This jamb was superb, the biometric OK, the hall conducive, cctv everywhere, rough sheet provided for calculations, attendance called, black and white or photocopy of our exam slip collected but u can submit coloured if you wish. we were delayed for almost 2hrs because of some system component malfunctioning so they replaced them and make sure we all start the same time, the questions cheap but little bit technical, past question reflected well in all my subject combination, maths physics chemistry all contain simple calculations, the key system is the best experience ever so fast! the software designed for the question also made it easy for u to recognize the questions not answered and also made it easy to move about any subject you wish to answer. So therefore the time is well enough, maths will only take u 40min English 30min physics chemistry 20min or less in total 110 to 115 minutes required to complete your questions u can use the remaining 5minutes for cross checking but the cbt calculator is very frustrating it can waste your time no wonder the calculations were not made too strenuous so u can




avoid using calculator in most cases but it's sure you will need it at some point. I hope they introduce key system in operating the calculator. Some candidate in my center experience difficulties such as registration number not scheduled, at some point network error that were later rectified . In total it was a wonderful experience i hope jamb keep this up and made Necessary adjustment. REPORTING FROM MAGBON CENTRE AT THE CERTIFIED SHIPPING INSTITUTE, MAGBON, BADAGRY, LAGOS state.

BREAKING NEWS....WORLD EXCLUSIVE
FULL TEXT OF DAME PATIENCE JONATHAN WORLD
PRESS CONFERENCE HELD AT NICON NOGA-
HILTON HOTEL ABUJA. DATE 8/2/16.
Welcome ladies and gentlemen. I know many of
you will say I have come again. Yes they will say
DAME is back. Why is Mama Peace not in Otuoke
managing her ultra modern beauty salon. I have
decided to call this press conference for the sake
of my husband. Nigeria, I want you to please in
the name of God, leave my husband alone. I want
you to give him a moment of silence. As he is
laying in state in Otuoke. Please let Goodluck
Ebele Jonathan rest in peace. Nigeria, you have
put your hand into my mouth and I have to come
out and stand on my husband. He is no longer
your President. Leave him alone. Stop calling him
names. Stop insulting him. Let my husband sleep.
And when he sleep , let him rest in peace. GEJ this.
GEJ that. I am tired and that is why I have called
this world press conference. Nigeria leave us
alone. You call my husband a thief. What did he
steal in your house? Answer me Nigeria. What did
my gentle husband steal from your house. God
fear my husband. He is a God-fearing men of
Jehovah. He is a children of God. He can speak in
tongue. Ask Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor. Ask Pastor E.A.
Adeboye and Bishop David Oyedepo. These men
of God are my husband's friends. If you call my
husband a thief, are you calling these men of God
thieves too? Show me your friend and I will tell
you who you are. Because of these men my
husband is a good children of God. Leave my
husband alone. He did not come to your house to
take your car. He is not a thief.
$ 2.1 billion is missing. And so? What has that got
to do with my husband? Is he the Central Bank of
Nigeria? He was President not money manager.
Nigeria, you are looking for proper wahala. I am
mama peace but you people are looking for my
trouble. Who say my husband stole the money?
Who? Who? CHAI!!!! DARIS GOD OOOO!!!! Nigeria,
daris God! When the girls were missing, you say it
was my husband that stole them.Haba!! Now
money is missing. it is my husband again. Nigeria!
Nigeria! Nigeria! How many times did I call you?
You are looking for the redness of my eyes. As
DAME I am ready to take off my clothes and fight
for my husband. Was it not inside Sambo Dasuki's
pocket that they found the $2.1 billion? Was it my
husband that put it there? Answer me Nigeria. I
am here at this Press conference to question all
your answers. You have caught Dasuki, why not
leave my husband alone. How can two people
steal one money? Is that possible? Oyinbo man,
are you from CNN? Na only you waka come? Tell
the world how Nigeria will not let my husband
rest in peace. Give my husband a moment of
silence. Let him rest in peace. President
Muhammadu Buhari, my husband is your pickin.
Leave him alone. EFCC catch GEJ. EFCC put GEJ in
jail. Haba!! Na your mama EFCC go catch. Na your
mama EFCC go put in jail. Not my husband.
As first lady I was your mother. I was DAME. I am
no longer first lady. You have lost your mother.
