The best way to anyone’s heart is through the stomach, and investing in quality kitchen gadgets – aka stomach infrastructure – always shortens the distance between you and your favourite foods. Here are a few kitchen items that you need in your own state of the art infrastructure.

Blenders: When it comes to making smoothies or cocktails nothing zaps enthusiasm for a healthy shake like a stray chunk of ice or a clump of powder, but quality blenders always get the job done.

Refrigerators and Freezers: How best to make chilled smoothies? With a refrigerator ofcourse! You already know its indispensable for preserving food items, but every now and then all you want to do is grab some ice and chug down something cold.

Gas Cookers: Gas cookers are the way to go if you want a clean and pleasant cooking experience. Apart from the speedy delivery of food to hungry folks, it also gives you the freedom to cook different foods at the same time. Save yourself hours spent over the fire and get a multi-surface unit.

Kettle: Remember those old fashioned tea kettles that whistled to tell you when the water had reached a boiling point? If you prefer an auto-off situation, then it is time you add an electric kettle to your arsenal. You can skip the fire and still get the water hot enough for that “just right” tea temperature, without the trouble or the wait.

Microwaves: The go-to for quick reheating of food, microwaves can also be used to defrost food directly from the freezer. They work so well that it’s one of those things that once you own, you can’t let go of.

Rice Cookers: You hear rice cooker and you instantly think of a steaming plate of RICE, right? While great at preparing white rice, the CONTINUE THE ARTICLE HERE http://kleeqers.com/104-general/food/284-7-kitchen-items-to-help-you-improve-your-stomach-infrastructure

In a break with prevailing patterns on government/bench relations, the confirmation of the most senior justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Walter Onnoghen, as the substantive Chief Justice of Nigeria has involved a controversial and long-drawn-out debate. Acting President Yemi Osinbajo sent Onnoghen’s name to the senate for confirmation, Tuesday, February 7, just in the nick of time. The transmission was sequel to a letter by President Muhammadu Buhari, who is currently on medical leave in London, authorising Osinbajo to forward the name of Onnoghen to the senate for endorsement before February 10, when his tenure as acting Chief Justice of Nigeria was to elapse.

Onnoghen’s tenure as acting CJN was also extended by another three months on Wednesday by the National Judicial Council, two days before the expiration on Friday of the three months within which he could constitutionally head the country’s judiciary in acting capacity. NJC did the last minute extension to head off a constitutional – and political – crisis following an unusually long delay by Buari in the transmission of Onnoghen’s name to the senate for confirmation. He has served as acting CJN since November 10 last year, when he was appointed by the president to succeed Justice Mahmud Mohammed, who retired at the statutory age of 70 the day before. That appointment equally came after a brief interval of uncertainty. The normal practice had been to announce the successor before the retirement date of the incumbent CJN.



If the senate gives the nod to Onnoghen’s appointment, he will serve till December 22, 2021, when he will be 70.
The name of Onnoghen, an indigene of Cross River State, in the South-south geopolitical zone, had since October 11 last year been forwarded to the president by the NJC. He was expected to promptly transmit the name to the senate for confirmation in line with the constitution. But he delayed it till last Tuesday.

The curious delay has met an angry response from an ethnically and religiously sensitive populace. It has raised political tensions. Many have interpreted it as an orchestrated move to frustrate the emergence of the first CJN of southern Nigeria origin in 30 years. Such negative sentiments and the tensions that accompany them are certainly not what Nigeria needs at a time like this when everyone’s help is needed in the task of rebuilding the fabric of the country’s nationhood.

The tensions were clearly avoidable, and they could have been avoided if the Buhari administration had handled the sensitive constitutional duty of appointing a CJN with the great degree of circumspection it requires. But the government chose to keep the whole country in the dark about its plans, until tempers began to rise.
Interestingly, however, the response to the delayed presentation of Onnoghen to the upper chamber for confirmation has not played out strictly along ethnic lines.

Former military governor of Kaduna State, in the North-west, Colonel Abubakar Umar (rtd), has weighed in with words of support for Onnoghen and rebuke for Buhari. In a recent statement, Umar condemned the president’s refusal to forward Onnoghen’s name to the senate for confirmation as substantive CJN, describing it as unjust. “Without providing any cogent and plausible or believable reason for its failure to forward the name of Justice Onnoghen to the senate for confirmation, the presidency leaves Nigerians guessing and speculating about the reasons,” Umar stated in a release on February 2. He urged the NJC and the senate not to accept any nominee in place of Onnoghen for the CJN post.

