2018. This was probably due to many investors waiting for the conclusion of national elections and handover in the first half of 2019,’’ she said. She explained that major announcements were from Royal Dutch Shell Plc, with 10 billion dollars in crude exploration and Moroccan OCP Group’s plan to build a 1.5 billion dollars ammonia plant in three states. The executive secretary noted that there was joint venture contract between Malaysian partners and Nigerian oil companies, First Exploration and Petroleum Development Company Limited worth $901.79 million. She said the contract was

for the exploration of crude oil at the Anyala and Madu oil fields located in Niger Delta, approximately 40 kilometres offshore Bayelsa state. Sadiku said there were announcements from Netherlands which accounted for 66 per cent by value, followed by Morocco at 14 per cent, and Nigeria at nine per cent. “The report also showed that mining and quarrying sector accounts for 81 per cent, manufacturing sector is 14 per cent, and finance and insurance is two per cent. “The major destination is the Niger-Delta region with 77 per cent, followed by Ondo State at seven per cent, including Lagos state at four per cent of the value announced,’’ she said. She said that the NIPC’s

Intelligence Newsletter publishes Nigerian investmentrelated news culled from various sources. She said that the report was based only on investment announcements cited in NIPC’s Newsletters from January to June 2019. According to her, it may not contain exhaustive information on all investment announcements in Nigeria during the period. Sadiku said nevertheless, the report gives a sense of investors’ interest in the Nigerian economy, asserting that “NIPC did not independently verify the authenticity of the investment announcements but is working on collating the announcements as they progress to actual investments.’’

Edo speaker drags NASS to court over move to take over functions

The Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly, Francis Okiye, on Wednesday, filed a suit stopping the National Assembly from taking over the state assembly’s functions at the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja. In an originating summon and a motion on notice for interlocutory injunction with suit number: FHC/ABJ/ CS/815/2019 filed by the speaker and the state’s assembly, the plaintiffs asked Justice Nkeonye Maha to restrain the National Assembly from going ahead with its plans pending the hearing on the matter. The suit was instituted against Mr. Mohammed Sani-Omolori, the Clerk of the National Assembly (first defendant), and the National Assembly of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (second defendant) on July 17. News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the state’s seventh assembly was inaugurated in controversial circumstances on June 17, when nine out of 24 members-elect

during inauguration elected Okiye as the speaker around at 9 p.m. However, besides the House of Representatives that threatened to take over the assembly should Governor Godwin Obaseki fail to issue a fresh proclamation for the assembly’s inauguration recently, the Senate had, on Tuesday, passed a resolution giving the governor a week to issue the proclamation letter or risk the takeover of the state’s legislature. The matter, which was brought before Justice Maha on July 23, was adjourned until July 31 for hearing since the parties were yet to be served. However, the lead Counsel to the plaintiffs, Ola Olanipekun, SAN, on Wednesday, told the court that after the defendants had been properly served as ordered by the court, the Senate on Tuesday, July 30, still went ahead and passed a resolution for the takeover of the assembly if the governor fails to comply with its resolution.

He explained that the defendants, through their lawyers, had on Tuesday served the plaintiffs a counter affidavit to their motion and written address and also filed a memorandum of conditional appearance. He said it was disheartening that despite that the governor had already issued a proclamation which was duly gazetted officially and that the members of the state assembly L-R: Ologbotsere of Warri, Chief Ayirimi Emami; Olu of Warri, HRM Oghiame Ikenwoli; Vice Pesident had duly been inaugurated, Yemi Osinmbajo; and Secretary to the Government of Federation, Mr Boss Mustapha, during the visit of principal members elected Warri Traditional Rulers led by the Olu of Warri to the Presidential Villa in Abuja...on Wednesday and the house has since been performing its functions, the federal lawmakers directed Obaseki to issue a fresh proclamation. The judge adjourned the case until August 7 to enable the complainants respond to the counter affidavit and written address filed by lawyers to the National Assembly. The judge however, asked the parties to respect the sanctity of the court as the matter was still pending in court.

Insecurity: Buhari plans to rejig security architecture IMN suspends Our Reporter

President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday hinted on possible changes in the nation’s security architecture with a view to reinvigorate and reenergise security agencies in the ongoing fight against terrorism and violent crimes in the country. The President gave the hint when he received traditional rulers from the South West zone of the country, led by the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. Buhari told the traditional rulers that already he had recently directed a reshuffle in the army where Lt.-Gen. Lamidi Adeosun was promoted and deployed as the army’s chief of policy and plans. According to him, the government will continue to effect more changes in the army, where necessary, so as to boost the morale of the nation’s troops engaged in various security assignments across the country. “I believe you are aware that there is a reshuffle in the army, including the promotion and deployment of Lt.Gen. Lamidi Adeosun as the Nigerian Army’s chief of policy and plans. “This is done in order to reinvigorate and re-energise our troops to do more. There will be further reviews where necessary for maximum performance,’’ he said. The President said as the traditional authorities in their communities, government and the security agencies would be relying on them to monitor the several different communities and people coming in and out of their areas. “Let me be very clear about our firm resolve to change the security architecture of Nigeria. It is one of the top priorities for this government but we won’t be able to achieve this goal without the support and input of you, our royal fathers. “We hope that, for instance, traditional rulers will be able to observe new entrants into the community by requesting leaders of such ethnic groups to notify the traditional authorities of new intakes, thereby

creating the opportunities for the gathering of actionable intelligence which tracks such movements in and out of communities thereby offering early warning signals,’’ he said. The President also assured the traditional rulers and the entire nation that his administration would enforce the law, prosecute law breakers and secure an atmosphere of tranquillity for all Nigerians where ever they choose to live and also protect communities from all forms of crimes. “This is both in our interests as an administration and the interests of the people who voted us into office,’’ he said. Buhari maintained that the government needed security to deliver on its many programmes to the people, saying “there can be no prosperity if there is no security. “This is not only a message of hope but a call to action to all of us as we seek ways to secure our country’’. He warned that the Federal Government, on its part, would deal decisively with anyone caught fomenting acts of criminal activities by every means necessary, adding that “we intend to deal severely with those evil Nigerians inciting violence for political ends.’’ The President also outlined some of his administration’s interventions to check the activities of terrorist groups, banditry and kidnappings in the country. He said these interventions include an “expedited commencement of community policing, a robust revamping of police intelligence gathering capacity and the significant boosting of the numbers of security personnel in our local communities. “This in specific terms will include recruiting a lot more police officers and doing so right from their local government areas, where they will train and station them in the best practice of community policing”. According to him, the government will equally continue to bring in the military when needed to complement the work of the police including possible deployment of troops on certain highways on a temporary basis.

Buhari He stated that the government would also encourage the use of the Air Force assets to bomb hideouts where criminals are located. While admitting that these measures were inter-related and have to be well coordinated, he stressed that “the speedy implementation of community policing will facilitate a more effective collection of intelligence. “This is especially in the area of a more useful and effective intelligence gathering process that traditional rulers will play some of the most critical roles,” he said. The President assured the traditional rulers that his administration would continue to partner with the state governments in equipping the police to check cases of insecurity across the country. He said: “Working with the state governments we intend to beef up the equipping of the police force with advanced technology and equipment that can facilitate the work of the security agencies.” The President disclosed that he would be issuing directives to the appropriate federal authorities to speedily approve licencing for state governments requesting the use of drones to monitor forests and other criminal hideouts, “We also intend to install CCTVs on highways and other strategic locations

so that activities in some of those hidden places can be exposed, more effectively monitored and open to actionable review. As a government, we remain committed to the ideals of our democracy, particularly entrenching the rule of law and the sanctity of life. “We will enforce the law, prosecute law breakers and secure an atmosphere of tranquillity for all Nigerians wherever they choose to live and also protect our communities from all forms of crimes. This is both in our interests as an administration and the interests of the people who voted us into office. “We need security to deliver on our many programmes to the people. There can be no prosperity if there is no security. This is not only a message of hope but a call to action to all of us as we seek ways to secure our country. “On our part, as the Federal Government, we are ready to deal decisively with anyone that is fomenting this spate of criminal activities by every means necessary. We intend to deal severely with those evil Nigerians inciting violence for political ends,” Buhari said. Earlier, Ooni of Ife, as well as other traditional rulers with him had individually appraised the president with security challenges they were facing in their domains and called on him to support their efforts in addressing the issues.

Buhari, APC jittery over collapsing defence at Appeal Court- PDP Cautions against any plot to frame Atiku

Tunde Opalana, Abuja The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has noted with dismay the statement by the All Progressives Congress (APC) ‘warning’ the people’s candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, against making comments on the state of the nation and that his patriotic reactions to pressing national issues amount to a felony. The PDP said that Atiku Abubakar’s comments on national issues have been patriotic and within his constitutional right of freedom of speech, not only as a citizen of this Federal Republic, but also a former Vice President, as well as a leader and Presidential candidate of the PDP, the party that commands the followership and solidarity of overwhelming majority of Nigerians. The spokesperson of PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement on Wednesday, said National Working Committee (NWC) of the party boldly stated that none of the statements made by its presidential candidate

falls within the realm of felony in anyway whatsoever. According to him, intelligence available to the PDP largely posits that the threats against Atiku Abubakar emanated from certain persons around the Buhari Presidency who are jittery that President Muhammadu Buhari’s defence is collapsing at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, for which they have become desperate to use underhand methods to stop Atiku Abubakar. The PDP urged Nigerians to note that the renewed allegations against Atiku Abubakar came after a witness told the court, as has been publicly reported, that the Army never required any enlisted officer to submit his WAEC certificate, in total contradiction to claims that Mr. President’s certificates were in the custody of the Army. The party counselled the APC to rather get ready for justice instead of seeking ways to frame Atiku Abubakar on flimsy and unconstitutional grounds, while it reminded the APC

that while the PDP was in power, it never gagged the APC and its leaders, including President Buhari, from exercising their freedom of speech and freedom after speech, in line with our laws. “We note that General Muhammadu Buhari issued over 160 statements while he was in the opposition, including inflammatory remarks like the one that called on his supporters to take their fate in their own hands. It is instructive to note that none of the PDP administrations threatened General Buhari over such comments. “Furthermore, it is quite disturbing that the APC is attacking Atiku Abubakar for commending British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, for appointing 39 years old Nigerian, Kemi Badenoch, as a minister in his cabinet. “Contrary to President Buhari’s projection to the world that Nigerian youths are lazy and should not be given active role in governance in our country, other nations are finding accommodations for our youths. Atiku

Abubakar cannot, but commend such world leaders, no matter whose ox is gored. “It is also instructive to note that the APC has further shown its disdain for the Nigerian youth as being demonstrated by President Buhari, whose cabinet has no place for our youths. “Instead of attacking Atiku Abubakar for standing for our energetic and focused young men and women, the expectation of Nigerians is that APC will accept its failures and advise President Buhari against total disregard for young Nigerians”, said the party. Furthermore, the PDP queried the reference by APC to President Buhari as a “sitting” President, saying that “what Nigeria needs at a time like this is a working President, not a President that sits down while the country becomes the world headquarters of poverty; not a President that relaxes in an arm-chair while insecurity festers and our economy continues to nosedive to the extent that Ghana has overtaken our nation as the number one recipient for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in West Africa.”

The Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), popularly known as Shittes, has announced the suspension of their regular street protest to call for the release of their leader, Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, from detention after the Federal Government banned the group’s activities. This is coming five days after a Federal High Court in Abuja ordered the proscription of the IMN, following their clashes with security operatives. The group in a statement by its President on Media Forum, Ibrahim Musa, said that said the movement suspended the protests in good faith and out of respect for eminent people and groups, whose input in the resolution of the problems appears genuine. While expressing hope that the matter surrounding the detention of El-Zakzaky would be resolved amicably, the group explained that the suspension of its street protests was to “allow for some new openings into the resolution of the problems, especially the court case instituted by our lawyers on the proscription order made by the Federal Government this week.” According to the statement which was made available to journalists on Wednesday, “It has taken this step in good faith out of respect for some eminent people and groups, whose input in the resolution of the problems appears genuine and we sincerely hope an amicable way could be found to solve the crises surrounding the illegal detention of our leader for almost four years now.” “If at all any protests occur anywhere in the country, it might be this notice hasn’t reached those in the field or this message is misunderstood or it is some security agents who are mischievously behind it as they have been doing in an attempt to smear our image and be seen as unruly people rather than as victims of savage oppression since 2015.” “The Islamic Movement wishes to thank both national and international civil rights activists and organisations who have been busy demanding the protection of our fundamental human rights as enshrined in the constitution.” “We also thank the press, both national and international, and the social media activists for the full coverage of our activities throughout the struggle for justice.” “We are committed to exploring the new openings we have seen in resolving this protracted issue. We, therefore, reiterate our demand that our leader, his wife, and several others in detention be given their freedom denied to them since 2015.” The Daily Times recalls that Justice Nkeonye Maha-led court designated the activities of IMN organisation in any part of Nigeria “as acts of terrorism and illegality.” Also, the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu reaffirmed IMN’s proscription just yesterday saying, the group will henceforth be treated as terrorists.

N’East records 21,000 cases of measles in 7 months Records 100 deaths

States in the North East part of Nigeria recorded no fewer than 21,011 cases of measles with 100 deaths in the past seven months. A survey by News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) indicated that while cases were recorded in Bauchi, Borno, Yobe and Gombe states, officials in Adamawa and Jigawa said no such cases were recorded in their states. In Borno, where the highest number of cases was recorded, officials said security challenges in the state made it difficult to address the situation. The Director of Borno State Primary Healthcare Development Agency, Sule Mele, said 18,204 measles cases were recorded in the state from January till date, with 93 deaths, mostly children. He attributed the outbreak of the disease to inability of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) to access healthcare services due to the ongoing conflict between security forces and Boko Haram insurgents. Mele, a medical doctor, noted that there was high prevalence of the disease in ‘trapped’ communities due to the lack of access to vaccination. He added that the lack of access to crisis-prone areas was a major obstacle militating against effective response to the disease. According to him, the primary healthcare agency has, however, scaled up activities to enhance surveillance, case management, laboratory services, social mobilisation and vaccination in some affected areas in spite of the challenges. He said: “We were able to conduct reactive vaccination for children between the ages of nine and 18 months in the affected areas. “Arrangements are on for the conduct of a country-

wide measles response to enhance coverage of the routine immunisation in communities and IDPs’ camps.’’ Yobe, another flash-point of conflicts between security agents and the insurgents, recorded 2,675 cases of measles, with seven deaths, the acting Disease Surveillance and Notification Officer (DSNO), Haruna Umaru, in the state said. He said that “from January 2019 till June 2019, we received reports of 2,675 cases of measles, with seven deaths from the 17 local government areas in the state”. He, however, added that the situation had been controlled by the Rapid Response. Umaru said whenever there was report of communicable disease in the state, the Rapid Response Teams swung into action. On its part, the Bauchi State Government said it recorded two cases of measles in some communities sharing border with Yobe State. However, Bakoji Ahmed, the State Immunisation Officer (SIO) told NAN in Bauchi that those infected were from Yobe State. He added that “the communities affected are in Yobe but share border with Dambam Local Government Area of Bauchi State. “The only reason we accepted them is because they receive healthcare services and immunisation in Bauchi State.’’ The officer explained that the state government was not taking chances as it had intensified monitoring through its Emergency Operations Centres (EOC). Ahmed said the EOC was being used to monitor signals and coordinate outbreak response across the state. In Gombe State, the

Gov Zulum Epidemiologist in the Ministry of Health, Nuhu Ville, said 130 cases of measles were recorded from January till date, but no life was lost. Ville, a medical doctor, said most of the cases were detected in Gombe and Dukku local government areas of the state, but were treated and discharged. According to him, the laboratory for measles test for the entire North East region is located in Gombe, and whenever there is a suspected case, test is conducted immediately and treatment commences. He said there were 570 healthcare facilities across the state, each with surveillance officers who notified specialists’ hospital of such cases for appropriate actions. Adamawa State and neighbouring Jigawa State, however, had no case of the disease, as claimed by officials in those states. The Spokesperson of the Adamawa State Ministry of Health, Abubakar Mohammed, said “so far, there are no cases recorded in the state. “No case recorded so far but precautionary measures are in

place to prevent any form of public health outbreak. “Emergency Operation Centre is active. Our Disease Surveillance System is also very active; the state rapid response team has been on high alert in case of an outbreak.’’ Mohammed also said the ministry and other stakeholders were not relenting in enlightenment campaigns on the need to accept immunisation as a precautionary measure. In Jigawa State, the Executive Secretary of the state’s Primary Healthcare Development Agency (JSPHDA), Kabir Ibrahim, said no case of measles had been recorded. He said routine immunisation against the disease, as well as efforts by the state government, traditional institution and relevant stakeholders, all played great roles in tackling the issue. The executive secretary said the agency, in collaboration with other stakeholders, were intensifying efforts to ensure that the state remained measles-free. He further explained that the agency was doing its best toward educating the people on the need and importance of routine immunisation.

Suicide: Public health experts call for increased mental health education Motolani Oseni, Lagos

Public Health experts have called for increased mental awareness and education to help reduce rising cases of depression and suicide in Nigeria. They made the call while speaking across various platforms on recent suicide cases in Nigeria, suggesting actions to reduce occurrences. Dr. Chinomso Egemba, a global health advocate who works with Avon medical practice, in his latest opinion piece titled “Protecting Nigerians from Dichlorvos, how about protecting mental health,” identified depression as a major cause of suicide. Egemba described depression as a medical condition, a psychological state of unhappiness or low morale, which lasts longer than several weeks. It may include ideation of self-inflicted injury or in extreme case, suicide. According to Egemba, depression is usually caused by a decrease in the level of serotonin, a chemical in the brain, which serves as a contributor to feelings of well-being, and happiness in human. She, therefore, advocated for increased awareness and education from the government and the private sector. “We have to call on the bodies responsible which includes the government to increase the level of mental health awareness in Nigeria and set up toll-free lines and counselling centres across the nation so that people battling depression can call or visit for help,” Egemba advised. In her remarks on another health programme, another expert, Dr. Chioma Nwakanma, a public health advocate and digital media strategist, during a recent interview on Eko FM, Lagos said common health problems such as depression and anxiety affect one in four people and it may not be easy to notice. “Many people still find it very difficult to discuss issues of depression and mental health.

That may mean that many people keep their feelings about having a mental health problem a secret, even from family and friends,” Nwakanma lamented. However, as a means for recourse, Nwakanma called for increased care from friends and family of susceptible persons who may be having depression or any other mental case. “These are times to support each other and help those who are not coping well to get the needed help. Family members must be deliberate in monitoring each other, to pick up unusual behaviour or attitude, which may be signs of depression and quickly call them out to medical attention. In all, more care should be given to people who are showing signs of emotional trauma or depression”, she stated. Meanwhile, Dr. Tajudeen Abiola, a neuro-psychiatrist with the Federal Neuro-Psychiatric Hospital, Kaduna, while speaking on Liberty FM Kaduna, advocated for deliberate education and awareness programme to increase the awareness and level of understanding around what constitutes mental health issues. By this, friends and families may quickly identify the indicators and take the necessary steps. “Everyone in the community can help prevent suicide risk by learning about the warning signs and how best to respond effectively. It may not be to figure out if someone is at risk of suicide, however, the warning signs may include: excessive worrying or fear, extreme mood changes, avoiding friends or social activities, changes in sleeping or eating habits, difficulty perceiving reality, changes in behaviour and personality, substance abuse and thinking or always talking about suicide”, Abiola said. It would be recalled that recently, there has been an increase in reports about suicide among young people in Nigeria, mostly occasioned by depression.

....Buhari sat for Cambridge moderated exam - WAEC registrar Continued from page 3

came out with aggregate of 32 and he was awarded Grade 2. Under cross-examination by the petitioners’ lawyer, Livy Uzoukwu (SAN), Adewunmi was asked if exhibit R19 was a certificate and he said “I cannot say whether it is a certificate because my signature is not on the certificate. It is not bearing my name or the name of my organisation.” Questioned again, the witness repeated that “this document is bearing the name of Cambridge University Assessment International Education,” but asked if the document was issued by WAEC, he said “it is not a document from the West Africa Examination Council.” Asked about exhibit R 21(Cambridge Moderated Examination), he said “this is the foundation; the primary foundation for issuance of a certificate.”

The witness was also asked if the document was a certificate and answered thus: “This is not a certificate. I have never worked with the University of Cambridge.” In his bid to point out contradictions in the two documents, the petitioners’ lawyers asked the witness to compare the number of subjects listed against Buhari in them. The witness confirmed that in R 21, “the number of subjects listed against the second respondent (Buhari) is eight and in R 19 six subjects.” He also confirmed that the first name on the two documents was Mohamed as against the President’s current name Muhammadu, just as he confirmed that WAEC Registrar, Dr. Iyi Uwadae, issued a WAEC attestation certificate to Buhari on November 2, 2018. Adewunmi disagreed with the petitioners’ lawyer that

issuance of an attestation certificate was not limited to cases of loss or misplacement. The fifth witness was Mohammed Sarki Abba, a senior special assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari. Under cross examination by the INEC counsel, he admitted that Buhari has always addressed Nigerians in English Language. While being cross- examined by Fagbemi (SAN), he said he has known Buhari for over 30 years and that he has seen Buhari’s picture both old and new. He identified Buhari in the picture that was tendered before the tribunal. Abba said it was a graduation picture of Buhari in his school in Katsina. In reference to the discrepancy noticed by Uzoukwu on the name of Muhammadu Buhari on his Cambridge University Assessment document which bears Mohamed and that contained on the list of

subjects he sat for, which bears Muhamad and his present name Muhammadu, the witness answered Fagbemi that “there is no difference in the names Mohamed, Muhamad and Muhammadu. They are used inter-changeably.” On his part, the witness confirmed to Atiku’s counsel that he has never worked with the Nigerian Army. Also, he admitted never being a schoolmate of Buhari and was not his classmate, admitting that depositions in his statement on oath were gathered from Buhari’s curriculum vitae. He confirmed that the photograph was not a certificate, and that Buhari’s curriculum vitae were one of the documents from where he gathered his facts. Abba confirmed that no certificate was mentioned or attached to the curriculum vitae, just as he confirmed that Buhari’s primary school

leaving certificate, WAEC certificate and officer cadet were not attached in the form he submitted to INEC. The sixth witness was Mohammed Usman Kwatu, a retired broadcaster. Upon cross examination by INEC, he admitted being a ward collation agent, whose responsibility was to ensure that collation of results was done in accordance to guidelines. He said other agents from other political parties were present and that at the end of collation, there was no disagreement. Ibrahim Bawa (SAN) cross examined Kwatu on behalf of the APC. Kwatu admitted that results that came to the ward collation centres were results from the polling units, adding that “there was no incident of over voting in my polling unit as voters were accredited with card readers.” The witness was also cross examined by Atiku’s counsel.

