The Week Eight Nigeria Professional Football League game
between Kano Pillars and Heartland ended abruptly when
fans of the home team disrupted the match after a fan
was allegedly shot inside the Sani Abacha Stadium.
The tie was going on smoothly and was in the 21st minute
when the incident happened. Fans trooped into the field
and drove away the players and play was suspended.
Heartland players and officials had to run into the dressing
room of Kano Pillars for fear of being attacked.
An eye witness told Goal.com
that they could not really say
how the policeman shot the fan because they were
concentrating on the game.
“We did not know what actually happened because our
eyes were fixed on the game. But immediately the fans
noticed that a fan had been shot, they entered the pitch
and drove everybody away.
“That was how the match ended,” the witness said.
Kano Pillars are presently on top of the league table with
16 points.

Stoke City manager Tony Pulis has claimed that if he was
given an open cheque, he would sign Gareth Bale from
Tottenham Hotspurs and Cristiano Ronaldo from Real
Madrid, insisting that both forwards would fit his style of
play.
The Potters are currently stuck in a relegation battle and
the fans have turned on Pulis, because of his ‘kick and
follow’ brand of football and Pulis is adamant that both
players who have been in top form all season, will
perfectly fit into his team.
“If I had an open chequebook and someone said you can
have Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, people of that ilk,
fine – they would suit my style brilliantly. But we’re Stoke
City and we work within a budget we can afford,” the
Potters boss told reporters.
“A lot people have an opinion
about my style and, yes, I do like
to move the ball quickly. My preference is to play with
width and have people down the sides with pace.
“I want us to get the ball out to players who can excite the
crowd. I want to encourage wingers to run down the pitch
and get crosses in and I like to see centre-forwards in the
box putting those chances away.
“But it’s about who you can afford to bring in. You don’t
just wake up one morning and say ‘We’re changing our
entire style of playing today.
“It takes time for a club to evolve – three, four, maybe
even five years in some cases. You can’t just sign two
players and say we’re a different side now. It’s like turning
the QE2 – it has to be done gradually.”

The Federal Government is scrapping the National
Examinations Council, NECO, and the National Poverty
Eradication Programme, NAPEP among other government
agencies. It is also divesting the Joint Admissions and
Matriculations Board of powers to conduct examinations into
tertiary institutions in the country.
Some candidates during Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examinations
The government is taking the decision in order to streamline
agencies of government and reduce the cost of governance.
The decision, Vanguard gathered is part of the
recommendations of the Steve Oronsaye Panel Report on the
reform of government agencies and ministries.
The Oronsaye Committee Recommendations
Mr Oronsaye who was the former Head of the Civil Service of
the Federation recommended the abolition of 38 agencies,
merger of 52 and reversal of 14 to departments in ministries.
According to the white paper, which was drafted by a
committee headed by the Attorney General of the Federation,
Mohammed Adoke, the Joint Admission and Matriculations
Board would be divested of the powers to conduct
matriculation examinations into tertiary institutions while
universities would be allowed to conduct their entrance
examinations to students.
Although the JAMB would not be scrapped, it would be a mere
administrative structure that would set standard for minimum
requirements on how the various universities would conduct
entrance examinations.
JAMB to be re-modelled
JAMB will be modelled along same line with the body in the
United States of America which sets standards for
admissions into institutions of higher learning.
Other decisions taken by government on the Oronsaye
committee include the scrapping of the National Examinations
Council, NECO, the National Poverty Eradication Programme,
NAPEP, and the National Complaints commission.
The report seen by Vanguard, recommended that the
functions of NECO would be assumed by the West African
Examinations Council, WAEC, which will also take over the
structures of NECO nationwide.
In order to make up for the deluge of students who sit for the
external examinations of Neco, WAEC would be expected to
conduct two external examinations, one in January and
another in November for external students while still running
its internal examination programmes for secondary school
students.
Under the proposal, the National Poverty Eradication
Programme would be replaced by an agency called National
Agency for Job Creation and Empowerment (NAJCE) while the
National Complaints Commission will be merged with the
National Human Rights Commission.
The Government rejected the recommendation urgung the
scrapping of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,
the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission and the
Ministry of Police Affairs, saying it would be counter
productive.
A member of the committee told Vanguard that the decision
was preparatory to government’s plans to overhaul major
sectors in the country.
“JAMB will be divested of the admission provision. It will no
longer conduct examinations but will be a clearing house. Every
school will admit its students.
“Neco will be scrapped and its infrastructure will be merged
with that of the West African Examination Council (waec).
“Universities will be allowed to set their standards but jamb will
set the minimum standard for admission into all tertiary
institutions” the source said.
Several efforts to reach the Special Adviser to the President
on Media and Publicity failed as he did not pick his phones as at
the time of this report.
It will be recalled that the Oronsaye report stated that the
average cost of governance in Nigeria is believed to rank
among the highest in the world.
Oronsaye said in his report that “there are 541 Government
Parastatals, Commissions and Agencies (statutory and non-
statutory).
“Going by the recommendations of the Committee, the figure
of statutory agencies is being proposed for reduction to 161
from the current figure of 263.
“The Committee believes that if the cost of governance must
be brought down, then both the Legislature and Judiciary must
make spirited efforts at reducing their running costs…

NCC Slashes Call Tariffs
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has
released new set of interconnection rates for voice
services.
This can be seen as the desired response of many Nigerians, in line
with complaints made over the high tariffs charged by these
telecoms operators in the country.
The Director of Public Affairs, Mr Tony Ojobo told a news
conference in Abuja that the new rates which takes effect from
1st April and will last for the next three years and will significantly
favour subscribers.
The review, which will start from April 1, 2013, was agreed on
after comprehensive consultations with various stakeholders, the
NCC said in a statement on Thursday.
“The new termination rates, which significantly reviewed prices
downwards, are informed by the depth of competition in the
industry, while taking into consideration the position of new
entrants and small operators,” the commission said in the
statement.
According to NCC, the termination rates for voice services
provided by new entrants and small operators in Nigeria
irrespective of the originating network shall be N6.40 from April
1, 2013; N5.20 from April 1, 2014; and N3.90 from April 1,
2015.
The termination rates for voice services provided by other
operators irrespective of the originating network shall be N4.90
from April 1, 2013; N4.40 from April 1, 2014; and N3.90 from
April 1, 2015.
The current rate, which is symmetric to all operators, is N8.2.
For new entrants and small operators, the tariff drop will be by
21.95 per cent from April 1 this year, while for other operators,
the drop will be by 40.2 per cent.
“This determination shall take effect from April 1, 2013, and
remain valid and binding on licensees for the next three years until
further reviewed by the commission,” the NCC maintained.
According to the NCC, a new entrant is a newly licensed operator
entering an existing or new market within zero and three years,
while a small operator, for the purpose of the determination, is an
existing operator with a market share of zero to 7.5 per cent in
terms of subscriber base.
It will be recalled that the current interconnection rate regulation
was implemented through the NCC Interconnection Rate
Determination issued on December 21, 2009. Since then, the
Nigerian communications market has seen tremendous growth in
both, subscriber numbers as well as traffic volumes and available
technologies.
In June 2012, the commission appointed Price Water House
Coopers (PWC) to undertake a cost study for voice
interconnection.
In line with its commitment to a policy of openness, transparency,
fairness, and participatory regulation, the commission informed
stakeholders in July 2012 of its engagement of PWC to advise on
the review of interconnection rates for mobile and fixed telephony
services.
After series of meetings with operators and other stakeholders,
PWC provided the commission with recommendations related to the
regulation of voice interconnection.