Many Nigerians seem not very keen on continuing to allow needless politician-made tensions stick and divide them. Players in all arms of government should strive to encourage – and not dampen – this cooperative and patriotic spirit.

Now that it is the senate’s turn to take action on the Onnoghen issue, Nigerians expect the senators to act with fairness and dispassion. They should, during the confirmation hearing, try to douse all the tension that has surrounded the nominee’s emergence and demonstrate to Nigerians that they still have institutions that cater to all citizens, irrespective of tribe, tongue, and faith.

From what has transpired, it is clear that some persons within the Buhari system do not want Onnoghen as CJN, which raises questions that may need to be redressed by the constitution. This is without prejudice to whatever may be the outcome of the confirmation hearing on Onnoghen in the senate, which is now on recess.

The criteria for the selection of the CJN are set out in section 231 of the country’s constitution. Former president of the Nigerian Bar Association, Chief Wole Olanipekun, SAN, had in his interventions on the delay in Onnoghen’s confirmation argued that his appointment as acting CJN on November 10 last year by Buhari was from the beginning a misnomer.

This, Olanipekun said, was because the president had ample time to perform his constitutional responsibility of sending the nominee’s name to the senate since October 11 last year, when the name was sent to him by the NJC. The former NBA president maintained that the issue of acting CJN could only have arisen if the president had sent Onnoghen’s name to the senate for confirmation and the latter was unable to take a decision before the date of the previous CJN, Mohammed’s retirement. He accused Buhari of creating a dangerous uncertainty.

Some had also, allegedly, contemplated the idea of bringing a legal practitioner from outside the Bench of the Supreme Court – probably from Onnoghen’s South-south – for appointment as CJN instead of him. Though, the constitutionality of this remains unclear, Olanipekun believed the idea should have no place in the current circumstance because the NJC had already recommended someone to the president for appointment as CJN.

o suggest that Nigeria’s overall post-colonial performance has been less than stellar is stating the obvious. Sure in early 2014, Nigeria surpassed South Africa as Africa’s largest economy and has others things going for it such as the world’s second largest film industry, Nollywood, as well as diverse cultural communities.

These achievements however must be juxtaposed against the cumulative socio-political issues and problems facing the country. These include perennial gross mismanagement of the economy, the scourge of Boko Haram in the North-East, the enduring crisis in the Niger Delta over crude petroleum extraction, and more recently the agitation among elements in the Igbo community seeking to revive or enable the revival of Biafra.



It would appear that cultural groups want out of Nigeria, which is concerning. In its post-colonial period, Nigeria has often been on the verge of disintegration yet somehow it has managed to limp on. Consigned or living in a permanent crisis mode however is not sustainable.

The foregoing observations beg questions and understandings about some of the sources of Nigeria’s intractable problems and challenges? Fifty-seven years on and a civil war thrown in between, the Nigerian state and its societies have simply failed to forge an enduring sense of unity and national purpose. In fact, there has been a worsening vice improving quality to relations between the Nigeria state and its societies, which, by any measure, does not bode well for the country’s ability to live up to its vaunted potential. For the country to assume its much expected global position it is imperative that its leaders and societies gain not only a deeper understanding of the myriad path-dependencies that conspire against its progress but more significantly critically interrogate its past for relevant insights.

Prof Olufemi Vaughan’s Religion and the Making of Nigeria (Chapter 1) provides a refreshing examination into one of those critical path-dependencies, notably religion, that have adversely, depending on one’s perspective, affected state-societies relations in the country. Drawing extensively on primary sources, this book does an excellent job of reminding the reader that some of Nigeria’s pathologies precede colonial rule, and on a certain level colonial rule was grafted onto and may have reinforced them. Take for example, Islam, in what later became Britain’s Northern Nigerian Protectorate. It is a historical fact that the Sokoto Jihad spearheaded by Usman Dan Fodio from 1804-08 marked the beginning of the formal implantation of Islamic law and statecraft in the northern region. What is less widely known but excellently captured in Chapter 1 of Religion and the Making of Nigeria is the observation that Islam has had a longer presence in Northern Nigeria.

As early as the 14th century, Islam had begun to make inroads into the area. The significance of this observation is at least two-fold: first, parts of Northern Nigeria were already connected to the global Islamic network. Second, when Christian Nigerians encounter Islam and war with it as they are often want to do, they ought to recognise that they are in fact interfacing with a faith that has been dominant and present in the northern half of the country for over five centuries. Put in terms of Religion and the Making of Nigeria, the main point of emphasis is that Islam as a way of life and practice in the Northern region is not coincident with colonial rule but, channelling the French Annales School, a social development that merits the longue durée approach to its interpretation and understanding.

