Politics / You Can Probe Amaechi, Court Tells Rivers Govt by Georgville(m): 7:41am On Aug 21, 2015
THE Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, on Thursday, dismissed the suit filed by a former governor of the state, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, challenging the setting up of a Judicial Commission of Inquiry to probe his administration.

The State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, had constituted the Justice George Omereji-led judicial commission of inquiry to probe the sale of assets belonging to the state by the Amaechi administration.

But Amaechi had gone to court to challenge the setting up of the commission of inquiry to probe the immediate past government.

However, Justice Simeon Amadi, who delivered judgment in the suit, affirmed that the judicial commission of inquiry was not established to investigate the personal activities of the former governor.

Justice Amadi added that the commission was established to investigate the previous actions of government as they affected the people of the state.

According to him, Wike, by the provisions of the law, is empowered to establish the judicial commission of inquiry to investigate previous actions of government.

Justice Amadi specifically said that there was no law preventing a state government from finding out how the state’s resources were spent.

On the assertion by Amaechi that the 30 days set aside for the sitting of the judicial commission of inquiry will deny him fair hearing, Justice Amadi maintained that the number of days set aside for the commission did not breach his (Amaechi) right to fair hearing.

According to him, since Amaechi has yet to file a memorandum before the commission and has not appeared before it, the former governor cannot complain of not being given a fair hearing.

The court stated that the 30 days set aside for the commission of inquiry were not sacrosanct and could be extended.

The court described Amaechi’s suit as being speculative because the former governor failed to prove the injuries he had suffered as a result of the establishment of the commission of inquiry.

Amadi added that the terms of reference of the commission did not accuse the former governor of crime – contrary to the former governor’s claim.

He pointed out that the former governor was not on trial, saying, “The judiciary is not only the last hope of the common man, but it is also the last hope of the mighty and the movers and shakers of democracy. Those who by the benevolence of the judiciary got to power should resist the temptation to emasculate the judiciary.”

However, the Rivers State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Emmanuel Aguma, explained that with the court ruling, the commission of inquiry could begin its sitting and promised that it would be fair to all parties.

Aguma pointed out that the court decision on the matter had shown that no claimant could run to a court to stop the “legitimate business” of a judicial commission of inquiry.

But Amaechi’s counsel, Mrs. Winifred Enyinnaya, said the former governor would appeal against the judgment.

Politics / Stop Fixing Fuel Prices, NNPC, Others Tell FG by Georgville(m): 7:29am On Aug 21, 2015
The fixing of petroleum products’ prices is denying the country investment in the downstream sector of the oil and gas industry and depriving Nigerians certain benefits from the country’s petroleum resources, industry stakeholders said on Thursday.

The Federal Government currently regulates the prices of Premium Motor Spirit, otherwise known as petrol, and kerosene, and subsidises their prices to enable Nigerians to get the products at the regulated prices.

The regulated price of petrol is currently N87 per litre while that of kerosene is N50 per litre. But the products are sold above the regulated prices in parts of the country, despite government’s subsidy.

The Group Managing Director, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Dr. Emmanuel Kachikwu, in his address at the National Association of Energy Correspondents’ conference in Lagos, said, “Subsidy creates distortions in government revenue distribution as a result of round-tripping and unnecessary carry-over of expenditures every year in a way that is difficult for government to control or sustain.”

He noted that subsidy accounted for 20 per cent of the Federal Government budget in 2013.

Kachikwu, who was represented by the acting Managing Director, National Engineering and Technical Company Ltd, Mrs. Bola Ashafa, said, “Deregulation policy is essential to the transformation and growth of the downstream sector of the oil and gas industry.

“Speedy implementation of this policy in Nigeria would go a long way in encouraging inflow of private sector and international investment; ensure that Nigerians derive fair deal from the abundant petroleum resources in the country through fair product prices for consumers and full cost recovery and reasonable margins for operators.”

He said the implementation of the policy would entrench efficiency in product usage; product availability and effective competition among investors, hence putting an end to product shortage.

He, however, said critical enablers such as security of the product and distribution infrastructure must be assured to guarantee the availability of the petroleum products at affordable prices.

The NNPC boss said, “We are fully committed to reforming the existing refineries and boosting domestic petroleum product supply. Currently all the refineries have been re-streamed but are yet to attain optimal capacity.

“Removal of price control mechanisms is deemed imperative to ensure full growth of the sub-sector by allowing private stakeholders to complement the government efforts in developing the industry.”

He said the NNPC would continue to maintain stability in the supply and distribution of petroleum products nationwide to avoid energy crisis.

According to him, the corporation has enough stock of petrol to service the country for 25 days at a national consumption rate of about 40 million litres per day.

“Unfortunately, the stock is not immediately available across the 21 depots in view of the challenges facing the distribution pipelines facilities,” he said.

The Chairman and Managing Director, Mobil Oil Nigeria Plc, Mr. Tunji Oyebanji, said, “What we are talking about is deregulation of the prices; for the prices to be determined by market forces,” but that “there has to be government regulation in terms of standard and quality.”

He noted that there was a time in the country where prices were not fixed by the government.

