The Federal Government, on Wednesday, documented a Notice of Appeal, testing the choice of a Federal High Court Lagos, which expelled an obligation recuperation suit it recorded against Nigeria Agip Oil Company Ltd, and Brasoil Services Company Nigeria Ltd over undeclared oil shipment.

FG through its advice, Prof. Fabian Ajogwu, SAN, had recorded the suit in 2016, trying to recuperate just about 12 billion dollars in missing unrefined petroleum income from some International Oil Companies.

Government is asserting 55 million dollars against Agip, in missing oil income, and guaranteeing the aggregate of 4.8 million dollars against Brasoil in comparative conditions.

It says the totals speak to deficits in the measure of abundance raw petroleum lifted out of Nigeria.

In its judgment conveyed on Wednesday, Justice Mojisola Olatoregun, rejected the offended party’s suit in light of the fact that it neglected to set up adequate certainties on the dominance of proof.

On account of Agip, the court held that the offended party should give adequate proof to demonstrate that the defendant really lifted overabundance 500,000 barrels of raw petroleum, so as to qualifies it for the reliefs looked for.

So also, for the situation against Brasoil, the court likewise held that the weight lays on the offended party to demonstrate and indicate essential confirmations, in a quest for its case, adding that it neglected to set up same.

On that premise, the court expelled the offended party’s suits.

Disappointed with the lower court’s judgment, FG through its insight, documented a Notice of Appeal testing the whole courts choice on a few grounds.

For example, FG asserted that the lower court blundered in law, when it held that the offended party’s case comes up short for absence of confirmation on a dominance of proof, and held that it was not qualified for every one of the reliefs looked for in its corrected proclamation of case dated April 12, 2017.

The appealing party fights that the court neglected to consider significant certainties put before it, and furthermore failed in law when it held that the defendant had played out all the applicable commitment in connection to an assertion of unrefined petroleum income to be transmitted to the FG.

The offended party affirmed that in accordance with the setup standard of law, it is of the sentiment that there must be a critical examination and assessment of all confirmations brought under the watchful eye of the court.

The offended party is along these lines, looking for a request of the investigative court, putting aside the choice of the lower court, by which it rejected its suit.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Federal government had likewise sued Total E&P Nig. Plc, charging that the oil organization under-announced the volume of raw petroleum it dispatched out of the nation between January 2011 and December 2014.

The government blamed the oil organization for duping it as much as of 245 million dollars, by supposedly sending a few barrels of raw petroleum out of Nigeria, without making a due settlement to the administration.

Comparative suits are likewise pending against Chevron Nigeria Ltd, Chevron Petroleum Nigeria Ltd, Shell Western Supply and Trading Ltd among others.

All suits are pending before Justice Olatoregun of the lower court.

These are oil companies, and it's too easy for them to buy over even the most upright judge, even in the Holy See, let alone this corruption-infested Nigeria

Racoon:
This outcome of this tribunal will surely set another legal precedence in Nigeria.Lets see how INEC will defend all the culdesacs it have dragged itself into.

Yes, it will, regardless of the outcome, and after it our judicial and electoral processes would be enriched

Barca are extremely poor at Absorbing pressure, whenever they face a strong team that will give them a good run for their money, they'll collapse like a pack of cards.
They team is just an average team, Messi is the only difference, remove Messi and Barca is nothing. I hope the Liverpool victory would motivate other teams, especially the so called underdogs, and make them see that they can really defeat Barca if they play well

Naijaalive:
The Oyo state governor-elect, Seyi Makinde, has said the state cannot pay the new national minimum wage of N30,000 just signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Makinde in a report in Tribune published on Wednesday, May 1, said the federal governments should have allowed states to negotiate the new minimum wage for their workers as the condition of living varies from state to state.

Makinde told reporters in Abuja after attending the induction programme for returning and newly elected governors that he intends to negotiate with the Oyo state branch of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) because the state could not afford to pay the amount.

He said the federal government lacks the power to impose a national minimum wage of states since Nigeria is a federation.

https://www.everyvibes.com.ng/2019/05/i-cannot-pay-30000-new-minimum-wage-seyi-makinde.html

All states can absolutely afford to pay the 30k minimum wage, any state that can not has no business being a state in Nigeria. The govs need to cut all wasteful expenditures, reduce the number of their aides, especially those seniors assistants, senior special assistants, senior technical assistants, technical assistants....and all sort of nonsense! This is exactly what the gov of Ebonyi just did, he sacked over 300 of the useless and meaningless aides.
The states shd also look for ways of increasing their IGR, instead of sitting and waiting for allocation from Abuja every month

PhrankEfe:
Hello house, I kindly need your help on the procedure of registring ices and other necessary information. Thanks.

You will need to specify which particular area

NewBea:
Which one is Ices?