But much as it was a struggle for Nigeria’s colonial authorities to strike an effective balance between modernity and Islam in the North, the same challenge remains true in the post-colonial period. Regretfully, Nigeria’s post-colonial leaders have shown themselves not equal to the task of striking an effective balance between modernity and Islam, and deftly managing other religion-inspired sources of division. However, to their credit, the colonial authorities had only to contend with managing these tensions in just the northern half of the country. Discussions of some of the challenges between modernity and Islam during the colonial period, on one hand, and the broader management of both global faiths in the post-colonial period, on the other hand, are effectively addressed in Chapters 3 and 5 of the book.

Chapter 3 successfully examines the introduction of Christianity into the coastal regions of Nigeria, more specifically into the South-West region, and from the coastal regions onward to the borderlands of the Sokoto Caliphate. Two significant observations with implications for the country’s political and economic future emerge from the examination of Christianity in Northern Nigeria.

The first was the implicit decision by British colonial authorities to halt the advance of Christianity into the core territories of the Sokoto Caliphate such that the modernisation of the region was delayed. Fifty-seven years later the unintended consequences of this decision has continued to bedevil the country. The second observation was the strategic reception of Christianity by non-Hausa-Fulani communities in the Middle-Belt region of the country. The conversion to Christianity among Middle-Belters was a form of resistance to their Hausa-Fulani overlords and perceived as a lesser of two evils.

Observers of Nigeria’s post-colonial politics can glean from the discussions in Chapters 3, 4 and 5 some of the roots of the Middle-Belt region’s opposition to political parties perceived as belonging or dominated by Hausa-Fulani elites. Interestingly, the notion of division and opposition was not limited to the Middle-Belt region. This phenomenon also played itself out in the supposedly monolithic North between the Sarautaelites and the mass of commoners known as the talakawa. The remarkable thing about both of these observations is their continued resonance into the post-colonial era; talk about the past is prologue.

Despite its many merits, I struggle to understand why the south-east region was left out of the book. It certainly was not because we can assume or infer that it shared similar patterns as the south-west region. Given the underlying focus of Religion and the Making of Nigeria, two questions ensue about the south-east region: first, why did Islam fail to make significant inroads into region? Second, relative to other Nigerian cultural communities, what explains the slight preponderance of Catholics in the south-east region?

In closing, Religion and the Making of Nigeria is a refreshing and seminal piece of work and achievement. Its implications extend beyond Nigeria, and enjoin us as scholars of sub-Sahara African states and societies to critically examine and interrogate the dialectical processes and relations between pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial states and societies in the continent. Among the noteworthy things to take away from this is perhaps greater empathy for Nigeria’s post-colonial rulers. Several of the country’s myriad pathologies are not necessarily of their making and choosing.

Though this may be true, they are culpable in so far as they have under-estimated or elected to ignore entirely the path-dependent nature of these problems. Prof Vaughan does an excellent job of drawing attention to just how Nigeria’s past has continued to shape its present in non-positive ways. Nigeria’s current and future leaders and its societies owe it to themselves to read back into the myriad path-dependencies that have continued to COMPLETE IT HERE http://kleeqers.com/forum/news/3227-nigeria-and-its-interaction-with-religious-forces

https://i0.wp.com/s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/leadersandco/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/14015944/Nnamdi-Azikiwe-International-Airport-runway-Abuja.jpg

Ahead of the planned closure of Nnamdi Azikiwe airport, Abuja, for repair works by the federal government, the people of the South-east are worried by the neglect of the virtually collapsed Itobe-Ajaokuta-Ofunene road in Kogi State, which is the only route from the zone to Abuja.

If everything goes according to plan, the federal government will on March 8, less than a month from now, shut down the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja for six weeks. The closure is to enable the government build a second runway and carry out renovations. During the period, flights will be diverted to Kaduna airport and passengers will be required to travel by rail or road to Abuja. The reason is that the runway in Abuja is almost collapsing. The life span of a runway is 20 years and this particular runway in Abuja has been there for 34 years.

Even before the federal government shuts down the all-important airport, close political observers are already raising issues which in their views ought to be addressed by the government in order to reduce the possible adverse effects of the closure on commuters and motorists. Abuja airport is the second busiest airport in the country after Murtala Mohammed Airport, Lagos, in view of the influx of people to the federal capital territory. Most government officials, especially at the federal level, from the three arms of government, engage in their activities at the nation’s capital.