Look at the present first lady, what has she done
for you? Nothing. She is beautiful. Is it beauty we
go chop. DAME no understand English. No be the
same grammar I am speaking at this press
conference? DAME no fine. Your mother that is
fine, was she first lady? I no want to vex. But
Nigeria, you have made me vex really proper. I
am not going to insult anybody. DAME is a born
again Christian now. But all of those people that
will not let my husband mm rest. All those people
calling GEJ a thief. All those praying for EFCC to
come to Otuoke and put my husband in jail. God
will punish all of you. I will not say more than
that. Now we can take questions.

NASIR EL-RUFAI RECORD AS GOVERNOR OF KADUNA
IN ONE MONTH
I welcome you all with
humility and gratitude
to the very first Town
Hall meeting we are
hosting as a
government. It is not yet
one month since we
were sworn-in, but to
the extent that it has
pleased Allah to bestow
His grace upon us, we
have set about doing the
work of change that you
mandated us to do.
During the campaign, we promised that we shall be engaging
and interacting with the public regularly. We pledged that we
will provide you regular updates and listen to your feedback,
including criticisms and suggestions. Here, we are before you
today to do as we pledged. As we have started, so we intend
to continue, always striving to get better at achieving results.
Immediately after we were sworn-in on 29 May 2015, we
reported for duty with the sense of urgency that you
demanded. As we expected, we met a state that is broke, and
whose schools, hospitals and roads are in poor shape. We
knew that a lot of sacrifice will be required to restore the state
to good health. This government’s priority is actually growth
and development in a safe and secure environment; because
we understand that the things that matter are the public goods
of quality schools, decent hospitals and good roads; we know
that leaders must pursue the creation of a climate that
promotes security, social harmony and is therefore conducive
to bringing jobs and economic opportunity. Thus our first
step was to announce that the deputy-governor and I will be
taking a 50% pay cut.
As we took briefings from the ministries, departments and
agencies in our very first week, the depth of the financial
problem became clearer to us as well as the impact the
decades of impunity have had on the mental attitudes of the
institutions that constitute the public service. As one astute
observer of the situation commented recently, the public
service does not serve the public; rather it considers itself as
the public and thus serves only itself.
We emphatically reject this mentality. The new government
of Kaduna State has therefore declared that the resources of
the state will be devoted to serving the public, with schools,
hospitals and roads; aiding our farmers and doing our utmost
to create jobs. To do that, we must cut the cost of running
government. Ours will no longer be the state that has too little
left for the needs of the majority of the people.
That is our guiding principle as we reduce costs. And we
have taken concrete action in this regard. We have
restructured our ministries from 19 to 13. We have also
decided that we will have only 13 commissioners, ten special
advisers and 12 special assistants. You all remember that the
previous government had 24 commissioners, 41 special
advisers and about 400 special assistants. But good
governance is not about recruiting vast numbers of political
appointees. It is about the smallest number that can provide
the quality of service that is required.
We are saddened by the condition in which we found the
state. But we shall never use that as an excuse for non-
performance. It is our duty to do our best always. That is why
we are finding creative even if difficult ways to deliver on our
promises.
What we have done
In our first month, we have done the following things:
Governance Reforms
Prioritising the People: We have made clear our intention to
devote a larger chunk of the state’s resources to providing
public services. We have signalled that a government elected
by majority vote should serve the majority.
Pay cut: the governor and the deputy governor have taken a
voluntary pay cut of 50%, and we have urged other political
official holders, elected or appointed, to follow this example.
Cost-cutting: ministries have been reduced from 19 to 13;
while your government has committed to appointing only 13
commissioners and the handful of needed special advisers and
special assistants. The selection of the Commissioners,
Advisers and Assistants will be based on merit, capacity and
experience because what is priority to us is getting the
necessary skill sets that will facilitate moving the State
forward.
Biometric verification: Our government is already
conducting biometric verification of its employees in order to
update the payroll and provide reliable data as to the precise
number of personnel in the public service. Two of Nigeria’s
leading banks, UBA and Zenith, are working with us on this
project.
Tax Reform Committee: We have set up a committee
chaired by Ifueko Omogui, former chairman of the Federal
Inland Revenue Service, to review our internal revenue
generation structures, systems and laws. The committee will
recommend ways by which we can improve our internally
generated revenue. This will reduce our dependency on the
federal government. We will be masters of our own fate.
