The Nigeria Immigration Services (NIS) was not officially notified of the arrest warrant against the embattled former chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Pension Reforms Abdulrasheed Maina, its spokesperson Sunday James told Daily Trust last night.

The Nigeria Immigration Services (NIS) was not officially notified of the arrest warrant against the embattled former chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Pension Reforms Abdulrasheed Maina, its spokesperson Sunday James told Daily Trust last night.

Speaking to Daily Trust by telephone, James said no government agency notified the NIS of the arrest warrant against Maina.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in 2013 declared Maina wanted for alleged pension fraud. The Interpol also reportedly issued an international arrest warrant against the ex-pension task force chief.

But when this reporter inquired from the NIS spokesperson why the service allowed Maina to come back to the country despite the arrest warrant by the EFCC and the Interpol, he said he was not aware.

“Was Maina ever out of the country?” He said. When reminded that Maina reportedly fled to Dubai since 2013 when he was declared wanted by the EFCC, the Immigration image maker said: “I have no such information.”

“As the spokesperson for the service (NIS), I can tell you that we don’t have records of Maina’s exit or entry. We are not aware of his exit or entry from this country from our records,” he said.

Mr James said the service read the order on the pages of newspapers, like other Nigerians.

“We read the warrant of arrest on Maina on the pages of newspapers. The Comptroller General of Immigration would have acted promptly on it if such order was ever communicated to the service,” James, an assistant comptroller of Immigration, said.

He said when individuals are declared wanted by security organizations, such organizations officially communicate the order to the CG of Immigration, “who will immediately put his officials on notice at all entry and exit points across the country. When such orders are given, our officials act promptly and such wanted individuals will hardly escape,” he said.

“They (wanted individuals) can only escape from us if they use any of the several illegal entry and exit points, which are not manned by Immigration officials,” Mr James said.

Sources told Daily Trust that Maina used to come and go between Niger Republic and Nigeria since April but ‘settled down’ in August shortly before the return of President Buhari from his sick-leave in London. It was also alleged that Maina uses a Nigerien passport

So you mean when they export yams, the expose it to "scortching sun" all thru the trip? Hmm! "Internet exporters"

Your daftness has been exposed elsewhere and you are hiding here. lol

This is our roadmap to incremental power, because it not only makes the power cheaper, if the fuel is nearer, but it makes it easier to plan and execute transmission plan, to ensure the power is evacuated and distributed.

Other imminent power sources are the 40MW Kasimbilla power plant, the Katsina 10 MW wind and the 222 MW Gbarain plant in Bayelsa State.

There are also those who just require gas to operate and deliver full power such as the AES 240 MW plant in Lagos, the Geregu I and II plants in Kogi state where 4 (FOUR) turbines of 115 MW each simply do not have gas, the Omotosho and Olorunsogo Power Plants where only 3 turbines out of 12 turbines are working, and with the supply of gas we can increase power from the present 160MW to over 600MW.

This is the road map for incremental power.

There is also the plan for Rural Electricity, which should have been completed by law since 2006 but which we inherited and will complete by June this year.

This will detail out the plan to supply power to many of our vulnerable people who live in Rural Areas.

While this is going on, we have about 2,100 Rural projects, mainly constituency projects that were not completed for our budget in 2016 with a view to completing.

Ladies and Gentlemen, in delivering power, we do not act alone.

We need to collaborate with the Ministry of Petroleum Resources to provide gas, the Ministry of Water Resources to provide access to water from the dams and River basins for hydropower, and the Ministry of Solid Minerals for Coal data to assist in reviving some coal power initiatives.

Of course the Ministry of Environment is our regulator to ensure that our mix of power is clean enough not to damage the environment or hurt our people.

Let me restate again that we are not only working together, we are in regular communication and meetings.

The Honorable Minister of State for Petroleum has promised to accelerate the repairs of the damaged Forcados pipeline and restore us to 5000 MW hopefully in June.

The Vice President was also a visitor to the site to encourage prompt completion of the repair works.

In addition, the Ministry of petroleum is working to increase supply to those plants I mentioned: AES, Olorunsogo, Omotosho and Geregu to mention a few.

The Ministry of Water Resources is providing us with data of many dams and water sources across Nigeria that have fallen into disuse and neglect, all of which are capable of delivering some form of power, from the North to the South – Tiga, Challawa, Oyan and Ikere Dams are some examples that readily come to mind.

We have resolved to compile these data, the current photographs of the sites, the statements of requirements for civil Works, electrical and mechanical works, transmission needs and also the immediate and contiguous population as an investment guide to those who seek to take all the opportunities there.

