President Muhammadu Buhari said Friday in Abuja that while the rescue and safe return of the remaining Chibok girls remains a top priority of his administration, he will not fall for the antics of fraudsters who have been asking the Federal Government for money to negotiate the release the girls.

Receiving the Primate and Archbishops of the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) at the State House, President Buhari said that his administration will continue to insist on a thorough authentication of the identities and bona fides of any persons or groups claiming to have custody of the girls before entering into negotiations with them.

The President however assured the Anglican Bishops of his steadfast commitment to the rescue of the Chibok Girls, saying that their safe return will be one of his greatest fulfillments in office as President.

President Buhari also assured the clerics that the Federal Government will give maximum attention to the clean-up of Ogoniland which was launched yesterday.

‘‘We inherited the United Nations Environmental Project report from the previous administration. We decided it needed urgent attention, in spite of the economic crunch because of our concern for the welfare and environmental comfort of the people of Ogoniland,’’ he said.

Earlier in his remarks, the Primate of the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Most Rev Nicholas Okoh pledged the support of the church in helping the Federal Government achieve its objectives of improving security and the welfare of Nigerians.

The DSS Director in Abia State, Mr Korade Kamoju has paraded the 4 suspected cultists who killed and beheaded 2 students of ABSU on March 12th, 2016.

Speaking during the parading of the suspects, the Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu described the cultists as fierce and wicked, he regretted how some children who are sent to school could abandon schooling and turned to evil, stating that they represent kidnappers and everything that is bad about the society.

Further, he wondered how many lives that must have been wasted by the activities of the cultists and said that God will judge and sanction them appropriately.

Dr. Ikpeazu said that anyone who kills and goes ahead to use the heads of his victims as goal posts must have gone to the limits and assured that the full weights of law will fall on them, adding that it will serve as deterrent to other cultists and thanked the security agencies for a work well done

Parading the suspects, Mr Korade Kamoju said, following the incident that happened in ABSU in which 2 students were beheaded, his men went into investigation and found out that the suspects are members of Bokinafaso who went on revenge mission to another cult-Mafiance over the killing of their leader, Mr. Collins Agwu Kalu, popularly called Biggy. Mr Kamoju stated that that was a lesson that there is no hiding place for criminals in Abia and thanked the Governor for his support as well as other security agencies (Army and Police) for their assistance.

The suspects included: Chikezie Macdonald (a.k.a, Walking Dutch-22ys), Chidozie Ob (a.k.a Small body-21yrs), Chukwuemeka Awom (a.k.a Arch Angel-25yrs), and Chigozie Francis Eberendu (a.k.a Star boy-23yrs)

Remarks By His Excellency, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, Con, Governor Of Rivers State At The Launch Of The Clean-up Of Ogoniland And Other Oil Impacted Communities In The Niger Delta At Bodo City, Rivers State On Thursday 2nd June 2016

Protocol

It is my honour and privilege to welcome the President and Commander-In-Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR and his highly distinguished entourage to Rivers State to formally launch the implementation of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Report and the Clean-Up of Ogoniland and other oil impacted communities in the Niger Delta.

2. For decades, the entire Niger Delta has been subjected to the worst forms of environmental degradation ever experienced by mankind in this part of the world. Millions of barrels of oil have been spilled into the environment by companies exploiting and extracting hydrocarbons from the area with severe consequences to the ecosystem, including wildlife, marine habitations, soil and water quality and human health.

3. Despite continuing protests by the people, the environmental degradation of the Niger Delta has not stopped. Oil spills continue to occur with distressing regularity even in Ogoniland, where oil exploitation had since 1993 ceased.