Transparency: We have signed up to Open Budget, a tool
that enables you to track what we are doing with your money.
Health
Your government has already convened a summit of Kaduna
State Healthcare partners to set out the state’s priorities in the
Health Sector, and to also ensure that all funds in the health
sector are streamlined to ensure an effective coordinated
service delivery. The donor community and multilateral
agencies attended, along with businesses that are active in the
state’s health sector.
Kaduna State has signed an Memorandum of Understanding
with General Electric Healthcare to modernise our primary
health centers and public hospitals. Both parties have
committed to identifying the specific needs of the centers and
hospitals, so that modern equipment can be installed to
improve the diagnosis and management of patients.
We have signed the 2015 Kaduna State-UNICEF 2015
workplan. The state government is ready with its counterpart
funding for the agreed initiatives in healthcare, nutrition,
HIV/AIDS, water, sanitation and child protection.
Installation of two dialysis machines and the repair of three
dialysis equipment at Barau Dikko Hospital. Arrangements
are being made to purchase consumables for the next 12
months so that dialysis will be affordable to Kaduna citizens.
Security
Peace Committee: A committee, chaired by the respected
General Martin Agwai, is working to identify the causes of
conflict and insecurity in Southern Kaduna and thereafter
recommend ways of tackling the problem.
Interstate cooperation: Kaduna State is working with
Zamfara, Katsina, Kebbi and Niger States to design a
collective approach to common security challenges in the
forest ranges that strides our respective States. A meeting is
being held today with the respective State Governors and
Security Agencies to advance the implementation of this
initiative.
Presidential support: Kaduna State has briefed and updated
the president on the security challenges, and the president has
pledged FG support for the comprehensive security plan.
Relief: We have conducted multiple aerial surveys of the
Birnin-Gwari area and have visited affected communities
there and in Southern Kaduna, offering medical assistance
and condolences.
Prisons: we have visited prisons in Kaduna and Zaria,
pursuing rehabilitation of facilities and decongestion. As a
result of these efforts, 98 persons awaiting trial for minor
offenses were released by the Chief Judge of Kaduna State.
Infrastructure
Zaria Water Project: We have ordered accelerated work to
complete this project as a priority item for our government.
We have visited the site of the project and reviewed it with
the contractors. A firm decision has been taken to commit
funds monthly so that the project can be completed by early
2018.
The African Development Bank and Islamic Development
Bank, the major funders of the project, have been consulted
and they share our desire to speed-up completion. In addition,
we are working on a project to upgrade the capacity to supply
water to Kaduna residents through a new Kaduna Water
Project.
Job creation
Kaduna Cabs: We have initiated a scheme to revive taxi
services in our major urban centres. The aim is to create jobs
for owner-drivers who will help improve the commuting
experience with their comfortable cars and excellent customer
service. The scheme is starting with 200 vehicles in Kaduna,
and is being implemented in collaboration with Peugeot. We
have already placed adverts to invite participation in the
scheme.
Indorama: Our drive to attract new investors to the state has
attracted positive response from Indorama, a leading player in
petrochemicals. They have selected Kaduna as their regional
distribution centre. They will be building warehouses,
fertilizer blending plant and a training centre in Kaduna.
Shopping Mall: Our main urban centres, including the state
capital Kaduna, are lacking modern shopping malls. We have
indicated our readiness to partner with capable investors in
this sector.
Agriculture
Fertilizer: One of our first actions in office was to stop the
unfair practice of allocating subsidized fertilizer to prominent
persons to the detriment of ordinary farmers. We launched
the 2015 fertilizer sales season in Kachia with a clear structure
that sells fertilizers to interested persons from designated sales
point. We shall be reviewing and improving the process of
procuring and distributing fertilizer to make access easier for
the farmers.
A New Agricultural Policy is being prepared with the aim of
enhancing the capacity of the sector to create viable jobs;
improve farm productivity and raise the involvement of
Kaduna citizens in the value chain.
Sanitation
Clean city agenda: We have met the sanitation contractors
and have expressed to them our dissatisfaction at the squalid
state of our urban areas. We want our towns and cities to be
clean, and we shall do it.