Usman Dagona was defence witness number seven, a businessman, who served as a ward agent for APC in Karu Local Government of Nassarawa State. He told the tribunal that he was satisfied with the voting materials sent to the polling unit. He said the card readers were used and voting was peaceful and that all party agents were present, and equally signed the results sheet. Under cross- examination by Uzoukwu, the witness said he cannot remember the number of registered voters in the unit. Also, he told the tribunal that he could not recollect the result polled by each political party at the unit. At this point, Buhari’s lead counsel, Olanipekun (SAN) pleaded for an adjournment, which the tribunal Chairman, Justice Mohammed Garba granted. Further hearing continues on today.

Majority party can’t take all in National Assembly – Enang Says Buhari will inaugurate cabinet when he’s ready

Tunde Opalana, Abuja Senior Special Assistant to the President on Legislative Matters (Senate), Senator Ita Enang has commended the leadership of the National Assembly for displaying fairness and maturity in the composition of standing committees of both chambers. Acknowledging equitable distribution of committee chairmanship and vice chairmanship across party and geopolitical zones, he said workings of the National Assembly does not encourage “winner takes all” mentality in the distribution of offices and positions. Addressing the press on Wednesday at the National Assembly, Enang while reacting to the allocation of 49 committee chairmanship slots to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and yielding 20 slots to the main opposition, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said cordiality and synergy among legislators, irrespective of party affiliations is required for national development. He said lawmakers are not guided mostly by the interest of their political parties, but national interest as they shed the toga of party once they are inaugurated as members of the National Assembly. Enang commended the Senate President and the Speaker, House of

Representatives for their magnanimity in making the committee appointments a “win win” situation. When asked why the President did not attach portfolios to ministerial nominees for effective screening, Enang said there is no constitutional stipulation for doing so. He said that “you are saying that the President should have attached portfolios. Am sure from 1999 - 2000 this question has been asked. And so this question has been asked for the past 20 years and it is under the 1999 Constitution and the constitution says that the President shall appoint persons as ministers subject to confirmation of the Senate. “The constitution did not oblige the President or a governor to attach a ministry or a portfolio in his nomination to the legislature. The reason is this, the candidate is screened and cleared as a minister; he is not cleared as a minister of education or minister of health or industry. “And of course, portfolios may change and the structure of government may not be the same as it were. Again, when a minister is screened and cleared, he is assigned a portfolio, it may arise in the course of his assignment the President or the governor may decide to reassign him to another ministry. “At that time, if you assign and the person is screened and in respect of that

portfolio, which means the President may have to send the name again back to the Senate for screening or for confirmation. That is why the constitution did not make it mandatory to assign portfolio while sending it to the legislature. Therefore, the President has not done anything wrong.” The presidential aide said President Buhari has assented to two bills, the Federal University of Agriculture, Zuru, Kebbi state and the Architect Registration Council of Nigeria (Amendment) bills. In signing the Federal University of Agriculture Zuru into law, he said “it is converting the Federal College of Agriculture, Zuru to a full -fledged university with all the powers and authorities of a university, with all the principal officers of the university from the chancellor down to the staffers and from the date thereon, there is now an established the Federal University of Agriculture, Zuru in Kebbi state.” Also, he said that the Architect Registration Council of Nigeria amendment bill has also been assented to, adding that “what the bill is about is that it has increased the fine or penalty from the N1, 000 it used to be to N500, 000 in appropriate places and generally, enhanced the power of architect registration process. So this bill is now law and it is an offence to go against it.”

Short News Boko Haram: Borno governor urges monarchs to return home

Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno state has directed the Shehu of Dikwa, Shehu Masta and that of Bama, Umar Ibn El-Kanemi, to return home following the return of peace in their domains. Gov. Zulum gave the directive in Maiduguri at a meeting with local government chairmen, officials of the Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) and officials of the Borno state Local Government Service Commission. Director of Press, Government House, Maiduguri, Ndahi Sawa made the disclosure in a statement on Wednesday. The governor asserted that the relocation would help fast track resettlement and restoration of civil authorities in communities liberated from the Boko Haram insurgents. Zulum also directed the commission and board to order teachers and workers to relocate to their respective duty posts across the state. ‘‘The secretary to the state government should write to the Shehu of Dikwa and that of Bama as custodians of the people, culture, tradition and religious values, to relocate to their respective emirates alongside district heads and title holders whose responsibilities are critical to the affairs of the councils. “The relocation of traditional rulers, local government staff and teachers is critical to the people residing at the grassroots. If displaced persons could return to their homes; I see no reason why traditional rulers and council officials could not do so. ‘‘We have reached a stage where we must take our destiny in our hands,’’ Zulum said. He urged the board and commission to ensure compliance with the directive and evolve effective monitoring system to check truancy and indiscipline among workers. The governor said the government would set up staff verification committee to verify local government workers, noting that government would continue to pay salaries until the exercise is concluded. He warned local government officials against arbitrary recruitment of workers without clearance from the state government. It would be recalled that the Shehu of Dikwa, Abba Shehu Masta and his counterpart of Bama, Umar Ibn El-Kanemi, relocated to Maiduguri after been sacked by elements at the peak of Boko Haram insurgency in 2012. Similarly, local government workers had been operating from the state capital in spite of the resettlement of displaced persons in the affected communities in the past one year.

Ascertain true ownership of Eastern Palm University, Panel tells Ihedioha Val Okara, Owerri The seven-man committee inaugurated by Governor Emeka Ihedioha of Imo state to investigate the status of newly established tertiary institutions in the state by the immediate past administration has advised the state government to institute a judicial panel of inquiry to ascertain the ownership and funding of Eastern Palm University, Ogboko in Ideato South council area of the state. The committee also recommended the university be turned into a campus of the Imo state University, Owerri, housing the faculties of management and social sciences. Chairman of the committee Prof. Jude Njoku said that the institution, although recognized by the National Universities Commission (NUC) as the second state university with an acting vice chancellor and a governing council should not be allowed to operate as a full -fledged university in view of the lean resources of the state. The committee stated that the site of the university was acquired by the state government and full compensation was paid to the land owners by the state government. Prof. Njoku, who was former commissioner for education in the state, discounted that Eastern Palm University has 28 programmes out of which only two were functional. He disclosed this while briefing newsmen on the findings and recommendations of his committee, saying that the committee is equally of the view that both the Imo state University of

Agriculture and Environmental Science, Aboh/Okpala and the University of Science and Technology, Umuna should remain campuses of the Imo state University, Owerri. According to the committee, the University of Agriculture and Environmental Science, Aboh/Okpala would be the campus for agriculture and veterinary medicine while that of Umuna would be for engineering as earlier conceived by the laws establishing the Imo state University, Owerri. Prof. Njoku, also said that the committee first invited and interacted with all the key actors in the process of establishing the institutions which included members of the project implementation committee set up by the immediate past governor of the state, those appointed vice chancellors, rectors and provosts of the affected institutions. “The committee found out that all the universities have enabling laws enacted by the Imo state House of Assembly, while it was only Bishop Shanaham among the polytechnics that had such enabling an law,” adding that the committee visited all the tertiary institutions involved for an on-the spot assessment of facilities and structures on site. He noted that the state government in future may wish to upgrade these campuses to full -fledged universities and polytechnics as the need and resource might dictate and permit. Also, he recommended the termination of the appointments of all the vice chancellors, rectors, principal officials and members of the governing councils of the newly established institutions while all the properties belonging to such institutions should be recovered.

As Ohordua gets king, a new dawn begins

Fredrick Idehenre

To many sons and daughters of Ohordua Kingdom, and her friends from across the globe, against the milieu of her recent history, Saturday 27th July, 2019, marked a phenomenal transition of kingship reign from father to son. About 500 years of existence, the predominantly agrarian community of Ohordua, located in Esan South-East Local Government Area of Edo State, that boarders Ika people of Delta State, had patiently awaited the presentation of staff Of office to her 19th monarch, traditionally referred to as Onojie. The Edo State governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki was ably represented by his Commissioner for Local Government and Community Affairs, Hon. Jimoh Ijegbai. His eminence the Oba of Benin Kingdom, Oba Ewuare 11 also pulled his spiritual weight behind the event by the presence of three of his senior chiefs, including Chief Ebose Okoboh, the Efeobasota of Benin kingdom. The Esan South-East Local Government Chairman, Hon. Victor Emuakhagbon; Police Chief, AIG Dr. Wilson Akhiwu; Barr. Patrick Ibomhen, President of a forefront indigenous Association of Ohordua Sons and Daughters (AOSAD); and a number royal personages from across Edo State were amongst dignitaries that graced the occasion. By dictate of the Edo tradition of primogeniture, His Royal Majesty Stephen Oribhabor Ailuogierio 1, now sits in the place of his late father, HRM Matthew Oribhabor Aikpaojie 11 (2010 - 2015), as king of Ohordua Kingdom. Though a traditional institution, real constitutional authority of the monarch, according to the Traditional Rulers and Chiefs Law,1979, resides with the State. Bearing no dissenting voice, upon the return of the crown Prince by the immediate family members of the ruling house, as ratified by the traditional king makers (as obtains

among the Edo people and a few other autonomous communities that practice premogeniture across parts of the world), the Staff of Office is presented by the State. This will have been foreshadowed by a letter of appointment from the Governor. With this, the monarch is entitled to statutory benefits from the State, as his office would have been gazetted. He is also once able to partake in other social State functions as may be required of him time to time. The State also reserves the right to withdraw the staff of Office in the event of a considered infracture by the monarch. Trouble began for the people of Ohordua in August 2002 when their Onojie HRM Burns I. Aikpaojie Oribhabor 1, suddenly ended his mortal residency. According to reports, Prince Ailabogie, regarded by a few as the first son of the deceased monarch, had returned from his overseas abode in his quest to be crowned as the next king. The Prince would meet a stumbling block posed by interpretation of tradition, which either failed to recognise his sonship of the king or admit his seniority to his brother Prince Ailuogierio, also known as Matthew. Prince Ailuogierio, born of a different mother, was instead regarded as the Crown Prince. Explained, it was said that when Prince Ailabogie was born, the royal family was not duly informed so as to signal a strict adherence to the traditional rite due a Crown Prince. They insist that “ede na bi Ogie khole arhen ogie (a king is recognised or known from the day he was born). Thus Prince Ailabogie was unknown to the royal family. On the contrary, the traditional rights was said to have been performed at the birth of Prince Matthew, who, by a dint of fate, grew up around the palace more than Prince Ailabogie who was

very itinerant after having observed his early education in Ohordua. However, at the passage of time, in what appeared to be a twist of fate, the late monarch developed a paternal consanguinity with Prince Ailabogie, who had also become very affluent. This may have signaled the issues that followed. While core adherents to the culture and tradition of the Esan people, key members of the royal family and a few laities would have Prince Ailabogie crowned only at their last breath, the liberals insisted that the time had come for Ohordua to enthrone for herself a monarch that possessed a relative high exposure to Western education and a cosmopolitan agility akin to the 21st century ruler. To this group, which chiefly comprises the elitist youths, the view point of the former was antithetical to the development of Ohordua, as Prince Ailuogierio had little to offer. The debate however continues in quarters. When the law eventually took its full course in court in 2010, after several failed mediation attempts by VIPs of Ohordua extraction and the then incumbent Governor Mr. Lucky Igbinedion, Prince Matthew Ailuogierio Oribhabor received a favourable judgement from the State High Court causing his enthronement by the Adams Oshiomole-led government. With expected vehemence, Prince Ailabogie has since contested the enthronement of his younger brother as king over him in the court of public opinion. He has maintained that “Prince Ailuogierio is my father’s third child and second son. I am the oldest and succession to the throne is by the oldest surviving son” At the demise of HRM Matthew Oribhabor 11, on 23rd December, 2015, old scars had definitely been bruised. It leaves to reckon that the youthful monarch, HRM Stephen Oribhabor