4. As the UNEP Report starkly reveals, the degree of environmental damage in the Niger Delta has been so deep and expansive that it would take several decades to carry out full remediation of impacted sites.
5. The UNEP report, which is the precursor to today’s event, is significant for at least, two reasons. First, it presents the best available and factually detailed documentation of the scale of the existing and continuing damage to the entire Ogoni environment and by extension, the Niger Delta
6. Second and most significantly, it presents a clear roadmap on the priorities for action by government, stakeholders and the international community in terms of clean-up, remediation and restoration of the damage that has accumulated over the years.
7. For us as a people and the direct victims of the most brazen forms of environmental abuse, today is a watershed in our collective struggle for environmental justice from the Nigerian nation and the world community.

8. We therefore welcome this initiative wholeheartedly as shown by our enthusiastic presence, believing that the recommendations of UNEP will be systematically executed. This is because, we believe, that only environmental justice would restore sustainable peace, stability and socio-economic progress in the Niger Delta.

9. We are therefore commend Mr. President’s determination to close this ugly chapter in our country’s history. Although this has taken long in coming; it is never too late when it comes to the environment. Therefore, Mr. President Sir, your presence in Ogoniland today is a testimonial of the long awaited clean-up and remediation exercises of the Niger Delta polluted environment.

11. We appreciate and most sincerely thank Your Excellency for this bold initiative. We commend Mr. President for the work you are doing generally to stamp out corruption, stabilize our economy and make Nigeria a nation where no man is oppressed. May God give you the enablement to surmount these challenges.

12. We thank all our stakeholders, including our international friends, who have sustained the struggle and advocacy to preserve our environment for the succeeding generations.

13. Finally, we acknowledge that this is a federal initiative. The direct impact is borne by our people. We therefore urge all our stakeholders to embrace and support this Federal Government gesture and ensure a hitch-free exercise.

14. On our part, the Rivers State Government will ever be willing to provide the platform for a smooth achievement of this long awaited intervention.

15. May God bless Rivers State and the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The Federal Government on Tuesday said the pest, Tuta absoluta, popularly known as ‘Tomato Ebola’, which is responsible for the massive destruction of tomato in farmlands, had invaded six states in Nigeria.

It also disclosed that Nigeria spent about N80bn ($400m) annually importing tomato paste, adding that many of the imported products were substandard.

The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Mr. Audu Ogbeh, who said this during a press briefing in Abuja, stated that the report that tomato processing factories had mopped-up tomato fruits in Nigeria was unfounded and untrue.

According to him, the highly reproductive nature of the tomato pest coupled with the favourable environment and lack of management knowledge for containment resulted in its spread like a wild fire without any challenge. This development had led to the destruction of tomato fruits in Jigawa, Kano, Katsina, Kaduna, Plateau and Lagos.

Ogbeh, however, stated that the Federal Government had started consulting with states and experts in other to fashion out measures to tackle the pest.

He said, “The pest can also attack even pepper and Irish potato. So we are confronting something quite serious. But the good thing is that we are tackling it right now as experts will commence work immediately. We are bringing the commissioners and governors of states to jointly attack this pest, which, if not dealt with, will create serious problems for food security in our country.”

He stated that the experts had, however, offered some varieties of tomato that grow well in the western part of the country as alternatives.

On the amount spent on importing tomato paste, the minister said, “We have two processing plants for tomato paste in Nigeria, Erisco and Dangote, and their capacities are huge. We welcome their arrival because our annual import bill of tomato paste is about $400m and it is a good sign that we can now produce here and make money for our farmers.”

Proffering measures that could be used to check pests as well as manage pesticides in Nigeria, CropLife International, a group of agro-professionals, advocated the use of hazard-based approach rather than a risk-based methodology.

The group, in a communique issued at the end of a two-day West and Central Africa Hub and Regulatory Workshop in Abuja, also called for the promotion and adoption of relevant biotechnologies in farming activities.

In the communique, it insisted on the need for safe and responsible use of pesticides as well as safe management of empty pesticide containers.

During the workshop, CropLife got the support of the Senate towards enacting of a pesticide legislation to mitigate the problem of misuse and address importation of pesticides including marketing, storage, application and use, among other provisions.