The Ministry of Solid Minerals has provided available data on the prolific coal deposits that can support coal power initiatives, and at the instigation of the Ministry of Environment with their collaboration, we have resolved the framework for ultimately licensing over a dozen prospectors to generate over 1000 MW of solar energy.

As far as generation of more power is concerned, it is clear to us what we must do. It is clear to us how we must do it and it is clear to us how it must be done.

If generating power was the only problem, then the challenges might be easier.

Transmission

However, there is the challenge of transmission, which is the transportation of the power from the generation plants, to the distribution companies who then take it to the homes, offices, factories etc.

This work is done by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) which was not privatized.

They transport power by building transmission towers and stringing electricity cables, which we call high tension wires here, and installing Transmission, Transformers and so on.

Today they can only transport 5000 MW. That is all we have done since 1950. We must do more and we are on the way.

There are currently about 126 projects awarded for this purpose but with all sorts of problems.

About 907 containers of various equipment imported in the ports, paid for, have been abandoned with demurrage, port charges and all sorts of costs by contractors who have deserted their contracts.

Approvals have been given by Mr. President for their release, we have met with Customs, the shippers, the warehouse owners and operators all of whom have shown an inspiring sense of patriotism to release their containers. These meetings are being chaired by the Vice President.

The containers, expectedly contain all sorts of equipment , which hopefully when recovered will help solve some of our transmission problems.

The related challenge which we are working on is the logistics of warehousing, transportation, inventory and matters related thereto, so that the problem is not transferred from the port to an inland storage. This is part of our roadmap to incremental power. To Transport the power that we plan to produce.

Of course out of the 126 difficult existing contracts plagued by court cases, compensation disputes, way leave challenges, which I mentioned, we have identified 47 which are prepared for completion this year through the 2016 budget. This is the roadmap to incremental power.

But in addition to this immediate plan, TCN has expressed a desire to increase transmission capacity from 5000 MW to 7000 MW, 10,000 MW to 13,000 MW to 16,000 MW and 20,000 MW over 5(FIVE) years from this year.

We have demanded and there are now working to provide us with an implementation plan for each stage; including the detail quantities, design, way leave, cost and everything that will facilitate efficient project implementation

We are also looking at technical possibilities that support the decentralization of the grid while keeping them interconnected.

This will help us take up offers of private investment that ensures that investors can ring fence and collect revenues ­­­­wheeling charges for the power they help to transmit or transport.

Ladies and gentlemen, this may sound long, but I assure you it is only a summary.

I will now attempt to deal with steady power and uninterrupted power.

Steady Power

While I am optimistic about our plans for incremental power, it is steady power that takes us closer to our goal.

Power cannot be steady unless is is enough. Not only must it be enough, we must create excess capacity. The necessity for excess capacity is discernible from what I have said about the need for maintenance repairs and replacements in places like Kainji, Jebba and other plants.

Powerplants and turbines are not different from our generators at home. If you have only one and it needs to be fixed, it cannot produce power during repairs.

What other countries with steady power do, is to have more than enough, so that while they repair damaged, broken or aging ones, they switch to reserves or excess capacity.

That is what we must do.

Our roadmap to steady power must include the construction and delivery of the Mambilla Hydro power plant in Taraba state.

This project has been in conception since 1982. It has suffered from court delays. But it sits very well with the energy mix that I spoke about earlier. It will be the single largest power plant with over 3000 MW in one place and it potentially takes us close to steady power.

I recently read reports claiming that Mambilla hydropower plant is “stalled.”

Nothing can be further from the truth.

To stall means to stop. Mambilla has not started so you cannot stop what has not started.

We have opened discussions with the Governor of Taraba state, Governor Dickson Ishaku, who incidentally was once a Minister of State for Power. The first thing to do is to acquire the land and deal with compensation issues, which the Governor has promised to deal with.

The next step is to create an earth road to the site to enable more tests of soil and related issues to take place.

The feasibility study has been done and so too the Environmental Impact Assessment.

We move one day at a time closer to starting Mambilla.

But while we’re at it Mambila alone , may not give us steady power. We must know how many we are, so that we can meet the per capita demand of each citizen for power supply.

Without the data, which should come from the next census exercise, the roadmap to steady power is further down the road.

In our quest for steady power, we have also sent letters to local Federal universities as a start to conduct their energy audits and supply results to us and enable us determine their energy needs and hopefully provide dedicated power to these learning institutions and affiliate teaching hospitals.

This way we will be impacting education and healthcare.

We are similarly reviewing data collected by Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) in respect of industries and factories with the hope of facilitating similar solutions.

