The Emir of Kano, Malam Muhammadu Sanusi II, has
urged political leaders in the country to provide selfless
service and good governance to the people. Going by his
words “The bane of leadership in Nigeria is that the
leaders are selfish; they only think of their families, “
Sanusi made the call on Wednesday in Abuja at the
award presentation ceremony of ‘Most Security
Conscious Governor’ to Gov. Yahaya Bello of Kogi by the
Nigeria Police Force.
He said that most leaders in the country only thought
about themselves and their families. “Those of us who
think that public office is a place to enjoy ourselves
should think again.
The Emir attributed the security challenges being
experienced in the country to poverty and lack of
education, among other factors.
“Poverty, lack of education is violence; it breeds violence
because many segments of the society are denied access
to basic amenities, “he said.
He urged people in position of authority to prioritise the
needs of their people, adding that the lack of allocation of
resources had impacted negatively on infrastructure
development.
Sanusi also urged the Federal Government to tackle other
forms of security challenges, having recorded a huge
success in tackling insurgency in the country.He said that security was a big challenge in the country,
generally.
He said that any state that could not provide its citizens
with adequate security was not fit to exist.
“Once a state cannot provide security, it is not fit to be a
state,” he said.
The Emir advised Gov. Bello to do more for the people of
his state, as to whom much is given, much is expected.
The Inspector-General of Police (I-G), Mr Ibrahim Idris,
said the police had recorded outstanding achievements
in the area of security since Bello became governor.
“He was the first to donate vehicles to the Nigeria Police
Force since I became the I-G,”he said.
Gov. Bello said that before his assumption of office, the
security challenges in the state were enormous.
“Kogi State would have been worse than the North-East
the way we met it ,’’ Bello said.
He said that the state was safer now compared to when
investors would runaway because of security challenges.
He dedicated the award to the people of the state and
his mother who was once kidnapped for 93 days by
kidnappers.
Those who attended the ceremony included traditional
rulers, the National Chairman of the APC, Mr John Odigie-
Oyegun, state governors and businessmen.https://www.today.ng/news/nigeria/256858/nigerian-leaders-selfish-families-sanusi

Three people have been confirmed
dead in Sunday’s bomb explosion
in Maiduguri, the Borno State
capital.
An official of the local vigilante
called Civilian-JTF, involved in the
rescue and evacuation of victims
of the blasts, confirmed the death
to journalists.
“So far, three persons are dead,”
Bello Danbatta told journalists on
phone.
“It was a suicide bomb attack, we
are trying to ascertain the actual
number of those injured in the
hospital now,” he added.
An official of the National
Emergency Management Agency,
NEMA, also confirmed the
casualty.
NEMA’s national spokesman, Sani
Datti, said “three of the dead
persons are female bombers, while
17 persons that were injured have
been evacuated to hospitals in
Maiduguri.”
PREMIUM TIMES earlier reported
the two explosions on Sunday
morning which occurred in a
crowded area near Maiduguri’s
main market.
The two blasts occurred in quickwww.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/217647-update-three-confirmed-dead-many-injured-maiduguri-twin-explosions.html?utm_source=&utm_medium=twitter
succession at about 8:48 a.m

Score feared dead as twin blast occured at the popular
Monday market in Maiduguri on Sunday morning.
Boko Haram insurgents are suspected to be behind the attack.
Recall that 56 persons were killed and 177 injured in twin
blasts that hit Madagali Market on Friday in Adamawa.
President Muhammadu Buhari described the Friday's twin
bomb blasts in Madagali, Adamawa State, as a desperate last
act by the terrorists.
Buhari, in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on
Media and Publicity Mallam Garba Shehu, stated that 'putting
an end to this senseless loss of innocent lives remains a top
priority of this administration. Over the past few weeks, the
Nigerian military have made significant advancements in an
offensive aimed at slamming the final nail in the coffin of
Boko Haram.
“This latest attack is obviously an act of desperation, but the
Nigerian military will neither be distracted nor relent,”
In October, a blast ripped through a convoy of vehicles in the
outskirt of Maiduguri killing at least 10. www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/general/breaking-twin-blasts-hit-maiduguri-scores-feared-dead/175474.html

