Keyamo, lawmakers clash
over FG's 774,000 jobs
By Abdullateef Salau & Umar Shehu Usman
T
he Minister of State for
Labour and Employment,
Festus Keyamo, yesterday
exchanged words with National
Assembly members over the Federal
Government 774,000 recruitment
exercise.
The government had unveiled
a scheme, "Special Public Works
Programme" to employ 1,000 persons
from each of the 774 local government
areas.
The initiative is billed to begin on
October 1 and each beneficiary will
be paid N20, 000 monthly to carry out
public works.
The programme is domiciled in the
National Directorate of Employment.
The National Assembly joint
Committees on Labour had invited
Keyamo to brief them on the
recruitment exercise.
Keyamo told the lawmakers that
a 20-man selection committee had
been constituted in each state of the
federation.
Trouble started when the lawmakers
accused the minister of lopsidedness
in the composition of the committee’s
membership.
NDE Director-General Nasiru
Ladan said he was only aware of the
selection of eight members of the
selection committee, adding that he
had no knowledge of how the minister
arrived at the remaining 12 members.
The lawmakers called for an
executive session to resolve the
difference, but Keyamo disagreed,
insisting that everything must
happen on camera. A rowdy session
consequently ensued.
The lawmakers accused Kayamo of
trying to dictate their proceedings to
them and demanded an apology, but
he said he had not said anything that
warranted an apology.
"He should excuse himself if he does
not want to apologize," a lawmaker
shouted.

Keyamo's refusal to apologise
resulted in another round of uproar
which lasted about 15 minutes.
"After all that has been said,
we asked him to apologise to the
committee because we have rules
of proceeding here and that we’re
all in agreement that if he does not
apologise to us, he can excuse himself

Akwashiki said:"We only want

is he trying to tell people? At the end of
the day, he (Keyamo) tried to insult the
lawmakers as if he’s trying to tell us the
procedures of our sitting."
Later in a statement, Keyamo
directed the state coordinators of the
programme to proceed with their work
“unhindered”, saying “after I left, I
understand that the Joint Committees
purportedly suspended the work of
the selection committees nationwide

Lawan, Gbajabiamila meet Buhari, make case for subsidy
By Muideen Olaniyi Abdullateef Salau
& By Simon Echewofun Sunday

T
he federal government
and the leadership of
the National Assembly
have reached an agreement on
the need to halt the planned
hike in electricity tariffs earlier
slated to kick off from July 1,
2020.
The agreement was reached
after Senate President Ahmed
Lawan and Speaker of the
House of Representatives, Femi
Gbajabiamila held meetings
with President Muhammadu
Buhari and Vice President Yemi
Osinbajo at the Presidential
Villa, Abuja.
Already, the leadership of
the National Assembly had
on Monday succeeded in
convincing the Distribution
Companies (DisCos) to defer
the plan to increase the
electricity tariffs till the first
quarter of 2021.
The Senate president,
while briefing State House
reporters after a meeting
with the vice president, said
the announcement on the
increase of electricity tariff in
Nigeria was untimely.
Lawan said before the
increase, some measures
must be put in place including  From left: Senate President Ahmad Lawan; President Muhammadu Buhari and the Speaker,

FG spent N1.8trn on power in 6 years

The federal government
has spent at least N1.8 trillion
financing the power sector in
the last six years.
While government officials
said the funds were subsidies,
the operators of the privatised
power firms said they were
loans given to them to bridge
the over N1.5trn liquidity gap
created in the power sector
after the assets privatisation
in 2013.
An analysis of the N1.8tr
funding shows that the
Central Bank of Nigeria
(CBN) gave out N214 billion
loan from 2014 through the
Nigerian Electricity Market
Stabilisation Fund (NEMSF),
from which the power
Distribution Companies
(DisCos) got N58bn.
That loan is being repaid
every month presently by the
beneficiary firms to the CBN
with 11 percent interest rate
for 10 years.
Government then initiated
the N901.9bn Payment
Assurance Guarantee (PAG)
I fund for the Nigeria Bulk
Electricity Trading Plc (NBET)
to have more fund to pay
the Generation Companies
(GenCos) for the energy they
had generated and supplies
to the DisCos, but was not
completely recovered from
bills paid by electricity users.
Upon the exhaustion
of that fund, the PAG II of
N600bn was initiated in
2019 for similar purpose.
That is ongoing but with the
suspension of the electricity
tariff hike, there may be
need for more funding of the
private sector driven power
firms by the government.

