uceee: Nigerian students, how logical are you? Have you asked yourself what ASUU stand to loose in this their so-called "fight". Nigerian students stay at home, waste their time, and return to a rushed academic calendar, the Nigerian government suffers bad publicity and other things but ASUU enjoy the break while collecting their salaries. After the strike, they get more allowances. No work, no pay should be introduced, then we'll know how genuine their "struggle" is.

Politics › FG To Constitute Governing Council For Sovereign Wealth Fund by gratiaeo(op): 5:38am On Sep 14, 2013
Abuja - Mr Uche Orji, the
Managing Director of the
Nigerian Sovereign Investment
Authority (NSIA), has said that
the governing council for the
Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF)
will soon be constituted.
Orji said this in Abuja on
Friday when he spoke as the
guest speaker at the Learning
Series workshop of the
Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC).
The workshop had as its theme,
“Sovereign Wealth Fund and
the Nigerian Capital Market…
joining up the dots’’.
Orji also said that the board of
the NSIA would soon announce
its first investments, adding
that adequate measures had
been taken to ensure the safety
of the 1billion dollars
capitalisation fund.
To ensure the profitability of the
fund, he said that innovative
products were being developed
that would help guarantee
maximum returns on
investment.
“One of the best ideas we have
seen so far is the creation of
monoline insurance.
“Now, we have to appoint
somebody to go and develop the
idea and get investors and see
how that eventually works,”
Orji said.
The SWF Bill was signed into
law in May 2011 by President
Goodluck Jonathan, and was set
up with a 1 billion dollars fund
from the Excess Crude Account.
Orji noted that the Stabilisation
Fund of the SWF had an initial
investible fund of 200 dollars
million, while the Infrastructure
Fund and the Future Generation
Fund, each also had investible
fund of 325 million dollars.
The managing director said the
balance of 150 million dollars,
which would be kept as
`unallocated’ for now, would be
used to top up each of the funds
as opportunities arise
He identified seven areas of
investment of the fund as road,
transport, health care, housing,
power and gas, agriculture and
water resources.
Orji said that within the next
few weeks, “details of how much
is going to be deployed to these
sectors will be unveiled’’.
He also said that the percentage
of the fund that would be
invested in the country’s stock
market would be in two
tranches.
“The first tranche of investment
is the Emerging Market
Portfolio and there is also the
Private Equity which we are
going to be investing in private
equity companies here and
abroad.”
Also speaking, the Director-
General, Securities and
Exchange Commission, Ms
Arunma Oteh, said the purpose
of the series was to sensitise
Nigerians on how to finance the
country’s huge infrastructure
deficit.
“The Ministry of National
Planning recently put together
an integrated infrastructure
master-plan which says that in
the next 30 years, Nigeria will
need about 3.9 trillion dollars
for investing in infrastructure.
“Given the size of our budget
which is about 30 billion dollars
a year, then obviously we need
to look for innovative ways to
support the funding of
infrastructure and be able to
make instruments available in
the capital market to help it
support infrastructure.”
Oteh said the event was to
ensure that, for every dollar
spent in Nigeria, four dollars
were gotten in return.
She described Nigeria’s SWF as
being unique for developmental
purpose. (NAN)

ENUGU — DESPITE a sub-sisting order of an Enugu State High Court, restraining Enugu State Government from demolishing stalls at the Old Park Market in Enugu metropolis without first relocating the 890 affected traders, the state government has pulled down stalls in the market.
Apart from the statutory shop owners in the market, no fewer than 2,000 other traders doing business in the market are to be displaced as the state government had served a fresh eviction notice to enable it demolish the entire structures in the market with effect from today.
In the first phase of the demolition exercise carried out under the supervision of Enugu Capital Territory Development Authority, ECTDA, about 66 stalls were brought down, while the remaining 824 were marked for demolition.