The anxiety over the proposed closure of the Abuja airport is understandable. This is more so when the alternative means of transportation in the country are hardly efficient. The rate of rail movement is still very small, while many of the roads are in a poor state.

Objection
Though, many individuals and groups have opposed the complete closure of the airport in view if its implications on the national economy, the government has insisted on the closure.
Chairman, Senate Committee on Customs, Excise and Tariff, Senator Hope Uzodinma, has expressed concern about the decision of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria to close the airport. According to him, the closure of the only airport in the Federal Capital Territory would cause untold hardship to international and local travellers, and also dent the image of the country.
Uzodinma said, “A complete shutdown of the airport will impact negatively on international trade and related activities with multiplier effect that can exact further pressure on an already recessed economy.

“Plans to divert Abuja bound flights to Kaduna will throw up logistics and security challenges, including endangering lives and property of travellers. All options have not been exhausted to avoid the shutdown of the only airport in our national capital for six weeks. This is including the option of a technical package to allow skeletal air operations at the airport while most repair work is executed at night.”

Deputy Senate Leader Bala N’Allah also said it was ridiculous that a capital city would be shut down because of renovation. He believed the shutdown would embarrass Nigeria, the most populous nation in Africa, and urged the government to think outside the box and reconstruct the runway in phases.
“If the news goes across the globe that the largest city is being shut down, it will create negative economic, political and social impact,” N’Allah stated.
Airlines operating in the country have equally stated that there is no need to close the Abuja airport to conduct repairs on its runway. Chairman of Airline Operators of Nigeria, Nogie Meggison, said though his members would support any decision taken by the federal government to improve the state of airports in the country, the complete closure of the airport was unnecessary.

South-east Commuters
But beyond the opposition from the Abuja axis, road users from the South-east states of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi and Enugu as well as those from Benue, Kogi and some parts of Kwara have also raised objections to the government’s plan to close the Abuja airport. They say measures should be put in place to ameliorate the hardship the closure would cause road users before the implementation of the plan.

Some of them who spoke with THISDAY said the federal government was making all necessary efforts to improve security on the Abuja-Kaduna expressway, which is expected to be busy within the period of the closure, while nothing was done to take care of the interest of South-east bound travellers from Abuja. Apart from security, the Abuja-Kaduna highway is also receiving major attention to ensure that travellers do not encounter any hitches.

While the Abuja-Kaduna axis is receiving a lot of attention, the other equally important road, which the huge number of commuters from the South-east largely use, the Otukpa-Ayimgba-Itobe-Ajaokuta-Ofunene-Lokoja road, is completely abandoned.

National coordinator of South East Democratic Coalition, Dr Maduka Okebanama, called on the federal government to quickly repair the road from the eastern axis to Abuja in order to cushion the effect of the Abuja airport closure since most of the travellers from the area would depend on the road.

“You are not going to expect our people, who ordinarily should spend about four or five hours from Enugu to Abuja, to now fly to Kaduna and still spend about two hours coming back to Abuja. That’s terribly out of order,” Okebanama said.

He stressed, “At the moment, the Otukpa-Ayimgba-Itobe-Ajaokuta-Ofunene-Lokoja road remains about the only road being used by travellers from Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi and Enugu states to Abuja. Also affected are travellers from Benue and Kogi states, as well as some parts of Kwara State. The implication of the present situation is that road users would continue to have terrible experience each time they travel to Abuja. Even lorry drivers that convey essential goods to the eastern part of the country from Kafuna and Abuja have continued to rain curses on government each time they go through the all-important road because of their near-death experiences.”

Okebanama urged the Minister of Works, Housing and Power, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, Minister of State, Aviation, Hadi Sirika, and the governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahya Bello, to close ranks and immediately look at the road with special emphasis on the three kilometres Itobe-Ajaokuta-Ofunene axis, near the Geregu Power Station in Ajaokuta.

He said, “Perhaps, the most important part of the road that requires urgent attention is the Itobe-Ajaokuta-Ofunene axis, about three kilometres, which has completely collapsed. The road in question is adjacent the Geregu Power Station, Ajaokuta. The road, which is supposed to be a dual carriage way, has not only been reduced to a one lane, but even the lane in use has also collapsed. Travelling through that portion of the road, which ordinarily should not take more than five minutes, now takes as much as one to two hours.