These are some of the elements of our roadmap to stable power. They involve the use of Dedicated and Embedded power on a willing buyer, willing seller basis, which is one of the initiatives of the new Tariff.

Of course our monthly meeting which moves from state to state, power location to power location has held unfailingly since January 2016, from Abuja, to Lagos, to Enugu and Calabar and at each meeting we are resolving problems with all the stakeholders from gas, to generation, transmission and distribution in attendance.

At each meeting we are reviewing the progress report of each DisCo for metering and holding them to the implementation of their own metering plan. Sooner rather than later, we will resolve the metering gap.

Ladies and gentlemen, the roadmap to steady power also requires that reportage of power issues should be accurate.

One of the recent inaccurate reports related to CAPMI, the Credit Advance Payment Metering Initiative ,was that I had scrapped it . This is not correct.

What is correct is that since the DisCos now have a market tariff it is their responsibility to find meters as a basis for collection. I think it is unfair to collect money for meters and not supply it within the agreed time.

The correct Resolution passed at our meeting in Enugu was that DisCos should now fund the supply of meters and wind down the Credit Advance programme gradually, so that the burden of funding meters is not perpetually placed on consumers.

The responsibility of Consumers is to pay their Bills for energy they consume not to finance meters.

Our March 2016 monthly meeting further resolved that where DisCos have collected money, they should supply the meters and stop collecting more money; instead they should use their resources to provide meters.

One of the objectives of the monthly meeting, apart from solving problems, is to issue accurate information signed by all stakeholders present, about development in the power sector.

I will now quickly move to summarizing our roadmap to uninterrupted power.

Uninterrupted Power

This has a lot more to do with our people than with our service providers.

The first thing is sustainability of the sector, particularly financial sustainability. Everybody who provides service must also be paid, so that they can continue to do so.

This is what NBET, the Bulk Trader, is trying to achieve with the Bond that guarantees payment to all, even if one player defaults.

It also requires all of us to pay our bills especially Government consumers.

But more importantly we must conserve energy.

In my recent travels to parts of Nigeria, I observed houses, shops, canteens with external bulbs lit up during the day. This is waste. It will impede our roadmap to uninterrupted power.

Nothing can ever be enough if we waste it.

The whole world is moving towards energy friendly homes, where houses are built to use the rays of the sun to light up a home during the day.

There are many homes, offices, factories etc. that have been so poorly built that you cannot operate in them during the day without switching on a light bulb. This is anti-conservation and we must depart from it.

There is a global surge towards energy saving bulbs, televisions and electrical appliances that switch themselves off or switch to standby mode when not in use. These are global best practices for conservation. Those who have more power supply than us are embracing them and we must not be left behind.

There are public facilities in hotels, hospitals offices where toilets and similar facilities switch off power when nobody is there. I believe they use motion sensors. We must embrace them.

In our homes, we must put off appliances, that are not in use; and we must teach our children, right from school, to conserve energy. This, ladies and gentlemen, is our roadmap to uninterrupted power.

There are many other things I would like to discuss such as the roles of NERC, NBET, REA, NEMSA, NELMCO, NDPHC and the APT in the Vice President’s office which time prevents me from doing.

But let me also say before I close, that we are developing multi-pronged information channels, programmes, docu-dramas that will help enlighten our people and bring more information in the weeks and months to come.

However, in closing let me say that this Government is committed to improving the power situation.

It is working through many teams and very soon results will manifest.

I am optimistic because of the collaboration of my colleagues, the Ministers in other ministries upon which our success depends.

I am optimistic by the enthusiasm and renewed dedication of all our staff in the ministry and the Honourable Minister of State.

Most importantly, the enthusiasm of our young people makes me believe that we can solve this problem.

Mustapha, the young man who sat next to me on a flight to Abuja from Lagos recently, makes me believe that this can be achieved. He is already a player in the solar business.

Almost one in every five of the young people I encounter is doing something with power.

This is a critical mass that is bigger than the power challenge.

Whenever Nigerian youths sign up for a cause, they have never lost.

From the struggle against colonialism, to the agitation for democracy and lately to the demand for change, the Nigerian youth have been victorious.

In this concerted effort for electrifying Nigeria, I expect no other result but victory.

I will play my part and I hope you will all play yours.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is my attempt to summarize what we have been doing with your time and your resources for the past 5 months and 24 days since our assumption of office in the Ministry of Power, Works and Housing.

