The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, and the Nigeria Air Force, NAF, have reiterated their resolve to harness existing relationships towards battling corruption and redeeming the economic fortunes of the country.
This was the main focus of the discussion between Isei Daniel, EFCC zonal head, Makurdi Office and Air Officer, Commanding Tactical Air Command, Nigeria Air Force, AVM Or Philip, when he played host to Daniel in his office on Wednesday, August 26, 2020.
Daniel, while stating the purpose of the visit, appreciated the support of the Nigeria Air Force and asked for more robust synergy between the NAF and EFCC in tackling the different shades of corruption that have stagnated the country.
“The essence of the visit is to ask for the support of NAF, so that the EFCC can effectively deal with the issues of economic and financial crimes. You have always been there for us in the past and I want to leverage on the existing understanding between the two agencies for us to achieve more,” he said.
In his remarks, Philip appreciated the EFCC for the visit and for deeming it fit to seek the collaboration of the NAF, which, according to him, is both welcoming and crucial to the success of the EFCC’s fight against corruption.
He assured that the Nigeria Air Force Tactical Air Command was ready to offer its best services in the interest of the nation.
“We welcome you and your team. The Air Force always welcome people as our friends. We have been doing that and we will not cease to do that. Nigeria is our country. We owe it a duty to make it work for the good of all citizens. Therefore, whatever support that you may require from us, so long as it is within our powers, we’ll gladly do,” he said.
…Charges stakeholders on telecom infrastructure protection
…Warns service providers against unwholesome practices
Major mobile network operators (MNOs) in the country recorded 9,077 cases of service outages on their networks in the second quarter of the year, resulting in unexpected disruptions to operators’ network quality of service (QoS) delivery and intermittent quality of experience (QoE) by the consumers, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has said.
The Executive Commissioner, Stakeholder Management (ECSM), NCC, Mr. Adeleke Adewolu, disclosed this in a presentation delivered during the first Virtual Telecoms Consumer Parliament (VTCP) hosted by the Commission recently in Abuja.
According to Adewolu, of the 9,077 service outages recorded by the operators, 3,585 were caused by incidences of denial of access to telecoms sites for maintenance, 4,972 were triggered by incidences of fibre cuts from construction activities and vandalism while 520 cases were as a result of incidences of generator and battery theft at sites.
Adewolu, however, noted that in a proactive step to mitigate the challenges, the Commission had swiftly responded by taking some major decisions to mitigate any unforeseen challenges that may cause serious disruptions in service delivery to the consumers throughout the period of the COVID-19 pandemic.
He said, “the Commission approved resource sharing by operators throughout the period of COVID-19 pandemic.” These include fibre optic cables and other resources in the event of cable cuts and other unforeseen developments.“We also ensured that the service providers meet the needs of their teeming consumers by securing Right of Passage (RoP) for all telecommunications officials and staff for easy movement during the lockdown. This was to ensure ease of movement to service base stations and other telecom facilities and equipment,” among others.
The ECSM called on all stakeholders to join hands with the Commission in enlightening all citizens on the need to protect the telecom infrastructure in their domain without which quality of service delivery will be hampered. He noted the numerous complaints received from consumers by the Commission since the outbreak of the pandemic were indicative of the widening gap between the consumer QoS and the QoE provided by the service providers, which, according to him, needed to be addressed.
He charged operators on the need to increase and improve their network capacity following the unprecedented increase in consumer demand.
“Also, service providers must embark on pervasive consumer education and enlightenment campaign about data usage and billing to ensure their subscribers have all the required information to make informed decisions so as get value for money spent. Operators also need to train and equip their customer care personnel on consumer complaint management as well as ensuring that consumer complaints are resolved conclusively and in line with the revised Service Level Agreement (SLA),” Adewolu said.
He warned service providers to refrain from indulging in unwholesome practices such as modification of data plan without informing the consumers, putting out promotional advertorials without prior approval by the Commission, changing the names and nomenclature of promotions from what was approved, among others to short-change the consumers, warning that the Commission will not hesitate to sanction erring operators.
The ECSM noted that the Consumer Code of Practice requires that once a contract agreement is signed, both parties should adhere to the contract terms and conditions and where a change is required, the validity period should end before any modification is effected.
My eyes were soaked in tears that Christmas, when I traveled home to see my mum.
With a child’s feeling of a son who had missed his mum, I hurriedly alighted from my car upon arrival at my family home to embrace my heroine.
“Good afternoon Mama”, I heartily greeted her before a shocker followed.
My mum looked me in the face and said “welcome my inlaw”. What? In-wetin?
I knew that she was getting old but not too old not to recognize her beloved son, me Kanayochukwu!