Multi-billion naira salt deposit
abandoned in states as import soars
Producing areas to get refining plants soon – RMRDC
 One of the salt deposit areas in Nasarawa State
By Hussein Yahaya, Vincent A. Yusuf & Victoria
Onehi
N
igeria’s salt import is soaring
amid huge deposits in Benue,
Cross River, Ebonyi, Abia, Taraba
and Nasarawa states.
Despite the abundance of sources of
salt in the country, Nigeria spends huge
amounts of foreign exchange (forex)
on the importation of the commodity,
investigation has shown.
Experts believe that the country
is blessed with many sources of salt,
including natural brine in lakes, springs
and saline waters.
Salt is used mostly in cooking,
preservation, soap, detergents and dyes.
According to Dr. Fuhad Agbaje, among
the benefits of salt is the control of the
body’s fluid balance, the functioning of
the muscles and the nerves, promotion
of healthy weight and metabolism.
When consumed adequately, Dr.
Agbaje said salt also aided balancing
blood sugar level and stabilised heartbeat.
But Mr. Essien Mathew, a geologist,
regretted that despite its abundant
deposits in the country, the processing of
salt was still done locally.
Mr. Matthew said there had not been
deliberate government policy towards
developing salt production in the country.
The Minister of State for Mines and
Steel Development, Dr. Uchechukwu
Ogah, recently announced that “there
is a Federal Government project which
is called Presidential Initiative on
Development of Salts in Ebonyi State
which we have brought consultants to
look at how they can develop the salt
project, which is the first in the history
of this country coming to the South East
and being driven by the Ebonyi State
governor.”
Since the announcement was made,
there has not been any significant
progress in the development of the
product.
Sources at the Federal Ministry of
Mines and Steel Development told Daily
Trust that the ministry had not done
anything on salt.
A Director in the Department of
Artisanal and Small Scale Mining (ASM)
of the ministry, Mr. Patrick Ojeka, was
quoted on the ministry’s website as
saying, “Some states such as Nasarawa,
Ebonyi, Benue and Cross River are
sitting on inland salt boom, but only the
local women are fetching the liquid and
evaporating it into salt.
“If there is a policy and adequate
implementation put in place, industries
will harness the liquid and refine it into
salt, instead of importing the product,
which we have in abundance.”
Why importation persists
The national demand for table salt,
caustic soda, among others exceeds one
million tonnes, a document from the
Raw Materials Research Development
“ If there is a policy
and adequate implemen-
tation put in place, in-
dustries will harness the
liquid and refine it into
salt, instead of import-
ing the product, which
we have in abundance
Council (RMRDC) has shown.
Experts believe that the processing
of the commodity is still done locally
by rural dwellers and thus cannot meet
national demand. This, they insist,
informs its continued importation.
The RMRDC document shows that
the importation of salt, including table
salt and denatured salt and pure sodium
chloride, in 2018 was worth $63m,
compared to 2017 when $52m worth was
imported.
RMRDC noted that, “This has been the
pattern of salt importation in Nigeria on
annual basis. For instance, in 2015, an
estimated value of $43.5m was imported
and this rose to $50m in 2016.”
According to the council, the top
trading partners of Nigeria in 2018 were
Brazil (45 per cent); Namibia (40 per
cent); China (5.84 per cent) and USA (3.33
per cent).
Recent data from the National Bureau
of Statistics (NBS) show upward trends in
NEWS FEATURE
 The locals’ method of extracting salt from the soil
salt importation.
NBS said the nation imported salt
worth N4.5bn in Q1 of 2019 and that by
December, 2019 (Q4), salt (including
crude salt) importation went up to
N4.8bn (N2.5bn and N2.3bn from Brazil
and Namibia), which represent a 25 per
cent increase from the same period in
2018 which stood at N3.6bn.
The Global Alliance for Improved
Nutrition (GAIN) in a study on: “Salt
Production and Trade in Africa”, noted
that of the global salt production, around
five million tonnes is produced in Africa.
GAIN further noted that, “Countries
like Nigeria prefer to import their
requirement of table salt from outside the
region - principally Namibia and South
Africa - but also from Australia, India and
Brazil.”
The Vice President of Dangote
Group, Alhaji Sani Dangote, in 2016,
drew the attention of the country to the
whopping $700m being spent annually
on salt importation, which indicated the
enormity of soaring import bills.
Local effort to produce salt
One of our reporters who was in Awe
Local Government Area of Nasarawa
State recently visited Akira Salt Village
where the salt deposits are found around
a warm spring.
Around the spring, white salt can be
seen, which evaporates from the ground
and coagulates at the top of the soil.
The spring is naturally warm and salty
at all times and becomes warmer in low
temperature.
Local miners in Akira collect the salt
mesh in the soil for refining using the
warm spring water, a method which
dates back to 100 years.
Our reporter’s guide, Abubakar
Galadima, said using different sources of
water other than from the warm spring,
would not give the required result in the
refining process.
Like Awe, Keana LGA is another area of
the state endowed with salt, but only local
miners use primitive methods to process
it.
Once you are given the right, one starts
collecting soil and spreading it in the sun.
After some days, the salt in its crude form
evaporates to the surface and the miner
then collects the soil which is made up of
the salt to local huts where it is deposited.
The top soil is then fetched in a
container with tiny holes that allows
water containing the salt to drip into a
pot.
The next stage is the collection of the
warm spring salt water to dilute the soil
containing the salt to shred off all the salt
into the pot.
The water is then boiled till it dries;
leaving the salt for collection and drying.
The process takes a few days.
During the dry season, the raw
materials are collected and stored in a
hut for usage during the rainy season as
mining is nearly impossible in the wet
period except processing under rain-
protective huts.
FG wades in
The Federal Government, through
RMRDC, commissioned a study to trigger
commercial production of salt within the
study area in order to augment national
supply and thereby reduce the pressure
on scarce foreign reserves.
The DG of RMRDC, Prof. Hussaini D.
Ibrahim, said the council had sponsored a
research project to conduct an integrated
investigation into the saline ground
waters within parts of the Central Benue
Trough in order to understand their basic
hydro geochemical characteristics and to
identify the major processes controlling
their concentration and accumulation.
Prof. Ibrahim said RMRDC partnered
the Federal Polytechnic, Nasarawa, on
the design and fabrication of a thin layer
evaporator and a solar dryer to upgrade
the indigenous process used by native
communities in order to add value to raw
salt and to promote investment in local
salt processing.
The fabrication and test-running of
the equipment has been completed and
some modifications have been carried
out to rectify the problems identified
during the test-run.
The DG informed that plans had
reached advanced stage for the
establishment of salt refining plants in
Keana and Azara of Nasarawa State and
that the salt refinery would serve as a
common facility centre to refine the salt
produced in various communities within
the state.
The DG further said, “The council is
working towards encouraging investors
to build salt refineries in the area to
reduce the cost of importation of salt. So
far, two investors have been identified
and the council is working with them to
ensure the project is actualised.”

Yobe pays for
treatment of Buni-Yadi
explosion victim
T
he Yobe State Emergency
Management Agency (SEMA)
has footed the bills for the
treatment of a 23-year-old boy,
AdamuHaruna, injured by an
explosion of an abandoned anti-
aircraft bullet found by some
children on their way from farm in
Buni-Yadi, Gujba Local Government
Area of the state.
Buni-Yadi was one of the areas
affected by the activities of Boko-
Haram insurgents before its
liberation by the military in 2015.
Farmers and other indigenes of
the areas were said to have been
seeing abandoned live bullets and
improvised explosion in farms from
time to time.
Adamu, who was brought to the
Specialist Hospital Damaturu from
Buni-Yadi, picked the ‘AA bullet’
alongside his friends and were said
to have been playing with it when it
exploded. He had his hand injured
in the process.
SEMA Executive Secretary Dr
Mohammed Goje said the agency
received the information when the
victim was referred to the Yobe State
University Teaching Hospital from
the Specialists Hospital Damaturu
due to the severity of the injury.
Goje, represented by the Director,
Rescue of the agency, Dr Jalo, said
after stabilizing the condition of the
victim, the doctors recommended
a surgery which led to his hand’s
amputation.
A guardian of the boy, Alaramma
Haruna, confirmed that the SEMA
also paid the money spent at the
Specialist Hospital Damaturu
before the referral to the Yobe State
University Teaching Hospital.
“As you can see, the boy’s hand
has been amputated and SEMA, in
its magnanimity, has shouldered
the responsibility of the surgery
and even the money we spent at
the Specialist Hospital Damaturu.
“Apart from being with us day
and night as well as paying several
prescriptions even before the
amputation, they sent us the sum
of N40, 000 and asked us to notify
them of whatever expenses given to
us by the hospital for payment.
Haruna commended the state
government for being concerned
about the plight of citizens,
especially the less privileged.