1. Why isn't Osun ranking 15th or higher in salary payment? Idio.tic question. I don't know the economic indicator your needless hypothetical stats will want to address, but common sense will tell you that Osun state has chosen to pursue an aggressive growth and are currently subjected to some of attendant the risk. Osun was very low in terms of output and sat by, contended to just consume what is "thrown" at them from FAAC. That Osun has decided to invest in the future comes with a price/risk - they will be heavily indepted, salaries may not be regular if there is instability in the national economy. But have you asked yourself, if Osun were to be a typical Bayelsa ( sitting on huge Oil reserves yet can only generate 7% of FAAC equivalent and have virtually no infrastructure to show for it) how far Osun would have gone under an Aregbesola's leadership........

2. Oh Gawd!, you mean you are yet to see the stu.pidity that backed this statement

When you can successfully pass WAEC & JAMB, you probably will comprehend a little better. No guarantees, tho'

Föøl. I told you I haven't?

mapet:
1. You seem to have penchant for asking questions that beggars logic. So all student in Osun will just vamoose to the scenario is that all students in Osun will leave and "grow" Oyo or Abuja or Kano or Rivers? You have not factored that out of these students there will be future and more informed industrialists, Engineers, agro-allied business men, lecturers etc who will rightly create industries along these lines in Osun?

2. If you argue that there are no industry, is that not the more classic reasons why state govts like Osun should invest rapidly in infrastructures to birth these industries? or Do industries just come out of vacuum? or lemme get into your empty head a bit, you think industries will arrive and become viable just by using your "phantom IGR" to pay teachers salaries alone?

There thousands like that. 85% of osun schooled pupils aren't there again. Go to Warri, PH, Anambra and see the huge army of osun people from Ikire, to Iwo to Gbangan, to Ejigbo to Ikirun, Esa Oke back to Osogbo people, they are there in their numbers growing and building up those places. Recently Okanlawon was touring states like Edo and Delta to propagate the 'achievements' of Aregbe from radio station to radio station just cos of the volume of Osun people in those places. You must think I am one distant enthusiast that obsesses about Osun of hate or envy.
Take lautech as example, money is root cause of the challenges it faced over the last 2 years. Recurrent expenditure is balanced with projects in all sane society and system.
Now that sparkling building are being commissioned right and left, don't you think it needs to run smoothly. The teachers will very likely forcefully extort the students when under paid. Where does that leave the huge infrastructure on ground?

mapet:
Bros,

When I articulate my points to "empty-heads" like @Desyner, I am fully aware that he cannot comprehend. The indirect intention is also to help the awareness of the generality of the forum. We should not leave NL to be pervaded by empty-heads and spread their emptiness to people willing to learn.

Regards

What useless point is your mediocrity clouded brain articulating? That infrastructure with no return any time soon and no gauranty to benefit the states directly is worth borrowing heavily for. The schools can't even run cos teacher can't be paid yet and you are already articulating your stupidíty into big grammar.

mapet:
1.I imagine I will still make coherent and more fact based analysis to this issue if I were intoxicated; rather the joke is on you that argue like a fool when you claim to be in your right senses. The problem with some of you is that your limited knowledge, you get arrogant with it, when found out you look all the more idi.otic.


2. Yes all what I wrote depends on the ability to meet up with recurrent expenses of running the school.....among other things. Some of these school have been built within the last 3yrs. Is there any information that you have that suggests that they do not meet the recurrent expenses of running those schools? Did you ask where is the IGR to do that? I can safely conclude that you do not even know the meaning of IGR, neither do you know how it is sourced and is operated. You are simply someone who rush to read up a concept and frivolously throw it on NL

Idîotic drúnkard, if the schools can run smoothly why aren't the teachers being paid alongside other civil servants ?
You are intellectually confused within yourself. You think colourful building will justify huge debt and hunger. Can the school building solve the hunger problem in the next 15 years ? The simple answer is NO. If so, why Ignore IGR that's suppose to keep the school running smooth. Are you saying there are no run down schools in Osun any longer ? Think.

mapet:
1. Simple data thrown at you, you cannot even read it correctly. Osun state generates 14% equivalent of its FA. The report rightly tells you that Osun is not one of the states categorised as in "danger of not surviving" nor "poor revenue earners". Osun is in the middle bracket. It has 15 states that perform better than it, and it performs better than a whooping 20 states.

2. Your contradiction in this argument is even ridiculous. You are addressing IGR, yet you are asking what if oil earnings dwindles. A simple answer is that it is in anticipation of a future where each state should not be dependent on oil earning that they are putting up the infrastructures that will stimulate their local economy. That is why we can safely argue that among other things Aregbe is investing in human capital by building these "world-class" schools.