“Ọ bụ m, Anayo nwa gị nwoke” meaning “it is me your son, Anayo”, I said to my mum who insisted that I was her inlaw. Unbelievable!
I hated that day, the day a highly priced mum would deny her son and call him someone else.
Not my mum, nne m ọma! Never!
Was it not the woman that lived for me, who would give me the last food available and would go to bed hungry; a woman I swore to work so hard to take care of till she dies? Devil is a liar!
My wife had made my life so beautiful and my dream of taking care of my mum come true.
Two years into our marriage, she suggested that my 72 years old mum come live with us in the city.
She wanted to let my mother have the best of what we could offer.
I never stopped telling her all that my mum did for me and how I would rather die than to live in comfort and she in need.
Who says that the two hearts of a loving couple don’t beat in concert?
My mum, though reluctantly, came to live with us and was “detained” for 12 years. It is usually a Herculean task to “uproot” an old Igbo woman from the village to come live in the city.
She nursed all our kids and formed a formidable team with my wife to keep me well behaved. Every judgement was in my wife’s favour.
All changed one day, 12 years after, when my mother called me into her room to complain that my wife had stolen £10 my friend from U.K. gifted her.
“That was a laughable accusation” I told her and she started crying.
I wasn’t swayed. It didn’t just add up.
She was my mom and I knew where and how she hid her money when I was growing up. I was sure she misplaced the money.
My junior brother and I would compete on who would be the first to “tap” 5 kobo from her bag which we used to buy akara and bread during recess periods in school.
I took her bag, her bank, and instinctively went for the zipped compartment by the inner corner and found the money and handed same over to her. She murmured that my wife must have surreptitiously returned the money.
How? When? I was confused.
Even though I had never doubted my mum or deemed her a liar before now, I was convinced that the devil was using someone who was using mum to destroy my marriage. My mum was too holy a vessel to be inhabited by devil.
Of all the amount of money in this world, how could my wife, a bank manager steal £10 from an old woman she provided for mostly from her own purse? Mbanụ!
But I never related this incident to my wife.
How would I?
That would have broken her heart and the damage would have been irreparable. Such tale could bring out the Jezebel in any daughter-in-law.
Then, another day came when my mum again accused my wife of stealing and seizing her bra.
My mum would not take it anymore.
She had determined to confront the accused but she waited for me to return from work before she tabled the issue.
This, like the other charge of stealing of £10, was also laughable.
What would my wife do with my mum’s bra?
Their upper hemispheres were just not comparable.
While my wife is like a modern day model both in shape and size, my mum was blessed with an envious pair of burst lines that would make boobsful Cossy Orjiakor look normal. Hers would made my father’s friends ask him “ị na-ayị ara?”
It was at this point that I concluded that my mum needed a medical evaluation.
I suspected Dementia.
An all-night search on the internet made me very nervous as her symptoms were pointing towards one disease which can only be managed and buy not curable .
Shame to money which would become useless when confronted by an incurable ailment!
Two consultants, one of which was a professor of Neurology at Lagos Teaching Hospital, independently diagnosed the same ailment.
Mama Obiora, my mum, had developed dementia after 12 years of living with my family in the city.
Broaching the issue with my wife made her open up. She was more dispassionate as she had long suspected that Mama had dementia.
She had noticed Mama’s rapid deterioration both in aggressiveness, poor memory and loss of continence. She was careful not to tell me and had prayed that I noticed them myself.
She was afraid that she might be misunderstood as most men who loved their mums so much would.
My eldest sister advised that I bring our mum home to her. She was ready to nurse Mama while I and other siblings would support with enablements.
With a sorrow-filled heart, I took mama back to my home town for a better care not without retaining the services of a well known professor at Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi.
At 84, my mum looked well fed and well taken care of but calling me an “inlaw” that Christmas was hard a punch for me to bear.
Medical science can go to hell! Perhaps, someone ws behind my mum’s sickness, I thought.
Yes! It was possible. Are we no longer in a wicked world?
Would anyone have blamed me if the prophecy of one freelance pastor who came to pray for my mum made me smell an evil rat?
The spirit-filled pastor was ready to reveal the name of the person who had cast an evil spell on my mum. That’s if we were ready to “engage” him formally.
I quickly came to my senses when he sent a very expensive bill for the deliverance. What an unbelieving customer I turned out to be!
My mum didn’t get any better but good care extended the doomsday as she joined her Maker at 86 years, 14 years after the diagnosis of her dementia.
Do you have aged parents?
Please verify those tales about your wife or/and other people based on which you took some decisions.
You might have been deceived.