Universities in Nigeria have been charged to undertake
research activities that are relevant to, and support
national goals as well as which promote the uptake of life
changing research outcomes, for the country to realise its
potentials.
A two-term former Vice Chancellor of the University of
Ibadan, Emeritus Professor Ladipo Ayo Banjo gave this
advice yesterday in Abuja, while delivering the maiden
International Lecture Series of the National Universities
Commission (NUC). The quarterly lecture was titled
“Global Rankings and the Nigerian Higher Education
System”.
It was organised in collaboration with the Nigerian
Academy of Letters (NAL), and designed to address
topical national issues especially as they affect the
Nigerian University System (NUS). Yesterday’s lecture was
held to address the controversial issue of ranking among
universities on the global scale.
The NUC Executive Secretary, Professor Abubakar
Rasheed had in October issued a statement to disagree
with global ranking of Nigerian universities, saying such
rankings were untrue and unfair. He had stated that the
NUC would in 2017 conduct its own ranking of Nigerian
universities, and the lecture title of yesterday was to
begin the process.
Reacting to the constant criticism of Nigerian universities’
poor showing in global ranking, Professor Rasheed
submitted that “many of the variables, parameters and
indicators of those rankings were outside the control of
Nigerian universities and the NUC”.
The NUC scribe, however, dissociated the commission
from any reported ranking of Nigerian universities in the
mass media, saying it had not embarked on any such
exercise in the last 15 years. “It was, therefore, embarking
on next year’s ranking to put an end to the spurious
claims and innuendoes about the academic standing and
quality of Nigerian universities”, the statement quoted
Professor Rasheed to have said.
At the lecture yesterday, Professor Banjo agreed that
reports issued by even the biggest ranking bodies have
been subjected to critisisms with a lot of holes picked in
them. According to him, ranking is overly problematic,
reducing a university to a number, derived from
sometimes controversial indicators which are used to
rank it.
“This is evidently unsatisfactory. In view of the large
generational, historical, linguistic, national, regional and
continental diversity of the over 17,000 universities which
must be considered in a fully inclusive ranking project,
the daunting challenge is how, if ever possible, to
formulate globally acceptable, precise and effective
comparability criteria and performance indicators for
accessing the quality of excellence of every university in
every nook and cranny of this world”, Professor Banjo
said.According to him, the fact that most criteria and
indicators are non-global, deals a blow on global rankings.
Besides, ranking fuels cut throat competition, while
undermining meaningful multilateral cooperation among
universities, he said.
He, however, added that in line with emerging trends that
are fostering comaparability and competition in the global
higher education sector, the Nigerian university system
needs to develop and implement its own ranking system.
He noted that this step will be a lot beneficial especially
by helping the NUC monitor the state of affairs within the
system and strenghtening the criteria it uses for
accreditation. “Would-be proprietors of universities will
also have a clear idea of what is involved in starting an
running a university”, he said.
Professor Banjo also noted that a ranking system for the
NUS will stimulate healthy rivalry among universities and
make each university perform its role in accordance with
best practices. Also, it will guide parents and students to
make their choices of universities.
He then recommended the formation of a Nigerian
Universities Ranking Council (NURC) which would provide
a platform where expertise of relevant stakeholders can
be harnessed to provide a creditable framework for the
ranking exercise.
He suggested that the NURC resides mainly in the
Nigerian Academies and among laureates of the Nigerian
National Order of Merit, and be funded through the NUC.
It is to develop the underlying philosophy and key
objectives of each of its different kinds of ranking,
determine the frequency of ranking exercises and to
determine how the ranking would be done and what
criteria to use in ranking.
The Emeritus Professor reminded of the need to comply
with the Berlin Principles on Ranking of Higher Education
Institutions.
Earlier while declaring the lecture series open, Minister of
Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, who was represented
by the Director in charge of Tertiary Education, Hajia
Fatima Ahmad, commended the NUC for the initiative of
setting up the lecture series which are designed to
address topical issues in the university system. He said
the discussions were designed to mark the beginning of
well established ranking in the the Nigerian university
system.
Chairman of the ocassion, and former President of the
Academy of Science, Professor Umar Shehu expressed
support for the decision to establish a ranking process for
the university system in Nigeria. “Academics will continue
to engage in this process”, he said.
Executive Secretary of the NUC, Professor Rasheed said
the lecture series was meant to invigorate the university
system. He added that seasoned educationists of
international repute will deliver the lecture series.
Professor Rasheed informed that the next lecture which
has been slated for February 2017, will be delivered by a
former Executive Secretary of the NUC, Professor Peter
Okebukola.https://www.today.ng/news/nigeria/225378/nuc-process-ranking-universities

Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu on Friday said there is
corruption in every institution, including the EFCC.
Speaking in Abuja when he paid a visit to the Chief of Army
Staff, Tukur Buratai, he called for inter-agency collaboration to
make the fight against corruption in the country succeed.
According to Magu, “there is corruption in every institution,
including the EFCC. The reasons why we are here is that we
need everybody’s support. We do not have the monopoly of
knowledge to do what we are doing.
“There is corruption everywhere, every institution, including the
EFCC. We are battling with internal corruption. So, everybody
has a stake in this fight.
The acting EFCC chairman then used the occasion to inform
the army chief that the commission had concluded
arrangements to mobilise women, including women in uniform
on December 7 to join the fight against corruption.
He solicited the cooperation of the army in that regard.
He added that “we also want to appeal to you to join us in
fighting corruption. Let’s have a change. If you can discipline
yourself, you do not need another person to discipline you.
Self discipline is key.”
Responding, Mr. Buratai assured the EFCC of army’s support
in the fight against corruption, noting that the menace was a
cankerworm that had eaten deep into the society.
He noted that any effort to fight corruption would be resisted
from different quarters, “but once you are steadfast and
focused on your responsibility, you will succeed, no matter the
resistance.
“We in the Nigerian army have taken it as a policy to ensure
that we check ourselves and avoid any situation that will lead
to mismanagement and lack of accountability or corruption.”
The army boss observed that a number of Nigerians had for a
long time forgotten the basic principle of being accountable to
themselves and the society at large.
He said “the erosion of this attribute has affected the general
well-being of Nigerians.”www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2016/12/02/there-is-corruption-in-efcc-magu/
