OWERRI-Imo State
Government, yesterday,
vowed to prosecute any
parent or guardian who
prevents any child of school
age from going to school.
Governor Rochas Okorocha
read the riot act when he
laid the foundation stone of
the College of Advanced
Technological Studies in
Owerri.
He said: “This government
will support the free
education programme. It is
now a punishable offence
for anybody to deny
education to any child of
school age in the state.”
While lamenting that science
education had gone down in
the country, the governor
wondered why most
children are running away
from science subjects.
Okorocha said: “One of the
major decisions this
administration has taken
about this school is that
instead of their paying
school fees, government will
be paying the students a
monthly stipend.”.
The governor, who promised
to establish similar schools in
Orlu and Okigwe senatorial
zones, announced automatic
scholarship for a student of
Government Technical
College, Owerri, Master Marvis
Onyeazolam, who produced
a prototype helicopter.
Earlier, Commissioner for
Education, Professor (Mrs.)
Victoria Obasi, said the
greatest gift a child can
receive is education, which
government has placed at
the door steps of every child
in the state.
She said: “There is need to
recruit qualified teachers to
staff the school. The category
of teachers is scarce in the
system. There is also the
need to make the conditions
of service for prospective
teachers attractive.”child

Obasanjo.
Chikwe alleged that the

corrupt, but is today busy
“unleashing his political
frustration “on innocent
people, adding that, contrary
to the claim by el-Rufai that
she, Chikwe, frustrated the
sale of Nigerian Airways, “el-
Rufai laid a very controversial
formulation in the
privatisation of Nigeria
Airways”.
She explained how el-Rufai
had, in a letter, dated May 12,
2003, apologized to her over
his use of inappropriate
language over the pension
matters in Nigeria Airways,
adding that the former
minister wanted every

