive to note that the extension of social protection coverage has gone beyond the level of policy rhetoric to implementation and performance space. The choice of Lagos as a major commercial centre is equally historic and novel. As a former national capital territory, a Center of Excellence and the most industrialised state with the highest population density, Lagos is properly positioned to set the pace for others.” The event witnessed the presentation of N557, 800 by

Wogu, to injured employees of construction giant, Cappa and D’alberto Plc. The money was received on behalf of the workers by the company’s Human Resources Manager, Mrs. S.

FEDERAL High Court sitting in Lagos has ordered the Mobile Advert /Loading and Offloading Agency Limited (MOAN/LOAN) to wind up its operations. This followed the hearing of a motion ex-parte filed by Itohan Investment Limited against the agency by Justice C.E. Archibong. In a motion ex-parte filed by G.U Okorie for the petitioner, Itohan Investment said MOAN/LOLAN is a firm registered under the law with a share capital of N1 million to engage in mobile advert collection. The respondent averred that the agency has been owing it N5 million for the printing of National Clearance Certificate and has since refused to pay the debt. It argued that the respondent is now enmeshed in a leadership tussle to the extent that it could not pay the debt. It, therefore, prayed the court to wind up the agency and give such order as may be deemed appropriate by the court. In granting the prayers of the petitioner, Justice Archibong ordered that the agency be wound up. He also granted the petitioner’s leave to advertise the petition in two national daily newspapers.

Second phase of Ondo Mother and Child project kicks off •Mimiko inaugurates 50 tricycle ambulances

HE Ondo State Government yesterday inaugurated the second phase of its Mother and Child Hospital project in Akure, the state capital. It was part of activities marking Governor Olusegun Mimiko’s third anniversary in office. The project is aimed at reducing child and maternal deaths. The state was rated by the Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey in 2008 as having the highest cases of maternal and mortality. Mimiko said the first phase of the project was successful. He said the Mother and Child Hospital has become the busiest hospital in Nigeria. The governor said: “There is no other facility in Nigeria that offers free world-class

the project is the benchmark for maternal and child health in Africa and the developing world. Mimiko also inaugurated 50 tricyle ambulances. He said: “More tricycles would be deployed in every ward to ensure that immunisation gets to all nooks and crannies of the state. “Each tricycle would be fitted with delivery and first aid kits, and cold chain boxes. A tricycle would be attached to a health ranger to transport or evacuate patients in need of care from the community to the appropriate facility. Mimiko implored those who preferred to deliver in traditional homes and mission houses run by unskilled birth attendants to take of advantage of the free hospital, which are run by professionals.

Shamaki said the authority that issued exhibit 161 and 162 which were “certificates of no objection” to the contracts, had no power to do so because of the cumulative amount involved which exceeded the threshold. He said the power to issue such certificates, which actually is the power authorising contractual engagements whenever the amount

exceeds N50 million, is solely that of the Federal Executive Council (FEC). The contracts were lumped together making the funds much more than the threshold that the agency was authorised to award without approval from the FEC. Shamaki, had in an earlier testimony, said that the option of direct procurement which was adopted by the accused persons, was not necessary because there was no monopoly as there were other suppliers of the product.

Globacom is celebration of Nigerian best, says Alake

OR Alake of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Aremu Gbadebo, Globacom is the celebration of the nation’s spirit enterprise and the best it is made of. The monarch, who spoke in his palace yesterday at a news conference organised to kick start this year’s edition of Lisabi Festival sponsored by Globacom, noted that the Chairman of the company, Dr. Mike Adenuga Jnr. (CON), “has shown and copiously demonstrated that in Nigeria, we have capable hands that can make life more abundant and lively for the people.” Oba Gbadebo added that the giant telecommunications company in addition to sponsoring Lisabi festival has also supported the Girl Child Trust Fund, which forms the thrust of the festival for this year by

making huge capital commitment as its initial contribution to the project. “I am happy to announce that Globacom has taken over the sponsorship of Lisabi Festival. I therefore want to use this opportunity to call on all sons and daughters of Egbaland to patronise Globacom and buy and use its products because one good turn deserves another”, he said. The Egba paramount ruler who expressed concern over the rate of school drop among the girl-child in the kingdom, said that as part of the efforts to arrest the trend, “we are initiating the Girl Child Trust Fund to focus on the education of the girl-child and I also want to announce that Globacom, in addition to what it is

doing on the festival, has also made a donation of N2 million to the fund in the first instance and we encourage other corporate bodies to follow the examples laid by Globacom”. Oba Gbadebo added that the Lisabi festival which started in 1987, aims at celebrating the heroes of Egbaland and fostering enduring unity among the various sections of the kingdom. Speaking on the involvement of the National Telecoms Operator in the festival, the Globacom Business Director for Ogun State, Mr. Dare Oyewale, said the company would “do its very best to empower the people of Egbaland in their quest to remain strongly connected to their heritage.”