Government had last year indicated interest to relocate the traders in the market to enable it erect a shopping mall in the place and asked the affected traders to move to the new market on Aria Road.
The suit
However, when government began to issue quit notices to the affected traders, the traders proceeded to court on the ground that the so-called alternative allocation was not real.
In the suit on their behalf by Ifeanyichukwu Eneh against the state government and Enugu Capital Territory, the traders had sought the protection of their property rights.
The court had, in both interim and interlocutory orders, restrained the state government from demolishing the stalls without providing alternative place to the affected traders.
Some of the affected traders, who spoke on the development, yesterday, said they were shocked to arrive their shop on Friday to discover a notice from the state government, urging them to “park out without an alternative place,” even when there was a subsisting court order barring government from demolishing the stalls.
A victim’s story
Chief Ahara, one of the affected traders, said: “We are not against government doing whatever it wants to do with the place. What we are saying is that many of us have paid rents in advance, running into millions, to the same state government.
“They asked for the rents, collected them and never told us that we are not wanted at the place. This is where we do our business. Many of us have two to three shops here.
“What we are asking for is that they show us alternative places to do our business.”
In a statement on their behalf by their counsel, Tagbo Ike, they condemned the action of the state government as not only dictatorial but barbaric.
He said: “We watch in awe and total amazement the orchestrated demolitions and threats of further demolitions of market stalls of our clients at Old Park, Ogbete Market, Enugu, by the government through the instrumentality of Enugu Capital Territory Development Authority despite a subsisting and extant order of the High Court of Enugu State stopping the demolition.
“We find the state government’s posture and attitude as not only dictatorial and draconian, but also barbaric, contemptuous disregard to extant and subsisting court order, affront to rule of law, which forbids parties in a suit in court from compromising same, and flagrant show of lawlessness and arbitrariness.
‘Not civil’
“We live in an age where the rest of humanity is striving to attain the civilised ethos of international best practices and the Enugu State Government, rather than adhere to this international norm, chooses a descent to the Hobbesian state of impunity, arbitrariness and lawlessness.”
He implored the state government to abide by the rule of law and cease further demolition of the market stalls, and await the outcome of the litigation.
Meanwhile, efforts to reach the Commissioner in charge of the ECTD, Mr. Ikechukwu Ugwuegede, on the issue proved abortive as he neither answered calls to his mobile number nor responded to text messages sent to him on the issue, at press time.

Politics › APC To Register Members October by gratiaeo(op): 6:17am On Sep 13, 2013
The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) says it will begin the registration of its members nationwide in October.

The interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, made this known when he addressed newsmen after its NWC meeting in Abuja on Thursday.

Mohammed said the party had harmonised and finalised process as well as create format for future activities that would enable the party to participate in future elections.

He said the party, after its nationwide membership registration, would be able to contest the future local government, bye-elections and governorship elections in the country.

Mohammed said the NWC also set up a committee to work out modalities for the funding of the party.

“The party has resolved to maintain inclusive party machinery where all parties that merged into the APC will fully participate in all its activities and membership registration in October.

“Harmonisation of membership registration into the party would also be carried out from ward levels to ensure that all its members are registered.


He called on the Cross River State Independent Electoral Commission not to conduct the council elections because the issues bordering on the polls were still in court.

He said the APC had successfully conducted its primaries in Anambra, noting that, “it is on record that we are the only political party that has a transparent and direct primary.

“This simply means that our party loyalists voted from the ward to the state level."

nickxtra: Madam Waziri, you can't fool Nigerians all the time, but sometimes ago. Nigerians are well informed of how the then Minister of Justice, Aonduaka, worked and used you to frustrate and derail the prosecution of Ibori by the EFCC. We know the dirty things EFCC under you did to always take the wrong side in order to actualize ur game plan, which was also the game of the FG then. We know how it took the UK government to prosecute Ibori, when the Courts in Nigeria, in clandestine connivance with the EFCC under you, thwarted the course of justice. Madam Waziri, pls wise up. Obasanjo is not your class; If he says your appointment as EFCC chair was orchestrated by Ibori, as a former President of the country, he is in a position to know the inside things in the government.
And the truth is coming from saint Obasanjo, who is fooling who in this country

sundyke107: I expected this from egocentric individual like you....In the word of Uthman Dan Fodio 'Conscience is an open wound only the truth can heal it' My brother (if truly you are an Igbo son) the Westerners value education more than Easterners. Charity they say begin at home. I was amazed when an elderly man had to give up his seat in a commercial vehicle for school children.....Its only in the West that a commercial bus can carry school children fare-free but in the East the reverse is the case.... Some of us (not all) lack integrity all spheres.

I rest my case
What i want to hear is is west more educated east?
The Chief Stores Officer of
the Niger state Universal
Basic Education Board
(SUBEB) and three other
civil servants in the state,
have been arrested for
diverting free instructional
and learning materials,
including textbooks meant
for public schools in the
state to Onitsha Market in
Anambra state.
Blueprint learnt that
the Chief store officer,
who is an Assistant
Director, two of his
staff and another man
working with the
House of Assembly,
were picked last week
by the operatives of the
Department of State
Security Service (DSS)
following a tip from a
trader arrested in
Onitsha with the UBEB
textbooks coded for
Niger state by the
Universal Basic
Education Commission
in Abuja.
The trader reportedly
disclosed that he got
the supply of the books
from the SUBEB staff
in Minna before
leading security
operatives to pick up
the suspects.
It was learnt that the
man working with the
House of Assembly
acted as the contact
person between the
Onitsha Market trader
and the SUBEB staff in
the channel of
distribution of the free
textbooks.
Chairman of SUBEB,
Alhaji Uba Hassan
Kuta, confirmed to
Blueprint that the
affected staff were
under interrogation by
security agents.
He said the state Head of
Service (HOS), Alhaji
Ibrahim Matane, had also
directed administrative
probe into the matter in
accordance with the civil
service rules of the state.
He explained that the
diversion of the free
textbooks to the market
was not peculiar to Niger
state as many other states
had complained that such
books were being sold in
local markets.