Sports
Kaduna has, for the first time in a long while, hosted an
international football match when the Super Eagles played a
friendly match with Chad at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium. Our
people turned out to see the game, showing that Kaduna is a
sports city. That impressive turnout has now placed us on the
radar to host many competitive matches because the football
authorities now know that our great people will actually come
to the stadium, fill it up and cheer the players.
What we intend to do
In the following months, we shall be focused on the
following issues:
Education: we shall begin implementing our comprehensive
agenda to improve education. School repairs, and the
provision of facilities like furniture, water and toilets will
begin as we fulfill our responsibility to provide a better
learning environment. Alongside this, we shall begin to
enhance the capacity and quality of the teachers generally,
and we shall pay extra attention to getting more and better
teachers in English, Maths and Science.
Health: hospital upgrades, in terms of facilities and
equipment, will be accelerated as our MoU with GE
Healthcare is steadily implemented. We have a commitment to
properly equipping our hospitals so that most of our people’s
healthcare needs can be met by our own public hospitals.
Township Roads: neighbourhood and township roads in our
major urban centres will be upgraded to the extent we can
within this rainy season.
Transport: our multilayer transport architecture will be
executed. That includes preparations, studies and projects to
put in place:
- the new cab scheme and expanding to Zaria and
Kafanchan,
- a BRT system for mass transit starting with Kaduna,
- a major project to establish Kaduna-Zaria light rail
system between Shika and through the Kaduna Metropolis
and up to the Refinery,
- new bus and truck terminals in Kaduna, Tafa, Mararaban
Jos and Zaria
Security
- Comprehensive security plan for Southern Kaduna and
the Birnin-Gwari/Giwa axi
- Forensic laboratory under the control of our State
Internal Security outfit – Operation Yaki – to enhance the
investigative capacity of law-enforcement agencies
Clean Cities: We would not allow our urban centres to
continue to be defaced by waste. We shall be improving
waste collection, then we would introduce sanitary inspectors
and engage the public in a voluntary commitment to make our
cities clean.
Rural and community development: Under the leadership
of our Deputy Governor, we shall be mainstreaming the
Millennium Village Pampaida. programme as a viable model
across our rural communities. It will have components to
I mprove education, healthcare, rural roads and the farming
activities that engage most of our rural residents.
Job Creation: your government will undertake direct
recruitment of qualified doctors, nurses and teachers to
urgently raise the quality of service in our hospitals and
schools. We shall also employ at least 50 youths per ward
over the next four years, in our initial efforts for traffic
control and environmental enforcement. But try as it might,
government can only employ a minority of youths who need
jobs. Thus we remain focused on creating a favourable
climate for the private sector to create jobs.
Textile Revival: We have the support of Mr. President to
work on policies and schemes that will revive this sector as
viable and sustainable employer of labour. We are
cooperating with current and potential textile investors on a
package that stimulates the value-chain from cotton farming
to garmenting.
There is so much to do, with fewer resources. But we have no
option than to deliver quality performance for the people who
have invested so much hope in us. We need your
understanding and support for the difficult decisions that we
must take if we are to serve you to the best of our ability. We
will need committed people in and out of government to
contribute to achieving the goals we have set out.
We are not shrinking government for its own sake. We are
making government leaner so that it can work better for you.
Let us all make sacrifices for change.

Ogaaa ooooo! Well Hope is back alive for Nigeria and Nigerians. May his soul rest in peace
Politics / Full Text Of Inaugural Address Of ‘president' MKO Abiola On June11,1994 by dleksy(m): 11:46am On Jun 12, 2015
Full text of the Epetedo, Lagos
proclamation delivered by the late M.K.O.
Abiola on Saturday, June 11, 1994.
People of Nigeria, exactly one year ago,
you turned out in your millions to vote for
me, Chief M.K.O. Abiola, as the President of
the Federal Republic of Nigeria. But
politicians in uniform, who call themselves
soldiers but are more devious than any
civilian would want to be, deprived you of
your God-given right to be ruled by the
President you had yourselves elected.
These soldier-politicians introduced into
our body politic, a concept hitherto
unknown to our political lexicography,
something strangely called the
“annulment” of an election perceived by all
to have been the fairest, cleanest and most
peaceful ever held in our nation.