ICES is one of the credential evaluation bodies designated by IRCC, just like WES, IQAS, ICAS, CES

AzariahYaa:
Finally, ICES came through!!

Registered 7th January,2019

Transcript was sent from my School to them on 14th January, 2019 and was received same day

Evaluation was completed 1st April,2019.

I received an email from them on 3rd April,2019(this was after I had bombarded them with emails asking for updates on the evaluation of my transcript).

Got an email from UPS that it would be delivered today, 8th April,2019 and Yes!!it did...Hallelujah!! Another hurdle crossed!

In all, it took approximately 11weeks for ICES to evaluate my transcript.

Meanwhile, my hubby registered same day he did mine, and his evaluation was completed and sent back to Naija within 3weeks! We believe it is because his transcript was from a UK University.

Now we are sitting gallantly in the pool with CRS 453... May the next draw favour us all!

Congrats! ITA Fall on U

duchessgoddess:
Hello everyone, please I need your help; in registering for ICES assessment, it is required that I upload a copy of my certificate. Thing is, I haven't received my certificate yet. Can I upload only my statement of result? Or must I go get my certificate? And then for my int'l passport page, it expired in January and I haven't renewed yet. Do I upload like that since the reason they need it is to verify my age?

Cc: Queencyco

As I've advised others before, scan that your statement of result and send via email to ICES, ask them to review it tell u if it will be accepted in lieu of your final certificate. This will put ur mind 100% at rest, u know $200 no be yam

mimini:
But do they use statement of results cos I heard that WES uses statement of result. I cannot go through the hassle of transcript cos I am far away from my school.

You will need transcript for all of them, i dont think anyone accepts statement of result alone

I would love Buhari not to accept his resignation, but allow Onnoghen to defend himself in court, this will allow him clear his name, while his resignation might mean that the charges against him will be dropped, in this case he won't av the opportunity to clear his name.
It would av been very nice and honorable if Onnoghen had resigned when the whole matter began, but he allowed some ethnic bigots and political parties to push him to his doom, those people can't help him now

After 11 years, the NPA Simulation Facility comes alive in Apapa, Lagos.

In a bid to conserve foreign exchange, the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) has partnered its joint venture partners to build a simulation centre for the training of pilots locally.

Speaking at the inauguration of the simulation centre in Lagos yesterday, the Managing Director of the NPA, Hadiza Bala-Usman, said training of pilots locally would save the federal government over $1 million (N366 million) annually spent in training pilots in the United Kingdom, other Europe countries and the United States of America.

The Simulator will be used to train pilots and for research and other purposes. The Simulator has software that realistically simulates the behavior of a vessel and its systems in a simulated maritime environment and has an interface that allows the person using it to control the ship & interact with its simulated surroundings.

The idea which was conceived 11 years ago has the Honourable Minister of Transportation Rt. Hon. Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi commissioned the NPA Simulation Facility.

According to NPA, the Centre has in the last 8 months trained 98 Nigerian pilots that hitherto would have been sent abroad, saving the country a significant amount of foreign exchange. With this commission, the Authority is expected to save an average of One Million US Dollars ($1,000,000) annually from the training pilots overseas yearly.

These are images of the centre and also from the commissioning in Apapa, Lagos.

The project was conceived under the PDP GOVERNMENT, just as the TSA, BVN, Abuja Light Rail, Lagos-Ibadan Railway, 2nd Niger Bridge, Ajaokuta-Warri Railway and many others. Unfortunately we didn't complete any of them in our 16-year rule , only for Buhari to start commissioning them within 3 years of his government and now claiming one nonsense achievement

muyiroro:
Thanks boss, I just want to avoid WAEC and verification involve with WES. Also my HND is in Lagos while my ND is in Enugu state and I live here in Lagos.

Ok. Also note that ICES's TIMELINE is now 12-14 weeks, while i gathered WES's now 7 weeks from 20 working days
You'll pay only $200 for all credentials to be evaluated with WES, while you $200 for each credential with ICES
ICES also said the evaluation of credentials from Africa might take longer as they may need to verify due to the high rate of credential "forgery" or so

muyiroro:
Pls ooo, any body that have access IHND and ND through ICES should help. I want to know if their accessment is 2 or more results.

Note that u will pay for each certificate evaluated separately. Why not go for Wes?

Kogigallll:
They claimed they received it on the 4th January. I paid on the 2nd. School sent same day.
It was exactly 8weeks 2 days from January 4th.

Send them a mail.

That's quick. Lucky u!

Senate President Bukola Saraki yesterday explained the controversial refusal of the Senate to confirm Mr. Ibrahim Magu as the substantive chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Saraki said that Magu’s appointment may have been confirmed but for the failure of the Presidency to explore the established channel of lobby.