Stop Probe: Enemies at work
E
arly press reports say eleven
Nigerians are currently being
investigated for a $6 million fraud in
the United States of America. It is unclear
whether this investigation is part of the
$11 million fraud for which Obinwanne
Okeke, aka Invictus, has pleaded guilty
and for which he is now to serve 20 years
behind bars.
In 2016, when Okeke was 28-years
old, he featured on Forbes’ list of Africa’s
Under-30 Most Promising Entrepreneurs.
It was a meteoric rise to fame for a child
who lost his father at the age of 16 and
was passed from one relative to another
like his 16 other siblings. Okeke claimed
to have a bachelor and a master’s
degree in international studies; forensic
criminology and counter-terrorism
studies respectively. If true, he studied the
theory of fraud and went on to put it into
practice, which in other disciplines would
be acceptable.
Okeke rose to prominence when his
company, Invictus Group, came under
FBI investigation for wire fraud. Before
then, he had spread his tentacles into
oil and gas, agriculture, science and
technology. He even started a foundation
for the underprivileged according to a
report compiled by GuardianTV.
Obi was on a visitor’s visa to America
when he was captured and he’ll need all
the help for an early release. The Invictus
is neither unconquered nor invincible;
he has left an odious stain on hard work,
perseverance and diligence - hallmarks of
the average Nigerian success story.
The Nigerian social stratosphere is
littered with young men and women
of unquestionable opulence flashing
their ill-gotten wealth to others. They
tell young people that hard work and
diligence offer no earthly reward. Faced
with a government that caters solely to
the greed of ten percent of the population,
the recycled ruling clique who control the
nation’s wealth; the unwashed masses
have no role model.
Who wants to work hard when one
political appointment is what is required
to bridge the gulf between poverty;
penury and ostentatious lifestyle? Who
wants to sweat out and wait for years to
‘blow’ when they are fed on a melody
that declares that Aliko Dangote and
Mike Otedola, two of Nigeria’s rooted
millionaires do not have two-heads?
Life is littered with people who burnt
the midnight oil to earn worthless
paper qualifications but never feature
as national influencers or have a brand
name. Bennet Omalu, a US-based
forensic pathologist, discovered chronic
traumatic encephalopathy, the link
between concussion, mental illness
and contact sports. Another Oluyinka
Olutoye, a pediatric surgeon operated
on a pregnant woman to correct a fetal
abnormality and reinserted the child
back to its mother’s womb to complete
full gestation and birth. Bashir Isa Dodo,
a systems engineer, has segmented the
retina into seven layers to revolutionise
ophthalmic surgery.
Ask your children if they know any of
these three and you’ll be an A-parent if
you get one right answer. Ask them if they
know #Adeherself, aka Ademola Adewale,
and their precocious faces are most likely
to light up. She was recently arrested with
several others over a N9 million fraud
investigation.
On Instagram, where the stupendously
wealthy expose their stupendous wealth
to the wretched wannabes, Ms Adewale is
a successful model but the EFCC swears
she’s the matron of a ring scamming
people on the Internet. She tips the scale
for criminal gender balance.
That is more than you could say of
Raymond Igbalodey, aka Hushpuppi.
Born June 14, 1988, Hushpuppi agonises
about his poor lifestyle. He watched his
parents kneel before poverty, watched his
elder sister succumb to typhoid because
she couldn’t pay hospital bills. But he lives
his life on the fly, addicted to the Gucci
brand, flashy cars and mouth-watering
meals often served 35,000 miles above sea
level on private jets or in five-star hotels.
He flashed his bling to Daddy Freeze and
maverick one-time senator, Dino Melaye,
whose own opulence is an inexplicable
accident.

Americans and the Dubai police sort out
the source of his $20 million wealth and
the several bank accounts traced to him.
While Nigeria wants to clean up its
battered image, it has a sad record of
bungled prosecution of obviously simple
cases whose characters somehow make it
to the top of the political echelon. Political
fraudsters buy perpetual immunity – like
Peter Odili, James Ibori and recently Orji
Uzor Kalu.
Late last year, the case against Ismaila
Mustapha, aka Mompha, accused of N33
billion fraud was bungled. He was granted
bail in the sum of N100 million! He has
returned to Dubai and the flashy life.
Recently, Mudashiru Obasa, the
Speaker of the Lagos parliament, brushed
off an N80 million fraud allegations. He
used the money to fly the wives of his
colleagues to Dubai and spent another
N53 million on a trip to America with his
sidekick. Obasa responded that not only is
he not guilty, but that the law allows him
to spend N100 million without auditing.
He described the allegations as the
handwork of his enemies. There you have
it, probe unnecessary, call in the spiritual
army to stop the enemies at work.

