Politics › Kaduna Airport, Disaster Waiting To Happen, Say Reps by engineerboat(op): 8:19am On Mar 24, 2017

Members of the House of Representatives on Thursday condemned aviation operations at the Kaduna International Airport, thereby making a dramatic U-turn from their earlier position.

They said the airport fell short of the safety standards for both domestic and international flight operations.

The Kaduna airport is serving as a temporary alternative to the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, whose runway is undergoing reconstruction.

The closure of the Abuja airport is into its third week and the repairs will last for another three weeks, according to the original work plan of the Federal Government.

The PUNCH recalls that four weeks ago, the same lawmakers had passed a resolution supporting the closure of the airport and giving the nod to the Kaduna airport to serve as an alternative.

But, on Thursday, after flying into Kaduna, the lawmakers changed their stance and began condemning the airport.

“God forbid that an aircraft should drop from the skies due to our own errors. This is what we should not pray to happen. As we speak, we have aircraft flying in the air. It can happen to anybody. Safety standards are not being adhered to at the airport,” the Chairman, House Committee on Loans, Aids and Debt Management, Mr. Adeyinka Ajayi, told his colleagues.

Ajayi had moved a motion on the need for the aviation authorities to review and ensure that the Kaduna International Airport complied with operational and safety requirements as promised prior to the closure of the Abuja airport.

He cited a personal experience of witnessing aviation fuel being discharged from haulage trucks into aircraft at the airport without purifying the fuel.

Ajayi also said ramp marking rules were abused at the airport as they were “violated by unauthorised users, who go right through the ramp marks.”

He added, “Aircraft manoeuvring and parking space is inadequate to accommodate the high number of aircraft now operating in and out of the airport.

“Further disturbed that some aviation fuel marketers have been allegedly transferring Jet A-1 from bulk road tankers directly into bowers right on the tarmac and discharging same into aircraft; this poses a lot of danger to passengers and aircraft safety.”

The Chairman, House Committee on Foreign Relations, Ms. Nnenna Ukeje, stated that the lives of passengers and aircraft were exposed to danger at the Kaduna airport.

She noted that the space provided for passengers and parking for aircraft was inadequate and could easily lead to accidents.

Ukeje recalled how she spent close to two hours after landing at the airport, struggling to get her luggage and exit the environment.

“The Kaduna airport experiment has obviously failed,” she stated.

Another member, Mr. Hassan Saleh, told the House that he had been to the airport and that all he could see was total disappointment.

Saleh noted, “It is a disaster waiting to happen. Security measures at that airport have collapsed. You could see that the security personnel are overwhelmed by the crowd.

“They no longer conduct full security checks because of the huge crowd.”

Both the Majority Leader of the House, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila; and the Minority Leader, Mr. Leo Ogor, stated that the state of affairs at the airport might have vindicated the decision of most foreign airlines not to use the Kaduna airport.

They argued that considering the fact that Nigerian routes were among the most lucrative in the world, it was instructive that the airlines would opt to lose money rather than fly into Kaduna.

Gbajabiamila said, “If all the foreign airlines but one said they would not use Kaduna, was there something they knew that we did not know?

“If the airlines have chosen to lose money than fly into Kaduna, then there is a problem that we should be concerned about.”

On his part, Ogor urged the House to intervene urgently by calling on the aviation authorities to adhere to international best practices in the industry.

He stated, “When I flew into Kaduna, what I saw there for me is a construction site. It is very dangerous for our safety. Why did we rush to go to Kaduna?

“Nigerian routes are the most lucrative. For the foreign airlines to reject Kaduna means that we should do something.”

However, some lawmakers, mainly from Kaduna State, opposed the motion on the ground that it was still part of the sentiments held against the airport.

A former House Deputy Whip, Mr. Mohammed Garba-Dhatti, claimed that operations at the airport had been smooth in the last three weeks.

“There have been sentiments expressed against this airport right from the beginning. That is what is still happening. Which of the airlines has made complaints that it has any problems at the airport?” Garba-Dhatti asked.

Another member from Kaduna, Mr. Simon Arabo, supported the position of Garba-Dhatti.

“There has been no report of any accident in Kaduna. It is also very unfair for anyone to come here and describe the airport as a construction site,” he said.