3. I wish you did not put up what I saw in bold. Are you in secondary school or something? Not only are you unintelligent, you are immature and cannot subject yourself to diligent study, hence you make gaffes like this. How can you use "huge loan" to grow IGR? So they use "Huge loan" to grow IGR in your village? Pls avail your self with wikipedia or google and read about IGR.....that is if you can comprehend, else concentrating on passing your o'levels.

Stop being half smart kid. If Osun ranks 15th in IGR why isn't it ranking 15th or higher in payment of salary or indebtedness ? What is wrong with N8.8b IGR you bold ? I challenge you right here.

@mapet, you say education has a mid/long term effect on growth, fine. How is the growth going to be channelled into Osun in particular ?
You are supporting a fiscal rascal who thinks oil money is his birthright and want to impress people. I pity your empty skull. In Ogun state the govt focus on scholarship and sign a binding contract that guaranty they contribute back to the state.

@mapet, in that your stùpíd point 7, how will a govt that can't pay salaries sustain the spending that will stimulate the economy? Plus we already seeing the stupíd butterfly-cum-scorpion effects Aregbes policy is causing.
I can imagine your kidney inside your skull right now.

@mapet, what happens when the students Aregbe is subsidizing to high heaven go and grow Oyo or Abuja or Kano or Rivers when they are ripe for employement but there are no industries?
You must think you replying an Okada rider that reads news headline in the stands.

@mapet, So 10% of allocation is all that Aregbe can do? What happens then if oil earning dwindles further?
He takes huge loan and grows IGR to N8.8B/annum and people like you are shouting.

mapet:
@Desyner,

1. The person that told you "your brain is paining you" is on point. You think everything about IGR relates 100% to teachers' salary?
2. On IGR, You make such a weak, pedestrian point, you did not back such up with quantitative data.
3. Pray tell, what is the thrust of your lame IGR point? Is IGR static? Conventional wisdom should have told you that to be able to increase your performance on payments, the logical option is to grow IGR, especially when federal allocation is dwindling. I thought a quick "google search" would have put to rest the needless argument you keep making about IGR. How can anyone in his right senses rationalise investment in infrastructe, education and development as a second order priority.
4. As at 2016, Osun state was 16th on the IGR rating. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/05/state-viability-index-lagos-generates-igr-31-states-combined/. Osun is not among the 14 states that cannot generate up to 10% of their FAAC equivalent (a benchmark that depicted sustainability)
5. While it has been proven both in research and practice that investment in education has a mid-longterm impact on economic advancement, poverty reduction, sustainable growth etc. Your argument of teacher salary as a condition precedent is ill-concieved and not intelligent.
6. So let us talk about teachers salary issue in Osun state. So the picture is Aregbesola took a "gamble" in taking huge debt on infrastructure development.......economy went south........salaries were affected. How is this different from virtually all the state governors except Lagos and Ogun, who could not pay their civil servants and had to rely on bail out from FG? The big question is how have they been able to navigate the trouble waters? I am sure you are aware that Aregbe is about the most transparent with the Paris Club funds. He was about the only governor that published how it was utilised without being prompted to do so. He is one of the few governors that ICPC gave a clean bill of health on the use of the Paris Club funds. He has deployed the Paris Club funds solely to clear the back log in a creative way. He formed a joint committee of Labour Union/Civil Servants/Govt who oversaw how the funds was disbursed.
7. What is in it for Osun with these schools? few of the upsides;
a. First of is that students will have access to decent learning environments like their global counterparts. I am sure you cannot quantify the benefit of qualitative education of a citizen and how it solves his future problems in a long way
b. Secondly enrollment rate will not only increase, but these schools will adequately accommodate them. Each of the model schools can take up to 3000 students
c. With high enrollment, also comes an increase in government spending which will stimulate the economy. The school feeding program is connected to agri-business, the uniform is connected to textile industry, infrastructure to these school is also an empowerment medium
d. Have you imagined the "butterfly effect" of some of these projects? How it opens up new areas for value not only directly to the people impacted, but consequence impact on secondary and tertiary beneficiaries - Middle players in transport, logistics, waste collectors, software developers, skill acquisition outfits, farms and support services etc?


Finally, when you make assertions, pls back it up with facts. The Osun Sukuk bond will be paid in full by 2020, at which point all sets are fully owned by Osun. I wonder where you got your phantom 50years scaremongering nonsense from. Yes it is a difficult period, but Osun has prospect for prosperity as they have laid the foundation for it.

I Can imagine the thickness of the palmwine you took being thicker than pap.
All what you wrote depends on the ability to meet up with recurrent expenses of running the school. Where is the IGR to do just that? Straight answers please.