Since that abominable act of naked political
armed robbery occurred, I have been
constantly urged by people of goodwill,
both in Nigeria and abroad, to put the
matter back into the people’s hands and
get them to actualise the mandate they
gave me at the polls. But mindful of the
need to ensure that peace continues to
reign in our fragile federation, I have so far
tried to pursue sweet reason and
negotiation.
My hope has always been to arouse
whatever remnants of patriotism are left in
the hearts of these thieves of your
mandate, and to persuade them that they
should not allow their personal desire to
rule to usher our beloved country into an
era of political instability and economic
ruin.
All I have sought to do, in seeking dialogue
with them, has been to try and get them to
realise that only real democracy can move
our nation forward towards progress, and
earn her the respect she deserves from the
international community.
However, although this peaceful approach
has exposed me to severe censure by
some who have mistaken it for weakness
on my part, those with whom I have sought
to dialogue have remained like stones,
neither stirred to show loyalty to the
collective decision of the people of their
own country, nor to observe Allah’s
injunction that they should exhibit justice
and fair-play in all their dealings with their
fellowmen.
Appeals to their honour as officers and
gentlemen of the gallant Nigerian Armed
Forces, have fallen on deaf ears. Instead,
they have resorted to the tactics of divide
and rule, bribery and political perfidy,
misinformation and (vile) propaganda.
They arrest everyone who disagrees with
them. Even the 71-year old hero of our
nation, Chief Anthony Enahoro, was not
spared. How much longer can we tolerate
all this? People of Nigeria, you are all
witnesses that I have tried to climb the
highest mountain, cross the deepest river
and walk the longest mile, in order to get
these men to obey the will of our people.
There is no humiliation I have not endured,
no snare that has not been put in my path,
no “setup” that has not been designed for
me in my endeavour to use the path of
peace to enforce the mandate that you
bestowed on me one year ago. It has been
a long night. But the dawn is here.
Today, people of Nigeria, I join you all in
saying, “Enough is Enough!” We have
endured 24 years of military rule in our 34
years of independence.
Military rule has led to our nation fighting a
civil war with itself. Military rule has
destabilised our nation today as not before
in its history. Military rule has
impoverished our people and introduced a
dreadful trade in drugs which has made
our country’s name an anathema in many
parts of the world. Even soccer fans going
to watch the Green Eagles display in
America are being made to suffer there
needlessly because Nigeria’s name is linked
with credit card and fraud and “419.”
Politically, military rule has torn to shreds
the prestige due to our country because of
its size and population.
The permanent seat at the United Nations
Security Council that should be rightfully
ours, is all but lost. For who will vote for
Nigeria to get the seat if Nigerian military
rulers do not respect the votes of their own
people?
Enough of military rule. We are sickened to
see people who have shown little or no
personal achievement, either in building up
private businesses, or making success of
any tangible thing, being placed in charge
of the management of our nation’s
economy, by rulers who are not
accountable to anyone.
Enough of square pegs in round holes. We
are tired of then military repetitive
tendency to experiment with our economy:
Today, they say “no controls.” Tomorrow;
they say “Full controls”. The day after, they
say “Fine tuning”.
The next day, they say “Devaluation.” A few
days later, they say “Revalue the same
naira upwards again Abi?” All we can see
are the consequences of this permanent
game of military “about turns;” high
inflation, a huge budget deficit and an
enormous foreign debt repayment burden,
dying industries, high unemployment and a
demoralised populace.
Our youths, in particular, can see no hope
on the horizon, and many can only dream
of escaping from our shores to join the
brain drain. Is this the Nigeria we want? We
are plagued also by periodic balance of
payments crises, which have led to a
perennial shortage of essential drugs, that
has turned our hospitals and clinics into
mortuaries.
A scarcity of books and equipment has
rendered our schools into desolate deserts
of ignorance. Our factories are crying for
machinery, spare parts and raw materials.
But each day that passes, instead of these
economic diseases being cured, they are
rather strengthened as an irrational
allocation of foreign exchange based on
favouritism and corruption becomes the
order of the day.
Enough is enough of economic
mismanagement! People of Nigeria, during
the election campaign last year, I
presented you with a programme entitled
“HOPE ’93. This programme was aimed
precisely at solving these economic
(problems) that have demoralised us all. I
toured every part of Nigeria to present this
programme to you the electorate. I was
questioned on it at public rallies and press
conferences and I had the privilege of
incorporating into it much of the feedback
that I obtained from the people.
