Chimighty007:
Today was dusty as the Nigerians working with the Sterling Oil Group and SEEPCO (Sterling Oil Exploration and Energy Production Company), nationwide, all came out with placards showing their grievances and pains. Some of the things inscribed on their placards are:

# Stop the Racism
# Pay up oustanding debts; First oil bonus, child education grant, shift/hazard allowances, furniture allowances etc
# Stop the ill-treatment
# Bring back Chinda and Yemi
Etc.

It was also gathered that the Indians in the company are more than the Nigerians and the worse part is that almost 90% of their Indians were trained and some are still in training by the Nigerians after which the Indians will become their heads even when they know nothing.

The Indians now have Indian Safety Oifficers, CSO, fuel attendants, electricians, crane operators among other jobs that are meant for Nigerians and daily influx of the Indians is so alarming.

The regulatory bodies (NAPIMS, DPR, Labour Union etc) that was supposed to protect the Nigerians are not helping matters because the workers can't see their effect.

Pls, help share this cry on every platform you can...

Good afternoon everyone, pls who has detailed information of recent about SEEPCO...

Members of the Shiites group, otherwise known as the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) have reacted to the ruling of the Kaduna High Court which granted its leader, Ibrahim El-Zakzaky and his wife leave to seek medical treatment abroad.

The group applauded the ruling of the court. However, the Shiites have accused the Federal Government of serial disobedience to court orders and urged compliance with Monday’s ruling.

A Kaduna High Court had granted immediate medical leave to El-Zakzaky and his wife to seek medical attention in India. Justice Darius Khoda of the Kaduna High Court ruled in favour of the application of the Shiites leader. The trip to India is to enable him seek medical treatment as requested by his Counsel.

Abdurrahman Abubakar Yola noted that the President Muhammadu Buhari administration had flouted other court orders. Further, he accused the FG of human rights abuses. He disclosed this in a press statement issued on Monday, August 5th 2019.

Yola is the Chairman, Free Zakzaky Campaign Committee.

“We are all aware of the blurred human rights records of the Nigerian government which hardly respects court orders in contravention of the constitutional provisions. Previously, Sheikh Zakzaky and his wife were still kept in detention incommunicado. This is in spite of previous court judgement ordering their immediate release from detention, thereby further flouting their fundamental rights and further jeopardizing their deteriorating health.

“With this recent ruling by the court today, we will finalize urgent plans to transfer them to a more appropriate foreign health facility for further expert management as we await the response of the Nigerian government.

We have refrained from violence, says Shiites
“We expect them to act urgently to respect the Nigerian constitution and the ruling of this honourable court to grant the duo instant permit to travel for their treatment.

“As a peaceful Movement, we have kept to our clean tradition of keeping faith with due process in seeking redress through peaceful means without any resort to violence despite deliberate and persistent provocations by the government.

Furthermore, Yola disclosed that the health of the IMN leader and that of his wife had deteriorated severely. He attributed this to injuries inflicted by the Nigerian Army and their ‘dehumanizing detention’ by the Department of State Security (DSS). Also, he alleged that the Shiites leader, El-Zakzaky had been poisoned in detention.

“The applicants are known to be clearly very ill in detention. Cconsequent on the brutal wounds unjustifiably inflicted on them by the state agents in the name of Nigerian army. Also, the resultant prolonged dehumanizing detention in the custody of the Department of State Security (DSS) and the obvious poisoning of the Sheikh. As a result of all these physical and psychological stresses, the Sheikh suffered series of mild strokes. And he is at the risk of further recurrences.

“Meanwhile, he lost one eye following the military attack. He is at a severe risk of losing sight completely in the other. He is now found to have more than twenty times the toxic levels of lead poison in his body!

“Similarly, the wife has been under excruciating pains with shrapnel deeply lodged in her body for all these years of inhuman conditions in detention. She now is able to ambulate only with the use of a wheelchair. Both were not even able to make it to the court in the last two sittings.

Ailments suffered by IMN leader, wife not treatable in Nigeria
“They have been battling ailments that could not be treated in Nigeria. This was posited by the foreign medical experts that earlier in the year assessed their health condition. Undoubtedly, both risk losing their lives had this favourable ruling been denied or further delayed.”

Yola affirmed that the ruling vindication of the Movement’s dogged approach and a victory over tyranny.

“This ruling is not only a vindication that leaving all doors open to obtain favourable outcomes works. But it is a victory for our dogged determination, patience and perseverance in the face of extreme persecution. It is a victory for truth and justice against tyranny and impunity.”

President Muhammadu Buhari’s aide, Sen. Ita Enang has enjoined State Governments, particularly those in the southern part of the country to make land available for smooth take-off of RUGA cattle settlement programme. Furthemore, he disclosed that the National Assembly had already budgeted over N2 billion for the implementation of the scheme.

He made the call in Abuja when he hosted Students of Law School Abuja from Akwa Ibom. Enang is the Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters (Senate).

Enang said the need for the governors to toe this path had become imperative. This is in view of the fact that the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development had earmarked N2.258 billion. The sum has been set aside for the implementation of the RUGA scheme.

The presidential aide explained that the first RUGA programmes were the Obudu Cattle Ranch and the Yankari Games Reserve. Furthermore, he revealed that in places like the North, earth dams were constructed to cater for cattle. In addition, he noted that there was a yearly allocation for the continuous funding of grazing areas.

Moreover, President Buhari’s aide poured cold water on suggestions that the RUGA scheme was targeted at seizing people’s lands.

“The word – ‘RUGA’ is not derived from Hausa or Fulani. But an acronym for Rural Grazing Area (RUGA) initiated in 1956 during the colonial era. It is not intended to islamise, fulanize or colonise anybody.

“RUGA is not a plan to seize land from people neither is it meant to fulanize or colonize anybody. The programme is meant to address the issue of cattle roaming and destruction of farmland which would put an end to the herders/farmers crisis.”

Enang, Buhari’s aide, says National Assembly in support of RUGA scheme
Furthermore, Enang disclosed that members of the National Assembly were in support of the implementation of the RUGA scheme. As a matter of fact, he stated that the National Assembly had approved funds for the scheme.

“Beside the over N2 billion appropriated for RUGA, there were also budgeted sum of N300 million for water sanitation. Also, N400 million development for sweet potatoes and N350 million for ginger development amongst several other budgeted,” Enang disclosed.

Equally important, he affirmed that the budgetary allocation for RUGA was meant to promote cattle breeding and meat production.

“RUGA programme is an integrated farm system which has schools, good road, tractors and mechanisation, agricultural integration with a provision for primary healthcare and veterinary clinics.”

He, therefore, appealed to all Nigerians to stop politicising the implementation of the RUGA policy.

Some students, who spoke at the event, said they had not known much about the RUGA issue because government was yet to enlighten them on it. They appreciated the senator for throwing more light on it. Further, they appealed to government to increase its public enlightenment programme to enable the citizens understand better its policies.
