Guests who participated at the comedy show expressed their satisfaction with the quality of entertainment they were thrilled with as well as quality of comedians who performed.

This show which came on the heels of disturbing incidences of depression in and outside the Federal Capital Territory Abuja provided a mood of relaxation to the residents.

It also raised an awareness campaign against depression and suicide which has recently not received the needed attention, leaving depressed souls to navigate through their challenges on their own.

Guests could not but rain him with lots of cash on the stage.

He also expressed gratitude to the guests, partners and sponsors for their continuous loyalty, promising that the brand will not disappoint them.

Reacting to publications online about Chuks D' General storming out of the event for not been called before Josh2Funny to perform, he said it particularly did not happen that way, stressing that Chuks D'General is not only his senior colleague but like a brother to him and was actually with him the next day after the event.

FCTA Concludes Stakeholders Engagement Ahead Of Planned Reintroduction Of On-Street Parking Scheme

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) on Thursday engaged with stakeholders ahead of plans to resume On-Street Parking Policy in the nation’s capital.

The Administration says it has backed the scheme up with adequate laws to guarantee its success.

It would be recalled that the On- Street Parking Management was suspended on April 14, 2014 as a result of of an FCT High Court ruling that declared the operation illegal because it was not specifically mentioned in the 2005 FCT Road Transport Regulation.

Speaking on behalf of the administration, the Acting Secretary, Transport Secretariat, Malam Usman Musa Yahaya noted that the new on street parking operations have been giving specific rules of engagement and the operators have been advised to train their staff according to international standards best practices.


Justice Peter Affen in his judgement commended the park and pay scheme which was introduced for the purpose of effective traffic management as laudable but ruled that the scheme was unknown to the FCT laws. He blamed the FCT authorities for not backing the scheme with adequate law before he suspended the scheme in 2014

The stakeholders engagement therefore seeks to get the input of trade unions, professional organisations and residents of FCT on ways the policy can further be enhanced for optimum service delivery.

The stakeholders in their input therefore sought to know what incentives the FCTA will offer with the reintroduction of the policy.

Among other stakeholders in attendance include representatives of National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ Actors Guild of Nigeria AGN, and several others.

The representative of Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ and the FCT chairman of the union, Mr. Emmanuel Ogbeche applauded the Administration for the efforts of reintroducing the 'park n pay' policy which he said will address unemployment, increase GDP among others.

While expressing optimism that most of the infractions that characterised the policy earlier will be addressed, Mr. Ogbeche said the union will support any policy that will reduce traffic congestion in the city.

He therefore called for incentives such as more traffic lights, street lighting and more that will benefit a vast majority of residents while maintaining sanity on the roads.

One of the concetionaires who spoke on behalf of the operators, MD/ CEO of ATB NIG Ltd Dr Sulaiman Adejoh assured FCTA and residents that the new operation will follow all the guidlines of the transportation secretariat and plead with all the security agencies in FCT to see the parking Marshall's as agent of the FCTA and assist them in providing decent parking. Stating that all issues that led to the earlier suspension have been addressed and motorists will enjoy smooth driving once again. The new scheme will discourage Indiscriminate parking in the FCT

Hot lines will be provided to FCT residents where cases of abuse by operators will be reported too.

A vote of thanks was given by the acting director of traffic management which brought the promising meeting to an end.

Heritage Bank Regional Head, Daniel Oniko Bags Masters Degree In UK University

The Abuja-1 Regional Manager of Heritage Bank Ltd, Mr. Daniel Oniko has bagged a Masters Degree ( MBA Chartered Bankers) at the prestigious Bangor University, Business School, Maine, Wales UK.

The celebrity banker and a member of Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN) had as part of measures to improve his knowledge in the industry registered for the overseas study.

This may not be unconnected with efforts to keep himself abreast new trends in the ever dynamic industry where innovation and creativity rules.

This also became a crucial move for him because of the strategic position he holds in the bank, which has continuously demonstrated commitment to offer customers a wow experience in their service delivery.

The happy and fulfilled Chartered Banker who had taken to social media platforms to share photos of his graduation ceremony from the elite school has since attracted accolades from friends, colleagues and well wishers who have hailed him for his thoughtfulness in improving himself in the industry despite the enviable position he currently occupies.

The Regional Head wields years of experience in consumer, retail and investment banking, spanning almost two decades.

He is believed to be an influential figure in the bank, which is linked to his closeness to the Managing Director/CEO, Ifie Sekibo.

He has been a loud voice in the call to move Nigeria from poverty to prosperity through conscious creation of viable environment for small businesses and young entrepreneurs to thrive.

According to him, they are the backbone of local economies around the world, they happen to be the biggest employers, job creators and contributors of the national gross domestic products.

He is a firm believer that giving SMEs and young entrepreneurs leverage to contribute immensely to the development of their host community through engaging the youths and unemployed individuals will bring about and facilitate economic boom.

PRESS RELEASE

June 29, 2022

RULAAC Commends the Doggedness of Samuel Ihensekhien Jnr esq,ONE LOVE FOUNDATION,CSO,RULAAC, and Other Human Rights Lawyers and Activists in fighting to Secure Justice for Gloria Okorie :

Urges the Nigeria Police to comply with Court Orders

RULAAC welcomes the judgment of a Federal High Court in Abuja awarding N60 million in punitive and general damages to Glory Okolie against the Nigeria Police for the gross violation of her fundamental human rights.


The court presided over by Justice Y. Haliyu on Thursday June 23, 2022 granted every relief sought in Okolie’s case

Recall that Okolie was illegally detained and held in a cell by the Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Team (IRT) of the Nigeria Police Force for more than 150 days on bogus allegations of spying for the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Justice Haliyu in granting the originating motion and reliefs filed by Okolie awarded a total sum of N60,000,000 (sixty million naira) in punitive and general damages caused to her by the police.

RULAAC commends the doggedness of Gloria's legal representative, Samuel Ihensekhien Jnr, and the FCT high court in delivering Justice in the case. RULAAC also Commends other human rights lawyers, civil society organisations and the media whose vigorous and consistent campaign resulted to this happy outcome

RULAAC calls on the Attorney General of the Federation and the Nigeria Police Force who are respondents in the fundamental human rights application to promptly comply with the court judgment and pay the victim the judgment sum in general and punitive damages separately for infringing on her rights.

We note that the Nigeria Police is notorious for disobedience to court orders made on them, hence the police carry several arrears of judgment debts. This is not a good record for an organization established under the law to enforce the law. It is subversive of the rule of law and we call on the Inspector General of Police to purge the Nigeria Police of serial contempt for the courts by promptly complying with this order.

We also call on the Hon. Attorney General of the Federation who is the chief law officer of the county with a mandate to ensure compliance with court orders to initiate steps to ensure that the NPF complies with this order.

Nigeria should no longer be portrayed as a lawless state which tramples on the rule of law while laying dubious claims to being a civilised and democratic state. This judgment provides yet another opportunity for the Nigerian government under General Buhari to acquit itself.
