PRESS RELEASE

The Government of Akwa Ibom State has received with gladness the notice of the proposed visit of His Excellency, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Mohammadu Buhari, GCFR, to our dear state on December 28, 2018. Consequent to this proposed visit, the Ministry of Youth and Sports, Akwa Ibom State is in receipt of a letter of application dated December 19, 2018, requesting for the use of the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium as the venue for his reception ceremony.

Whereas we have sent a letter, dated December 20, 2018 in response to the application, addressed to Hon. Ini Okopido, the State Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, Akwa Ibom State, we are obliged, in light of the unfortunate attempt by some political actors and commentators to pit Akwa Ibom State Government against President Mohammadu Buhari and the Presidency. May we inform Akwa Ibom People and the entire public, of the reasons for our inability to approve the use of the requested venue. As stated in our response, our inability is hinged on two grounds;

1) That the next season of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) is scheduled to begin on January 13, 2018. In view of this and the fixtures of home matches for Akwa United FC, it will be practically impossible to ‘regrass’ the stadium for pre-fixed matches, if used for non-sports activities, because of the nature of pressure that such events bring on the pitch. Additionally, The Maintenance Contractor (Julius Berger) had also advised that the present atmospheric conditions being very hostile to the pitch, the facility should not be used for non-sport activities during this harmattan period, so as to avoid inflicting long term or irreversible damage to the grass on the football pitch. This reason forced the relocation of the State’s Christmas Carols festival from the earlier proposed Godswill Akpabio International Stadium to the Uyo township Stadium.

2) Moreover, the stadium from its inception has been under a maintenance contract with Julius Berger Construction Company. They operate all the sensitive and non-sensitive components of the facility. They had closed for the year and proceeded on vacation (as it has been their usual practice) and are due to resume on January 7, 2018. The implication of this is that, the technical capacity required to activate the venue is currently unavailable, and this is not within our control.



The Ministry has however approved, in the alternative, the use of the Uyo Township Stadium for the event. We guarantee that the approved venue is in perfect condition.

Signed:


Rt. Hon. (Sir) Monday Ebong Uko

Honourable Commissioner

Very cleaver, matured technical and professional response.
No string attachment

Too many mad people roaming the street of Nigeria.
The Madness is induced by poor govt policies

Mr Akpabio, who helped Mr Emmanuel become governor – against all odds – in 2015, has vowed to stop his re-election in 2019.


Why will the former governor stop his re election bid? Has he under performed?

Britain should underground na.
Country hard for these men under this current government

My take on this is why is the police not dispersing this ones?
Are they not constituting public nuisance?
Are they threat to public peace?

Shut up! He or she asked a very solid question.

Is it the day of delivery that the couple found out they were having more than one child? Is it Nigerians that were helping them have sex? So why should it be our headache?

Somebody is poor, yet they want more than one child, is that not generational poverty they are planning to transfer down their lineage.

You people always coming up with your stupid are you married question, as if being married makes one sensible, Case in point these couple begging now.

A Nigerian soldier who survived the deadly attack on a military base in the northern part of Borno State on Monday said they suffered a heavy casualty due to lack of adequate weapons.

The soldier, who managed to escape the attack alongside other injured troops, said at least 70 soldiers died in the attack.

He said the corpses of the slain Nigerian soldiers are yet to be evacuated, days after Boko Haram took advantage of their lack of munitions, and dealt them a devastating defeat.

The attack at Metele village in Guzamala local government area of the state happened on Monday evening.

PREMIUM TIMES broke the story on Tuesday detailing how rampaging Boko Haram insurgents overran a Nigerian Army battalion in Borno State on Sunday, killing the unit’s commander and dozens of soldiers.

Military sources told PREMIUM TIMES that large cache of arms, ammunition, and military equipment were carted away by Boko Haram fighters during the attack on 157 Task Force Battalion in Metele, Guzamala Local Government Area, at about 6:00 p.m.

Security analysts described the attack as a huge setback for government forces trying to push terrorists further out of Nigeria’s north-eastern flank.

The attack came amidst rising fears for the fate of the troops from the base, which has suffered several attacks in recent past.

PREMIUM TIMES reported on Monday that there were efforts being made to evacuate corpses of the fallen soldiers on Tuesday morning.

But according to some of the soldiers who survived the attack, the move to evacuate the littering corpses was thwarted by the Boko Haram fighters who held their ground and forced the soldiers to abandon the mission.