Ailuogierio 1, at the full assumption of the throne come next Saturday, would require the combined wisdom of his forebears and his teachable demeanour, to steer the Ohordua ship that has sailed in troubled waters for about two decades since his grandfather departed to eternity. Whether the principal dramatis personae keep up with trading blames on who is responsible for the pains of the past, an incontrovertible fact lurks there was a dark day in Ohordua! That day of needless hostilities that lends renewed credence to John Pepper Clark’s poem “The Casualties”, in which the literary icon argues that the boundaries of those who bear the incidence of war is infinite. The Casualties of war, he says, are not “only those who are dead; not only “those who are led away at night”; they include those “outside the scenes of ravage and wreck”. They include those Ohorduans who reside abroad but have their umbilical cord heated up by the fire of the fury back in their native land. To consolidate on the gains of peace recorded so far would require a further concerted effort by well meaning sons and daughters of Ohordua. This, ofcourse, will require a deeper grasp of the issues and the symptoms they have presented. A conscious reconciliation process between all aggrieved parties, chiefly Prince Ailabogie, the seven component villages, all aggrieved families and individuals would be none negotiable. The present Staff of Office Planning Committee, with necessary adjustments, seem better placed to take up the pious responsibility of post Staff of Office event reconciliations - with reconstruction of minds and institutions as integral aspects. It remains to say: Omokhaibho! Long live the Onogie of Ohordua, Long live the peaceful people of Ohordua.

Buhari’s new cabinet: Matters arising

Carl Umegboro

PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari recently unveiled the identities of his new cabinet without delays as witnessed in his previous tenure. As usual, the action met mixed reactions. Whilst a fraction gave commendation particularly for its right timing, others carped claiming the list neither met their expectations nor reflected optimism chiefly for retaining most members of his earlier cabinet with only few fresh names from his party. Incidentally, appointment of ministers is an exclusive duty of the President albeit subject to confirmation by the Senate as provided in Section 147(2) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended – “Any appointment to the office of Minister of the Government of the Federation shall, if the nomination of any person to such office is confirmed by the Senate, be made by the President”. However, the President can only have a productive administration with a proficient team that shares his vision. Thus, competence cannot be overemphasized. Nonetheless, competence is not one and only factor as unity of purpose is requisite. But by the way, why does a President need ministers and what qualities must be found in a nominee for the position? A nominee for ministerial appointment must beyond other qualities have managerial capacity to spearhead and coordinate an organization effectively. Possibly, this formed the basis for opting for scores of former governors with good scorecards. Invariably, coordination

and supervision of a ministry including all agencies, parastatals and statutory bodies under it for efficient operations of the President are the essential tasks of ministers. However, these tasks are no child plays. In other words, a minister is essentially, the President’s eyes; overseer in a ministry who ensures that all policies of the government are carried out efficiently. A minister is therefore President’s reliable representative that coordinates, supervises all activities in a ministry and reports directly to the President. Apart from managerial skill and competence, trust is indispensable. If not, partisanship could frustrate the administration. Perceptively, the drafters of the Constitution understood that a President may not flow effectively with some ministries vis-à-vis policies of the government if left under the watch of Permanent Secretaries who may pitch their tents in another political party. Yes, civil servants are lawfully free to identify with any political party of their choice as provided in Section 40 CFRN; ruling party or oppositions, as a fundamental right provided it doesn’t interfere with official duties. Section 40 provides, “Every person shall be entitled to assemble freely and associate with other persons, and in particular he may form or belong to any political party, trade union or any other association for the protection of his interests:” So, imagine a Permanent Secretary that belongs to an opposition party heading a ministry; certainly, it will

be catastrophic in service delivery as partisanship might play out. Thus, office of the minister aptly exists to remedy such scenario. On appraisal, there is no cause for alarm. Nominees’ scorecards convincingly show capacity. Probably, some had expected a number of names from some global institutions like the World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF) etc. Admitted, such prospects are not bad ideas. However, the progresses made by Buhari’s previous administration deserved acknowledgements, and reengaging most of the teamwork demonstrates the government is principally concerned in service delivery against ‘turn-by-turn sharing of national cakes’ that used to be the pattern in the past. And significantly, most of the new ministers are evidently, sufficiently proficient in their respective careers. Without prejudice, the retained ministers avidly put in their best in the previous administration. Thus, Buhari’s decision acutely reflects astuteness. On attainment, no one needs to be reminded that by this time during Chief Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration, sadly when public schools were facing continuous strikes, Obasanjo and his vice, Atiku Abubakar were doing competition on who builds the biggest private universities. Yet, every now and then, lengthy open letters are released to disparage the government on how insecurity and other vices thrive in the polity. How wouldn’t the society

face such crisis when education wasn’t given its deserved priority by previous governments? Again, it is noteworthy that since Buhari came on board in 2015, not even one politician including from his ruling party or cabinet has been awarded a national honour as recklessly, lavishly done annually in the past. All these critically attest to a paradigm shift; seriousness and focus of the government to restructure the country for common good and not for frivolities. Even the usual periodic purposeless reshuffle of cabinet merely for compensating politicians is so far a history. Thus, a benefit of the doubts is judiciously vital. Let criticisms be clothed with value and sense of responsibility. Opposition must not be overstretched to acrimony. Otherwise, even where criticisms are germane, the points may not scale through. Politics therefore should remain intellectual pursuits for power as in other climes. Optimistically, by willpower, teamwork and continuous conscientious actions, next level is feasible. At this juncture, interest must shift to means of engaging over 100,000 fresh graduates that yearly join the existing high percentage of job-seekers in the labour market against few employment opportunities but end up roaming the streets. Possibly, curriculums may be reviewed to take into account skill acquisitions and self-development as remedies. This critically demands brainstorm as panacea to rising security challenges.

Zamfara to spend N4.5bn on 613 new classrooms, others Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara state, says his administration is ready to commence the construction 613 new classrooms in public primary schools across the state. Matawalle said on Wednesday in Gusau that the construction would be carried along with other projects in the state. According to him, the other projects include the renovation of 342 classrooms and two VIP toilets, in each of the benefiting schools. He said, 14,810 desks and chairs, as well as 962 teacher tables and chairs would be supplied to the public primary schools; while 12 ICT centers would be constructed in some selected areas of the state. “For all these earmarked projects, we have set aside the sum of N4.5 billion, because l have now made it a policy that no contract will be awarded if we do not have 100 per cent of the project sum at hand. “This is to enable the contractor to immediately mobilise to site and for the

state government to pay up immediately after the completion of the project so that at the end, we will not be indebted to anyone,” he said. While speaking on contractors that would be handling projects in the state, the governor maintained that “all our contractors will henceforth be locally sourced, even the building or other project materials must be bought from our state based traders. “Let me tell you, even labourers. l will not condone a contractor who will engage labourers from Gusau to Bungudu, if the project is in Bungudu, he must get his labourers from Bungudu. “We will add to the responsibility of the state Road Transport Agency (ZAROTA), to stop and arrest any building or project materials, being supplied for government contracts. “And if our traders have such materials, we will sanction the contractor,” he said. He explained that the measure is aimed at empowering and boosting local economy.

OUR POSITION

FG, state police and matters arising The clamour for State Police has heightened in recent months mainly due to the inability of the regular police and other security agencies to deal squarely with the rising insecurity in the country. Recall that the call for an autonomous state’s police reached its peak recently when the media misconstrued a mere directive of Mr. President to three man committee to study a report submitted to the presidency on Special AntiRobbery Squad and produce a white paper, to mean the establishment of State Police. Far from it, though, the presidency has since clarified it statement as a merely setting up a committee, but the clamour for state police has not abated. In fact, until the lingering vexed issue of insecurity is properly addressed, we cannot wish away the creation of state police. We are aware that as it stands now, several impediments are on the way of state police. First, is the lack of will power on the side of Federal Government to decentralise policing and give the states/ governors police’s inherent coercive powers for obvious political reasons. But can the vulnerable citizens of our nation remain prey to kidnapers, arms bandits, robbers, terrorists, assassins, rappers, thieves and victims of communal clashes forever, just for the simple reason that creating an establishment to address these unlawful activities will empower political opponents?. Second, the states are ill-prepared to shoulder the responsibilities associated with the funding of an autonomous police, their rhetoric of “give us a state

police” notwithstanding. Recently, the Chairman of Governors’ Forum, Governor Fayemi of Ekiti State, made it clear that the state governments are financially constrained to fund state police, adding that some are financially handicapped to pay workers salaries. If really that is the position, the country must seek alternative source of funding for the State Police. We believe that the Police Trust Fund Bill which received the approval of the Senate of the 8th National Assembly in April this year, can be revisited by 9th National Assembly at least to expound its scope to include funding for state police. Importantly, we must amend the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) and remove policing from exclusive list. It is also important to address its funding and control. These are essential because the tasks before the Nigeria Police are enormous. Presently, the military are engaged in police duties in almost all the 36 states of the federation. The implications are not only telling on the military’s core duty but militarising the society will take decades of sustained efforts to correct. We therefore plead with the Federal Government quickly give its nod for establishing of state police by states that not only desire it but can operate and fund it in line with constitutional safeguards to avoid misuse. We believe that with the coming on board of state police in states in addition to the efforts of the federal Police –the Nigeria Police Force, the upsurge in crime will nosedive.

Buhari restates commitment to ending Apapa gridlock President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed concern over the persistent gridlock in Apapa, Lagos state. The President made his feelings known when he received the leadership of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Wednesday. He however, expressed optimism that the problem would soon be resolved as the federal and Lagos state governments were working together to bring an end to the problem. “I must admit the Apapa gridlock still remains a challenge. It saddens me that businesses have had to suffer as a result of this. We are doing our very best working with the Lagos state government to bring an end to this issue,’’ he said. Buhari also reassured Nigerians that his administration would continue to support the private sector to flourish and create more jobs in the country, revealing that the federal government has invested heavily in infrastructure development, and also supported development banks to provide loans to traders and small enterprises. “In the last four years, we have invested

heavily in infrastructure development. We supported our development banks to provide loans to traders and small enterprises. “We signed executive orders to support local content consumption. We also focused on enhancing the ease of doing business to facilitate investment,’’ the President added. He said that his administration also aligned with the monetary authorities which have significantly contributed to the successes recorded. On the recently signed African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA), Buhari said the consultative approach Nigeria took on the free trade agreement was just another example of government’s desire for sustainable and inclusive growth. He said that the consultative team had visited all the geopolitical zones, and met with farmers, commodity traders, manufacturers, bankers and stock brokers, adding that “we listened and made note of their views. Our studies revealed that although, the services sector was doing okay, other key job creating sectors such as manufacturing and processing were still lagging behind. “This is evident by the fact that intraAfrican trade only accounts for 14 per cent

of Africa’s total trade. As a continent, our consumption is mostly of goods imported from outside the continent. “We viewed this as both an opportunity and a threat. It is an opportunity as Nigerian manufacturers can aggressively expand to meet the huge demand across the continent. “It is a threat as one can abuse the rules of origin to flood the market with imports from outside the continent, thereby destroying jobs here at home.’’ He however, said that Nigeria’s engagement in the next phase of the negotiations would ensure that proper safeguards were put in place to support African manufacturers. “We shall continue to count on your support to ensure this goal is achieved,’’ he added. Earlier, the President of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Babatunde Ruwase commended the President for signing the AfCFTA. He also requested that the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry, which he described as the oldest in the country, be regularly invited to “state functions that are business and economy related.’’