Sino-India face-off: A ‘new ‘cold war’ era?
By Jai Kumar Sharma
f war is too serious a business to be left
to the generals, it is also too serious a
business to be left to ignorant politicians.
‘Hot war’ between India and China will
lead to a larger regional conflagration
with untold and possibly unforeseen
consequences for both the Asian giants
Is the force build-up at Indo-China
border an outcome of a bigger strategy of
Asian powers? There is no simple answer
to the unpretentious question. Today’s geo-
politics is revolving around new systems
with new complexities. As long as we
remain caught in generalisation, the fog
in our minds will only get thicker. But if
we switch to current reality, we might find
some plausible answers to the five broader
questions that have been preying on the
minds of millions.
Is China flexing muscles or fortifying its
trade routes?
Chinese forces are not there on Indian
borders for few morsels of territory in
Ladakh. That will be too minimalistic for
such a risky move. Western world is having
its own narrative on Chinese build-up but a
holistic picture can be seen only if we look
through the Chinese prism.
To accelerate its growth rate in the next
decade, China not only requires robust
industrial output but they also need safe
and secure routes which function as trade
arteries and provide inward movement of
oil and raw material from West Asia and
Africa.
China remains heavily dependent on
Middle Eastern oil, with up to 80 percent of
its energy supply passing through the Strait
of Malacca. Any disruption – ranging from
piracy to fears of a potential naval blockade
by the United States or India – will have an
adverse impact on China’s long-term food
and energy security.
The much debated project of OBOR
provided the answer to two persistent
problems of China—the alternate route for
energy & trade and development of western
hinterland. China so far invested close to
$400 billion on its flagship programme,
CPEC (China Pakistan Economic Corridor),
on development of Gwadar port and
building of highways across Pakistan
(through Gilgit-Baltistan) to connect
with Xinjiang and Tibet. China is getting
increasingly sensitive about the security
of the corridor which is passing under the
combat range of Indian Army after the
building of new roads along LAC.
Where do the interests of two Asian
giants clash?
China’s core interests have dictated that
India should be firmly dissuaded from
considering recovery of Gilgit-Baltistan
to fulfil its long-stated goal of unifying
Kashmir. From Beijing’s perspective, any
Indian attempt to take over Gilgit-Baltistan
would wreck CPEC. The Chinese have also
been uncomfortable with infrastructure
development along the Line of Actual
Control (LAC) with India, especially due to
the pressure it imposes on Aksai Chin.
By 2008, India had reactivated the
airfield of Daulet Beg Oldie (DBO) which
is in the south of Karakoram Pass and
just nine kilometres from Aksai Chin.
Advance landing grounds of Fukche and
Nyoma had also been revived. India is fast
catching up with China in terms of border
infrastructure.
Indian road construction activity with the
255-km Darbuk-Shayok-Daulat Beg Oldi
(DSDBO) as the spine has steeled Indian
connectivity along the LAC, adding further
pressure on Aksai Chin. Chinese PLA was
getting increasingly uncomfortable with
these infra activities being developed by
India.
Is the present stand-off an outcome of a
OPINION
planned strategy?
The simultaneous face-off at three
different places along the LAC appears not
only well coordinated but also part of a plan
that could not have been conceived at the
local or sub-area level.
It’s well established now that PLA
surprised Indian Army by moving forces to
its borders directly from a massive military
exercise to reinforce tactical locations.
Is there a possibility of full-scale war?
India and China are divided by natural
borders of high mountains. Both the
countries know that it’s not easy to retain
the captured territory by either of them,
because harsh weather and rugged
mountains will cut off their supply lines for
major parts of the year.
Militarily, both are nuclear armed
countries and cannot be pushed by
each other beyond an extent. Even in
conventional war, no side has a clear edge
in mountains.
In the current situation, both China
and India may try to secure strategically
favourable locations on the high mountains.
China would like to have access over the
ridges overlooking DSDBO road, and India
will ensure development of infrastructure
to move troops and machines on the
borders. A complete disengagement may
take very long this time.
Is the world heading for the ‘New Cold
War’ era?
Many analysts are trying to portray the
crisis as part of superpower game play in
the so-called ‘New Cold War.’ Some media
experts see U.S. support as one of the
main drivers behind India’s firmness and
aggression in dealing with its border issues
with China, but that seems far from the
truth.
In reality, business interests are playing
a major role in the international arena and
these are not favourable at the moment
for a bipolar world. It is difficult to foresee
a return to a bipolar world, even amid
the sharpening contradictions between
China and the West. Half of the twenty
largest economies of the world are non-
western now. Diffusion of technology
and demographic differentials will also
contribute to the broader spread of
influence.
China is fast becoming self-reliant
in terms of weaponry, and remains no
lucrative market for Russia. In fact Russian
arms industry is facing stiff competition
from China globally. Russia would not like
to lose India as its lucrative buyer for its
weaponry. Israel is having warm relations
with China but cannot drift away from
India—a long-time friend and a major
market for its technology and weapons.
There are growing voices in the West
that the U.S. should forge a deep strategic
alliance with India. This also gels with the
emerging view of India being a natural ally
of the United States and thus a bulwark
against China in Asia. While this may

the region, New Delhi must tread this path
cautiously. The “New Cold War,” if it ever
becomes a reality, would be completely
different from the Cold War of the twentieth
century. The U.S. no longer enjoys the
same hegemonic status as it did decades
ago. Its position as the leader of the liberal
international order has long been eroded. It
may thus not be advisable for India to put
all its eggs in one basket. India must, as it
is trying to, handle its bilateral issues with
China in an independent manner without
falling prey to any narrative.

One of the basic principles of

afraid if something urgent,
drastic and viable is not
done to arrest the situation,
the country may soon
degenerate into a full blown
hotbed of criminalities.
And the rate of crimes we
are witnessing at present,
which has outworn our
security architecture, may
only be a child’s play.
All over the social media
- Facebook, Whatsapp,
Twitter, the subject of
discussion is N-Power.
There came the shocker.
After just 48 hours of
declaring the portal open,
the scheme has received
over 1 million applications,
according to a statement
by the overseeing minister,
Hajiya Sadiya Umar
Faruq. This only confirms
the disturbing trend of
endemic unemployment
and poverty in the country.
By the way, the portal is still
open, and many more are
still struggling to register.
We don’t know the number
of applications that would
be received in the coming
days.
This reminds me of my
experience during my days
in school. My alma mater,
the University of Ilorin, had
called for applications from
interested and qualified
persons to fill just minute
vacant positions. On the
day of interview, you
need to see the number
of people that swarmed

and God-knows-where.

for the rest of their lives after they had been
raped. Are some women’s frigidity not
traceable to the sexual violence that was
inflicted on them by rapists? Even after
they had gotten married, they would still
have a great dislike for sex, owing to what
they suffered in the past. Their negative
attitude to sex can cause the break-up
of their marriages. And some female
victims of rape have become inveterate
misandrists.
More so, victims of rape are stigmatised,
which makes them have low self-esteem.
That’s why some women who suffered
rape did not make it public, not to talk
of them inviting the police to arrest the
rapists. When rape victims keep silent,
rapists are emboldened to continue
perpetrating the vile act of rape. And
some of the rape victims are landed with
unintended pregnancies.
I urge rape victims not to keep quiet
for fear of being stigmatised. They should
invite the police to effect the arrest of the
culprits and press charges against them.

We came to the realisation that many
of the women expressed interest in
starting up a pure water retail business,
some preferred flour grinding business,
etc. Flour grinding machines were
distributed, following a training session
on how to operate the machines. Bags
of water were distributed to the women
as requested by them. Some others were
trained on other skills and cash was given

Ize-Iyamu vs Obaseki
The position of the law in regard to the credentials of the Edo guber candidates
is silent for now. My opinion is that courts in every state should be involved in the
screening of candidates and their credentials before the primaries, irrespective
of the party so that issues of illegibility to contest is solved before elections. But
where candidate(s) can jump from one party to another because of certificate(s),
credibility is crude, characteristic of a polluted system.

Call for Islamic bank in Nasarawa State
The people of Nasarawa State are in dire need of Islamic banks as their services
are the best anyone could wish for. As such we are appealing to the management
of JAIZ, TAJ and others to come and open their branches in Lafia, the state
capital. The teeming population of both Muslims and Christians in the state are
waiting to be their customers as there is no such kind of bank in the state.

Re: Avoiding pitfalls from concession of 10 highways
This is to point out clearly that already this arrangement is built on hidden
pitfalls due to the minister’s record. We saw in the Ministry of Power on Mambila
power project where two years after it was signed only for the present minister
to come in and meet the project at zero level. Despite that, we didn’t hear PMB
querying the former minister and summarily dropping him from the cabinet for
breach of trust. Therefore, for him to submit another memo on concessioning
of federal roads that has no any South West federal road in its arrangement
is clearly a divisionary tact to put these roads under perpetual lockdown just
as they put the work of Kano to Lagos rail work under lockdown. Because no
time will they come to it in the nearest future since Lagos to Ibadan is tactically
delayed to achieve that motive of not starting it ever within the period of PMB.

