The Kogi Government on Friday, threatened to terminate the appointment of any of its staff, under its health sector, that participates in the ongoing indefinite strike by doctors in the state.

Mrs Kehinde Lawal, the State’s acting Head of Service, made the threat in a circular she signed in Lokoja on Friday.

According to her, the state government will also adopt the policy of ‘no work no pay’ for any doctor on strike.

Lawal further said government was doing its best to make sure that all the salary arrears of cleared officers, by the screening committee, would be paid within the shortest time possible.

“It is equally noteworthy for every union to realise that the best way to resolve any issue is through peaceful dialogue and not strike action.

“In view of the foregoing, any staff of Kogi State Government that decides to go on strike is hereby notified that such person will have his/her job at stake.

“The policy of ‘No Work No Pay’ will be adopted for any worker that embarks on strike action,” she said.

The state chapter of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) has directed its members to embark on indefinite strike, claiming that the state government failed to pay salaries of its members, among other demands.

Barely 48 hours into the strike, health activities have been grounded in most state government-owned hospitals across the state.

A visit to the state Specialist Hospital, Lokoja, showed that the ever busy hospital had few or no patients.

One of the patients, Mrs Jumai Usman, disclosed that no doctor was on ground to attend to her, adding that the development had forced many patients to patronise private hospitals.

She urged the state government and the NMA to dialogue and reach mutual agreement, to save the lives of patients, especially the poor who could not afford the high cost of bills at the private hospitals.

He disclosed that the government is working on the Single Window Project, a one-stop shop for cargo clearance, adding that it will reduce cargo clearance by almost fifty percent.

THE Federal Government, yesterday, disclosed a maritime security strategy to combat sea piracy and other criminal activities on the nation’s coastal and territorial waters. The accompanying cost of the implementation is put at N186 million.

Speaking at the one day conference on fast-tracking Port Reforms, Minister of Transport, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, said the government decided to move against these criminal elements so as to attract more cargo traffic and investors to the sector.

For the implementation of the strategy Amaechi said that President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the acquisition of three aircraft, three helicopters, 12 fast moving vessels and 20 amphibious vehicles for that purpose. He said, “Turning our ports to world class port will not happen now, it will take time but we must start from somewhere,” adding that since inception of the current administration, the goal of government in the reformation of the maritime sector is providing enabling environment for the modernization and expansion of existing infrastructure.

He disclosed that the government is working on the Single Window Project, a one-stop shop for cargo clearance, adding that it will reduce cargo clearance by almost fifty percent. At the one day conference which was organised by The Nation Newspapers, the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Shippers’ Council, (NSC) Mr. Hassan Bello, however, stated that the nation’s ports still remain the costliest in the West and Central Africa sub-region. Bello who was represented by Cajetan Agu, a Director in the NSC, also said that while it takes 20 days to clear a container in Nigeria, it takes only seven and three days in Togo and Benin Republic respectively.

ABUJA—Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, has urged Japanese Trade and Investment Mission to invest in Nigeria by setting up manufacturing plants, instead of shipping-in finished products.

The Minister stated this in Abuja yesterday, while discussing with a Japanese Public and Private Joint Mission in efforts to promote trade and investment in Nigeria.

Adeosun told the big Japanese companies that the country is ready to continue to do business with the rest of the world.

The Japanese Vice-Minister for Foreign Affairs led the 32 private sector and government organisations to the Ministry of Finance for the engagement.

She said Nigeria would welcome Japanese investors in banking, insurance, manufacturing and other sectors.

“We will assist you to do well. Many companies came into Nigeria and are doing very well and there is nothing to stop Japanese firms from doing very well,’’ she said.

Adeosun said government was vigorously working to improve the country’s business environment by investing in transportation infrastructure and had made doing business in Nigeria easier.

She said: “Specific reforms by removing lots of impediments, fiscal incentives to facilitate your coming into Nigeria to invest and drive your businesses, are being put in place.’’

Adeosun noted that Africa’s biggest economy was now out of recession and would grow again, adding that the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan, ERGP, articulated by the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari was designed to stabilize the economy and propel it to growth.

The Minister told the Trade and Investment Mission that the Plan envisaged stabilising the macroeconomic environment, boosting agricultural production for food security, ensuring energy sufficiency, improving transportation infrastructure and driving industrialization through manufacturing.

She stated that there were opportunities for the Japanese private sector investors, especially through Public Private Partnerships, PPP, in the development of transportation infrastructure, hydropower and ports

Adeosun expressed appreciation to the Japanese government for supporting and executing many projects through the Japan International Cooperation Agency, JICA.

Earlier in his remarks, the leader of the Mission, the Japanese Vice-Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Shunsuke Takei, said they were on a Mission to Nigeria as part of efforts by the Japanese government to actualize the US$30 billion Public and Private investment pledge made in August 2016 during the sixth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD) in Nairobi, Kenya, which was attended by President Muhammadu Buhari.

He said that given the size of the Nigerian population and market as well as its economic recovery and potential for growth, Japanese investors were desirous of investing in Nigeria, but noted challenges in the areas of security, legal and power environments.

The solutions is simple

1. let this be a state issue if certain states want to buy and donate land for herdsmen.

2. Start your own ranch.

3. Stop driving cattle and use trucks to transport. If you want to be old school use trains.

4. Federal government can give loans to these people to buy land. Through bank of Agriculture with generous terms.

The fact that you are unable to distinguish religion from culture explains the source of that tripe above. I share the northern culture, yet I have nothing to do with the predominant religion in the North. The fact that underage marriage is permitted in Islam does not mean it is permitted in Hausa-Fulani culture. How then can you call term a culture sick because some of its members adhere to a religion that permits such? The daftness of your statement must now be fully clear to you.

[s]Furthermore, your excuse for the sickening satanic practices and raw paedophilia in the South East holds no water, because whenever your ilk are caught with their teenage girls in their baby factories, caught with cocaine stuffed up their anus, or caught with human parts for your satanic rituals; you blame it on the ibo culture of "huzzling" and "competition among peers". The evidence is in all the drug trafficking threads on NL where your kin try to shamefully defend their innate criminality. Is that not excusing your satanic practices and paedophilia with culture? Is Okija Shrine in Daura?
Are the scores of girls that are raped daily in baby factories by Ibo paedophiles any older than Ese Oruru? Is a bag of rice not worth more than an eastern baby today?[/s]

There is nothing as dangerous as fighting a man who has openly shown he's willing to die for a course. Clearly this is the major challenge BH poses to our military. Time for bickers and banters is over, lets all collectively confront this monster threatening our co-existence. Nigeria is at war.
The truth about BH can never be known by mere simplifications of religious and ethnic bias. It transcends the obvious facts wherewith. How did a small group of religious enthusiast rapidly turn into a monstrous BH. Maybe we can start telling ourselves the truth by looking critically into that narrative. Nigeria needs help........ Cry for help Nigerians