According to Oyebanji, the lack of full deregulation generates uncompetitive climate and lack of investment and innovation.

He said, “We are looking for a sustainable industry where pricing is liberalised, leading to steady supply, increased profitability, large-scale investment in refineries, increased competition, and an industry where technology plays a role. But currently there is no incentive.”

He said the government had yet to pay them their subsidy arrears.

On his part, the Director-General, Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Mr. Muda Yusuf, decried what be called the absence of clear policy direction from the government with respect to the oil and gas industry.

According to him, there are people who want to invest in the industry but who are being discouraged by lack of a clear policy direction.

“It is important that we quickly deregulate the downstream sector to attract investment,” Yusuf said.

The Managing Director, NIPCO Plc, Mr. Venkataraman Venkatapathy, said the move from a regulated market to deregulation should be done in a phased manner, adding, “We must take a holistic approach rather than one pre-determined solution.”

The President, Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, Comrade Francis Johnson, said, “As a labour union, we are not averse to deregulation but that the focus of deregulation should be based on local production rather than importation.

Politics / Rebuild Roads In South East States, Igbo Group Urges FG by Georgville(m): 12:31pm On Aug 04, 2015
Port Harcourt – Chinedu Nwogwugwu, the Chairman of an Igbo socio-cultural group in South Africa, has called on the Federal Government to rebuild roads in South East States.
Nwogwugwu, who is the Chairman of Nze na Ozo (group of titled men), made the call on phone from Johannesburg, South Africa.
He said that the condition of some federal roads in the South East states were deplorable and needed urgent attention.
Nwogwugwu also said that the bad condition of the roads had affected socio-economic activities in the area.
He also called on governors of South East states to unite and develop the area.
“ There is need for the governors to be united, irrespective of the party they belong to. With unity, we can achieve a lot as one people,“ he said.
Nwogwugwu, who also spoke on the celebration of the new yam festival held under the auspices of the pan Igbo cultural group, Ohaneze Ndi Igbo, said the event attracted other ethnic groups from Nigeria and South Africa.
The President of Ohaneze Ndi Igbo in South Africa, Chief Obi Amadi, also said that yam remains a revered crop in the South East Zone and was often celebrated at harvest time in early August.
He also said that new yam celebration was a period for merry making and offering prayers for bountiful harvest.
Amadi also urged leaders of South East states, especially governors, to offer the people democracy dividends.
“ It is when we speak with one voice that the Igbo will attract more dividends from the Federal Government,“ he said.
The President of Nigeria Union in South Africa, Mr Ikechukwu Anyene, said the new yam festival projects the rich culture of Nigeria in South Africa and the global community.
“ The Nigeria Union, South Africa, regards the Ohaneze and other associations as Nigeria`s cultural ambassadors for projecting the nation`s rich culture in South Africa.
“ Nigeria Union will always encourage such associations to continue to project the rich culture of the nation in South Africa,“ he said. (NAN)

Health / FG Ready For Ebola Resurgence – CDC by Georgville(m): 12:22pm On Aug 04, 2015
Prof. Abdusalam Nasidi, National Coordinator, Centre for Disease Control, on Tuesday said Nigeria had taken adequate measures to contain the resurgence of Ebola Virus Disease in the country.

Nasidi disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja.

According to him, the measures are in response to the recent resurgence of the disease in neighbouring Liberia which had earlier been certified Ebola-free by the World Health Organisation.

Nasidi said screening had been intensified at strategic entries in the country, with the establishment of a rapid respond team and an emergency response centre, at the federal level.

He said, “There are automatic temperature scanning cameras mounted at strategic places which take one’s temperature and other parameters.

“If it indicates a high temperature, such an individual would be apprehended and taken into isolation immediately.

“With this level of preparedness, I don’t think that the diseases can take us by surprise anymore.”

Nasidi further said that CDC, had been working with various scientists from Germany, Guinea and other counties to discover other possible causes and the prevention of Ebola.

He said the CDC had organised training for medical personnel and volunteers, adding that some of the programmes were still ongoing in various states in the country.

He said during the outbreak of Ebola in Liberia in 2014, 211 Nigerian experts were sent to that country and Sierra-Leone, as part of African support to Ebola in West Africa.

“We were able to assist the countries to reactivate health care services which led to a drastic reduction of the epidemic before its resurgence,’’ he said.

Nasidi said in order to fully contain the disease, the National Orientation Agency had been involved in educating people in various languages, mostly on the danger of consuming bush meat.

He warned that the consumption of bat meat remained the main source of picking up the virus.

Politics / Re: President Says Ministers Won't Award Contracts Again by Georgville(m): 1:00pm On Jul 26, 2015
helpee:
to be honest, this is the first time I will quote anybody shouting wailing wailers. It is irritating. It makes you appear clueless. Please be creative. You can defend buhari but not by shouting wailing wailers in every thread. No single man can be perfect. If buhari can't trust the ministers he is yet to appoint then it means he has personality problem. He can't curb excesses by stopping ministers from awarding contracts. Who will eventually monitor the contract? You make more money monitoring contract execution than awarding it. Contract money are paid in instalments based on recommendations of the monitors. The monitors can make life difficult for the contractor if they don't settle them cos without their recommendations no further money will be paid. All these talk talk from this administration is at best primitive. And to worsen the situation, the supporters keep shouting wailing wailers instead of constructive criticism. Very irritating

Obama spoke when he received the Nigerian leader who was on 4-day official visit in the country.
See Photos here;
Who expressed confidence in the Buhari’s ability to tackle corruption and insecurity in Nigeria, pledging the support of the American government to Buhari.