Senate President Bukola Saraki QUOTE OF THE HOUR:

“We are performing our constitutional mandate, and if anybody is going to court to stop us, then what it means is that we should all go to court and stop the entire government from working.

“That is exactly what we are saying; that if this (refusal to honour Legislative summons) continues to happen, then goodbye to democracy. It means I can even go to court to stop you from doing your work.

“We will see how that will continue to play out, and I think this is the end of democracy in Nigeria, if that continues to play out.” -

Politics › Senate Raises Alarm Over Great Threat To Nigeria's Democracy by engineerboat(op): 9:19pm On Mar 23, 2017

The Nigerian Senate has expressed grave concern over an imminent threat to Nigeria’s democracy following the refusal of the executive arm of government to answer to legislative summons.

Senate raises alarm over great threat to Nigeria's democracy
The Senate is concerned that Buhari's presidency is refusing to submit itself to legislative scrutiny
The Punch reports that chairman of Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs Senator Sabi Abdullahi made this worrying observation on Wednesday, March 22 just after another appointee of President Muhammadu Buhari said he would not answer the summon to appear before the upper house of legislature

Although Abdullahi said he was unaware of the letter written to Senate by secretary to the Government of the federation David Babachir Lawal at the time of the chat, he however noted that the trend of public officials refusing to answer legislative summons was becoming a threat to Nigeria’s democracy.

Abdullahi said:“I am not aware of that. But we are waiting to see what happens. That is exactly what we are saying; that if this continues to happen, then, bye bye to democracy. It means I can even go to court to stop you (our correspondent) from doing your work.

“We will see how that will continue to play out and I think this is the end of democracy in Nigeria if that continues to play out. We are performing our constitutional mandate and if anybody is going to court to stop us, then, what it means is that we should all go to court and stop the entire government from working.”

recalls that the Senate on Wednesday, March 22, declared Nigeria Customs Service boss Col. Hameed Ali (rtd.) unfit to hold a public office and ultimately demanded his resignation as Customs boss.

The senate resolved that Ali should resign his post after he again failed to appear before the lawmakers as directed by the upper house of legislature on Thursday, March 16.

Senators argued on Wednesday that Ali's refusal to show up because of the letter the clerk of the Senate received from the office of the attorney-general of federation Abubakar Malami directing the lawmakers to leave him alone because the matter was in court amounted to interference in its duties.

Politics › Grass-cutting Scandal: Why SGF Lawal, Rholavision Boss Won’t Appear Before Senat by engineerboat(op): 6:44am On Mar 23, 2017

The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal, has told the Senate that he would not appear before its ad-hoc committee on ‘mounting crisis in the North East’ on Thursday, saying the subject of his invitation was already a matter in court.
The News Agency of Nigeria, Wednesday evening, reported Mr. Lawal’s decision to shun the hearing slated for Thursday.

However, the chairman of the committee, Shehu Sani, and its clerk, told PREMIUM TIMES they were yet to receive any such notice from Mr. Lawal.

In the interim report of the committee presented to the Senate last December, Mr. Lawal was accused of corruption and of breaching the country’s law in the handling of a “grass-cutting” contract and other ones awarded by the Presidential Initiative for the North East (PINE), an agency under his supervision.

Following the indictment, the Senate then asked President Muhammadu Buhari to sack and prosecute Mr. Lawal, who, in a reaction, said the lawmakers were talking “balderdash.”
In his response to the lawmakers, Mr. Buhari, in a letter to the Senate, defended Mr. Lawal saying he was not given fair hearing, thus necessitating the new summons.

However, Mr. Lawal went to court, challenging his summon, and indicated he would not appear on Thursday.

Similarly, Mr. Sani told PREMIUM TIMES the committee received a letter from Rholavision Ltd., that its “Managing Director” would not be available for Thursday’s hearing because he/she could not be reached.

Rholavision was incorporated as an IT firm by Mr. Lawal in 1990, he confirmed. But it was found by the Senate to have handled a N233 million bush-clearing contract in the north-east in 2016.

The Senate alleged that as at the time the contract was awarded in March 2016, Mr. Lawal was still a director in the company and that he only resigned in September of that year.

Even so, as at the time of presenting the interim report, the Senate said Mr. Lawal “is the signatory to the company’s account.”

Mr. Lawal’s directorship of Rholavision while being a public official contravened Nigeria’s code of conduct for public officials as enshrined in the 1999 Constitution, the Senate said.