“I, therefore, wish to call on the Minister of Works, Housing and Power, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, Minister of State, Aviation, Hadi Sirika and the governor of Kogi state, Alhaji Yahya Bello, to immediately rise to the occasion and at least fix this three kilometres before the closure of the Abuja airport while further arrangements are made to repair the entire road.”

Perceived Marginalisation
On his part, leader of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, Uchenna Madu, accused the federal government of further extending the marginalisation and neglect of the South-east by “totally ignoring calls for the repair or rehabilitation of the road leading from the eastern axis to Abuja before shutting down the Abuja airport.”
Madu explained, “As you can see, they are only interested in Abuja-Kaduna road. They are fixing the road day and night, they are putting security measures so as to take care of themselves. But as for our people down here, they can go to hell for all they care. This is what we’ve been talking about and we will not stop.”

In a similar vein, the president of the Enugu Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture, Rev. Ugo Chime, asked the affected ministries to show concern for the plights of road users from the east by fixing the road from Otukpa to Lokoja to reduce the pressure the closure of the Abuja airport would bring on the road.

Chime said, “It is a shame that even at this time in our national life, we are still talking about roads. In Nigeria, we plan projects in silos, ministry of transportation does not liaise properly with ministry of works, ministry of works does not liaise properly with others, what you see as one problem is a general malaise, it is a problem of the country that requires proper planning to find a way out of the problem. The economy of Abuja within the period of the closure will be literally wiped away. Within that period, there is going to be a major problem as a result of the closure. They would have found a palliative measure across board, not just Kaduna-Abuja.”

Contradiction
Fashola had during his recent tour of South-east roads noted that virtually all the federal roads in the zone were undergoing rehabilitation. He, however, did not comment on the Enugu-Otukpa Ajaokuta-Lokoja road, the only road leading to Abuja from the area.

On states that have rehabilitated federal roads in their areas, the minister announced that the federal government would raise bonds to refund billions of naira owed them, noting that the federal government has carefully assessed the various claims by the concerned state governments and has concluded arrangements to refund the money through the said bonds.

The minister also shed light on the Enugu government’s intervention on federal roads. COMPLETE IT HERE http://kleeqers.com/forum/news/3226-abuja-airport-closure-ndigbo-raise-issues-over-collapsd-enugu-otukpa-ajaokuta-rd

Kaduna State Commissioner for Budget and Planning, Mohammed Sani Abdullahi, yesterday declared that the economic recession which has brought about untold hardship to many Nigerians does not exist in the state.

Highlighting the activities of his ministry at a news conference in Kaduna, the commissioner said the massive capital projects currently going on in the state has immensely impacted positively on the economic status of the state especially on the economic well being of the ordinary people.

“When we talk of recession, it does not mean that it is all aspects of the economy that is in recession, while some areas are experiencing decline, others are enjoying increase.
“For example, agricultural production declined to nine per cent over the last two years, but it has been improving since last year.


“Constructions of roads and other capital infrastructures are ongoing, and this has created jobs for labourers, food vendors, masons, block cement moulders etc. This, of course, has opened up the economy of the state,” the commissioner said.

He disclosed that in 2016, the state government realised N18 billion from Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), adding that the government hope to generate N54 billion in 2017 from sources ranging from issuance of certificate of occupancy (C of Os), ground rents among other sources.

He explained that the N18 billion was generated because all leakages were blocked, preventing those who used to steal government money.
The commissioner added that previous governments were looking for big money before they could carry out capital projects, yet they were spending huge amount of money to run government.

“Anybody that was born in Kaduna cannot be say to be proud of the past administrations because the previous governments messed up the State.

“For example, in 2012, the State government collected N68 billion federal allocation, and executed only N15 billion capital projects, and expended N52 billion, running itself.
“But this present government collected about N36 billion in 2016 and expended N58 billion on capital projects, meaning it cares for the people than itself and even in 2015, we spent more on capital projects than on current expenditures.

“It is all about prudent management of meagre resources at our disposal. Despite lower federal allocation we got, we were able to work with it and this shows you how efficient this government is,” the commissioner said.

He, however, lamented that the crisis in the southern part of the state has stalled ongoing projects in the area as the contractors had abandoned their jobs due to the crisis.
“Initially when the contractors complained to me that they cannot move to site because of insecurity in southern Kaduna, I threatened them that I will revoke the contracts if they fail to deliver within certain periods, but I COMPLETE IT HERE http://kleeqers.com/forum/news/3219-no-recession-in-kaduna-says-commissioner

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Geoffrey Onyeama, yesterday in Enugu joined in the controversy trailing the whereabouts of President Muhammadu Buhari as he insisted that the president was not in any hospital in the United Kingdom but “is relaxing in the Nigeria House” in London.