Wade, Sall set for rerun in Senegalese poll

NOFFICIAL results from Senegal’s presidential election suggest a tight race between incumbent Abdoulaye Wade and former Prime Minister Macky Sall. A source in the electoral commission has told the BBC that a run-off between the pair is “likely”, backing local media reports and Mr Sall’s comments. President Wade, 85, is seeking a third term in office despite serving a constitutional limit of two terms. Mr Wade was booed as he cast his vote on Sunday in the capital, Dakar. They could be heard shouting: “Get out, old man!” Mr Wade’s decision to stand again has sparked weeks of violent protests leading to about six deaths although polling day itself

was largely peaceful. Early reports indicate that Mr Wade and Mr Sall have each won between 20-35% of votes - more than any of the other 12 candidates. The electoral commission has yet to publish any provisional results, which are being announced by local media as they trickle in from polling stations. The commission says it will publish its first results today. Mr Wade lost in his own constituency in the middleclass Dakar neighbourhood of Point E, Senegal’s national APS news agency reports. Mr Wade’s spokesman Serigne Mbacke Ndiaye told the BBC he remained confident of a first round victory as the president is “well ahead”. But Mr Sall believes that

“a second round is inevitable, we have won the biggest departments in the country.” The 50-year-old geologist and mayor of the western town of Fatick also warned against rigging. Mr Sall, who is running for the first time, told the BBC that it would be “easy” to win in the second round, as he expected all opposition supporters to unite behind him. The BBC’s correspondent in Dakar says Mr Sall has been the only opposition candidate to run a real electoral campaign around the country, as other leaders struggled to mobilise people in street protests. If a run-off is confirmed, an “anyone but Wade” coalition could emerge behind Mr Sall, our correspondent says.

Iran’s crackdown on opposition escalates, says Amnesty

RAN’S crackdown on freedom of expression has dramatically escalated in the run up to this week’s parliamentary elections, Amnesty International said yesterday. Amnesty International said the continuing crackdown laid bare the hollowness of Iran’s claims to support protests in the Middle East and North Africa. “In Iran today you put yourself at risk if you do anything that might fall outside the increasingly narrow confines of what the authorities deem socially or politically acceptable,” said Ann Harrison, Interim Deputy Director of Amnesty International’s Middle East and North Africa Programme. “Anything from setting up a social group on the internet, forming or joining an NGO, or expressing your opposition to the status quo can land you in prison.” “This dreadful record really highlights the hypocrisy of the Iranian government’s attempts to show solidarity with protesters in Egypt, Bahrain and other countries in the

region.” =The report finds that in recent months a wave of arrests has targeted a range of groups, including lawyers, students, journalists, political activists and their relatives, religious and ethnic minorities, filmmakers, and people with international connections, particularly to media. Opposition leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi – defeated presidential candidates in the 2009 election – have been under de facto house arrest since February 2011. While Mehdi Karroubi’s wife was released in July 2011, Zahra Rahnavard, Mir Hossein Mousavi’s wife, remains under house arrest with her husband. In the run-up to parliamentary elections on 2 March, the situation has worsened. The clampdown has targeted electronic media, seen by the authorities as a major threat. In January a senior police officer said Google was an “espionage tool”, not a search engine.

Ogun strips Daniel of ownership of hotels, others ITING allegations that state funds were used to build the Golf Resort Hotels and Gateway Front Foundation, the Ogun State Government yesterday stripped former Governor Gbenga Daniel of the ownership right to the two facilities. The government revoked the Certificate of Occupancy (CofO) on Golf Resort Hotels, an imposing hospitality concern situated near the OkeMosan Government Secretariat. It also withdrew the C of O earlier granted to the Gateway Front Foundation. Accordingly, the government shall hold the affected property in trust for the public property. The revocation and confiscation followed a White Paper issued on the first report of the Judicial Commission of inquiry into all land allocations, acquisition, sale and concessions of government property and administrations between January 2004 and May 29, 2011. The government in the White Paper, accepted the recommendation of a special

committee that the Certificates of Occupancy of the Gateway Front Foundation and the Golf Resort Hotels owned by Daniel be revoked. The special committee, chaired by Deputy Governor Segun Adesegun, was mandated to look into the allegations that state resources were used to build the hotels. The White Paper stated: “The certificates of occupancy dated February 16, 2004 and registered as 4/4/69 according to the Government Gazette is hereby revoked. “The same goes for Certificate of Occupancy No 025591 and registered as 36/36/649 both allocations will be cancelled forthwith on the grounds that they were made in breach of public trust and the extant laws and regulations.” It was learnt that the government would not pay any compensation to the former governor, Messrs Gateway Front Foundation or Golf Resort Hotels Ltd, until the determination of the said allegations.