How Metele was attacked

According to the soldier who survived the attack, their location was invaded after Boko Haram allegedly issued a threat letter last Friday that it would soon take over four strategic military locations around the Lake Chad region.

PREMIUM TIMES has not been able to see or confirm any copy of the threat letter mentioned by the military sources.

“The attack came at about 6pm on Monday evening”, said the soldier.

“When the soldier on top of the observation post alerted that a large number of Boko Haram fighters were advancing, we all got alarmed as we took cover and waited within the base in Metele.

“The fight did not last for more than 45 minutes; but it was bloody because the Boko Haram fighters had more armament advantage that the soldiers.

“When we realised the fight would be against us, we decided to retreat from the camp, but it was rather too late. The camp was surrounded with barbed wire, and the enemy fire was coming from the direction of the entrance. We were like surrounded.

“One of the drivers of the gun trucks decided to push through the barbed wire so that other vehicles could follow and escape, but the truck got stuck, that was how many of our soldiers in other vehicles and those on foot were massacred.

“Those that managed to escape with injuries made it on foot through Cross-Kauwa to Monguno where they boarded commercial vehicles, some even sat in the booth of the Golf cars to get to Maiduguri.

“The Boko Haram made away with about seven gun trucks of the Nigeria army.

The senior non-commissioned military source said no fewer than 70 soldiers were killed while many others who were outgunned by the Boko Haram fighters had to flee.

The soldier, who claimed to have made it to Maiduguri on foot after escaping the heated battle, said an attempt to return to the battlefield to evacuate the bodies of the fallen heroes was thwarted by another attack from the insurgents.

The soldier, who pleaded strict anonymity in this report, informed PREMIUM TIMES that troops in the field are still facing serious challenges of inadequate ammunition and motivation.

The soldier said the deployed team that went to evacuate the bodies of the soldiers could only pick about five corpses before they suffered yet another ambush attack from Boko Haram fighters, forcing them to abandon the mission and fled.

“Up till yesterday, Wednesday, the evacuation of the corpses have not been completed, to the best of my knowledge,” he said.

The source said troops have been recording death of many soldiers almost on a daily basis as Boko Haram sustained attacks on military formations.

“We need the world to hear how we are being sent to slaughter as though our lives don’t matter,” he said.

It could be recalled that on August 12, a group of soldiers stationed at the Maiduguri International Airport staged what seemed a mutiny following a protest over military authority’s move to redeploy them to the frontline.

The soldiers insisted that the redeployment would put them in danger following the fact that those deployed earlier suffered serious casualty due to inadequate arms and ammunition.

The military command in Maiduguri dispelled the claims of the soldiers and some of the revolting soldiers were later court-martialled.

The source to this report said despite the protest and the subsequent court-martial, some of the soldiers that were deployed still suffered the fate that befell their colleagues.

“Some few weeks ago, about 75 of us from our own unit here in Maiduguri were deployed to the front line and it took the grace of God for about 40 of us to return alive.

“When we returned and gave our complaint, we were asked to go back again to Metele, an area near Kangarwa forest, and we have been there for about three weeks now fighting a defensive battle.

“We beg the Nigerian media to help us by echoing out our muffled voices. The children of poor Nigerians have been turned into chicken meant for easy sacrifices by our commanders.

“We are being killed on daily basis as if our lives don’t matter. Of course as soldiers we signed to lay down our lives in defence of this country, but certainly not in the manner we are being presented for slaughter without dignity. A soldier should die fitting and not being chased or overpowered.

“Our morale has been dampened so badly – not only because we are not given our due allowances; but for the fact that we have been outgunned by the Boko Haram.

“The situation has gone so bad that it has gotten to a stage that soldiers would be rushing to pack up their camps and flee upon hearing the news that Boko Haram fighters are advancing.

“We have suddenly lost our spirit of launching attacks because of lack of resources to prosecute the battle. Many of us are ready to do our best, but there has been no requisite support from those sending us out there.

“As I am talking to you now, we have about 70 corpses of soldiers littering the battleground in Metele and when we went to evacuate them on Monday, the Boko Haram gunmen came out in large numbers from all angles – so we had to abandon the corpses after just picking five of them. We left most of the corpses there as I am talking to you now.

“The media need to give this clear picture to the world – Nigerians need to know what we are facing here in the battlefield. Only some of us that escaped managed to get to Maiduguri on Tuesday, but many others are yet to surface.