Because you knew I would not only listen
to you but deliver superb results from the
programme, you voted for me in your
millions and gave me an overwhelming
majority over my opponent. To be precise,
you gave me 58.4 per cent of the popular
vote and a majority in 20 out of 30 states
plus the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
Not only that, you also enabled me to fulfil
the constitutional requirement that the
winner should obtain one-third of the votes
in two-thirds of the states.
I am sure that when you cast an eye on the
moribund state of Nigeria today, you ask
yourselves: “What have we done to deserve
this, when we have a president- elect who
can lead a government that can change
things for the better? Our patience has
come to an end.
As of now, from this moment, a new
Government of National Unity is in power
throughout the length and breadth of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria, led by me,
Bashorun M.K.O. Abiola, as President and
Commander-in-Chief. The National
Assembly is hereby reconvened. All
dismissed governors are reinstated.
The State Assemblies are reconstituted, as
are all local government councils. I urge
them to adopt a bi-partisan approach to all
the issues that come before them. At the
national level, a bi-partisan approach will
be our guiding principle. I call upon the
usurper, General Sani Abacha, to announce
his resignation forthwith, together with the
rest of his illegal ruling council. We are
prepared to enter into negotiations with
them to work out the mechanics for a
smooth transfer of power.
I pledge that if they hand over quietly, they
will be retired with all their entitlements,
and their positions will be accorded all the
respect due to them. For our objective is
neither recrimination nor witch-hunting,
but an enforcement of the will of the
Nigerian people, as expressed in free
elections conducted by the duly constituted
authority of the time.
I hereby invoke the mandate bestowed
upon me by my victory in the said election,
to call on all members of the Armed Forces
and the Police, the Civil and Public Services
throughout the Federal Republic of Nigeria,
to obey only the Government of National
Unity that is headed by me, your only
elected President.
My Government of National Unity is the
only legitimate, constituted authority in the
Federal Republic of Nigeria, as of now.
People of Nigeria, these are challenging
times in the history of our continent, Africa,
and we in Nigeria must not allow ourselves
to be left behind. Our struggle is the same
as that waged by the people of South
Africa, which has been successfully
concluded, with the inauguration of Mr.
Nelson Mandela as the first African
President of that country.
Nelson Mandela fought to replace
MINORITY rule with MAJORITY rule. We in
Nigeria are also fighting to replace
MINORITY rule, for we are ruled by only a
tiny section of our armed forces. Like the
South Africans, we want MAJORITY rule
today, that is rule only by those chosen by
all the people of Nigeria as a whole in free
and fair elections.
The only difference between South Africa
and Nigeria is that those who imposed
minority rule on the majority rule whether
it is by black or white, remains minority
rule, and must be booted out. I call on you,
heroic people of Nigeria, to emulate the
actions of your brothers and sisters in
South Africa and stand up as one person to
throw away the yoke of minority rule for
ever.
The
antics of every minority that oppresses the
majority are always the same. They will try
to intimidate you with threats of police
action. But do not let us fear arrest. In
South Africa, so many people were
arrested, during the campaign against the
Pass Laws, for instance, that the jails could
not hold all of them. Today, apartheid is
gone forever.
So, let it be with Nigeria. Let us say
goodbye forever to minority rule by the
military. They talk of treason. But haven’t
they heard of the Rivonia treason trial in
South Africa? Did those treason trials halt
the march of history? People of Nigeria,
our time is now. You are the repository of
power in the land.
No one can give you power. It is yours.
Take it! From this day, show to the world
that anyone who takes the people of
Nigeria for fools is deceiving himself and
will have the people to answer to. God
bless you all. Long live the Federal Republic
of Nigeria. Long live the Government of
National Unity.

Politics / Re: Of All Institutions In Nigeria Police Has Least Corrupt Officers – IGP by dleksy(m): 10:06am On Jun 08, 2015
Hmmmm......oga IGP u make mistake ooo, how we go take define corruption without the phrase ' Nigeria police'
Politics / Of All Institutions In Nigeria Police Has Least Corrupt Officers – IGP by dleksy(m): 9:42am On Jun 08, 2015
ABUJA—The Inspector General of Police,
IGP Solomon Arase has declared that the
Nigerian Police, has the least corrupt
officers of all the institutions in the country,
even as the Police is determined to follow
up any corrupt cases before it in
accordance with constitutional provisions.