Short News Buhari applauds Boris naming UK-born Nigerian as minister President Muhammadu Buhari has commended the appointment of Olukemi Olufunto Badenoch, a United Kingdomborn Nigerian as minister of children and families by the new British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson. In a statement by the President’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, in Abuja on Wednesday, the President described her appointment as “well-deserved”. President Buhari urged the 39-year-old to regard her new position as an opportunity to justify the confidence reposed in her by making lasting impact. He stated that he has no doubt that Badenoch would succeed given her academic qualifications and parliamentary experience and also enjoined the junior minister to see herself as an ambassador of her fatherland in conduct and performance. According to the President, Badenoch’s appointment is a plus for Nigerians in Diaspora, adding that “it further confirms my belief that with hard work and integrity, Nigerians can excel in their chosen professions and fields of endeavour anywhere in the world.” The President while also applauding Prime Minister Boris Johnson for finding Badenoch suitable wished her success in the new challenging role.

Zamfara assembly calls for suspension of N4.9bn road project

The Zamfara state House of Assembly Committee on Works and Transport has called for the immediate suspension of the N4.9 billion road project linking Mada-Wonaka-RuwanBaure communities in Gusau Local Government Area of the state. The committee, led by its Chairman, Alhaji Yusuf Anka made the call after an unscheduled visit to the project site. A statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the assembly, Malam Mustafa Jafaru-Kaura, made available to newsmen in Gusau on Wednesday, said the visit was part of the committee’s oversight functions. The project is being executed by Syndicate and Commercials Nigeria Limited and was awarded by the immediate past administration of Alhaji Abdul’aziz Yari. Anka expressed displeasure with the snail speed at which the project was going for over three months, even though the contractor had collected over N1 billion as mobilisation which represents 40 per cent of the total cost. The lawmakers directed the contractor to appear before the committee immediately, to explain the delay and alleged poor quality of the job executed. “The sixth assembly will not fold its arms and watch public funds being mismanaged or wasted. I am using this medium to warn contractors handling different projects in the state to work in line with the contractual agreement and to ensure good and quality jobs,’’ he stressed. Earlier, the project engineer from the state Ministry of Works, Bashir Galadima lamented the abandonment of the project by the contractor.

Boko Haram: FG to take delivery of Tucano fighter jets in 2020

The federal government has reiterated its determination to continue to procure sophisticated weapons to keep the nation’s military in good fighting shape, saying the country will take delivery of Super Tucano fighter jets in 2020. A statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, in Abuja on Tuesday night, said the fighter jets, expected from the United States would be deployed in checking terrorist activities in the country. He said that “while the military arsenal is not something you pay for and get, requiring mostly long-time orders, weapons will come in accordance with the terms of contracts. “This country is expecting the commencement of the delivery of Super Tucano fighter jets, very effective in this kind of warfare beginning next year from the United States.’’ Shehu, who lauded the efforts of the armed forces in suppressing the activities of Boko Haram and other terrorist groups in the country, described as fantastic the recently launched super camps by the military. According to him, the essence of this is to

act proactively and respond quickly to the changing nature of terrorism, stating with delight that the Buhari administration has made the country safer than it met it in 2015. “The position of the Nigerian government is that the Boko Haram terrorism has been degraded and defeated. The real Boko Haram we know is defeated. At the moment, the Nigerian government under President Muhammadu Buhari has made the country safer than it met it. “In 2015 when he took power, Boko Haram terrorism was active in nearly half the number of states in the country. They controlled a territory the size of Belgium, with a flag and system of administration and taxation of their own. “Emirs and chiefs had fled their domains along with hundreds of thousands of ordinary citizens. Such is no more; they have been taken from them,’’ he further observed. Shehu added that at present, terrorist activities have been confined to the remote, rural agrarian areas of Borno state and pockets of outrages in Adamawa and Yobe states. He disclosed that the administration has

embarked on an ambitious electronic/digital border monitoring scheme to curtail the porosity of the nation’s borders. The presidential aide revealed that the government was also working with the UN agencies, the World Bank, the Islamic Development Bank, donor agencies and friendly countries towards addressing the problems created as a result of the activities of the terrorist groups in the affected areas. “A few weeks ago, the administration inaugurated the North East Development Commission to fast track development and poverty eradication in the affected areas. “The Buhari administration is strongly encouraged by successes recorded so far by our armed forces and the MNJTF, and is optimistic that in the same way as our military defeated the Boko Haram, so would the ISWA terrorism be defeated,’’ he added. The Super Tucano is a durable and flexible aircraft designed for counter-insurgency and close air support roles. It can also be used for reconnaissance missions in low-threat environments and for pilot training, and is capable of operating from unimproved runways.

The Bauchi state Governor, Bala Mohammed has identified aggressive tree planting as the immediate and long term practical solution to environmental challenges, describing trees as important elements in controlling desert encroachment. Gov. Bala made the assertion on Wednesday when he flagged of this year’s tree planting campaign with the theme: “Planting for reclamation” held at the Bauchi state University, Gadau. The governor regretted that Bauchi state is being faced with environmental challenges which include drought, desertification, erosion and floods, asserting that “the combined effects of the problems in environment have led to significant loss of agricultural lands. It has also affected the sources of livelihood and general well- being of the citizens.” He assured that this year’s tree planting campaign will not stop at planting trees only, but will re-enforce public enlightenment, massive distribution of seedlings across the state and protection of the existing forest estates. Gov. Bala added that the tree planting exercise will henceforth be a continuous one as his administration will work tirelessly to ensure that necessary requirements are provided for the campaign. He said his administration will improve seedling production in all the nurseries across the state in addition to providing all working tools that will be needed to patrol and protect environment from degradation and destruction. “As part of measures to ensure forest estates and environment are kept intact and better, all laws and regulations guiding the tree planting campaign would be reviewed to go in tandem with the current environmental challenges,” the governor stated. He therefore, directed the local government caretaker chairmen to replicate the exercise in their respective council areas in order to help combat desertification in the state. Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Environment, Alhaji Ahmed Zalanga pointed out that the campaign is an annual event set aside to enlighten citizens on the importance of planting trees as a solution to numerous environmental challenges facing the country. Zalanga who applauded the efforts of Gov. Bala towards combating desertification and other environmental challenges said thousands of assorted seedlings have been procured for distribution across the three senatorial districts of the state.

5 North West governors meet in Short News Buhari to address Global Youth Forum in Katsina over insecurity Abuja today

Governors of Kaduna, Kebbi, Sokoto, Katsina and Zamfara states are to meet today in Katsina state to strategize and strengthen efforts in tackling security issues in their states. Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara state, who made the disclosure in Gusau, said the five governors will review the various approaches so far taken at individual state levels with a view to fine tuning, re-strategizing and strengthening them for enduring peace. “This measure has already received the blessings of President Muhammadu Buhari, who is pleased with the gradual attainment of peace in Zamfara state under my leadership. “The peace and reconciliation initiative I introduced in Zamfara state has yielded good results which earned us commendation from the President because in the last one month, the state only recorded one attack where sadly, one person was killed. “This peaceful approach is expected

to take centre stage at our discussion during the meeting because it is a known fact globally now that through peaceful process, a lot can be achieved,” he noted. Gov. Matawalle, who was one time the chairman House of Representatives Committee on Security, explained that he has brought some of the experiences he acquired from that committee to bear on the Zamfara state situation. “We met with the dreaded Boko Haram members in Borno state and peaceful agreed on the release of some innocent captives, in return for the release of some of their members in custody which paved the way for the 2015 general elections. “In Zamfara state too, the peace initiative which is being headed by the Commissioner of Police, Usman Nagogo agreed on a ceasefire with the bandits and they have been releasing the innocent persons in their captivity. “Unlike during the last administration in the state where N1million was given on every recovered gun, we did not give room

for such or any other condition and it has successfully worked. This is why President Buhari assured us of his support. “You know however, serious the federal government is in tackling security in any state, if the state government is not serious, it will not succeed. And this is exactly, what led to the failure of the past administration in Zamfara state in the fight against armed banditry and other crimes. “At the moment, all the markets that were hitherto shut have been reopened and if you recall, traders used to leave markets on market days as early as 2pm for fear of attack and kidnapping, now they stay up to the night, yet they get home safely because of this effort,” Matawalle added. Zamfara state which has been in the news in the past due to armed banditry, kidnapping, cattle rustling and other violent crimes now enjoy relative peace. Roads, villages and markets that were virtually taken over by the bandits have now reopened and resumed normal activities.

Plateau confirms 2 communities have endorsed ranching Kingsley Chukwuka, Jos The Plateau state government came out yesterday to clarify its position on the grazing reserve controversy in the state, saying that what is being adopted by the government is the ranching pilot scheme freely endorsed by the communities of Wase and Kanam Local Government Areas of the state. The state government said that the idea was mooted by the two councils and as such it had no choice, but to adopt scheme as the pilot in the state. Director-General of the Plateau Peace and Building Agency (PPBA), Joseph Lengmang disclosed this at a peace architecture dialogue programme held yesterday in Jos. Lengmang said that the session was a component project of consolidating the mechanisms for sustainable cooperation and transformation of the farmer/herder conflict in Plateau state. According to him, stakeholders at the event include media practitioners, civil society organizations and government representatives who deliberated on the proposed National Livestock Transformation Plan as a pathway to resolving the seemingly

intractable herder/farmer conflict in the state. He added that the objective of the engagement was to sensitize the media as well as galvanizing support towards the dissemination of accurate information with a view to curtailing negative narratives on the proposed implementation of ranching in the state. Pastoralism, the director-general observed is a profession associated with a particular tribe in the country that cannot be ignored, adding that there have been wars of identity in the world emanating from the initial teething problems like Nigeria is facing now. Categorically, he said that grazing is not yet a government policy in Plateau state, adding that what is obtainable in the state is a plan, pointing out that government would discourage open grazing gradually, but not radically and abruptly. “Nobody is going to take over anybody’s land. No stranger will do that. The pilot scheme is only going to be tested in two local government areas of the state which are Wase and Kanam. “When the idea first came, it was ridiculously believed that Plateau elites would connive with the government to sell out Plateau state. This is a figment of the

fertile imagination of the authors to think that way. It is not possible,” he assured. Contributing to the discussion, a veteran journalist, Sylvanus Namang, posited that the N10 billion allegedly given to the herdsmen in the North East should also be stepped down to Plateau state to benefit. Namang added that the Fulani people need education and enlightenment so that they do not see cows or cattle as inheritance and not a commercial venture, adding that “they need to be educated. They are suffering inwardly and their cows too are suffering. We should help government in implementing this programme. We should assist government so that we can move forward.” The state’s representative to the the Livestock Transformation Plan, Prof. John Wade, said that the state government has the responsibility of protecting lives and property of its citizens, saying that policy is just a kind of intention. Prof. Wade added that competition for meagre resources always lead to conflicts because people will hold on to the little resources they have, saying that any attempt to tamper with that will be resisted by stakeholders.