Besides, accepting the recommendation that the concession of Olumo Rock to RSL be halted forthwith, the government directed the Ministry of Culture to take over the management of the ancient socio–cultural and historical site. Also affected are the Gateway Ota concessioned to MIDC Ltd, the Apoje Farms concessioned to EGJAMIRAMAR Ltd, Remo Rubber Plantation concession to Oja Omo Agro Allied Limited and the Lomiro Oil Plantation concession to JB Farms. All concessions were cancelled on the grounds that concessions were not carried out in the public interest. “The present concession agreement is not in the interest of Ogun State, being onerous and one-sided and grossly exploitative and meant only to strip or plunder the state of its precious asset,” the government stated. According to it, the 60-year term granted for the concessionaire of Remo Rubber Plantation is grossly exploitative and not in the interest of the state.

FOREIGN NEWS Homs under fire as Syria repels revolt

Saleh hands ‘difficult phase’ over to new Yemen

YEMEN’s new president took over yesterday from Ali Abdullah Saleh, his predecessor of 33 years, saying the impoverished Arab state faced a “complex and difficult phase” after a year of violent political turmoil over Saleh’s fate. Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi took office after elections last week in which he was the sole candidate to replace Saleh, the target of mass protests that came to be matched by open warfare among rival wings of Yemen’s military and tribal militias. “We stand before a complex and difficult phase,” Hadi said at his inauguration, standing beside Saleh, who later handed him the Yemeni flag. “The Yemeni people who turned out in their millions for early elections have sent a clear message of their desire for security and stability and change for the better. Today...we receive a new leadership and we bid farewell to a leadership,” he added. The United States-backed power transfer plan was hammered out by Yemen’s wealthy Gulf Arab neighbors, eager to anti-Saleh protests that paralysed the country for most of 2011. Opposition parties that hold half the seats in a government intended to see the country through the writing of a new constitution before parliamentary elections in 2014 boycotted the ceremony, in part over Saleh’s presence, party figures said.

HELLS and rockets crashed into Sunni Muslim districts of

Homs that have already endured weeks of bombardment as Assad’s forces, led by officers from his minority Alawite sect, try to stamp out an almost year-long revolt against his 11-year rule. “Intense shelling started on Khalidiya, Ashira, Bayada, Baba Amro and the old city at dawn,” opposition activist Mohammed alHomsi told Reuters from the city. “The army is firing from the main thoroughfares deep into alleyways and side streets.” The London-based Syrian Network for Human Rights said seven people had been killed by shellfire in Baba Amro. It said three antiAssad activists were killed elsewhere in Syria. Opposition accounts of grim conditions in Homs were echoed by those from other observers, including the Red Cross. Crowds gathered in the sensitive Damascus district of Kfar Souseh, home to several security agency headquarters, to mourn three young men killed in a protest on Sunday, a witness said. “Only Allah, Syria and freedom” they chanted, instead of the officially sanctioned slogan “Only Allah, Syria and Bashar”.

Osama bin Laden’s Pakistan home reduced to rubble

AKISTANI authorities have reduced the house where Osama bin Laden lived for years before he was killed by United States commandos to rubble, destroying a concrete symbol of the country’s association with one of the world’s most reviled men. Workers completed the demolition job in the garrison town of Abbottabad in northwest Pakistan yesterday. The al-Qaida leader moved into the three-story house in 2005. Acting on in-

telligence gathered by the CIA, a team of US commandos flew in by helicopter from Afghanistan and killed bin Laden on May 2 before dumping his body at sea hours later. The operation left Pakistan’s army in the awkward position of explaining why it had not detected the US raid, and how bin Laden was able to live in the town without its knowledge. US officials have said they have