US President Barack Obama speaks with Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari during a meeting in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, July 20, 2015. Obama welcomes Nigeria’s freshly elected president after the country’s first ever democratic transition. AFP
He described Nigeria as an important country in the continent of Africa.
He said: “It is a great pleasure to welcome President Buhari and his delegation here in the White House for his first visit since the historic election that took place.
Nigeria is obviously one of the most important countries in the World, one of the most important countries in the African continent. Recently we saw an election in which a peaceful transition to a new government took place. Nevertheless, the people of Nigeria understand that only through a peaceful political process that can change takes place.
“President Buhari came into office with reputation for integrity and a very clear agenda, that is to make sure that he has been bringing safely security and peace to his country. He is very concerned about the spread and the violence that is taking place there and the atrocities and has a very clear agenda in defeating Boko Haram and extremists.
“I want to emphasized how much I appreciate President Buhari’s work so far. I have seen him put together a team so that we can do everything that we can to help him succeed and help the people of Nigeria succeed”.
Also speaking, President Buhari expressed gratitude to the American Government for assisting Nigeria conduct a credible election in March.
While thanking president Obama for the invitation to visit America, Buhari emphasized that the visit of the Secretary of State before the elections added a boost to the credible of the election.
“And the maintenance of pressure by United States mainly and Europe to make sure that the elections were free, fair and credible made us to be where we are now.
“It would have been almost impossible if the United States did not maintain the pressure on the former Nigerian Government”, he said.
Some Nigerian officials who accompanied president Buhari to the United States included governors of Nasarawa, Borno, Imo, Oyo and Edo States amongst others federal government officials.

Politics / Get Ready To Sell Your Private Jets’ – Gov. Oshiomhole Tell Owners by Georgville(m): 6:37pm On Jul 03, 2015
Port Harcourt – Gov. Adams Oshiomhole of Edo on Friday advised public officers and politicians to get rid of their private jets as President Muhammadu Buhari had begun blocking financial leakages in the country’s economy.

Oshiomhole made this known at a public lecture titled “Labour and the Nigerian Economy: What needs to be done”, held at the University of Port Harcourt.

He said that businessmen who connived with some officials of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to defraud the nation through subsidy claims would be probed.

“Few people (in Nigeria) are taking away so much wealth, while majority of the people are going home with almost nothing.
“A clear example is when you arrive at the private wing of the airport in Abuja; you will find more than 40 to 50 private jets parked there in one airport alone.

“The question is what sources do these private jet owners get their wealth from; and which businesses do they run to acquire this luxurious lifestyle.

“You find a young man who has connection with state-owned NNPC, which is suppose to work for the interest of Nigeria, corruptly work for only the interest of few persons,” he said.

Oshiomhole said that billions of state funds had being stolen by a few individuals due to alleged chronic corruption perpetrated by some NNPC officials.

He said that the Buhari-led administration is already making moves to rid the nation of these corrupt officials and institutions.
“Very soon, those who maintain luxurious assets and private jets will begin to sell them because they will no longer be able to maintain them.
“The sources of procurement of these ill gotten wealth by these people is currently being disconnected and more will be disconnected in the few days and in the coming weeks,” he said.

Oshiomhole blamed the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) for its failure to call politicians to order in the face of the country’s current falling economy.

He said it was unfair that Senators could earn an annual salary of about N200 million when the lowest grade worker earned a paltry N18,000 monthly as minimum wage or N216,000 as annual salary.

“How NLC has kept quiet and allowed Senators allocate to themselves annual income of N200 to N300 million both as basic salaries and bogus allowances combined baffles me,” he queried.

The governor said that Nigerians should not be deceived with clamour by some politicians to cut their basic salaries by halve.
He recalled that former presidents Umaru Yar’Adua and Goodluck Jonathan had cut their salaries and that of their ministers by 25 per cent each, which meant the officials currently earned 50 per cent less salaries.

“Now, in the face of current harsh economic realities, some politicians are saying that 50 per cent should be removed from their salaries to appease Nigerians.

“This implies that if you plus the current 50 per cent reduction demand and the already removed 50 per cent which was never restored by the previous administrations; it will amount to 100 per cent reduction.

“This is a clear case of the more you look the less you see as politicians are bent on deceiving and confusing everyone because the main money are not in salaries but in their allowances,” he said.

Oshiomhole called on President Muhammadu Buhari to revoke licences of electricity generation and distribution companies, saying the sector was “fraudulently” privatised and currently enmeshed with corruption.

According to him, the country will grow economically if policy makers come up with policies that were in-tune with the character of Nigerians. (NAN)