In the Rholavision letter seen by PREMIUM TIMES, a manager at its Abuja office wrote, “As of the time we received your letter, our managing director (MD), who lives at our head office in Kaduna, had travelled to his village for a burial of a relation and could not be reached up till today, Tuesday, 21 March, 2017.

“In view of the above, kindly avail the company another suitable date for the committee to enable our MD to appear.”
Mr. Lawal insisted he resigned from Rholavision after he was appointed SGF in 2015, before the company got involved in the controversial north-east contract.

Politics › Nnamani must quit as Electoral Reform Committee Chairman – Fayose by engineerboat(op): 4:53am On Mar 23, 2017*

Ekiti State Governor and Chairman, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
Governors’ Forum, Mr Ayodele Fayose has called for the immediate
resignation of former Senate President, Ken Nnamani as chairman of the
Electoral Reform Committee and allow a non-partisan person to take
over, saying “if the federal government is serious about electoral
reform, Senator Nnamani, a card carrying member of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) won’t head the Electoral Reform
Committee.”

The governor, who also said there was nothing wrong with the country’s
electoral system, said; “It was the same electoral system that
produced the present APC government of President Muhammadu Buhari, in
an election adjudged as relatively free, fair and credible. So what
happened to the system after May 29, 2015 that this present government
took over? How did we get to this level of inconclusive and
questionable elections in which the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) and security agencies appear to have become part of
the ruling party?”

In his presentation at the public hearing on constitution and
electoral reform held at Ogun State Cultural Centre, Abeokuta today,
Governor Fayose said; “Even when it inherited a working system that
conducted elections adjudged as free and fair by local and
international communities, INEC has failed consistently to replicate
the inherited working system due to overzealousness and rabid passion
to work as appendage of the federal government.

“Imagine an election that is ongoing, only for INEC to postpone
counting of votes by midnight, with the party agents driven away. Any
result announced in the morning has lost any credibility and
legitimacy and cannot represent the will of the people.”

The governor, who was represented by the Chairman, Ekiti State House
of Assembly Committee on Information, Dr Samuel Omotoso pointed out
that “The only time this country made an attempt at a reliable
electoral reform was during the tenure of President Umaru Yar’Adua who
appointed retired Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mohammed Uwais as
the chairman. This singular move gave the panel credibility,
widespread acceptability and massive supports from all over the
country and across political divides.

“Such cannot be said of this panel that is overshadowed with massive
moral burdens and conflict of interest as a result of the chairman
being a card carrying member of a political party called APC.”

He said; “Senator (Dr) Ken Nnamani, being the South-East regional
leader of APC is incapable of rising above primordial and party
sentiments to give Nigerians anything different from electoral
inconclusiveness that we have at the moment.

“Any reform from such encapsulation can as well be said to be dead on arrival.”

Speaking further, Governor Fayose described INEC under the present APC
government as the champion of electoral malpractices, saying “INEC and
security agencies need to purge themselves of all these putrid
behaviours and face the reality of modern day democracy.

“As Governor of Ekiti State, I have no reservation about reviewing and
reforming our electoral process but I am reluctant about the sincerity
of purpose deploy each time we display such political hallucinations
under the guise of reforms, this has amounted severally to playing to
the gallery and this committee just like others that have embarked on
several wild goose chases in the past is not likely to be different.

“When those who are to supervise an election take over the process and
turn themselves to interested parties rather than rise above board,
then we breed nothing other than chaos, pandemonium, mayhem, confusion
and disorganisation of the whole process.

“We all know those who commit crimes during the elections but this
same people are protected using the police, who is supposed to ensure
orderliness and legal consequences for electoral infractions. The
police would rather arrest and prosecute the victims of electoral
malpractices and violence while releasing the actual aggressors due to
the relationship of these offenders to the government in power.

“The penchant for disorder by the umpire has got to a state of
obsessive compulsive disorder, in the sense that rather than ensure
sincerity of purpose within the system, what we have is deceit,
flippancy and double standards.

“Therefore, there is no gainsaying that this electoral review body is
not needed until the panel is equitable, non-partisan and devoid of
influence from the powers that be. He who comes to equity must come
with clean hands.”

Even if I give you the name of my company, you will still say it doesn't exist until you pay me a visit.

Your type can never be satisified.

What is your own contribution? None! You run a church and don't pay taxes so we are not of the same contributory level. You benefit from my taxes dude!