Nine killed in Afghan airport bomb A SUICIDE car bomber killed nine people in an attack on a military airport in eastern Afghanistan yesterday, officials said, the latest bloodshed since copies of the Qur’an were burned at a NATO base last week. There was no official indication the explosion at the gates of Jalalabad airport was linked to the deadly protests, but the Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack as “revenge” for the Qur’an burnings. Nineteen Afghan civilians and law enforcement officers and four NATO soldiers were wounded in the blast, a spokesman for the NATOled International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Nangarhar province, of which Jalalabad is the capital, said. Jalalabad airport is almost exclusively used by NATO and the United States military. Anti-Western fury has deepened significantly since

the desecration of the Muslim holy book at the main NATO Bagram air base in Afghanistan. NATO described the incident as a tragic blunder. The US Embassy warned of a “heightened” threat to American citizens in Afghanistan and many Westerners are on “lock down”, meaning they are not allowed out of their fortified compounds. Riots have raged across Afghanistan over the past week despite widespread apologies from US. leaders, including President Barack Obama and military commanders. Seven US military trainers were wounded yesterday when a grenade was thrown at their base in Afghanistan’s north. Chants of “Death to America!” have come to characterise the protests and

some demonstrators have hoisted the white Taliban flag. With few signs of the crisis abating, the US ambassador said the United States should resist the urge to pull troops out of Afghanistan ahead of schedule. “Tensions are running very high here. I think we need to let things calm down, return to a more normal atmosphere, and then get on with business,” Ambassador Ryan Crocker told CNN. “This is not the time to decide that we are done here. We have got to redouble our efforts. We’ve got to create a situation that al Qaeda is not coming back,” he said. Under an international agreement, foreign combat forces are due to leave Afghanistan by the end of 2014, a process which is already under way.

Russia, Ukraine foiled plot to kill Putin

ECURITY forces have uncovered a plot to assassinate Russia’s Vladimir Putin and have arrested suspects linked to a Chechen rebel leader known for other terror attacks, Russian state television reported yesterday. The report, which included televised confessions by two suspects, is likely to boost support for Putin as he seeks his third term as president in an election Sunday. Putin has portrayed himself as a strong protector of Russia’s national interests and has counted the victory over Chechen separatist rebels as one of the key achievements of his rule. The report casting him as a target for terrorists could draw public sympathy and help secure his victory by a wider margin.

Putin, who was Russia’s president from 2000 to 2008 and prime minister since then, is running for a third, now six-year presidential term. He is expected to win easily against four Kremlin-approved challengers, but an unprecedented wave of protests since December has undermined his image as a strong, popular leader. Channel One said the suspects, acting on instructions from Chechen warlord Doku Umarov, were preparing to kill Putin in Moscow immediately after Sunday’s election. It said the suspects were arrested in Ukraine’s Black Sea port city of Odessa after an accidental explosion January 4 while they were trying to manufacture explosives at a rented apartment.

found no evidence that senior Pakistani officials were in the know about bin Laden’s whereabouts. Mechanized backhoe vehicles and construction workers began pulling down the house on Saturday night, working under floodlights. An Associated Press photographer said yesterday the job was completed, save for a section of its boundary walls. The house stood less than

half a mile (one kilometer) from one of the Pakistan army’s top training academies. Authorities never allowed journalists inside the building, and starting from a few days after the raid stopped them from even getting close to it. Officials did not explain why the house was destroyed. Some residents of Abbottabad thought it should be a tourist attraction, although given the sensitivities surrounding the property it was hard to see the government developing it as one.

WHO SAID WHAT

‘The Federal Government has to create a conducive economic atmosphere that encourages development and that development includes industralisation’ VOL. 7