He, however, disclosed that he has not had direct communication with the president since he left the country about two weeks ago for vacation in the UK.

Speaking with journalists shortly after taking part in the ongoing re-registration exercise of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in his Eke ward in Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State, the minister noted that the hullabaloo over the president’s vacation was not necessary, adding that since assumption of office, the president had “probably rested for only three weeks.



“The president is in London, at the nation’s official residence in London, not in any hospital. He is in the Nigeria House. And, I know very well that he will be back as soon as possible. In my opinion, we don’t need to make out anything from that. When you think of the pace upon which he’s been working, not too long ago, people were saying he was travelling too much, he was not travelling on holiday, he’s been working, and it has taken a huge toll on him. After about 18 months he’s probably not had more than three weeks rest time, that’s not much in 18 months

“As the minister, I spoke to him before I went to the AU summit, we were together actually not too long ago, in Mali, Bamako in the mid-January, when we came back and I had to go to Addis Ababa, while he went to London. We spoke before he travelled.

“But since he went on vacation, I have not had direct communication with him and the reason why is because I have not had any reason to have direct communication. I could have if I wanted but, the way I see it is that he went there to rest and we have to oblige him that,” he said.

The minister also used the opportunity to disclose that efforts were in top gear to repatriate about $300 million found in some accounts in the United States allegedly taken away from government coffers by some people that held high profile positions in government in the country in time past.

He said monies were also found in some other secret accounts in Switzerland and the United Kingdom, disclosing that but for bureaucratic bottlenecks, the monies would have long been repatriated.

“Very soon they will be released. We have money in US, UK, Switzerland, we are making headway in the golf countries, in the US, we have about 300 million dollars or even more. The court there refused some people who wanted to lay claim to that, so we are ready to get it back, sometimes there are lots of bureaucracies in these countries, but we are working had to get it back,” he said.

On the party’s registration exercise, the minister expressed optimism that the response from the state had shown that the people of Enugu state have resolved to embrace the APC.

“The registration portends very well, very well known figures are moving to APC, we already registered 900 persons here, the messages we are getting, no doubt, things are difficult but the people are seeing that the government is determined to bring meaningful change. This is a government that is people centred, not about self-enrichment, its about investing in the people, investing in infrastructure. This is a progressive party, people are beginning to embrace the narrative, the party is bringing about a peaceful revolution in the country where the masses will become the bosses and the government officials are there to work for the masses,” he said.

The Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, will today continue the second leg of his tour of some Niger Delta states in search of peace, following the crisis that has recently plagued the oil-rich region.

During the visit, Osinbajo is expected to meet with political leaders and elders in Bayelsa State as well as traditional rulers and residents of coastal communities in the area.

THISDAY learnt that the acting president is also billed to hold an open interactive stakeholders’ session at the Diepreye Alamieyeseigha Memorial Banquet on his return from Odi community in Kolokuma/Opokuma local council and Ekeremor local government.
In preparation for the event, the Bayelsa State Government said yesterday that it had fully mobilised its people to give the Nigerian leader a rousing welcome.



While advising that the professor of law should be wary of politicians who might want to hijack the visit to make ‘cheap’ political points, the government in a statement by the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Mr. Jonathan Obuebite, urged the acting president to use the opportunity to assess where federal government interventions are needed in the state.

“The Bayelsa State Government is looking forward to receiving Vice President Yemi Osinbajo when he visits the Glory of All Lands as part of his tour to some states in the Niger Delta region,” the statement noted.
It urged residents in the state to “come out en masse to welcome the nation’s number two citizen,” assuring the guest of the hospitality of people of the state.
“We urge him to use the occasion of his visit to experience same for himself,” the government said.

The Bayelsa government called on him to “access critical areas” of the state that need prompt intervention by the federal government, stating that Bayelsa is the epicentre of all the issues, as the home land of the Ijaw ethnic nationality.
“Also, the government wants the visiting VP to resist every attempt by some persons to use his visit to score cheap political points by advancing their selfish interest which is capable of truncating the commencement of a sustained peace process in the Niger Delta,” it noted.

Meanwhile, the Bayelsa State Police Command has urged “well meaning” people of the state to maintain the peace during and after the Acting President’s visit.
“His Excellency, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, the Acting President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, will be visiting Bayelsa State on February 10, 2017.