Speaking at the annual symposium during
a Feast of Barracuda organised by the
National Association of Seadogs, the
Inspector General of Police, Mr. Solomon
Arase noted that the Police had made
frantic efforts in tackling corruption even
among the officers and had set in motion
machinery to fish out corrupt officers in
the force.
The
IGP,
who
was
represented by the Commissioner of
Police, Federal Capital Territory, Mr. Wilson
Inalegwu said that the practical step to deal
with corruption was to dismantle road
blocks by Police and the establishment of
Monitoring Teams to ensure compliance
across the country.
He said: “The IG said he is allergic to
corruption and since then he has taken
practical steps to deal with the issue of
corruption, both the history of corruption
and perception of corruption of the Nigeria
Police Force.
“One of the first things he did was to set up
the IGP’s Monitoring Teams. First of all the
decision by the Police Management Team
was to take out roadblocks across all our
highways. It was not just to dismantle it, he
set up the IGP Monitoring Team to ensure
that these directives are enforced.”
“If you go across most of our highways now
roadblocks have been reduced to the
barest minimum, and anybody mounting
roadblocks, does that at his risk.
“Presentations are also made where
Commissioners of Police are invited to look
at the situations across the country right
from the condition of suspects in Police
cells and they have a technical platform
that enable them to monitor the behaviour
and conduct of police officers on the road
as they handle suspects.
On the issue of welfare of police and
accommodation the IG met with the OC
Works across the country and they
concluded to have 6,000 affordable houses
for officers across the country.
“The IG said bail is free! Help lines have
been provided where you can supply
information. You can call to inform that
you went to this station and paid this
amount and I can assure you, action will be
taken. Bail is free, the monitoring teams
are going round to practically deal with
those avenues that can lead to corruption.
“The Nigeria Police has the capacity to
investigate any corrupt case under the
laws, either the Crminal Code law or the
Penal Code law. The Police has the
competence and the capacity to investigate
corrupt cases.
“The Police management under Solomon
Arase is doing everything possible to
eliminate corruption and has taken
practical steps leading to that.
“Once corruption cases are given to the
police, the cases must be investigated. The
Police is the least corrupt officers in every
organisation because it has an in house
way of dealing with the issue of
organisation, trying officers, arresting
officers who engage in corrupt practices.
“I think you can hardly find institutions that
is like Police taking practical steps to deal
with corruption, all I want to say by way of
challenge is have confidence in the Police.”
In his own address, a Senior Advocate of
Nigeria, SAN, Mr. Paul Erokoro said that the
fight against corruption in the country will
not produce any good results with corrupt
leaders on the saddle.
Erokoro declared that it should be made
compulsory for every public officer in the
country to declare his or her assets publicly
as a way tackle corruption
Delivering a paper on ‘ A New Dawn in
Nigeria: Practical steps to eliminate
corruption’, Mr. Erokoro noted that
everybody in the country had been part of
of the corruption problem in the past and
had remained part of the problem at the
present time, stressing that hardly any
public officer live with his salary.
He said that corruption in the country is
pervasive and that a practical step to show
that the country is serious to fight
corruption is by the President to declare
his assets publicly, then ensures that his
Ministers follow suite as well as all public
officers.
“We should lead by example and it involves
people insisting that the President should
declare his assets in public
He said that all high level officials ranging
from, President, Ministers, Legislators, CBN
Governors, Police and Customs Officers,
Military Officers should declare their assets
publicly and should also sign a statement
granting permission to banks,moth local
and foreign, real estate and investment
houses to disclose any personal assets they
hold.
He further suggested that there should be
scrutiny of people’s income and
withholding of aid by international donors
if the country really is interested in fighting
corruption.
He said that many attempts made to
eliminate corruption in the country had
been symbolic and half hazard as those in
charge of waging corruption war were not
committed.
He maintained that if the head of any
organisation is clean, it will be difficult for
those under him to be dirty and that the
President should insist that every minister
declares his assets publicly as well as
outlaw opening of foreign accounts.