NO.2,049

COMMENT & DEB ATE EBA

HRISTOPHER Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, the departed Biafran leader whose remains the nation has been bidding farewell this past week, was prescient. Or, maybe, he made the most of his history tutorials at Oxford. He could have settled down in a cushy post in the administrative class of the colonial civil service and look forward to the day when he would become a permanent secretary of a major ministry, or perhaps even chief secretary to the government. He had all the right qualifications. He was born well, or to put in the language of contemporary Nigerian politics, he had “pedigree.” That is an unusual qualification to demand of persons seeking political office in a republic. Even more curious is the fact that the people administering the pedigree test have little or no pedigree to speak of. But I digress. Ojukwu had pedigree. His father Sir Louis Phillip Ojukwu, transport mogul, industrialist and produce merchant, was reputed to be the wealthiest man in Nigeria, if not in all of West Africa. He was an elected member of the Federal House of Representatives but reportedly turned his back on all that nonsense when a fellow member he regarded as a person of no consequence was given the floor before him. Emeka Ojukwu had the best education his own precocious intellect could absorb and his father’s money procure — the old CMS Grammar School and King’s College, public school in England, finishing up at Oxford. If he did not rock the boat too hard — there was no guarantee here, for he could be outspoken when occasion demanded, and generally did not suffer fools gladly — he would have attained the highest rank in the public service. But his prescience or his reading of history or both, supervened. The military had figured as major players in the affairs of many post-colonial societies in Latin America and Asia. Africa already had its own example of this phenomenon in Gamal Abdel Nasser’s Egypt. Ojukwu saw this as the shape of the future in Africa and wanted to be a player in that future, according to his biographer Frederick Forsyth. That explains why Ojukwu resigned from his post in the civil service and joined the Nigeria Army, one of the first five Nigerian university graduates to do so, in 1957. When General Ibrahim Abboud took over power in Sudan the following year to end the chaos in that country, he must have confirmed Ojukwu’s prognostications on the role of the military in Africa’s future. Further confirmation came literally for Nigeria’s backyard when, in 1963, Togo’s army overthrew the government of Silvanus Olympio, and again the same year when the army in Dahomey, as Benin Republic was then called, toppled the government of Hubert Maga. A “wind of “change” was blowing

•The late Ojukwu

over Africa, but not exactly in the manner framed so eloquently by British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan. It is not clear whether this was the kind of role Ojukwu envisaged for the military in Africa – supplanting elected officials and administering the state as if it were a barracks, or intervening as patriotic arbiter in the disputes convulsing the post-colonial state. But his opportunity came when the Nigerian military struck in January 1966, and he was posted to Enugu as military governor of what was then Eastern Nigeria. In design, the coup had no ethnic basis to it. In execution, however, it soon took on an ethnic coloration, spawning a “revenge coup” that culminated in the mass slaughter of Igbo resident in Northern Nigeria. As far as I can tell, it was Ojukwu, the student of

modern history, who first called it a pogrom, the term that would fix it in the public consciousness. From the pogrom, it was but a predictable step to demanding a loose federation, as in Aburi, and ultimately to secession when the Aburi accords were circumscribed. Finding himself the right person at the right moment, Ojukwu followed the path of historic necessity and rose magnificently to the occasion. His plumed military cap, his luxuriant beard a lá Fidel Castro, his commanding presence, his incandescent eloquence, and his mastery of the dramatic gesture, all combined to build him into a charismatic figure. He was the darling of the foreign press, when never tired of remarking his Oxford education. For the 30 months the civil war triggered by the secession lasted, Ojukwu personified the Biafran spirit – ebullient, defiant, resourceful, resolute, inventive, and resilient. But the odds against Biafra were daunting. By a master-stroke, General Yakubu Gowon’s Federal Government had on the eve of the proclamation of Biafra given the so-called Eastern minorities their own states. They saw that their stake in Nigeria was more assured than in Biafra. With the oil-producing areas in Nigeria’s hands, Nigeria held most of the diplomatic aces. And it had far more resources than the shrinking Biafra could mobilise. In retrospect, it is a wonder that Biafra lasted as long as it did. If the story had ended with Ojukwu in exile in Côte D’Ivoire, Ojukwu would have remained more myth than man. Desperate to advance the ruling NPN’s political fortunes in the East by checkmating Dr Nnamdi Axikiwe’s NPP, the

HARDBALL N February 23, this columnist wrote a scathing commentary on the doomed mission authorised by both the African Union (AU) and ECOWAS to resolve the Senegalese logjam then building up to some sort of crescendo before last Sunday’s presidential election. Headed by former Nigerian president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, the mission was to either mediate in the crisis fomented by President Abdoulaye Wade’s third term ambition or, failing that, to monitor the election. Wade, it will be recalled, had infuriated the opposition after he got the country’s constitutional court to endorse his right to contest on the grounds that his first term didn’t count because it came before the term limit was introduced. He had amended Senegal’s constitution in 2001 to limit presidential tenure to two terms. After judging the matter carefully, which this column said was quite unambiguous, Hardball concluded that Obasanjo lacked political integrity to lead a mission authorised by dubious continental prevaricators. Predictably, Obasanjo’s mission has ended in fiasco. He mediated half-heartedly because, as this column feared, he was himself not averse to tenure elongation or third term. His fundamental assumptions about democracy, rule of law and, in particular, third term put him in league with Africa’s ageing autocrats and antidemocrats. What Obasanjo opposed, Nigerians found out in 2006-2007, were the inconveniences constituted by term limit and the crises it spawned. But even this column was stunned by the ridiculous and unimaginative solution

