The President of the Jege Development Association (JDA), Oluọmọ JD Akọgun, has showered glowing commendations on Chief Mrs Ẹbun Joel (JP), celebrating her as a source of pride to her family, community, and all beneficiaries of her leadership and initiatives.

In a congratulatory message issued to mark the end of her tenure, the JDA President described Chief Mrs Joel as an exceptional wife, mother, sister, community leader, and the President and Initiator of SEYDAW, whose achievements over the last six years remain outstanding and verifiable.

According to him, her End of Tenure Report clearly demonstrates how a brand-new concept was taken from scratch to an enviable and impactful position within a remarkably short period, a feat he noted many would have considered impossible.

He stated that the Joel Akọgun family of Okepo, Jege, Okeoyi (SEY), Yagba, Okun land, Kogi State, as well as countless women and men of goodwill whose lives she has touched, remain deeply grateful and proud of her selfless service.

The JDA President further emphasized that Chief Mrs Joel’s years of service were marked by integrity, noting the absence of any financial, moral, inter- or intra-community scandal, describing her tenure as one driven purely by love, sacrifice, and phenomenal all-round performance.

He also acknowledged the immense support and sacrifices of her husband, Chief Sunday Joel, her immediate family, and the wider community, stating that their commitment was made worthwhile by her impactful leadership.

While congratulating the outgoing executive committee for their collective achievements, he equally welcomed the new executive leadership, describing the new team as formidable and expressing confidence in their capacity to deliver meaningful progress.

The statement concluded with a heartfelt expression of pride and appreciation, as the JDA President reaffirmed that Jege community remains immensely proud of Chief Mrs Ẹbun Joel (JP) and her legacy of service.

The Implications of the Federal High Court Judgement Stopping CBN from Remitting Monthly Allocations to Rivers State

30-10-2024

As a keen observer and advocate of developmental politics, I am compelled to reflect over the recent Federal High Court judgement halting the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) from remitting monthly allocations to Rivers State. This decision has far-reaching implications that could plunge the region back into turmoil, and it is the people whom I call the grass who will inevitably suffer the consequences.

Political events in Rivers State have taken a troubling turn, reminiscent of the volatile years of militancy in the Niger Delta. During my visits to Port Harcourt, the state capital, I witnessed firsthand the pervasive atmosphere of insecurity. Navigating the city involved passing through multiple checkpoints, enduring thorough searches, and often trekking long distances as transporters avoided certain areas out of fear for their safety. The sight of nearly 200 helicopters taking off and landing daily was a stark reminder of the insecurity that plagued the region, as expatriates preferred aerial travel over the risk of kidnappings on the streets below.

The sacrifices made by security agencies during those tumultuous years cannot be overstated. Countless lives were lost defending oil facilities and personnel from the clutches of militant groups. To this day, the Nigerian government spends billions securing pipelines in the Niger Delta, a cost that underscores the region's importance to the national economy. The Federal Government must not forget these sacrifices or the historical context that shapes the current political landscape.

Let us not overlook the substantial investments made in the presidential amnesty programme, which aimed to rehabilitate and reintegrate repentant militants. The resources allocated for training, feeding, and caring for these individuals were significant, as were the billions spent on disarming them. The consequences of neglecting the needs and aspirations of the Niger Delta were clear: a nosedive in national revenue and a resurgence of violence disguised as a fight for freedom.

It is imperative that the Federal Government prioritises the peace of the region over the interests of any individual, no matter their political clout. The administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu must exercise caution to ensure that the actions of a few do not jeopardise the stability of a region that has long been a cornerstone of Nigeria's economy. The world is watching as we strive to fulfil our role as a leading nation in Africa, and we cannot afford to allow selfish interests to overshadow the collective good.

The people of Rivers State have no alternative chief executive; we are bound by the same constitution that governs our nation. When the youth, who work in various ministries and parastatals, contemplate a future where their salaries are uncertain, we risk igniting a sense of restiveness that could further destabilise the region. The potential for unrest is a reality we must confront, and it is in the hands of the President to act decisively.

Moreover, the judiciary's actions must be scrutinised. Allegations of the procurement of dubious court judgements and injunctions pose a grave threat to our democracy. This trend is a pathway to chaos that we cannot afford to traverse. The President must think critically and act constitutionally to restore order and uphold the rule of law.

As we reflect on these challenges, I am reminded of the words of Martin Luther King Jr.: "Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal." In this light, it is crucial that we pursue peace through dialogue and understanding rather than allowing conflict to dictate our future.

conclusively, I urge the Federal Government to consider the broader implications of its decisions on Rivers State and the Niger Delta as a whole. The stakes are high, and the consequences of inaction could be dire. Let us remember that "peace is cheaper than war," and it is our collective responsibility to ensure that we do not allow history to repeat itself.
