The United States has donated over 3.5 million dozes of COVID-19 vaccine to Nigeria through the worldwide initiative ensuring equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines, COVAX. A press statement by US embassy, Thursday, read in part: “The U.S. Mission in Nigeria is pleased to announce the arrival of 3,577,860 doses of Pfizer vaccine for the public health and benefit of the Nigerian people through COVAX. “The U.S. shipment arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja on October 14. The shipment will bring the total number of U.S.-bilaterally donated doses to Nigeria to over 7.5 million. “The U.S. also contributed to the first multilateral donation of AstraZeneca vaccine in March 2021. Overall, COVAX has provided Nigeria with over 10 million doses to date. “Safe and effective vaccines are our best tool to ending the pandemic. The United States has pledged to purchase and donate 1.1 billion COVID-19 vaccine doses worldwide, and to date has delivered more than 180 million doses to more than 100 countries.” According to the statement, the U.S. government’s continued efforts to provide vaccines to African Union (AU) member countries helps fulfill President Biden’s pledge when he said: “The United States is committed to bringing the same urgency to international vaccination efforts that we have demonstrated at home. We are sharing these vaccines to save lives and to lead the world in bringing an end to the pandemic.” The statement noted that, “These vaccine donations are a part of the U.S. government’s continued partnership with the Government of Nigeria in combatting COVID-19. To date, the U.S. government has provided $130 million of support to Nigeria’s Ministry of Health and Presidential Steering Committee on COVID-19. “The U.S. government is looking forward to continued coordination with Nigeria and its Center for Disease Control to deliver life-saving doses across the country through the COVAX initiative.” https://www.blueprint.ng/u-s-donates-over-3-5m-covid-19-vaccine-to-nigeria/ |

A new Commissioner of Police, CP Ben Okolo, has assumed duty at the Bayelsa State Police Command. Okolo took charge on Monday, following the deployment of the erstwhile police boss, CP Echeng Eworo Echeng to Anambra State. His posting was approved by the Inspector General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, who charged him to boost public safety in the state. Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba, who disclosed this via a statement said the IGP equally asked the new police commissioner to “bring his wealth of experience to bear in advancing the gains in crime prevention” in the Niger Delta state. He also urged residents of the state to cooperate with the new police commissioner to enable him to succeed in his assignment. The new police commissioner is a fellow of the National Defence College and hails from Onitsha in Anambra State. Having earned a Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Political Science from the University of Nigeria Nsukka, CP Okolo has vast experience in policing and community safety. Prior to his new appointment, he held key positions within the Force cutting across administration, criminal investigations, operations, amongst others. Okolo has previously served as Deputy Commissioner of Police, Force Intelligence Bureau, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Special Fraud Unit and the Head of IGP Monitoring Unit, amongst other positions. He has also attended several courses (leadership and professional) within and outside Nigeria including the Tactical Command Course at the Police Staff College, Jos, Strategic and Management Training Course at the INTERPOL Headquarters, France. https://www.channelstv.com/2021/10/11/bayelsa-police-command-gets-new-cp/ |
A State High Court sitting in Ilorin has scrapped all 16 Transitional Implementation Committee (TIC) in Kwara State, describing the state government’s action in constituting them as ‘executive rascality and abuse of power’s. An anti corruption civil society organisation, Elites Network for Sustainable Development (ENetSuD), in Kwara State, had dragged the state government to court challenging the legality of the TIC in the state. In suit no KWS/117/2021, ENetSuD dragged the State Government of Kwara, State Governor and Attorney General of Kwara State to the State High Court to seek nullification of TIC. In the reliefs sought, the organisation asked that a declaration that section 29 (1) to (5) of the Kwara State Local Government Law, 2005 is in conflict with section 7(1) of the Constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) and thus null, void and of no effect whatsoever to the extent that it empowered Governor of Kwara State to dissolve the democratically-elected Local Government councils and replace them with Transitional Implementation Committees/ Caretaker or as appointed by the Governor or any other body. The second relief asked that a declaration be made that by virtue of the combined effect of section 7 of the Constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) and the provisions of section 18 and 28 the Kwara State Local Government Law, 2005 the Governor of Kwara State had no power to dissolve the democratically-elected councils of the sixteen Local Governments of Kwara State. It also asked that a declaration that 1999 Constitution of Nigeria (as amended) does not recognize the purported Transitional Implementation Committee/ Caretaker or any other name whatsoever called in Kwara State and the creation or appointing of such is therefore unconstitutional. ENetSuD also asked that a declaration that the Respondents lack vires to release or use Kwara State resources to fund purported Transitional Implementation Committee/ Caretaker or any other name whatsoever called in view of sections 1(1), 7(1) and 15 (5) of the constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended). It therefore asked for an Order setting aside the purported appointment of Transitional Implementation Committee by the Kwara State Government of 5th March, 2021 or any other dates whatsoever. https://independent.ng/court-scraps-all-16-tics-in-kwara-describes-govs-action-as-executive-rascality/ |
Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, has lamented the low revenue allocated to the state. He said the fund, which he put at N3billion, was barely enough to pay salaries with almost nothing left to spend on infrastructure. Fayemi spoke at an engagement programme with Ekiti federal civil servants and political office holders in Abuja on Thursday night. The governor said because of the low revenue allocation, he has been relying on his ingenuity, network and support from development partners to bring development to the state. He said, “When you really look at it, we are 34 on the revenue ladder of this country. “What comes to us is roughly N3 billion and by the time we settle the wage bill in the state, we have merely zero left for infrastructural development. “We need to rely on the network that we have and the creativity and innovation of ourselves, engagement of development partners who have significantly supported us in the state. “However, over the last three years, we have brought investments worth over $300 million in Ekiti state. That’s just a segment of our economy.” Fayemi expressed hope that his successor would be from his party in order to continue some of his projects. “I hope I am able to do my third term through whoever that would be coming. That is the magic of Lagos,” he said. Despite the paucity of fund, however, the governor promised to find a lasting solution to the Ado-Akure Road. The PUNCH on Monday reported how commuters and motorists were stranded due to the poor state of the road. Fayemi said his administration had tried to ensure the road was fixed but was constrained. He however added that the road would be fixed. He said, “We have tried to do the Ado-Akure Road. I can reliably tell the house that we would ultimately sort that road out. “It is one of the contradictions of being in a federation. “You have your limit as a state and the Federal Government has its own too, it sometimes ends in these challenges.” https://punchng.com/fayemi-laments-low-revenue-allocation-to-ekiti-says-fund-barely-enough-for-salaries/ |

Qataris began voting on Saturday in the Gulf Arab state's first legislative elections for two-thirds of the advisory Shura Council. Voters began trickling into polling stations, where men and women entered separate sections to elect 30 members of the 45-seat body. The ruling emir will continue to appoint the remaining 15 members of the Council. "With the chance to vote I feel this is a new chapter," Munira, who writes children's books and who asked to be identified by only one name, told Reuters . "I'm really happy of the number of women standing as candidates." The Council will enjoy legislative authority and approve general state policies and the budget but has no control over executive bodies setting defence, security, economic and investment policy for the small but wealthy gas producer, which bans political parties. Eighteen women are among around 183 candidates hoping to be elected at stations across 30 districts in the country, which has for several years held municipal polls. Campaigning has taken place on social media, community meetings and roadside billboards. "This is a first-time experience for me ... to be here and meet people talking about these things that we need," said Khalid Almutawah, a candidate in the Markhiya district. "In the end we want to promote our society and we try our best to help our people and our government." The election indicates Qatar's ruling al-Thani family is "taking seriously the idea of symbolically sharing power, but also effectively sharing power institutionally with other Qatari tribal groups," said Allen Fromherz, director of Georgia State University's Middle East Studies Center. The election, approved in a 2003 constitutional referendum, comes ahead of Doha hosting the World Cup soccer tournament next year. Critics have said voting eligibility is too narrow. Qatar's deputy prime minister and foreign minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani, last month described the vote as a new "experiment" and said the Council cannot be expected from the first year to have the "full role of any parliament". Kuwait has been the only Gulf monarchy to give substantial powers to an elected parliament though ultimate decision-making rests with the ruler, as in neighbouring states. The huge number of foreign workers in Qatar, the world's top liquefied natural gas producer, means nationals make up only 10 percent of the population of 2.8 million. Even then not all Qataris are eligible to vote. The polls have stirred tribal sensitivities after some members of a main tribe found themselves ineligible to vote under a law restricting voting to Qataris whose family was present in the country before 1930. Small demonstrations against the law broke out in August led by Al Murra tribe members. Qatar's foreign minister has said there is a "clear process" for the electoral law to be reviewed by the next Shura Council. https://english.alaraby.co.uk/news/qataris-cast-ballots-first-legislative-elections |