GOVERNOR ROTIMI AMAECHI

Shehu Shagari government granted Ojukwu a pardon that freed him to return home to a triumphal welcome. But even the NPN was not prepared for the speed with which Ojukwu sought to establish himself as a force in the party. With his charisma and eloquence and antecedents, he could eclipse every NPN member of the Senate, and might even set his eyes on the Presidency itself. And so, the NPN rigged Ojukwu out of the election he had won to the Senate, which was just as well, for the Shagari administration collapsed after the poll, victim of its own “landslide.” Ojukwu tried his hands at magazine publishing, which would have served as an outlet for his ideas and the causes he cared about. The magazine, NewGlobe, collapsed after just one edition. He would later find his voice as a delegate to the Constitutional conference that Abacha set up to avoid coming to terms with Moshood Abiola’s emphatic victory in the June 12, 1993, presidential election. Ojukwu had been elected conference delegate with some 124 votes, but he would claim that the conference’s mandate was superior to that of June 12. There is no denying, all things considered, that Ojukwu was a great man. But great men make great mistakes, and Ojukwu had his fair share. Among them would have to be counted the attempted invasion of Lagos that was halted at Ore, and the proclamation of the former Midwestern Nigeria as the “Republic of Benin.” The puppet “republic” lasted 33 desultory days and inflamed local sentiment against Midwest Igbos. Plunging headlong into the treacherous waters of Second Republic politics instead of staying regally above the fray, at least for a while, would have to be counted a misjudgment. That act made Ojukwu a divisive figure instead of a rallying point. His roaming the world as envoy of the thieving and murderous Sani Abacha must be judged an act of self-stultification. But let no one put Christopher Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu down as an ethnic warlord or as a mere secessionist leader. He was to the very end eloquent advocate of a Nigeria that is just and caring and humane and progressive and truly federal. The ideas he pressed with such consummate skill at Aburi for actualising such a Nigeria live on. Under his dynamic leadership, Biafra gave the world inspiring intimations of what black humanity can attain under the right conditions. •For comments, send SMS to 08057634061

•Hardball is not the opinion of the columnist featured above

Obasanjo didn’t disappoint in Senegal proffered by Obasanjo when he met with Wade and the opposition in Senegal. President Wade proposed that once he won the election he should be allowed to spend three years out of the (second) seven-year tenure. The opposition, however, proposed one year out of the seven. The sort of despairing compromise that occurred to Obasanjo, the self-professed unbiased mediator, was to recommend that Wade be permitted to spend two more years. What of the abhorrent principle of tenure elongation? Knowing full well that his mediatory role was like tilting at windmills, the former Nigerian president simply immersed himself in the more inoffensive but nugatory role of observing the election, which he told the media was free, fair and peaceful. To their shame, the election is likely to end in a run-off between Wade and former prime minister Macky Sall. It is, however, clear that Africa’s unconvinced democratic rulers took us all, idealists and theorists, on a fool’s errand. They knew that in their hearts, if given the chance, they would love to do what Wade did. They were not opposed to tenure extension; they were only opposed to the consequent breakdown of law and order. Here is a signal lesson for Nigerians. Having sold himself as a champion of democracy, Wade amended the constitution to provide for a limit of two terms of seven years duration without warning his country that he could in

future seek to profit from the new arrangement he was proposing. His country trusted him, as some Nigerians myopically and naively believe that once President Goodluck Jonathan got the chance to amend the 1999 constitution to provide for a seven-year single term, he would, as he promised, not seek to profit from it. Senegalese are today ruing their mistake. Hear one of them, Ibrahima Thioub, chair of the history department at Senegal’s largest university: “What Wade is trying to do is completely contrary to the history of Senegal. Everyone is frustrated by his attitude. If he were to leave now after two terms, we would build a monument to him. Instead he’s in the process of burying his own memory – and the history of our country.” Even outsiders are no less mystified. Said French journalist, Gilles Delafon, who wrote Wade’s biography: “He’s a paradox. He built his career around the idea of being the legitimate democratic opponent. And yet here he is after he finally arrived, nullifying everything he spent years fighting for.” Obasanjo didn’t disappoint us in Senegal. Nor if we are smart should we ever trust any Jonathan to amend Nigeria’s constitutional term limit. Term limit is not our problem. But couldn’t AU and ECOWAS have looked for a better person to send to Senegal to mediate? Is the continent so bereft of true leaders and democrats?