Many old people in our families and in our national lives are presently at various stages of senile deterioration known as dementia but we hardly notice due to our blind love, religious affiliation, filial loyalty or hero worship.
My dear mum would have wrecked my home if not for God’s grace and my introspective capabilities.
Dementia, Alzheimer’s, Amnesia and Senility are conditions of old people.
These diseases may set in much earlier than anticipated.
The patient may look normal and be confidently acting a new normal which would have wrecked a family or a state before it becomes obvious.
Many people as young as early sixties have presented the symptoms of dementia.
Check around you. Test all you hear from your old pals. They may be feeding you with inadvertent but dangerous lies.
Refusal to sieve and verify all the tales from our aged ones could be destructive to a family or to a nation.
During my tour of the South and after a long and successful press conference in Calabar, Cross Rivers state, a journalist put up his hand for the last question and said,
“Well we do not know who is bankrolling you”.
This is not a question but an assertion and an insult.
And if this insulting ASSERTION were made before Trump or OBJ I know how they would have reacted.
Below is my response and I have no apology to offer for it.
The young man apologised to me during the press conference and sent his apologies to me after the conference. I have accepted his apologies in good faith and moved on.
I have always had respect for journalists and I always will. Those of them that know me or have worked with or for me over the last 30 years can attest to that.
However there is a distinction between asking a question and offering a gratuitous insult .
This is all the more so when it is clear that the assertion was sponsored and engineered by my political enemies who wanted to use the young man to insult and embarrass me and question my integrity. Well they got more than they bargained for.
I repeat this was not a question but an assertion and an insult and I will not accept that from any man born of woman. Thank you.
ADDENDUM:
Permit me to add the following to my earlier statement. I have taken note of the report by Daily Trust on the incident. The content is false. I didn’t send any of my security men to threaten their reporter.
I only reprimanded him for a premeditated plan to embarrass me and he apologised thereafter. That was all.
This is not a battle between me and the esteemed Nigerian journalists who respect the ethics of the noble profession.
I have always been and will always be a friend to journalists and a champion of freedom of speech. What I will not accept are brazen insults from an individual in the name of journalism.
The assertion or assumption that I am being bankrolled by anyone is deeply insulting.
Finally to the NUJ I say you have got me completely wrong. It would have been better if you had heard my own side of the story and established who was behind this whole incident and attempt to embarrass me, who paid for it and how much they paid before going to press. Nevertheless I still hold you in high esteem.
Nigeria has joined the elite nations that are polio free! This is in line with the campaign mandate of president Buahri. This singular status has demonstrated the need for African countries to eradicate polio in the continent.
Speaking through his social media pages, President Buhari said “I recall that shortly after assuming office in May 2015, I made a pledge to Nigerians that I would not bequeath a polio-endemic country to my successor. Today’s certification of our Wild Polio-Free status is in fulfillment of that pledge to not only Nigerians,but to all Africans.”
He added that “We must guard this achievement of the eradication of Wild Polio Virus in Africa jealously and ensure that we take all necessary steps to prevent a resurgence of this disease.”
Buhari commended the resilient and hard-working nature of the health workers. “I commend the decades of hard work and resilience of health workers and volunteers across Africa, and Ministers of Health and other stakeholders —political, traditional, religious and community leaders who provided the required support and leadership”, he opined.
Donor agencies where leaf out! The president understood the contributions they made on ensuring that polio is eradicated in the coubtry.
“I would also like to appreciate the invaluable support of our donors, development and local partners such as WHO, UNICEF, Rotary International, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Aliko Dangote Foundation, United States Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, GAVI, USAID, European Union, Emeka Offor Foundation, the Japanese and German Governments, numerous NGOs and faith-based organizations”, President thanked.
“These are truly the heroes and heroines of many battles that have made us triumphant in the war against polio”, he extolled .
On the social contract and unity of the nation,the president encouraged and enjoined Nigerians to build trust and believe in the leadership of the nation .”We must continue to build trust between Government institutions, leaders and citizens, so that we can unite as a people and confront the health and socio-economic challenges we face together” Buhari concluded.
Bayelsa State Government, on Tuesday, described as incorrect Federal Government’s categorisation of the state as insolvent due to its low internally generated revenue profile.
It also restated its call for restructuring of the country to address the current lopsided federalism that denied states, particularly Bayelsa, the due revenue from the resources in their land and region.
Chairman of the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), Mr. Elias Mbam, while receiving receiving the Annual States Viability Index (ASVI) from the Editor-in-Chief of the Economic Confidential in his office in Abuja on Monday, stated that Bayelsa, Borno, Katsina, Kebbi and Taraba states had become insolvent because of their “extremely poor IGR” performance in 2019.