Besides, he said that “political solution” should have been applied after the Senate rejected nomination twice.

The Senate President spoke at the orientation programme organised for Senators-elect and House of Representatives members-elect ahead of the inauguration of Ninth National Assembly in Abuja.
Saraki attempted to parry questions on why the National Assembly did not go to court for a definite pronouncement on the failed confirmation of Magu’s appointment as EFCC’s substantive chairman.

He was forced to respond when the question was asked repeatedly.

Saraki said that it is left to the Executive arm of government to find a replacement of any ministerial nominee rejected by the Senate.

Talking specifically on Magu’s nomination, he said that there was no doubt that the Senate has the power to confirm or reject his nomination.

On why the Senate did not go to court for a pronouncement on whether the Senate has the power to confirm the EFCC chairman, he said that there were over 12 court cases pending on the issue.

Saraki, who said that some of the cases had been pending in court for over two years, added that he cannot explain why the cases have not been decided.

He, however, noted that “in cases like the EFCC chairman, there is always the need for political solution and dialogue to solve such issue. But to say whether the Senate has the power to confirm, the Senate has power to confirm. The power of confirmation is there even in America which we copy.

“When the Executive makes appointment, there is issue of lobby. This is why we want a particular nominee. It is done even in America.”
On the election of presiding officers of the Ninth National Assembly, Saraki advised senators-elect and members-elect that they should be in the chamber on the day of inauguration.

He insisted that the inauguration and election of presiding officers only take place on the floor of the two chambers of the National Assembly.

The Clerk to the National Assembly, Mohammed Sani-Omolori, who opened the orientation, gave an overview of the National Assembly, including structure, functions and inter-parliamentary relations.

In the course of his presentation, Sani-Omolori said that one of the functions of the Senate is the confirmation of nominees from the executive arm of government.

The power of confirmation of nominees prompted questions on the confirmation of Magu and why he is still serving as Acting Chairman of EFCC when he was denied confirmation.

Sani-Omolori said that he was not in a position to answer political questions and referred the question on Magu to Saraki.

Saraki noted that the options are that the President can lobby the legislature or present someone else at the event of rejection of a nominee.

Saraki said: “The point I am making is that we should not make too much news on the process of electing a presiding officers. What is important is for the members of the Senate to decide who is the best to lead them so that they can have stability.”

On non-confirmation of Magu, Saraki said: “The truth really is that the issue of confirmation whether ministerial or other appointments, is done by the entire Senate. Generally, we have an unwritten practice that we would get the input of senators from the state where the appointee hails from before we start the screening process in the Senate. By the powers of the Senate, if such a nominee is rejected, then it is upon the executive to find a new replacement. The issue really is that the Senate has the powers to reject a ministerial nominee.

In the case of the appointment of the chairman of the EFCC, the powers of the Senate are very clear in the constitution. For any nominee, we are guided by the constitution. It is an appointment made by Mr. President, subject to the confirmation of the Senate, which means the Senate has the powers to either say yes or say no.

“In a situation where the Senate rejects, it is up to the executive at that time to send in a replacement or in some cases, when we have appointment rejected and the executive will re-present before the Senate but if the senators again, took a decision to reject the nominee, the appointment stands rejected.


“On getting judicial interpretations of their roles, there are 17 cases in court that have been on now for two years and for one reason or the other, those cases have not moved. I cannot explain what happened. They are cases that have to deal with asking the courts to give judicial interpretations to who has the powers to do one thing or the other. I am sure by the time the judiciary gives the interpretations, there is no doubt about it that it will be clear that it is the Senate that has the powers

“In things like this in a democracy, there must be a political solution, there must be dialogue. I think that is the most important thing. The Senate has the power of confirmation. It is how to manage those issues that are the challenges. There will be many like that in the Ninth Assembly. The question is how the executive and the legislators will work together and find a solution. It is how the relationship between the two arms of government.

“There is also a wrong perception that the leadership of the Senate has those powers. The powers of the presiding officers are in the members. It is the members that decide the leadership of the National Assembly. Most of the decisions especially confirmation, are usually taken by the members. In other countries, the executive there are seen to be lobbying the legislators. When they have a candidate, they will go and lobby to get in their preferred choice appointed.”

https://www.google.com/amp/thenationonlineng.net/why-we-didnt-confirm-magu-by-saraki/amp/

Saraki should just say he needed the presidency to bribe him. Period. Why the heck is he using the word "lobby", when we all know he meant 'BRIBE". But Buhari i know refused to bribe him, whichever way Buhari had his way in the end, hasn't Magu completed his 4 years with the option of an extension? Hasn't he even outlived Saraki? This is just one of the many moral lessons of life. See how the people of Kwara have helped Nigerians and Buhari deal with the perennial Saraki problem once and for all