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila has advised journalists and media practitioners to focus more energy on investigative journalism. Gbajabiamila gave the advice while addressing journalists in the National Assembly on Wednesday in Abuja. He observed that “sometimes you see screaming headlines, but the body of the story has no relationship with it,” adding that some reports attribute such stories to anonymous sources and in most cases, the stories are inaccurate. The speaker therefore, urged journalists to report whatever they see whether positive or negative about the National Assembly, saying that there is the need for accuracy and truth in the joint task of nation building by the government and the media. Gbajabiamila promised to work with the media for the development of the nation by providing basic facilities and the enabling environment for the practitioners. He said that there would be major reforms in the House which might hurt some individuals, but the media should report objectively as it would be for the ultimate good of the country. Earlier, the Chairman of the House of Representatives Press Corps, Mrs. Grace Ike, congratulated Gbajabiamila on his emergence as speaker and commended him for appointing four members of the press corps as members of his media team.

30 opposition parties in Bauchi tell NASS to honour court order Samuel Luka, Bauchi

About 30 political parties in Bauchi state under the umbrella of the Coalition of Progressive Political Parties (CPPP) have called on the National Assembly to respect a state high court’s order restraining it from taking over the affairs of the state House of Assembly. Chairman of the coalition, Musa Mato while addressing a press conference in the state on Wednesday, said the threat by the National Assembly to take over the state House of Assembly is undemocratic as the matter is before a competent court of law. Mato claimed that apart from the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), all political parties

in the state are in support of the 9th assembly as according to him, it was duly inaugurated in accordance with the law. “The attention of the coalition was also drawn to the decision of the House of Representatives that gave one month ultimatum for another inauguration of the Bauchi state 9th assembly or take over the managing of its affairs. “This is an undemocratic exhibition by the federal lawmakers who are expected not only to make laws, but to also respect the existing ones. The state high court had earlier given an order that restrains the lawmakers from taking any action regarding the inauguration of Bauchi state House of Assembly until after the determination of the court on the matter.

“But, to our surprise, instead of the National Assembly to obey the rule of law, it did the opposite as if court orders are only meant to be obeyed by poor citizens alone. We are calling on the National Assembly to respect the court and wait for the court to determine this issue before taking any further action,” the coalition stated. Our correspondent recalls that the House of Representatives had sent an ad hoc committee to the state to investigate the leadership crisis following the inauguration of the state assembly after which they gave the state Governor, Bala Mohammed one month ultimatum to make a new proclamation for the fresh inauguration of the assembly or the federal lawmakers will take over the functions of the assembly.

Okowa charges political appointees on accountability Nosa Akenzua, Asaba Delta state Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa has said accountability is an indispensable tool of management and the hallmark of his administration, and has charged all political appointees in the state to embrace the concept. The governor stated this yesterday in Asaba at the inauguration of the board of the Delta state Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (DESOPADEC) and Delta state Local Government Service Commission. Okowa, who also swore- in the AuditorGeneral of the state, Paul Aghanenu, said that lack of accountability has cost many public officers the respect and goodwill of the media and the public. “As appointees of this administration, you must make it a point of duty to avail the public of your programmes and actions. “Let the people know what you are doing, why you are doing it and the anticipated outcome of such actions because it is easy to gain the goodwill and trust of the community once projects meet specifications, are suitably priced and properly monitored,” he said. While congratulating the appointees,

he specifically urged members of the DESOPADEC board to ensure that projects were executed according to the needs of the people. “Do not exclude the locals from the process of project execution; I recognize that quite a number of the board members are proven grassroots politicians. “I trust that you will do the wise thing of involving the host communities in your decision-making process because it is imperative for peace, cooperation and development, just as team work, discipline, mutual understanding and cooperation are prerequisites for your success. ``You must be fair, equitable and just. And let me hasten to add that this administration will not hesitate to sanction any erring board member in accordance with the provisions of the law,” Okowa said. The governor, who scored his administration high in project delivery through DESOPADEC, asserted that “after four years of the new regime, I believe there has been better synergy in the management of the agency, quality representation on the board and responsiveness on the part of the agency to the developmental aspirations and environmental concerns of the host communities. ``This is because during the course of my first tenure, I inaugurated notable

infrastructure projects executed by DESOPADEC and I was impressed not only by the quality of these projects, but by the fact that they were in tandem with the expectations of the host communities.” Those inaugurated as members of the DESOPADEC board were Michael Diden (chairman); Chief Askia Ogieh (managing director), Shedrack Agediga (executive director), Leonard Anoka (executive director), Daniel Mayuku (executive director) and John Nani (executive director) as well as nine other members representing various interests. To the four-member board of the Delta state Local Government Service Commission, Okowa reminded them that their actions should be guided by extant rules and regulations. He charged them to be transparent and fair at all times in dealing with staff matters. Swearing in the state auditor-general, he urged him to ensure that governance and management systems are properly aligned with modern audit practices, adding that “as you are aware, we have adopted the International Public Sector Accounting Standard (IPSAS) platform and have also domesticated the national chart of accounts to complement our administration’s goal of fiscal discipline, prudent management and judicious allocation of resources.

Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi state has sworn-in 20 local government caretaker committee chairmen with a call on them to justify the confidence reposed in them by being accountable and transparent while carrying out their responsibilities. Addressing the appointees at Council Chamber, Government House, Bauchi, the governor said with their appointment, his administration has demonstrated determination to re-inject vibrancy into the administration of local government system. “Your selection as caretaker committee chairmen was based on your contributions to the development of the state and the country as a whole,” declared, adding that local government being among the three tiers of government is critical to the operation of his administration as it plays a major role in the provision of social services to the people. The governor, who cautioned the caretaker chairmen against mismanagement of resources, admonished them to provide the needed change in their respective council areas, saying that there is no room for financial mismanagement. “I urge you to work with relevant stakeholders for the smooth running of your councils. I assure you that the present administration under my care would ensure poverty reduction through various youth and women empowerment schemes,” Bala said.

State Commander of the agency, Yakubu Kibo, stated on Wednesday in Yola, that the development was disturbing because of its threat to health. ” The command has noted the proliferation of energy drinks in the state and cautions the public on the consumption as the habit can lead to addiction.

He noted that the rampart use of drugs contributes to infertility in women and men, adding that women who manage to conceive stand the risk of giving birth to deformed children. Kibo also attributed the high rate of divorce in the society as well as the increase in school dropout in the state to drug abuse.

Airport car hire operator returns N.8m, others to passenger Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo A member of the Airport Car Hire Association of Nigeria (ACHAN), Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) Lagos, Mr Adeniyi Olayinka, has returned a sum of N888, 000 and an international passport to a passenger that forgot the items in his car. Olayinka told journalists at the airport that he discovered the items in an envelope was left behind by the passenger on the back seat of the car shortly after he returned to the airport from Ibese Ikorodu destination of the passenger. The commissioned driver to another member of the association said his conscience will not allow him to covert another person’s belongings as it will bring sorrow upon his family saying it was against the orientation given to every member of ACHAN in the airport. “Though it could be tempting to some people to see such money and pocket it, especially when their income is very poor. As for me, it never crossed my mind to do so. Because it would create sorrow in another family and also such idea is against the orientation we are given at ACHAN by our leaders,” he said. Explaining how he found the money and the passport, Adeniyi who has been operating in the airport for fifteen years said: “At about 1:30 am on Monday I met this passenger on arrival at Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos. I negotiated with him and we agreed at N6000 to transport him to his destination at Ikorodu. I returned to the airport immediately I dropped him at his house. But no sooner than I arrived and parked my car at the airport I discovered that an envelope had been left behind on the back seat of my car. I picked the envelope and opened it. What I saw was his international passport.” “I looked further into the envelope and discovered there was another white envelope inside. I opened the second envelope only to discover that something was wrapped in it. When I removed the wrapper I discovered it contained mint notes of US currency. They were in $100 denomination. I counted and they were 24 in number totalling $2,400.” Speaking on the recovery, the passenger, Engr. Dele Ayeni who said it was a living testimony to the advantages of taking cabs from the registered point at airports believe there is hope for Nigeria in many ways I arrived Lagos, Nigeria from Cairo on July 29, 2019, at about 1:30 am on Monday. My intention when I arrived was to call an Uber operator to pick me home as soon as step out of the terminal building. But as I was coming out of the terminal, I met this polite driver who agreed to take me to my destination.” Speaking while handling the items recovered in the car to the owner, the Chairman ACHAN MMIA, Lagos Elder Olubi Ojo said Engr. Ayeni’s case was just one of the many cases the association handles on regular basis. Elder Ojo who recalled that one of his members once returned $15,000 left by a passenger in his car, urged Nigerian passengers to place the safety and security of their lives and properties above any amount they may be charged by the registered airport cab operators because the benefits far outweigh the money paid. “This is a regular occurrence in this airport, passengers forget many things such as passports, money and other personal belongings in our cabs, but they are very sure of finding them if truly the items are left in any of our cabs. We give regular orientation on why they should return to the secretariat any item found to have been left behind by passengers in their vehicles”, Elder Ojo said.

We’re not in contest with Dangote Refinery, says NNPC boss Ajayi Michael The Group Managing Director of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Mele Kyari, has said that Nigeria refineries are not in any contest whatsoever with the most anticipated world largest single stream Dangote Refinery located at Ibeju Lekki in Lagos State. The NNPC boss said that NNPC was not in any contest for market share with Dangote Refinery, which is still being constructed and is expected to begin production in 2020-2021. According to him, NNPC is rather providing support to the

promoters of the project to boost in-country refining capacity. Kyari stated this position on Wednesday when Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man and Chief Executive Officer of Dangote Group, the promoters of the Dangote Refinery, paid a courtesy visit to the NNPC chief at his office in Abuja, the country’s capital. Kyari, according to a statement signed by Ndu Ughamadu, group general manager, public affairs division of the NNPC, explained that as the chief enabler of the Nigerian economy, the NNPC had a duty to rally industry players like Dangote Group to achieve the long-held target of

making Nigeria a net exporter of petroleum products. Ughamadu said Kyari gave assurance that the same level of support would be provided to other promoters of refineries, noting that the ultimate goal was to enhance in-country production to the point of self-sufficiency and ultimately for export. Aliko Dangote is also quoted to have emphasized that the business approach of the Dangote Refinery was to see NNPC as a collaborator rather than a competitor, noting that the refinery would rely heavily on NNPC’s invaluable knowledge of the refining business in Nigeria to achieve its central objective.

According to the statement, Dangote aligned his company with the Federal Government’s aspiration to ensure adequate incountry refining capacity, stating that upon completion the refinery would dedicate 53 per cent of its projected 650,000 barrels per day refining capacity to the production of petrol. “The most important thing for us is to see how we can partner with NNPC, it is not to see how we can compete with NNPC. We would like NNPC to be part of us and we also want to be part of NNPC. I think that is the only way we can achieve a win-win situation,” Dangote is quoted to have said.