Why do we have more religious centers than productive centers in Nigeria? You think! Pastor think!

You depend solely on the divine for everything.

Misinformation as usual.

You claim to be an engineer, what have you designed or fabricated. Which branch of engineering did you study or you are just an online engineer

Answer my question.

You said you are paying tax, employed people, registered with CAC.

You refused to answer my simple question

You may not really understand what religion does to the psyche of the people. It makes people lazy and depend on the divine for everything. Don't forget Nigeria got independence in 1960 and six years later trouble started. Why didn't we keep insisting on building our country despite all the challenges? Like someone said most of the mega churches started in the 80's where they to advantage of the desperate situation in the country. Singapore went through tough times, go and read 'From third world to first,' by Lee Kuan Yew. In the 70's or 80's the Chinese used bicycle as means of transport. The world mocked them but they were planning for the future, they made a law for every family to have one child, that's strategic planning. Today they are a superpower borrowing Nigeria money that were once richer than them.

Have you been to churches were members pray for employment, infact the pastor will organise a programme for the unemployed youths in the church, he will ask them to sow to seed to gain employment. This youths will keep praying month in month out with no job.

Jobs can never be gotten through this way. It's a way churches scan their members and make money off them.

If you don't think religion plays a major role in the way this county is like this, why has our warehouses turn to worship centres and we see nothing wrong with it?

Mr. you are only making statements on naysays and that makes your assumptions and generalization mis-information

Pastor there's no point taking it out personal on me. I don't dance to the tune of naysayers. It's a pity you cannot argue within a context, I'm not here to tell you about myself this is a public forum. But be rest assure that I'm not begging anyone to eat rather I'm responsible for the upkeep of many individuals and families.

It's not anybody that can have RC from CAC, it's not #2000 to get it. It cost thousands of naira.

If I tell you my chain of businesses you'll be jealous, so forget it.

You are still not getting the point you yourself is arguing about.

You yourself bring in RC issues or did anybody forced you to bring it in.

Moreover who is jealous about what you have. Is it your mirage business that anybody will be jealous about.

Who said you are begging anybody to eat.

Buyer: Elefo gbe efo e wa,
Seller: efo mi kin se ti atan

At the bolded is shows you dont know what you are saying.

So if i have my company and establishment i cannot register it with CAC, just because of you,

Oga the argument wasn't about me but about the proliferation of religious centers in a society where manufacturing and productive centers are non existent.

You don't expect me to start listing my business ventures online do you? But know that I pay tax and I have a TIN, which I know you don't. I have my RC certificate from CAC.

what do you do if I may ask? Are you a religious leader?

I ask you a simple question.

This is a free medium to display what you are doing. Ole la ni kan ma ridi oun.

Oga Pastor, I see that you are threatened by the new wave of ideology currently flowing and you know what that will be when people come to the realization that waiting on the divine intervention for physical things to come into place will never happen but rather but a concerted effort to change the status quo will.

Why do people want to travel abroad if I may ask you? How many people from other countries want to leave their countries with speed the way we do? You talk about failed government, yes that's why I said that rather than we insisting on building a nation when we got independence, we ran to our various religious centers to seek for divine intervention. Countries that stood their grounds and fought for their future are better off now, Brazil, India, Singapore. Today Nigeria flock to India to seek medical care meanwhile in Ngeria we have more religious centers than manufacturing companies and hospitals put together.

Is it the duty of the religious centers to do all the listed items above? So you have agreed with me that there's so much emphasis on religion such that, they have now taken the place of education in the society, skills acquisition, entrepreneurship training etc.

Is that what the gospel of Jesus Christ is all about? Religious centers are there to rip people off while making them feel good about thier hopeless state.

Like I said that's why schools, hospitals are in shambles and only the religious centers and their schools look good.

Let me also ask, these so called schools built by religious centers, do you guys engage in examination malpractice and other malpractices? The answer is yes, so who is fooling who?

Please do these schools set up by religious centers indulge in Examination malpractice and cheating?

New wave of what. Your misinformation.

Is it the church that will build airports. (It is the people like you that will say, what is the church going to do with airport)

Church buil school you said it wrong, church build hospitals you said its wrong.

What else do you want.

Thag churxh should start building ships, airplane, vehicles, car et.al.

Mr. You are very wrong on this
