Health › U.S. Donates Over 3.5m COVID-19 Vaccine To Nigeria by Mecka(op): 8:02am On Oct 15, 2021
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.”

Politics › Bayelsa Police Command Gets New CP by Mecka(op): 8:08pm On Oct 11, 2021
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.

Politics › Court Scraps All 16 Tics In Kwara, Describes Gov’s Action As Executive Rascality by Mecka(op): 9:15am On Oct 09, 2021
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.

Politics › Fayemi Laments Low Revenue Allocation To Ekiti by Mecka(op): 5:48pm On Oct 08, 2021
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.”

Politics › NIMASA: FG Has Approved Zero Import Duty For Vessel Acquisition by Mecka(op): 3:30pm On Oct 06, 2021
The federal government has approved zero import duty for ship owners to acquire vessels to boost the maritime industry.

Bashir Jamoh, director general, Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), disclosed this at the maiden edition of the Nigeria International Maritime Summit (NIMS) held in Lagos on Tuesday.

According to NAN, Jamoh said that for the country to become a maritime nation, the government needs to focus on security and incentives to help the sector grow.

He added that the zero import duty would boost the maritime industry, and it had been approved by the government in August.

“The maritime industry cannot achieve anything without security, and we are pushing towards that, and the major issue is to sustain the tempo,” Jamoh said.

“All modes of transportation, be it rail, road and air, have enjoyed incentives except the shipping sector. We are pushing for two types of incentives and I am pleased to announce that the fiscal has been granted.”

Jamoh said the country’s aspiration to be a maritime nation was not debatable but necessary, as “no country today could develop without the maritime industry”.

Crime › Nigerian Customs Seize Pangolin Scales, Claws Worth Over ₦1.7 Billion by Mecka(op): 10:17am On Oct 05, 2021
The Comptroller-General Strike Force Unit, Zone A, Ikeja-Lagos, of the Nigerian Customs Service has made another two seizures of pangolin scales and claws with Duty Paid Value worth over One point Seven Billion Naira (N1.7 billion).

Speaking with journalists in Lagos, Southwest Nigeria, the National Spokesperson for the Service, Deputy Comptroller of Customs, Joseph Attah, disclosed that the seizures were made in two phases with two suspects arrested.

“Even though this criminality is not essentially a Nigerian thing, sadly some foreigners with active connivance of few Nigerians are bent on using our dear country as a transit route for illegal wild life trade.

“You will recall that the Nigerian Customs Service, acting on credible intelligence provided by our international partners, announced wild life seizure with arrested suspects currently facing prosecution.

“In the course of further investigation to arrest other members of the gang, we received another credible intelligence from same international partner, Wild Life Justice Commission, and swiftly deployed our intelligence operatives with the Strike Force as a SWOT team, led by South-West Zonal Coordinator, Deputy Comptroller of Customs, Ahmadu Shuaibu.

“They intercepted of One (1) Mercedes Benz Bus with registration number BGT 256 LG along Kudirat Abiola Way Oregun lkeja, Lagos,”
he said.

Giving a breakdown of the seizures, Attah, who represented the Comptroller General of Customs, revealed that the bus was found containing a total of 1,009.5kg of seized items in addition to one (1) sack of Pangolin Claws of 5kg, being a total of 1,014.5kg with Duty Paid Value (DPV) of over N1.7 billion.

[b]“Two suspects, Mr Salif Sanwidi and Mr Sunday Ebenyi, have already been arrested in connection with the seizure . “They will also be charged to court to answer for their crime.

“…For the avoidance of doubt, illegal wild life trade contravenes Section 63 “e” and ”g” of CEMA Cap 45 LFN 2004. Nigeria is a signatory to Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. As responsible member of the global community, we cannot allow our nation to be used as a conduit pipe for illegal trade on wild life.

“We remain committed to the quarterly meeting with embassies of USA, UK and Germany and welcome on board other international organizations that are joining the fray.

“We commend Wild Life Justice Commission for their continued strong commitment to this course through provision of credible and actionable intelligence, including technical aids. NCS appreciates this working synergy and looks forward for more, “We call on members of the Public to support the Service by providing timely information that will help us cripple this criminal network of illegal wild life trade through our country.

“As a Service, we give assurances of strict confidentiality and swift action(s) that will yield positive results as in this instance case,”[/b] he concluded.

The Federal High Court, sitting in Lagos had earlier ordered the remand in the custody of the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) five persons, who were accused of trying to export N22.3 billion worth of pangolin scale and elephant tusk seized by the same Strike Force Team A.

The five accused persons include: four Guinean Nationals and a Nigerian. Three of the accused who were present in court were arrested in Lagos in August 2021 by officials of the Nigerian Customs Service.

The accused who were identified as Troare Djakonba, Muyribein Bereye, Mohammed Berete, Sediki Berete (Guinean) and Isiaka Musa were arraigned before Justice Tijjani Rigim of the Federal High Court, Lagos on a four-count charge.

However, Muyribein Bereye and Sediki Berete were not in court as they were said to be on the run. But counsel to the Nigerian Customs Service told the court that effort was ongoing to ensure their arrest.

Health › NAFDAC Warns Against Smuggled Frozen Chicken, Says ‘They Contain Formalin’ by Mecka(op): 9:09pm On Oct 04, 2021
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has warned Nigerians against consuming frozen poultry products smuggled into the country.

Abubakar Jimoh, spokesperson to NAFDAC, said this on Monday, in an interview with NAN in Abuja.

Jimoh said food items such as frozen poultry products are usually preserved with formalin, and should be avoided as such products contain toxic substances.

Formalin, which is a form of formaldehyde, is a chemical added as a preservative for laboratory specimens and corpses — it is described as unsuitable for human consumption as it could cause cancer.

According to the NAFDAC spokesperson, formalin is used to preserve smuggled frozen poultry products such as chicken and turkey, and should be avoided.

“NAFDAC is alerting Nigerians about this practice. There are enough poultry products in the country than to resort to frozen chicken smuggled in, in spite of the Nigerian government’s ban,’’ he said.

According to the spokesperson, if smuggling practices are not discouraged, the growth of indigenous poultry farmers and marketers will be negatively affected.

He added that patronising smuggled products will also affect the country’s foreign exchange reserves.

Foreign Affairs › Qataris Cast Ballots In First Legislative Elections by Mecka(op): 10:35am On Oct 02, 2021
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.