DisCo tariffs hanging fire
and it is the only option left for
government. But the posers
from the DisCos are relevant and
indeed troubling. They point
to the fact that the issues are far
from being resolved. And some of
them go beyond money though
nobody doubts the fact that the
energy sector needs money, tons
of it to turn things around.
But throwing money at
problems thoughtlessly, as it
has become the habit, does not
address the issue and may not

them; managerial and adequate
capacity, commitment and,
above all, integrity.
Precisely, that is the point

makes bold to point out that “as
long as we have people who are
not metered, as long as we have
staff who are cheating, as long
as we have Nigerians who are
not willing to pay for energy, so
long shall we continue to have
problems.”
On top of all these issues
and the existential threat from
COVID-19, we certainly don’t
require a ghost from the deepest
abyss of darkness to tell us that
the timing of this increase is
awfully wrong. Coming in the
middle of a ravaging pandemic
that has wreaked economic and
social havoc on helpless citizens
whose means of livelihood
continues to be battered with
unremitting ferocity, a tariff
increase is like hammering the
final nail on the coffins of the the
poor and the unemployed.
And if you care to find out,
the rich as represented by the
Organised Private Sector in
Nigeria, are also crying out aloud.
Federal government, to the
level of its limited capacity, has
been sensitive to the sufferings of
the poor during this pandemic.
When it broke out, it quickly
reduced the pump price of petrol
and gave out some palliatives
to some indigent people, the
so-called poorest of the poor.
And, following the examples of
the more advanced economies,
it reportedly gave out some
token economic stimulants to
the productive sectors of the
economy.
Does it not therefore sound
paradoxical and, to draw it
mild, even insensitive to slam
one hundred percent increase
on consumers of electricity
when there is no corresponding
increase in efficiency and in the
midst of the pandemic? It is like
taking back with the left hand
the little palliatives the right hand
doled out to a minute fraction of
the needy - the quintessential
wretched of the earth.
Is it because of the sensitiveness
of the exercise that the regulatory
agency has maintained a studied
silence? The Nigerian Electricity
Regulatory Commission, NERC,
which ought to be part of the
decision to hike the tariff is
missing in action, leaving the
DisCos, wobbly at the best of
time, to carry the can.
OPINION
But we all know, as a fact, that
these DisCos are historically
and congenitally ill-equipped to
carry this can – a responsibility
gratuitously conferred on them
by a government that could not
put its house in other.
Troubled by the historically
incurable inefficiency of
electricity in Nigeria from the days
of the Electricity Corporation
of Nigeria, ECN, to NEPA, the
National Electric Power Authority
and which again morphed finally
to Power Holding Company of
Nigeria, PHCN, government of
President Olusegun Obasanjo in
2005 thought it had found its way
around this albatross. It enacted
the Electric Power Sector Reform
Act of 2005. This led to the
unbundling of this octopus into
18 different companies, namely
six generating companies, 11
distribution companies spread
across the 36 states of the
federation and a national power
transmission company.
The distribution companies
named DisCos were acquired
through the privatisation agency,
the Bureau of Public Enterprise,
BPE, by Nigerian businessmen,
some of whom were of doubtful
means and, worse still, doubtful
experience.
Under their respective
managements, the DisCos have
only managed to sustain the
power of light and darkness
over the country, following
faithfully in the footsteps of
their predecessors. All too
often, therefore, the federal
government has had to bail them
out with finance and managerial
intervention to prevent a total
shut down.
Between January and July
last year alone, the national
power grid recorded a total of
eight system collapse which
plunged the whole country
into darkness. According to
the report of investigation into
one of the system collapse,
the Transmission Company
of Nigeria, responsible for
managing the grid, had put the
blame for the system collapse
on the distribution companies.
The DisCos, lacking the capacity
to distribute the paltry 3.8
megawatts being generated at
the time, suddenly stepped down
their capacity with the resultant
high voltage that caused fire on
Benin 330kv transmission line
reactor.
The unbundling of the
octopus in 2005 now appears
in retrospect to be a solution in
search of problems. Now that
the government has found itself
in a bottomless quagmire in the
energy sector, whatever solutions
it is exploring should not include
taxing Nigerians beyond their
means and their capacity. And if
President Muhammadu Buhari
still has his eyes on the ambition
to take 100 million Nigerians
out of poverty into prosperity,
nothing should be done even
now to impoverish them the
more.

‘Electricity tariff hike
postponed to mitigate
customers’ hardship’
By Simon Echewofun Sunday
Electricity Distribution
Companies (DisCos) have
denied claims that they initiated
the suspension of the electricity
hike slated to begin July 1.
Their umbrella body,
the Association of Nigerian
Electricity Distributors
(ANED) said the suspension
was initiated by the National
Assembly (NASS) on Monday
due to concerns on the current
financial hardships of their
constituents.
The DisCos said the federal
lawmakers also saw lapses in the
internal workability of the plan
within the sector.
ANED, in a statement signed
by its Executive Director,
Research and Advocacy,
Barr. Sunday Oduntan, on
Tuesday said, based on the
recommendations of the NASS
leadership, the new Service
Reflective Tariff regime would
take effect from the first quarter
of 2021.
“The members of the National
Assembly are representatives
of the people. Based on the
feedback they have been getting
from their constituents mainly
around the difficult financial
realities, they called for a
meeting, which we attended and
during the meeting, they laid out
their concerns,” Oduntan said.
The industry leader said
the DisCos, in anticipation of
the tariff hike on Wednesday,
had been sensitising their
customers “as instructed by the
Nigerian Electricity Regulatory
Commission (NERC). DisCos
have also been at the forefront
of the call for a reviewed tariff for
years.”