Faulting the report and the federal government’s position, the Technical Adviser to the Bayelsa State Governor on Treasury, Accounts and Revenue, Mr. Timipre Seipulou, said the state was not financially insolvent.
Mr. Seipulou stated this in Yenagoa while presenting the income and expenditure profile of the state for the months of May, June and July 2020.
A press release by the governor’s Acting Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Daniel Alabrah, quoted him as saying that the actual problem was in the lopsided nature of the country’s funding structure.
He contended that the federal government allocates 54% of federal revenue to itself leaving the states with a little over 20% to share among themselves.
He also pointed out that a lot of monetary and fiscal policies were being driven by the federal government at the detriment of the states.
He expressed regret that Bayelsa with its vast deposits of oil and gas does not benefit from taxes and other revenues accruing from such resources to shore up its internally generated revenue based on the lopsided federal system the country operates.
Seipulou therefore called for restructuring of the country, saying “even on the issue of payment of taxes, we have been fighting that oil companies operating in the Niger Delta pay taxes to the states in the region.”
“Only last week, we had a lot of meetings over the issue of Federal Inland Revenue Service collecting taxes that should go to the states. And we had to go to court over that issue.
“If you look at the type of federating structure we operate, even the federal government depends on federation allocation. And so we cannot say that any state is technically insolvent. Besides, the 36 states of the federation are not companies that should be declared financially bankrupt.”
The technical adviser further contended that Bayelsa remains one of the states that is able to meet the obligations to its workers and appointees.
“Civil servants and political appointees in the state are not being owed salaries. Pensioners get their salary and gratuity regularly every month also even when other states are slashing the salary of workers and appointees. The state had not defaulted even for one month since the beginning of the year despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. So how can you categorise Bayelsa as insolvent?” Seipulou queried.
Giving a breakdown of the income and expenditure for the month of July, Mr. Seipulou said the state received a gross inflow of N9.8 billion, comprising statutory allocation of N2.4 billion, derivation N5.2 billion and value added tax of N1.8 billion.
He explained that the gross inflow for July as against the previous month showed a reduction of about 20%.
The governor’s aide also announced N1.7 billion as total deductions from the federation account, which include foreign loans N42 million, restructured commercial bank loans N741 million and restructured overpayment of 13% indices N128 million.
According to him, net receipts came up to N8.8 billion, excluding total deductions while the state recorded an IGR of N755 million for the month of June.
Seipulou said total receipts, including FAAC and other receipts, stood at N9.6 billion while total payments, excluding capital and recurrent expenditure, amounted to N7.9 million.
He said N2.987 billion was spent on capital and recurrent payments giving a net balance of N383.7 million for July.
Seipulou, who noted that that the balance brought forward from the month of June was N507 million, said in addition to the N383.7 million, the state was left with a closing balance of N123.3 million at the end of July 2020.
He earlier presented the figures for the months of May and June 2020.
In his remarks, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Information and Orientation, Mr. Freston Akpor, applauded the Governor Douye Diri administration for its commitment to prudent management of resources of the state even in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Anambra State government has suspended the Igweship certificates of twelve traditional rulers for a period of one year.
A circular from Mr Greg Obi, Commissioner for Local Government Chieftaincy matters said the twelve traditional rulers traveled outside the state without consultation or authorization from the state government.
The circular titled “Suspension of Twelve (12) Traditional Rulers in Anambra State,” and dated Tuesday August 11, 2020, listed the affected traditional rulers as follows –
Igwe Alex Edozieuno of Mkpunando
Igwe Mark Anthony Okonkwo of Alor
Igwe Chukuwma Bob Vincent Orji of Ezinifite
Igwe Engr G.B.C Mbakwe of Abacha
Igwe Chijioke Nwankwo of Nawfia
Igwe Nkeli Nelly of Igbariam
Igwe Anthony Onyekwere of Owelle
Igwe A. N Onwuneme of Ikenga
Igwe Simon Ikechukwu Chidubem of Umumbo
Igwe S. O Uche of Ezira
Igwe Dr Emeka Ilouno of Ifitedunu
Igwe Peter Ikegbunem Udoji of Eziagulu Otu.
The suspension took effect from Tuesday, August 11, 2020.
The circular warned the suspended traditional rulers not to parade themselves as traditional rulers and to desist from discharging functions as traditional rulers in their communities or anywhere within the state and beyond with immediate effect.
The circular also revoked their membership of Anambra State Traditional Rulers Council and cancelled any appointment they may be holding in government committees until the suspension is lifted.
The suspension may be lifted at the end of one year, renewed or upgraded in the intervening period depending on government’s review of their conduct.