THE Senate adhoc committee
investigating the activities of
Bureau for Public Enterprises,
BPE, from 1999 till date was
told yesterday that the rift
between former President
Olusegun Obasanjo and his
vice, Atiku Abubakar,
frustrated the privatisation
exercise, especially the sale
of Aluminum Smelting
Company of Nigeria, ALSCON.
Disclosing this, former
Director-General of BPE, Mrs.
Irene Chigbue, noted that the
sour political relationship
between Obasanjo and
Abubakar at the end of 2006
killed the process, just as she
said that the BPE didn’t
bypass the former vice
president, who was the
chairman of the National
Council on Privatisation, NCP,
the BPE supervisory body,
until 2007.
Meanwhile, Lagos lawyer, Mr.
Femi Falana, who appeared
before the Senate committee,
urged the panel to summon
Obasanjo to give his own
side of the story against the
backdrop that he has been
fingered in the mess that
happened during the
privatization exercise.
Falana, who commended the
Senate for setting up the ad-
hoc committee, described
what happened, following
the revelations, as the looting
of Nigeria, adding that there
is no country in the world
that carries out a wholesale
privatization. He stressed
that if the committee fails to
bring the former president
and others to testify before
the panel, the Senator Ahmad
Lawan-led committee would
be accused of covering up.
Chigbue’s position was
confirmed by the incumbent
Director-General, Ms Bolanle
Onagoruwa, who said the
feud between Obasanjo and
the then vice president led to
the BPE bypassing Atiku over
the privatisation.
According to the former BPE
boss, this then led to the
violation of due process and
the Act establishing the body
where all documents were
now passed straight to the
former president who gave
all the approvals without
inputs from Atiku. She added
that former minister of
finance and now a senator
representing Kaduna South
usurped the power and
functions of the then vice
president as the chairman of
the NCP.
Many preferred bidders were
said to have been replaced
by those favoured by the
former president and even
those who never bidded for
the companies.
‘Political lacuna’
The former Director-General,
who described the period of
political logjam as ‘a lacuna’,
said, “There was a political
lacuna between the office of
the president and that of the
vice president and the
president, in his wisdom,
said we should be relating
with the then minister of
finance, who is now a
senator.”
Chigbue, in a separate
submission, however,
disagreed with Senator
Ahmad Lawan, the chairman
of the Senate panel, over the
lodgement of proceeds from
the sale of the government
companies privatised in
commercial banks when, she
stressed, she was, at some
point, compelled to be
reporting to Obasanjo
directly.
While the committee insisted
that payment of the money
into commercial banks rather
than the CBN was a violation
of section 19(1) of the BPE
Act, the erstwhile DG, who
confirmed that the agency
raked N230billion from the
privatisation exercise under
her regime, however, said
that it would be more
“pragmatic to make such
lodgement first in a
commercial bank from which
only the net earnings could
be paid into CBN”.
According to her, proceeds
from each sale could not
stand as net earnings until
liabilities, including cost of
the bid transaction, were
removed.
Corroborating Chigbue, her
predecessor at the BPE, Dr.
Julius Bala, told the Senate
committee how the rift
between Obasanjo and Atiku
frustrated the privatization
exercise, adding that though
the former vice president
was the chairman of the NCP,
BPE, rather than write or
relate with Atiku, would
“write straight to Obasanjo”.
Also quoting a World Bank
report Bala tendered, he
stressed that the bank
indicted the former Minister
of the Federal Capital
Territory Administration,
FCTA, Mallam el-Rufai, while
heading BPE, adding, “There
was no proper internal audit
arrangement for the project,
a manual financial system is
currently being used. There
are major lapses in the
retirement of advances,
charges made by the project
commercial bankers are
deemed excessive and
inconsistent, interests have
not been credited on special
account balance, expenses
are incurred because no-
objection was sought from
the bank.
“The most important public
enterprises, in terms of
economic and social impact,
have not yet been divested.
Moreover, the bank
expressed serious concern
about inadequate
transparency income
transaction (e.g NITEL), and
failure to comply with FGN’s
privatisation proc
PoliticsRe: Amaechi, Fashola Move Against Polio by gidson12(op): 7:56am On Aug 14, 2011
Rivers State governor and
chairman of the Nigerian
Governors’ Forum (NGF),
Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, has
flagged off the NGF quarterly
national crusade against
polio.
In a special broadcast in Port
Harcourt at the weekend,
Governor Amaechi
announced that the crusade
is an initiative of the NGF
geared towards eliminating
the polio scourge.
“About a year ago, all the
state governors in Nigeria
signed an accord to create
national awareness on the
scourge and disability
caused by poliomyelitis
amongst our vulnerable
children.”
“Nigeria is the only country
in Africa still battling with
preventable polio virus. The
three others countries where
polio is still endemic are
Afghanistan, Pakistan and
India.
It’s in a bid to focus attention
towards this debilitating
disease that the Nigerian
Governors Forum announced
a schedule of national
crusade to be led by the
Governors’ against the
disease.”Tthe governor said:
“The first quarter of this
campaign is targeted at men.
It is code-named ‘Men
Against Polio’ (MAP). This is
because men wield
tremendous influence in
decision-making both at
homes and in our
communities, especially in
matters of health. The need
for them to take
responsibility for a polio free
society must, therefore, be
recognized.”
He assured the people of
Rivers State of his
administration’s commitment
to the fight against polio and
urged them to take
advantage of the health
facilities provided by
government for the
realization of increased
success rate particularly in
the fight against polio
myelitis.
In Lagos, Governor
Babatunde Fashola joined
the NGF campaign against
polio, stressing that the state
could not afford to stop the
campaign against the deadly
disease now.
Speaking at the programme
held at the Oshodi Sports
Centre, he added that new
babies are daily being born
and therefore the
immunization must continue
to ensure that all children
between the ages of 0 to five
gets the immunization.
“What is more profound is
that it is taking place
simultaneously in all the 36
states which is a follow up to
the resolve of the Governors’
Forum to lead from the front
the campaign to eradicate
Polio from Nigeria”.