Post-COVID-19: Marketing communications experts
list strategies for business sustainability
From Risikat Ramoni, Lagos
Experts in the marketing
communications industry
have urged stakeholders in
the advertising and marketing
businesses to deploy various
strategies to navigate the
uncertainty, which the
COVID-19 global pandemic has
brought.
During the first virtual
webinar organised by the
Advertising Practitioners
Council of Nigeria, APCON,
recently, the Group CEO Prima
Garnet, Africa, Lolu Akinwumi,
projected that, “The pandemic
is likely to have a devastating
effect on the economy which
could lead to the worst
recession in three decades as
the Naira has continued to
slide.
Businesses are not as buoyant
as before, people are being laid-
off, and this is impacting on the

Industrial Goods index led
the losers following sell-offs in
BUA Cement (-10.0percent),
Dangote Cement (-0.8percent)
and WAPCO (-7.4percent).
& Gas indices fell 1.3percent
and 0.4percent respectively
as prices in Union Bank of
Nigeria (-6.4percent), Guaranty
Trust Bank(-1.3percent)
and Oando (-4.2percent)
declined. Similarly, sell-offs
in MBENEFIT (-8.7percent)
pulled the Insurance index
down 4bps.
Meanwhile, the Consumer
Goods index was the lone
gainer, up 0.2percent due to
price appreciation in Nigerian
Breweries (+3.1percent) and
Vitafoam (+5.5percent). Finally,
the AFR-ICT index closed flat.

massively in technology.”
In his comments on
the theme, “Marketing
communications business
sustainability in the Post-
COVID-19 era”, the Chairman,
Media Reach OMD Nigeria,
George Thorpe pointed out
two key elements for business
sustainability in the marketing
communications during and
after the pandemic.
Thorpe said: “Firstly, we
need to put strategic thinking
and planning processes in
place to navigate the future that
is uncertain, that is changing
but calls for a framework that
ensures that, all that are in
the organisation align to that
strategic thinking, strategic plan
and strategic framework to a
future that calls for a redirection.
“The second point is the need
for leadership; because good
leadership is what you need for
The top gainers were
Neimeth (+10.0percent),
Okomu Oil (+9.9percent) and
ABC Transport (+9.8percent)
while Cadbury (-10.0percent),
BUA Cement (-10.0percent)
and Unity Bank (-9.4percent)
were the top decliners.
Analyst said although profit
taking was the tone of the
market yesterday, they expect
to see bargain hunting in
subsequent trading sessions.

On the path to sustainable

and a value driven industry, the
Founder & Group CEO, Media
Fuse, Dentsu Aegis Network,
Emeka Okeke emphasised
that much can be achieved at
this time and beyond by doing
things differently with the
deployment of technology.
In her remarks, the acting

noted that, “Through this fast-

Palton Morgan pledges to upscale property sector
From Eugene Agha Lagos
A real estate firm, Palton Morgan,
has vowed to turn around the
property sector in Nigeria to meet
with the standard in the United
Arab Emirate (UAE).
The firm also promised to offer
diverse real estate solutions from
its portfolios to various clientele
across the continents since it
holds the shares of all its member
companies involved in various
real estate and construction
businesses.
The Chief Executive Officer

optimistic of firm’s future
From Abdullateef Aliyu, Lagos
Financial expert and leading
industrialist, Atedo Peterside,
has resigned his appointment
as the Chairman of Cadbury
Nigeria Plc after serving for 10
years.
Peterside, a national honours
awardee, had broached the idea
of resigning from the position a
few weeks ago and made real his
intention yesterday.
In his letter of resignation
sourced yesterday by Daily
Trust, the industrialist expressed
gratitude to all that made his
tenure a huge success and
expressed confidence in the
new management to take the
company to higher levels in the
years ahead.
He stated: “Whilst thanking
you all for your continued
support and understanding, I
firmly believe that the end of
this half year i.e. 30 June, 2020,
should mark my last day because
it is also an almost natural point
in Nigeria and verified by
TechSoup Nigeria. It must also
meet eligibility criteria listed on
the Google for Nonprofits page”,

This grant, she said, assists
non-profit organisations to work
more quickly and efficiently to
reach a wider audience, spur
more supporters to take action,
and tell their story in a more

to ensure more students in
underserved communities get

“The Board of Cadbury is well

from the Board also enables
the Company to inject a new

of “new blood” is good for
the system especially when
further diversity is achieved

me to move on to concentrate

‘We’re leveraging social media to boost textile business’
From Rakiya A.Muhammad, Sokoto
F
or 24-year-old Chief Executive
Officer of Assiddiq Textile
Company, Abubakar Umar
Bala, popularly known as Assiddiqul
Akbar, leveraging social media and
home deliveries have been the
survival strategies in the face of
COVID-19 pandemic.
Abubakar clinched Facebook
Young Entrepreneur of the year
2019, the youngest and fast-
growing entrepreneur of the year
by Caliphate Youths Awards as well
as most hardworking /dedicated
young entrepreneur of the year 2019
by Anti -AIDS Usmanu Danfodiyo
University, Sokoto.
He declares: “Right from the time
I made my mind to embark on the
business journey, many people
have been giving me all sorts of
motivation I need to get going: my
mum and my late father; my elder
brother; my family; my lecturers;
my friends and well-wishers
amongst others.
“Many notable personalities
patronise our products and
services as a way to support me.
Assiddiq Textile is now becoming
a household industry not only
in Sokoto State but beyond. Our
delivery service goes beyond the
state. And our hope is to keep
working in this direction.”
Sharing his experiences during
the COVID-19 pandemic, the world
class designer confirmed that “we’re
among the businesses that are
affected the most. We travel within
and outside the country to buy the
stuff we use as our raw materials
to enable us to serve our esteemed
customers,” he points out.
“Coping with the adverse effects
of COVID-19 pandemic has never
been easy. Only food items are
allowed to be transported from
state to state during the lockdown.
Our staff have to also close before
8 pm during the lockdown. And
the health regulations do not allow
physical contact, so even with the
easing of lockdown restrictions,
we have to maintain physical
distancing, provided masks and
gloves as well as hand sanitisers to
our staff. “
It was against this backdrop,
the business took to operating
more on social media and thereby
introduced home reach out and
delivery.
The CEO added: “I reschedule
our staff to work on a shifting
basis. In this way, we’re able to
cope with the situation hoping for
the condition to get better in the
country.”
The textile dealer and designer,
who holds a Bachelor of Arts
Degree in English Language from
Sokoto State University, said
during COVID-19 lockdown, many
customers do measurements
themselves and send their sizes to
them. “That’s why we engaged in
more home deliveries,” he states.
“Our deliveries on outfits
stuff range from 10 to 20 per day
averagely. For outfits, we have to
see them before embarking on

deliveries. That’s why for sewn
outfits, our deliveries are Saturdays
and Sundays. The average deliveries
during this period are usually about
25 to 40 per week.”
Abubakar, who is awaiting call-
up to the National Youths Service,
recounted his entry into the biz
world.
He said: “Upon my admission
into the University in 2014, having
come from a rather poor family,
I realised I have to find a way to
support myself at least in the
short term to see me through the
university.
“That’s how I started the business