The suspension is on the recommendation of the Anambra State Traditional Rulers Council, following their meeting at the Professor Dora Akunyili Women Development Center, Awka on Tuesday, August 11th, 2020.
The Chairman of Anambra State Traditional Rulers Council, and the Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Alfred Nnaemeka Achebe had in a news interview condemned the actions of the suspended traditional rulers who had traveled to Abuja in cohort with an Anambra businessman in an attempt to have audience with President Muhammadu Buhari.
The manner the trip was arranged, the embarrassment of being turned back at Aso Rock Villa, and viral videos showing the suspended traditional rulers being induced with monetary gifts by representatives of the businessman to facilitate their trip to Abuja had raised a lot of dust with many blaming the traditional rulers for ridiculing revered Anambra traditional institutions.
In another video, the businessman was seen promising the traditional rulers the sum of sixteen million naira for their cooperation.
It would be recalled that the Traditional Ruler of Ukwulu, Igwe Peter Uyanwa is currently serving a one year suspension for misconduct.

The Enugu State Government has expressed dismay over what it described as “unfortunate, deliberate and malicious falsehood” against it and its development control agency, the Enugu Capital Territory Development Authority (ECTDA), by the Enugu zone of the Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC).
A statement by the State Commissioner for Information, Nnanyelugo Chidi Aroh, said the “calculated attempt to bring the state to disrepute is as a result of the state government’s determination to fully implement the request of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) and the resolution of the South East Governors’ Forum (SEGF) by removing all obstructions to the reconstruction and critical infrastructure works at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, aimed at improving the safety standards of the airport”.
Aroh reaffirmed the state government’s commitment, as the host state, to implement to the letter, the decision of the South East Governors’ Forum, and ensure speedy completion of the ongoing rehabilitation and construction works at the airport.
Presenting a detailed narrative of what transpired, the information commissioner, who stressed the need to put the records straight, said, “Pursuant to the resolution of the South East Governors’ Forum referred to above, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) requested for the removal of obstruction at the airport construction site along Ukwu Orji area by the rail tracks as contained in the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria letter to the Governor reference no. FAAN/ENU/AM/22/VOL.V32 of 11th May, 2020.
“The state government then directed the Enugu Capital Territory Development Authority (ECTDA) to issue appropriate notices to all owners and occupants of illegal shanties and structures obstructing the construction of critical infrastructure at the airport.
“On June 29, 2020, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) issued a public notice advising all owners of illegal shanties and structures obstructing the construction of critical infrastructure at the airport to remove same within two weeks.
“On July 10, 2020, the Enugu Capital Territory Development Authority (ECTDA), in line with the Federal Government’s directive on the upgrade of Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu and pursuant to the request of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), published a public notice on page 28 of Vanguard Newspaper, giving notice of demolition to all occupants/owners of illegal structures and shanties, obstructing the construction of critical infrastructure at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu. The agency gave a further 3-week notice that demolition will commence from July 31, 2020.
“The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) by another letter reference no. FAAN/ENU/AM/15/VOL.6, dated July 21, 2020, forwarded to the Enugu Capital Territory Development Authority (ECTDA) a comprehensive map detailing the areas and structures obstructing the construction of critical infrastructure at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport Enugu that have been marked for removal.
“In line with the above and in consultation with all relevant stakeholders and community leaders in the affected areas, the Enugu State Capital Territory Development Authority (ECTDA) commenced demolition and removal of shanties and illegal structures within the affected areas to ensure speedy completion, upgrade of critical infrastructure and eventual reopening of the all important Akanu Ibiam International Airport.
“It is on record that in its commitment to ensure the speedy completion, upgrade of critical infrastructure and safe operation of the Akanu Ibiam International Airport Enugu, the Enugu State Government has taken the following additional steps:
“i. Relocation of the 120 meters Enugu State Broadcasting Services mast
ii. Construction of 1.3 km asphalt road to the airport navigational facility.
iii. Provision of finance for upgrade and refurbishment of existing toilet facilities in the terminal building. This includes the installation of sensor sanitary sittings such as contactless automatic taps and flush systems, baby changing facilities, handicapped toilets, air conditioning and ventilation system.
“The state government has no intention whatsoever to acquire any piece of land belonging to the Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC), rather the government is determined to provide all needed support to the Nigeria Railway Corporation and any other Federal Government agency operating within the state to ensure their full operation and functionality.
“Finally, no amount of blackmail, falsehood or malicious propaganda will deter the state government, as the government is irrevocably committed to the upgrade, speedy completion of the critical infrastructure work and safe re-opening of this very important National Security Asset located in Enugu State.”