Honeywell Flour Mills increases profit by 7% to N19bn in Q1 Temitope Adebayo Honeywell Flour Mills Plc. (HFMP) has increased its revenue by 7 per cent to N19 billion for the first quarter ended June 30, 2019, as against N17.7 billion recorded in the corresponding quarter of 2018. The company’s latest financial statement also showed a strong gross profit margin, which increased by 7 per cent from N3, 193 to N3, 411 while the operating profit increased by 52 per cent from N1.02 billion to N1.54 billion. Profit for the period under review also moved up by 6 per cent from N102million to N108million. Speaking on the company’s performance, the Managing Director, ‘Lanre Jaiyeola noted, “Despite the tough operating environment, revenue for the

quarter was up by 7 per cent to N19 billion, when compared to revenue of N17.7 billion recorded in the corresponding quarter of the last financial year. This was driven by sales of our various Pasta products, which led to the continued strong performance of our B2C business line. With the commencement of full commercial production at our ultra-modern Foods and Agro-allied complex in Sagamu, Ogun State, we were able to grow our capacity to meet the increasing demand for our Pasta products which is evidenced by the impressive 157 per cent volume increase. The performance in Pasta gives credence to the company’s commitment to continue to expand its footprint into growth areas that will positively impact the long-term sustainability of the business.”

Jaiyeola further explained, “Execution of well-embedded savings and efficiency initiatives aimed at improving the company’s margins led to a 14 per cent drop in selling and administration expenses from N2.2 billion to N1.9 billion. This translated to the operating profit accelerating at a faster rate than revenue by 52 per cent, from N1.02 billion to N1.54 billion. The growth in operating profit he further explained “was however moderated by an increase in finance expense which was up by 58 per cent from N892m in the corresponding quarter of the last financial year to N1.4b. The growth in finance expense was as a result of the cost of financing the Foods and Agro-allied complex which is now being recognised in the income statement following the commencement of commercial

operations. As a result, profit for the period only increased by 6 per cent from N102m to N108m. Confident of sustaining an improved performance through the remaining period of the financial year and the future, the Managing Director held that “We are confident about the future and our performance for the full year. We will continue to execute on our five core strategic pillars through three (3) key drivers of growth, efficiency and capability. We will also, strengthen and expand our business portfolio, generate additional revenue streams by offering new products tailored to consumers’ taste and nutritional needs and we will drive margin improvement by enhancing operational efficiency and developing capabilities to extend product offerings and serve new markets.”

‘How TraderMoni town hall meetings will boost MSMEs in Nigeria’ As Market leader lauds TraderMoni for introducing townhall meetings Motolani Oseni

The

introduction of TraderMoni townhall meetings has been described as an avenue for the beneficiaries to engage directly with the different stakeholders such as officials from the implementation partner, Bank of Industry; financial institutions and partner organisations from the private sector. The implementation of the Buhari administration’s micro-credit schemes, including TraderMoni and MarketMoni, and other initiatives are some of the ways by which the Federal Government is said to be incrementally lifting Micro Small Medium and Enterprises (MSMEs) and other Nigerians out of poverty. TraderMoni, which was described as Africa’s most impactful financial inclusion scheme in 2019 by the prestigious African Bankers Awards, was has been lauded for continually delivering on its promise to empower micro-businesses across Nigeria through technology driven collateral-free and interest-free loans starting from N10, 000 going up to N100, 000. Speaking at the inaugural TraderMoni town hall meeting in Taurani market, the Chief Operating Officer, GEEP, Uzoma Nwagba said that these meetings would provide an avenue for the beneficiaries to also benefit from business advisory services to guide them in the utilisation of the funds for their businesses. Nwagba added that the process of receiving

cash out of the TraderMoni loans have been simplified and become more transparent through the printing of lists of approved applicants which is vetted by the market leaders. Corroborating the GEEP COO, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Social Investment Programmes, Barrister Ahmed Isma’eel said that the market leaders have been empowered to take ownership of the programme and ensure that the process runs smoothly. The names of TraderMoni beneficiaries approved for cash out are displayed openly in the market. So no longer will hardworking traders fall prey to unscrupulous and fake agents. He added that the with the introduction of the list, only the right people who have legitimate businesses and are operating in the market will receive the loans. The Chairman of Taruani Market Traders, Mallam Sulaiman Musa Jido welcomed this development and pledged his support in cooperating with the officials to ensure the process is transparent. He said that he will also ensure that he and his team encourage the traders to avail themselves of the loan and keep up with their repayment obligations. In his words: “We are happy with this programme from the Federal Government. I will encourage my people at Taruani market to quickly pay back the TraderMoni loan so they can receive additional money to keep growing their business. We appreciate the Office of the

Vice President for bringing the TraderMoni officials to ensure that the money is collected by the real Taruani market traders. We really appreciate this effort of President Buhari’s government.” Fatima Aliyu, a tailor based at Yankabba market who attended the second TraderMoni townhall meeting which was held at Yankabba Junior Secondary School confirmed that she received the alert on her phone about the TraderMoni loan and promised to use the funds to buy more materials to produce more handmade bags. Since its commencement in 2016, over 2 million traders, artisans, enterprising youth and agricultural workers have benefitted from the various GEEP loans. Over 1 million beneficiaries are first time operators of bank accounts or mobile wallets. Repayment of the loans which is over a six month period can be made via the bank or vouchers, upon which the beneficiary immediately qualifies for the next loan on their mobile phone. Till date, 2600 markets have been activated across 774 Local Government Areas in the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory. With its use of technology, GEEP has been able to reach the financially underserved at the grassroots, driving the agenda for financial inclusion, development and growth. This is line with the Federal Government’s audacious projection of reaching 10 million Nigerians through GEEP by 2023.

The bugs, they say, allow attackers to read files off a device remotely by sending a message comprising of specific characters to their victims, adding that, using the same method, the bugs give access to attackers to corrupt memory and control applications on the victim’s iPhone. However, five of the flaws were patched in the iOs 12.4 update rolled out recently, but the sixth alleged bug is said to remain open, which Google is keeping under wraps until the deadline is reached. According to Google’s disclosure policy, the firm’s security analysts lookout for serious vulnerabilities in various software before they are discovered by hackers after which manufacturers would be given a 90-day deadline on the discovery of any vulnerability before the issue is made public. Reacting to the development, an Apple spokesman said, “For the protection of our customers, Apple doesn’t disclose, discuss, or confirm security issues until an investigation has occurred and patches or releases are generally available.” Meanwhile, experts have advised iPhone users to update to the latest version of iOS 12 to ensure they are protected.

Sanwo-Olu rethinks strategy for emergency response in Lagos Stories by Patrick Okohue The Lagos State governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu has said that there is the need to rejig the operation of the State’s emergency response team for better performance and service delivery in disaster management. The governor who spoke during his visit to the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) operational headquarters at Cappa, Oshodi, praised the emergency response personnel for the quality of service the agency renders, while saying that there was need to raise the standards of its operation in line with best practice. He pledged that his administration would support the agency to deliver on its mandate. He said: “On behalf of the people of Lagos, I commend LASEMA and its emergency workers’ performance in disaster management. But, we know there is still a lot that we can do to raise the standard and there is still a lot that is expected of us but I can assure you that we will support LASEMA for quality service. “This is why we are here to assess the level of response mechanism and take stock of the challenges the agency might be facing. We do not want to give excuses to the taxpayers. We pledge our continued support to encourage the agency to live up to expectations, because its efficiency in service delivery would be the parameter citizens would use to assess and write the agency scorecards.” The governor emphasised the need for maintaining professionalism and empathy in the discharge of the agency’s duty, noting that disaster management required promptness and competency to minimise losses. Sanwo-Olu tasked the emergency workers to work towards reducing their response time by half, adding that the government would address the resource gap hindering the agency from taking its service to optimal level. He said: “LASEMA needs to raise its escalation level in managing emergencies. If it gets to the level where we need additional support from other agencies such as police, fire fighters, or any arm of government, we must be able to quickly be able to analyse the situation and be able to escalate it to another level, so that we can reduce losses to lives and property. “Lagos is a centre of excellence and we must live up to its billing by putting forward the best rescue operation.” LASEMA Director General, Dr. Femi OkeOsanyintolu, led Governor Sanwo-Olu on an inspection tour of the equipment used by the agency in its emergency operations. The governor also inspected the state of facilities in LASEMA Response Unit (LRU) in Alausa. In the governor’s entourage were the Deputy Governor, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat; Secretary to the State Government, Mrs. Folashade Jaji; Head of Service, Mr. Hakeem Muri-Okunola; Chief of Staff, Mr. Tayo Ayinde and Deputy Chief of Staff, Mr. Gboyega Soyannwo. In a related development, the Lagos State government has allayed the fears of motorists over the planned four-month repair works on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, saying that adequate measures have been put in place by the present administration to effectively manage the impending traffic situation. The Permanent Secretary, State Ministry of Transportation, Dr. Taiwo Olufemi Salaam, who disclosed this in Ikeja, stated that in the

Sanwo-Olu project brief made available to the state government, the repair works will narrow both Lagos and Sagamu bound traffic into two lanes on both carriageways respectively and is planned for two months each for inward and outward traffic from the state. He emphasised that Lagos is well prepared and ready for the attendant traffic situation through extensive traffic management and control for the repair works which commences on Saturday, August 3, and is envisaged to trigger and compound traffic along the corridors. Salaam affirmed that the state has identified four locations to redirect traffic through, while the personnel of the Lagos State Traffic Management Agency (LASTMA), and Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), as well as Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), will be on ground to provide towing vehicles and other necessary support for evacuating unexpected breakdowns. The Permanent Secretary explained that the area undergoing repairs will have floodlights and flashing lights placed in strategic places to aid vehicular movement at night, adding that having the whole area lit at night, apart from safety purposes, is also to ensure that Julius Berger completes the repair work within the stipulated period. He also highlighted other measures already planned by the state government to include the display of advance warning signs; day and night emergency response crew; dummy flagman to direct motorists and slip road provided on both sides of the carriageway. Salaam added that the diversion of traffic is also earmarked before the first bridge and that motorists coming from Kara will be diverted to the other side (outward Lagos) where an extra lane will be created; once work is done on that section, the same process will be replicated on the other side by creating an extra lane for vehicular movement. While assuring motorists of the readiness of the Lagos State government to effectively manage the traffic situation during the period, the Permanent Secretary solicited for the understanding and cooperation of all road users and urged everyone to obey all traffic officials and signs for the entire duration of the reconstruction.

D’Tigress coach confident of FIBA Afrobasket title defence

D’Tigress Head Coach, Otis Hughley, is confident that his team has chances of successfully defending their FIBA AFROBASKET title when the competition gets underway on August 9, 2019. Following the team’s draw against Tunisia and Cameroon at the official draw ceremony held in Dakar, Senegal, Otis said the team can mount a strong title defence with the talents at his disposal. Having led the team to a historic eighth place finish at the 2018 World Cup in Spain, Otis is aware of the buzz already created around D’Tigress, ranked number 2 in Africa.

The team will hope to bury the ghost of their 2015 misadventure where they narrowly lost to host Cameroon 70-71 in the semifinal under Coach Scott Nnaji. Otis said: “I know Cameroon has a good history against us. “They beat Nigeria in the 2015 semis. “At this level, anybody can be beaten any day, so we are taking all the teams as the same. “No matter who they are, we are going to play them hard and tough.” Despite exuding confidence about their chances at the AFROBASKET holding in Dakar, Senegal, Otis cautioned that winning the title for the fourth

23

time will not come cheap. He said: “It is a round ball, no matter what, it is still going to bounce. “We are still going to worry about health and how the chemistry is going to pan out this year because we have not had a lot of time to train together.” The reigning African Champions went eight games unbeaten to clinch the 2017 title in Bamako, Mali, defeating Senegal, 65-48 points to win the title. Nigeria (Defending Champions), Senegal (host), Mali and Angola have been tipped as favourites by bookmakers.