journey by collecting the materials
from a dealer to sell and earn some
profits before I later started going to
Kano, Aba and Cotonou in Benin
Republic to buy clothing materials
and come back home and sell
them. At the same time, I attended
classes.”
According to him, he didn’t start
with cash but “only collect materials
and sell, then return the capital,
take away the profits and collect
materials again. Later, I raised
the sum of N120, 000 to start my
capital.”
The CEO recalls that when
he started, the business was not
very profitable. “You have to sell,
return the capital and the little
profit is what you earn. But as
the business grows, and I begin
to get larger capital, I continue to
expand the capital so that we can
generate larger profit. Today, I can
confirm to you our business is at
a rapidly growing stage. We have a
large number of customers across
ethnic, religious, social and political
divides.”
Assiddiq Textiles, which started
with one machine and supporting
staff, now has nine members in the
team.
“During COVID-19 lockdown,
we didn’t reduce the supporting
staff; we only made them work on
rotation. After all, we do not pay our
staff fixed wage but per the number
of sets of outfits they design or
make,” he explained.
Abubakar would not forget in a
hurry one experience concerning
19
his business and COVID-19.
“I can vividly remember that
despite wearing a face mask, hand
gloves and washing our hands
with enough soap and water in
addition to the application of hand
sanitiser, we developed a fear of
collecting cash after a transaction,”
he recalled.
“We ask for a bank transfer.
We assumed that it could be that
someone infected with COVID-19
might have touched the money. I
could recall one elderly customer
venting his anger on us that despite
rejecting them, closing our mouth
and hands all because we’re afraid
that they may be carrying a disease,
we still don’t trust collecting cash
from them.
“From that day, he didn’t come
back. And the last transaction he
made before the unfortunate day
he felt angry and left was about
N80, 000. Many customers felt like
we were rejecting them due to the
measures we took according to the
NCDC to protect ourselves.
“Now, I learned that sometimes
in business, quantity apart from
the quality of your products also
matters a lot.”
At what point did being of
service change him for the better?
Abubakar had this to say: “When
I started my business journey, I
never thought it could grow this big.
Then, I started to see some of our
customers wearing our branded
outfits in the UK, Saudi Arabia,
Sudan, and Algeria, among other
places.”

new footage of the monkeys has revealed. Before COVID-19
locals tolerated the monkeys - thought to number 6,000 amid a
human population of 750,000 - because they attracted tourists
who paid good money to feed them fruit and take pictures.
But lockdowns have stopped the tourists from coming which
means the monkeys are running short on supplies, turning them
violent and leaving locals struggling to keep control. “We live in
a cage but the monkeys live outside,” Lopburi resident Kuljira
Taechawattanawanna told AFP. She says she was forced to cover
her terrace with netting to keep the hungry animals from raiding

S
five members of the Kaduna
State Vigilante Service (KADVIS)
over the death of a 17-year-old
boy at their office in Kofar Doka.
Spokesperson of the Kaduna
State police command, ASP
Muhammad Jalige, who
confirmed this to Arewa Trust
Weekly, said the suspects would
be transferred to the Criminal
Investigation Department
(CID) as soon as investigation
was complete.
Those arrested, according
to the police, include the
chairman of the group,
Abubakar Ibrahim, and four
others, who were said to have
been involved in the torture
of Muhammadu Sani Aliyu
to death in their attempt to
establish whether he stole a
mobile phone belonging to one
Auwalu Mahauci.
Auwalu Mahauci, according
to the mother of the deceased,
Malama Hannatu Sani Aliyu,
reported to Sani’s father,
Malam Sani Aliyu, that his
mobile phone was missing and
he suspected Sani for the theft.
Sani’s father and his friend,
Malam Abubakar Umar Dan
Bakano, interrogated the
deceased, who stood his ground
that he did not steal the phone.
Malama Hannatu explained:
“While my son was being
interrogated by his father
and Malam Dan Bakano, the
members came and took him
to their office at Kofar Doka
where he was tortured to
death. The incident happened
on Wednesday, June 24, 2020.
My son, his father and Auwalu
Mahauci (the owner of the
missing phone) are working
at the same place (a garage)
where the alleged theft took
place.”
She appealed for justice to
cut the excesses of vigilante
groups, adding that, “even if
the boy stole the phone, he did
not deserve to die because of
handset. However, I know my
son is not a thief. Recently, a
lady lost her money; he found
it and returned the money to
her. Can a thief do that?”
everal groups in Kaduna
State have called for action
against the increasing
cases of rape and gender
based violence across the
country. Arewa Trust weekly
reports that while some of
the groups have called for the
death penalty on rapists found
guilty, others want federal and
state governments to declare
a state of emergency on rape
and sensitise the public on
victims’ stigmatisation.
The Executive Director,
Village Debbo Care Initiative,
(VDCare), Samira Isah
Modibbo, said though there
has been a spike in rape
cases during the COVID-19
lockdown, sexual abuses were
not new in Nigeria, adding that
the only difference was that
more people are now speaking
out.
Moddibo, however,
cautioned against silence
for fear of stigmatisation,
stressing that, “stigmatisation
should not be an issue because
if you do not speak out, the
rapist will go on to his next
victim, and the vicious circle
continues.”
Traders snub shop owners as weeds take over community market
From Mohammed Ibrahim Yaba,
Kaduna
Residents of Hunkuyi town in
Kudan Local Government Area
of Kaduna State have lamented
over how weed has taken over a

to rent shops because they had

residents were sad to see the

“The market was in a very

How small scale businesses are faring

It was a few minutes to 6pm and the

Abdul, a college student, who sells food
to labourers in the area, felt reluctant
to go home because she did not make
appreciable sales that day.
Her worry was that there was nothing
she could take home that would sustain
her family for two days before the next
lockdown-free day.
She sat haggard and worried over the
buckets of her leftover food in a sombre
mood with her chin resting on her left
hand, engrossed in thoughts about her
future and that of her younger siblings,
who all depended on the little business
for everything including their studies.

Trespassers taking over our land, Sharia Court cries out
By Lubabatu I. Garba
The Kano State Sharia Court has

lack of capital because all the savings
they had were used in taking care of the
immediate needs of her family.
According to her, she had to borrow
from close relations before she was able
to start the moi-moi business.
“Our experience under the lockdown
was terrible. Being a daily income

confessed.
Fa’iza could not hide her emotions

educational pursuit and that of her
younger siblings in the face of the dying

“We depend on this business for

Under the lockdown, because nobody

Excitement as NPA, NIMASA agree to site

From Eugene Agha Lagos
M

assumption of office as
the Managing Director of
the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA),
undertook a tour of NPA’s facilities in
Lagos, Port Harcourt and Calabar.
Before the tour, little did she
know the extent of rot, waste and
mismanagement of resources that
awaited her on arrival at the facilities.
She could not express the extent of
decay she met on ground during the
visit.
Seeing her countenance, the top
staff members of the Authority had
wished she was not taken to some
areas.
One of such areas they had
wished they never took her to is the
Continental Shipyard Limited (CSL).
The shipyard is a joint venture
between the Nigerian Port Authority
and a Swiss company. The decay at
the yard, according to a staff, was as
a result of years of abandonment. A
staff said that the shipyard had once
served as a training centre for the
numerous marine engineers trained
by the NPA. Most of the marine
engineers are the ones calling the
shots in the martime sector.
Before the shipyard was eventually
abandoned, it had become idle as
a result of mismanagement and
negligence.
But now, there is excitement over
a recent agreement between the
NPA and the Nigerian Maritime
Administration and Safety Agency
(NIMASA) over the siting of a N50
billion floating dock at the Continental
Shipyard Apapa, Lagos.
The agreement, which is a
public-private partnership (PPP)
arrangement, is expected to generate