“The fact of the matter is that we still have a very large number of Boko Haram terrorists out there. As far as the Nigerian army is concerned, it will take more than ten years to chase out Boko Haram from our hinterlands, without the help of foreign forces.

“We can only brag that we can defeat them; but in reality, we lack the capacity to do so, given the kind of approach we accord to prosecuting the war.”

Metele is, for now, regarded as one of the strongholds of Boko Haram in the northern part of Borno State.

It could be recalled that it was in Metele that about 18 Nigeria soldiers were killed and about 151 soldiers and six officered were declared missing when insurgents raided an outpost of 157 Battalion on October 8.

The military had reported that it had killed at least 76 Boko Haram fighters in Metele while giving seven soldiers dead and 16 injured as the official figures of casualties recorded during the attack no troops’ location.

The military, both at the army headquarters, Abuja and at the theatre command in Maiduguri, have not responded to text messages sent to them by PREMIUM TIMES for this report.

Not hospital or schools but church ? we are doomed.

I guess this church have championed this course better than any other organization

One thing I credit to Catholic churches is that they are not trouble maker.
They carry themselves with full maturity.

Educate yourself about my earlier post https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/why-pmb-should-complete-baro-inland-water-port.html

Sir, indeed I will not argue with you cos you are just been feed by/with wht they want you tto see/read on the pages of news paper. Mind you, you are not in the real picture (I hope by this you will understand) We are ..... hence we know the #TRUTH.

So sir, better be WELL EDUCATED!!!

Truly I can now see why Nigeria is at the current state. The country is marked with myriad of fake, baseless news geared towards dividing the country.

Anyway, our leaders are the brain behind all these hate stories & we d followers gullibly follows the script. The consequences I doubt we can bear as a Nation.

FriendNG:
1. Baro Port is the first Northern Nigeria River Port.

2. The contract was initially awarded by Yaradua in 2009.

3. After his death Goodluck Jonathan cancelled it and divert the sum of 19Bilion to Niger Delta Ministry for land reclamation.

4. This new administration re-awarded the contract 3 years ago in the sum of less than 3 billion and it was completed August 2018.

5. It will officially be inaugurated by the end of this year after the road linking the port have been repaired.

6. Cargoes meant for Northern Nigeria will henforth be cleared at Baro Niger state instead of Lagos.

Patrioticman007:
Peter obituary an ethnic bigot, assisted Igbos for the division of Nigerians. This south east is a place ,where dry gin, is more valuable than human souls. Igbos ancestors were enslaved by whites, who called your religion barbaric, raped, brutalized, killed to work as cheap labour in USA, and it is the religion of these blood suckers you are practising ?. Your mumu don do.

The goodthing about south east Nigeria are, they claim to be holy yet, they develop foreign lands with ,cocaine pushing, human trafficking, ritualism, kidnapping, internet fraud,fake drugs, armed robbery, prostitution and others. These people can do anything for money, imagine they have baby factories every where in the south. Northerners don't sell their babies for money, while southerners are good at it. Okija shrine was discovered with thousands of human skulls. Presently human sacrifice are still been carried out in this 21st century.

The world has not forgotten how these southerners indulge in crimes against humanity just to be rich. 90 % of imprisoned Africans in foreign jail's are Nigerians who originated from the south.

Seriously out of context. This is purely HATE SPEECH!!!!
Education should make us and not to destroy us..
Sir, we need to be matured with our public display of words and not allow these our selfish "leaders" divide us further.
Thank you

I don't get it. It takes 9 months to prepare for this moment, yet people get stranded. Why?

Sir/ Ma, are you marry?

Av you given birth before?

Hello the learned fellows

Pls I need to be well guided on this subject matter.

I got married and blessed with a son, I am about to go obtain the birth certificate for my son @ National Population Commission (NPC) but I need clerification on the following

1. I want that my son birth certificate to bear my NAME as his SURNAME & and not my Father's name as his surname
E.g My Name: MANDY, West (Where MANDY is my Surname and West is my Name)
My son proposed name: WEST, Albert (Whereby WEST will be his Surname & Albert will be his First Name)

QUESTION: I hope this will not create problem for me or him in the nearest future if I want to file travel documents for him to join me wherever I am

Mind you our marriage certificate bears my father's surname I.e. MANDY