Dangote redeems financial pledge to Super Eagles President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, on Wednesday, redeemed his financial pledge to the Super Eagles in his Ikoyi office in Lagos. Represented by the Group Managing Director and Chief Executive of Dangote Industries Limited (DIL), Mr. Olakunle Alake, Dangote promised to continue his support to the development of sport in Nigeria. The Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) team in attendance during the presentation of cheque are Super Eagles Equipment Manager,

Chidi Ngoka, Super Eagles Team Administrator, Dayo Achor Enebi and Super Eagles International, John Ogu. It would be recalled that Amaju Pinnick, President of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF), revealed during the just concluded African Cup of Nations that the Africa’s richest businessman, Aliko Dangote promised $50,000 for every goal scored during their Semi-Final match against Algeria while Femi Otedola promised to pay $25,000 per goal for the same match.

Henry Onyekuru set to join Monaco on a permanent deal from Everton Everton are in talks with AS Monaco over the transfer of Henry Onyekuru. The Blues are looking to offload the Nigerian forward who has spent the last two seasons on loan. Onyekuru, signed from Belgian side KAS Eupen in the summer of 2017, has been unable to obtain a work permit required for him to play in the Premier League. Everton have not commented on reports that a fresh application has also been knocked back but the ECHO understands the club are in discussions with Monaco over the 22-yearold’s sale. The Blues paid around £7m for the Nigeria international and are expected to make a small profit from selling him

to the Ligue 1 outfit. Injury cut short a promising loan spell at Anderlecht but Onyekuru hit 14 goals with Galatasaray last season and

the Turkish club had been keen to keep him. He made one appearance for Nigeria at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.

Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Virgil van Dijk all nominated for Best FIFA Player of the Year L i o n e l Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Virgil van Dijk are among the 10 players nominated for FIFA’s The Best Men’s Player award. The shortlist, which takes into accounts achievements from July 16, 2018 to July 19, 2019, was compiled by a panel of experts and also comprises of former Ajax duo Frenkie de Jong and Matthijs de Ligt, Liverpool double act Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah, Tottenham striker Harry Kane, Real Madrid’s Eden Hazard and PSG ace Kylian Mbappe.

What’s wrong with taking a bow?

Yes, what the hell is wrong in the Senate asking some –or even if all- the President’s ministerial nominees to take bow? Of course every nominee would want to take a bow, but not every nominee who takes a bow is incapable of running a ministry. Nor is every nominee who is able to withstand Senate’s ‘grilling’ necessarily capable of running a ministry. And so what would it have mattered if all the nominees had taken a bow and had escaped the much touted Senate ‘grilling’? Because even if none of the nominees were allowed to take a bow, the question still arises, to what avail would their screening have been when usually most of those who do not take a bow are not necessarily ‘grilled’? Often in fact rather than being ‘grilled’ they are showered encomiums – by friends, compatriots and allies; praises sometimes bordering on the disgustingly panegyric! Besides, to what avail would not taking a bow have been if, in the end –as has always been the case- both excellent and woeful performers still get to be passed by the Senate anyway? We have always seen that contrary to popular literary adage, whenever the Senate ‘strainer’ takes in especially ministerial water it does not immediately go out of it. In fact, often it never goes out of it! Barring only one or two historic cases, our senates –from as conservative as Enwerem’s to as fascistic as Saraki’s- had hardly dropped any ministerial nominee, no matter how poorly he had performed. And the few occasions any Senate may have turned down or threatened to turn down any ministerial nominee it was hardly for want of character or learning. Often it had been for lack of endorsement by the three senators from the nominee’s state. Thus the good ministerial nominee, no matter how technocratic or how professional, will be disposed often to suffer rejection locally in the hands of adversarial senators of his state who elevate partisanship over and above merit. Conversely the bad nominee may enjoy the partisan endorsement of the senators from his state even if his performance is less than run-of-the-mill. Thus a favored nominee even if ‘in the valley of the shadow of death’, will need not fear, he has guardian-angels in the three senators of his state. He needs not conquer by himself, -like Caesar had to. His guardianangels will conquer for him. It is all pre-arranged amongst the various guardian-angels from all the states. It is a ‘pat our backs and we pat your backs’ kind of secret game. It is only to the naïve critical or cynical public who always take things to the hilt. We fume and we foam by the sides

of our mouths, and the parliament and the President both have their ways. The worst CVs or the poorest performances by favored nominees are still remediable even by the least influential guardian-angels in the Senate; just as the most enviable CVs or the best performers are rubbishable by partisan guardian angels. Jonathan’s Minister of Culture and later Defence, Prince Kayode Adetokumbo was both a victim and beneficiary of this senatorial cult. First as Yar’adua’s ministerial nominee the politics of ‘guardian angel senators’ from his Ogun State failed him. The Senate did not pass him -notwithstanding as a renown SAN he had performed excellently. But then subsequently as Jonathan’s nominee, Adetokumbo was lucky the winds of local politics were now effectively behind his solo sail. He was passed without a whimper. And sometime during the sixth or maybe seventh Assembly, David Mark, then as Senate President, had managed to appropriate Benue’s ministerial slot for kindred benefit. He recommended an old school-teacher-sister of his ‘fresh’ from the undergrowth of Bwari public school system where many had wondered whether she was the one who taught or was herself being taught. None they said had ever been as un-ministerial. She was delicately guided to introduce herself at the screening and hardly took a question or two before she was asked to take a bow. This was the lord’s ‘touch not my anointed’ in the flesh. She required no guardian angels. It is not true that the wind is always on the side of the ablest navigator. Sometimes it can be on the side of the luckiest one. Little did the critical media know then that, that charitably-guided schoolteacher-nominee from Benue was David Mark’s technocratic contribution to Nigeria’s democratic good governance while he held sway as the nation’s number three. No presidential Aide had publicly disparaged the Fifth Assembly more than a certain little-known, Special Assistant to President Obasanjo on Public Affairs, Femi Fani Kayode. Apparently then just cutting his teeth on the ignoble art of political foul language, every criticism of Obasanjo that came to his radar was sufficient casus belli to draw for. Kayode would soon be nominated for ministerial appointment. And now it was not whether or not he could pass the Senate screening. Rather it was whether he could leave the red Chamber in one piece. Many observers waxed biblical. They said that it would be ‘easier for the

camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for Fani Kayode to pass Senate screening’. But guess what, he passed. And with ease too. And why not? He had the President, his three guardian angel-senators and a Senate leadership that could not afford to be niggardly with little favors to the President –just in case. The Senate even as some of its radical members were seething with anger –wanting to draw blood- its leadership was pacifist enough to appeal for an ‘eye of the needle’ a little wide enough for the cantankerous ‘camel’, Kayode to pass. And one can go on and on. Parliament in Nigeria, like I have always said, is a woman of easy virtue. Whenever you think she is too chic to be had, maybe she simply hasn’t been baited enough. As deeply cosmetic and psychedelic as our parliament may seem, she is not necessarily always for the highest bidder. She may just simply sometimes be for the persistent cantankerous interloper. Several times Obasanjo simply refused to budge. He kept returning rejected nominees. Like Buhari did the Budget; and the Electoral Act. Some kind of ‘eyeball to eye-ball’. And one way or another, parliament had always blinked. Parliament’s unwritten rule, especially in our own kind of clime, has always been –as the Hausas would say- ‘da rashin tayi akan bar araha’; or simply: ‘nothing ventured, nothing gained’. It does not matter if nominees are ‘grilled’ or are asked to take a bow –if in the end the ‘good’, the ‘bad’ and the ‘ugly’ still get to be passed, and the critical public –usually gung-ho about who’s a technocrat, or who peaks the most English or has the longest CV- is left with the short end of the stick. Because the questions arise: ‘what if the most technocratic of the nominees turns out to be the most thieving? –as was the case with Diezani; or that the worst performer during the screening becomes the most sincere administrator? Or that the one with the most unattractive CV, turns out the best innovator? What did it matter if the Senate had asked any to take a bow when even those that it did not ask to take a bow it did not ‘grill’; or those that it ‘grilled’ and who performed poorly, it still passed; or those that it ‘grilled’ who did very well, like Diezani, may turn thieves? What is in the Senate ‘grilling’ nominees when whether or not it does so, it will still pass them all? Or what’s in celebrating technocratic nominees or in discovering excellent interlocutors when even doing so is no guarantee that they’ll deliver; or that they will not fail; or will not turn rodents, ripping our barns on all seams?

FIFA, UEFA in fresh call for Saudi action on pirate broadcaster FIFA, UEFA and several of the world’s top football leagues on Wednesday renewed calls for the Saudi government to crack down on alleged piracy of television rights by the “beoutQ” network. FIFA and UEFA were joined by the English Premier League, Spain’s La Liga, the German Bundesliga, Italy’s Serie A and the Asian Football Confederation to “collectively condemn in the strongest possible terms the ongoing theft of our intellectual property by the pirate broadcaster known as ‘beoutQ’”. They also called “on the authorities in Saudi Arabia to support us in ending the widespread and flagrant breaches of our intellectual property rights taking place in the country”. The collective have been working since May 2018 to monitor and compile evidence against beoutQ, whose broadcasts they said were “regularly and on an industrial scale made available on an illegal basis”. “Following thorough analysis by technical experts of how beoutQ

operates from a technical perspective, we are satisfied that beoutQ is operating specifically to target customers in Saudi Arabia and is utilising the facilities of at least one Saudi Arabia-based entity.” However, the collective have been unable to find a Saudi law firm willing to act on their behalf. “As copyright holders we have reached the conclusion, regrettably, that it is now not possible to retain legal counsel in Saudi Arabia which is willing or able to act on our behalf in filing a copyright complaint against beoutQ,” a statement released by FIFA said. “We feel we have now exhausted all reasonable options for pursuing a formal copyright claim in Saudi Arabia and see no alternative but to pursue beoutQ and a solution to this very serious problem of piracy by other means.” It added: “Given the scale of beoutQ’s piracy in Saudi Arabia and that the piracy continues unabated, we request that the (Culture and Information) Ministry and the Saudi Government take swift and decisive action against beoutQ.”

Cas revokes Caf decision to replay Champions League final

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on Wednesday overruled an African Football Confederation (CAF) decision to replay the abandoned Champions League final between Esperance and Wydad Casablanca. CAF last month ordered the second leg to be replayed

at a neutral venue following the Africa Cup of Nations after Moroccan side Wydad walked off an hour into the return fixture in Tunis when a VAR malfunction meant a disallowed equaliser could not be reviewed. Tunisia’s Esperance, who led 2-1 overall at the time, were initially handed the title, but CAF later backtracked

after determining that “playing and security conditions were not met”. Both clubs subsequently lodged appeals with CAS. But CAS on Wednesday ruled that the executive committee of CAF “did not have jurisdiction” to order that the game be replayed. CAS said it was now up to “competent CAF authorities”, without giving further details, to “order the appropriate disciplinary sanctions, if any, and accordingly to decide whether the second leg… shall be replayed or not”. Requests by Wydad to be named champions and granted the winners’ paycheck were rejected, with CAS adding that Esperance’s appeal would be investigated at a later date. The on-field fiasco prompted CAF to reduce both the Champions League and Confederation Cup finals from two legs to one match at a neutral venue from next season.