about 500 jobs in the first year.
Aside, the dock would generate about
N12bn to the coffers of the federal
government in the first year. The figure
is expected to grow over time.
Barring any last minute change in
plans, the floating shipyard is expected
to dock at the Continental Shipyard, in
Apapa soon.
Hadiza Bala Usmans believe that in
order to enable Nigeria benefits fully
from international shipping and to
take advantage of the opportunities it
provides, the country must operate a

among other things to reduce capital

Director-General of NIMASA, Dr Bashir
Jamoh, penultimate Thursday said the
agency’s floating dock would generate
N12bn annually for the country.
Jamoh made this known while
presenting his achievements in his
first 100 days in office.
According to him, the agency was
expecting a huge influx of employment
opportunities from the utilisation of
the floating dock.
“Presently, the floating dock is
at the Naval Dockyard and we are
making everything possible to get it
to the Continental Shipyard when the
Nigerian Ports Authority would have
wound down its operation at the yard.
“Apart from the N12bn annual
revenue the floating dock will
generate, we are expecting up to 350
staff engagement, and these are the
main workers.
“We have five segments comprising
cadets in electrical and mechanical,
and each segment will provide
employment for 75 persons.
“Additionally, the floating dock will
be used for the sea time. For those who
have the expertise in electrical and
mechanical, they will be placed there
to have their own time,” he said.
Jamoh noted that the agency
would be signing a Memoradum of
Understanding with all operators of oil
and gas to take their ship to the floating
dock, and would also be engaging with
the managing partner to help manage
the dock.
He pointed out that they were filing
with the Infrastructure Concession
Regulatory Commission (ICRC)
to confirm and approve the PPP
arrangement they want to embark
upon.
“This is something that is like a cash
cow and we are looking forward to full
operations soon,” Jamoh said.

caught at Aflao border trying to enter
Ghana.

Cyber criminals: Confronting
the few who dent many
I
n recent times, there has been an
alarming increase in the number of
reported cases of Nigerians alleged
to have been involved in Cyber scams
in different parts of the world. The sheer
number of these cases, the amount
involved and the effect that they have on
the national image and psyche require
urgent action by our government and
Nigerians at large.
A few days ago, the United States Treasury
Department sanctioned some Nigerian
cyber criminals who are said to have
targeted U.S businesses and individuals
in wire frauds. In the same week, a young
Nigerian, who was recently featured in
Forbes Magazine’s “30 under 30” pleaded
guilty to cyber fraud involving over $11m
USD in Virginia. Also, some Nigerians
were reported to have been arrested in
the United Arab Emirates for allegedly
committing cyber fraud in excess of $35m
USD, by allegedly illegally diverting money
from a fund set up to combat the negative
effects of COVID-19.
What all these cases portend is
that while the world is battling with
the socio-economic impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic and confronting
the raging agitation against racism and
discrimination, Nigeria has to additionally
cope with more negative news generated
by the activities of her fraudulent citizens
particularly against the United States of
America and the United Arab Emirate.
Another implication of this rising trend
of Nigerian fraudsters becoming bolder
and daring in their nefarious activities
is that the national outcry against their
activities and the operations of the nation’s
law enforcement agencies have not
effectively checkmated these shameful
ambassadors.
It is worrisome that this insignificant
population of misguided Nigerian youths
have chosen to earn a living through
criminal activities. More than that, it
saddens me greatly to notice the damaging
effect the activities of these fraudsters is
having on their fellow country men and
women. These fraudsters have earned the
disrepute for Nigeria as a nation of dubious
people. Millions of Nigerian citizens who
travel across the world to study, work and
live peacefully while abiding with the
laws of their host countries have also now
become stigmatised. The immigration and
homeland security officials will certainly
reinforce intrusive inspections when
screening us at the point of entry and
even when we go around town in foreign
lands. There might be more humiliating
experiences and some negative comments
made against us.
Our genuine business men and women
will have to pass tougher diligence tests
while dealing with new partners. Our
diplomatic chanceries also will have a lot
more work to do and more endurance
to cope with the sniggering that will
be directed at them. One can only pity

qualifications in order to secure good jobs,
at home and abroad.
Only recently, during a trip to Berlin, I
met young Nigerians representing their
nation. They are highly skilled young IT
players who can compete internationally.
Indeed, their skills are of the kind that can
be used to combat cybercrime. However,
they are but a few and their achievements
all too easily get lost beneath the flood of
bad news generated by the fraudsters.
The question then is: why should
millions of innocent, hardworking people
suffer from the thieving tactics of a few
hundreds of people with warped sense
of fiscal immorality and no passion for
patriotism and godliness? Every national
or citizen is an ambassador of his country
wherever he is. That is why the activities of
these international fraudsters or internet
scammers deserve tough and collective
measures from all of us.
There is the need for everybody - current
and past political office holders, leaders of
the private sector, religious leaders, non-
governmental organisations, civil society
leaders, members of the academia and
professional groups. We should all take
responsibility and commit to tackling the
menace of the fraudsters who de-market
our country. The implication of their
actions on the national economy, on inflow
of foreign investments, on international
confidence in the Nigerian nation or self-
respect of the Nigerian is too high.
One has to acknowledge the present
and past efforts of government to deal with
the situation. The current efforts aimed
at curbing this scourge, such as the Cyber
Crimes Act and the Digital Rights Bill, now
seem inadequate in the face of recent
statistics. Definitely, there is an urgent and
apparent need for innovative and effective
approach.
What then do I propose as an initial step?
One, we must totally rejig and restructure
our education system in such a way that it
faces the reality of today’s world and prepare
those who go through the system with useful
skill and mind-set to be useful to themselves
and to society. Our emphasis should shift
from just possession of certificates to that
of skill acquisition and developing the mind
to nurse progressive ambition that will serve
collective interest. There should also be
inbuilt moral, patriotic and positive content
in the knowledge impacted by education
institutions to their students.
This review of the education system
must involve the private sector to work
with educationists and policy makers for
a needs assessment. This will enable the
classrooms to produce graduates that
fit into the industry. The objective of the
proposed review is therefore to achieve
the relevance of the education system
to today and tomorrow’s need of the
industry, create synergy between these
two sectors of the society and eventually
reduce unemployment. It will also create
useful, competent and confident graduates
who can create employment and survive
