For stealing a N50,000 Sony Ericsson phone belonging to Governor Rauf Aregbesola, a 31-year-old Kelvin Ighodalo has been sentenced to 45-year imprisonment by an Osogbo High Court.

Ighodalo stole the phone from the pocket of Aregbesola on November 27, 2010, when the governor was being inaugurated at Government Technical College, Osogbo.

Justice Oyejide Falola, who heard the case, found Ighodalo guilty on six counts, which included conspiracy, stealing and fraud.

He was sentenced to 10-year imprisonment for the first three counts and five years for each of the last three which included impersonation, obtaining property by falsehood and collusion.

Falola, who ruled that Ighodalo deserved the jail term, held that the convict used the phone to obtain N500, 000 from the Owa of Ilesa, Oba Adekunle Aromolaran, while he obtained N200, 000 from Mr Shengen Rahman, an associate of the governor.

The jail term, which Falola pronounced will run concurrently, means that Ighodalo will spend the next 10 years behind bars.

Assistant principal state counsel, Mr Biodun Badiora, told the court that the convict had served six-year imprisonment in Ikoyi prison custody in connection with a murder case in 2005.

Counsel to Ighodalo, Mr. Ameachi Ngwu, prayed the court to commit him to community service, stressing that the convict should not be incarcerated but rather be placed where people could see him as a convict.

Presidency threatens to return 2013 budget to N-Assembly

BY SONI DANIEL, REGIONAL EDITOR, NORTH & HENRY UMORU

ABUJA—After many meetings between the National Assembly and the Presidency on the 2013 budget, there were indications Sunday that the Presidency might throw back the appropriation bill at the legislature.

The Presidency is unhappy with the final packaging of the budget, which saw an inexplicable ‘padding’ of N63 billion by the lawmakers and zero allocation to the Securities and Exchange Commission, SEC, over irreconcilable differences with its Director General, Arunma Oteh.

Jonathan had sent a proposal of N4.92 trillion to the National Assembly in October 2012 but when the lawmakers passed the budget in December 20, 2012, they jerked up the figure to N4.987 trillion.

They are insisting that Jonathan must first sack Oteh in line with their resolution before any amount is appropriated for the commission.

But Jonathan, who is reported to be in support of the embattled DG, is not in the mood to wield the big stick against her.

Another sour point, which has reportedly irked President Jonathan and drawn his signature away from the document, is the controversy over oil benchmark, which the Presidency pegged at $75 per barrel in his submission to the National Assembly.

However, before agreeing to pass the bill, the lawmakers fixed the benchmark at $79 per barrel, saying that the bright oil outlook had made it possible for the benchmark to be reviewed upwards.

$75 per barrel oil benchmark
The Presidency, it was reliably gathered, had in the several meetings with the legislature drawn its attention to the three vexatious issues and asked them to rework the budget for him to sign.

The President is said to have asked the lawmakers to revert the oil benchmark to his original submission of $75 per barrel, approve a commensurate budget for SEC and remove the additional N63 billion inserted by them into the budget before he appends his signature to the document.

However, it was gathered that the lawmakers are also unwilling to shift their grounds on any of the three contentious items.

Arising from the stalemate, the President has refused to assent to the bill, over a month after the lawmakers had passed it into law and dispatched the document to the Villa.

But the Special Adviser to the President on National Assembly Matters, Senator Joy Emordi, said she was neither aware of any budget row nor threat by the Presidency to return the budget to the National Assembly.

Emordi did not, however, say why the President had withheld his assent to the appropriation bill almost two months after the passage by the lawmakers.

I’m not aware of budget row — Emodi
The lawmakers unanimously passed the bill on December 20, 2012 and had given hope to Nigerians that for the first time in many years, Nigeria would begin to run a budget from the first day of the New Year.

However, the rowt between the lawmakers and the executive arm of government is gradually taking the nation back to its familiar path of budget delay and poor implementation.

The Presidency had denied the receipt of the document from the National Assembly but when the lawmakers showed evidence that they had since sent it to the President, his officials were forced to admit that he was studying the budget

Vanguard learnt that some lawmakers were already mobilising to see how they could pass the 2013 budget as an Act of the Parliament in the event that the President returns the bill to the National Assembly without signing it as stipulated by law.

The law stipulates that a bill, which has been denied presidential assent after 30 days, may be passed as an act of the parliament by two thirds majority of the National Assembly.

One lawmaker, who spoke to Vanguard in confidence, said the lawmakers were ready to challenge the presidency by passing the bill as an Act, if it is returned to the National Assembly.

Another lawmaker pointed out that the days when the President took them for granted were over, as they were now more united to work for the interest of Nigerians.

The lawmakers, it was gathered, were confident they would win the budget war against the Presidency given the rancour between PDP governors and the Presidency and the growing unity among members of the National Assembly .

In 2000, the National Assembly passed the Niger Delta Development Commission Act by two thirds majority after President Olusegun Obasanjo declined assent to the bill following major differences in the law.

El-Rufai: Electricity Tariff Needs to Go Up 400%

By Patrick Ugeh

Former Director-General of Bureau of Public Enterprise (BPE) and former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, has said for the country to be able to attract investors into the power sector, electricity tariffs need to go up by between 300 and 400 per cent.

El-Rufai said for the country to move forward in the provision of electricity to its populace, the National Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) must do that which was needful by having the courage to increase the tariff irrespective of how politically incorrect it might be.

According to him, this was imperative because even if all of the oil revenues in the country were ploughed into the power sector alone, it would not be sufficient to provide its needs of that sector.

He said the only alternative was to attract foreign direct investment, which would not come unless the tariff was eye-catching enough to entice them.

El-Rufai, who spoke at the first Distinguished Visitors’ Programme organised by NERC in Abuja Thursday, also said the power sector was capable of fetching 10 times the $200 billion realised so far from the telecommunications sector and the $2 billion it realised from licensing.

The first Distinguished Visitors’ Programme had as its theme, “Electricity on Demand.”
“Your success will lay the foundation for electricity in this country,” el-Rufai told NERC. “If you get it right, electricity will be the next big thing in Nigeria.”

He lamented that the electricity situation in Nigeria was worse now than it was in 1999, and noted that the way the Chairman of the regulatory body, Dr. Sam Amadi, handled it would determine the future of the country.
The former minister of the FCT, however, stated that no foreign investor would come to the country unless the issue of insecurity in the country was addressed.

“Right now, nobody will come because the perception outside is that Nigeria is a land of killings, a land of kidnappings,” he said. “Security must be provided. We must make this country safer.”

Cautioning that the Nigerian public service had a way of trying to make the officials not to perform, el-Rufai counselled the NERC helmsman to see that the work got done as doing so was far more important than any other consideration.

He advised him to identify directors within his organisation that were not ready for change and fire them, even if it meant getting the law amended, and reward those that were ready to move with the tide of change.

He asked Amadi to draw inspiration from his unilateral abolition of the Ministry of the FCT by convincing then-President Olusegun Obasanjo that it was an encumbrance, adding that what was essential was for the principal to believe in him.

El-Rufai noted that to have the needed courage to do that which is right, the chief executives of public institutions like NERC should have something to fall back on, pointing out that he was able to have his way with Obasanjo because the former president knew that he could quit the job at any moment.

He said the former leader knew that it would have been more dangerous for him to leave in controversial circumstances as he would then have gone public with much unsavoury information.

“Those in charge knew we didn’t need the job, hence the leaders couldn’t dispose of us easily,” he said. “They treat people badly when they know you have nowhere else to go. I didn’t care who I hurt in the process of enforcing the Abuja master plan. You must be in a position where you can say I will walk away.”

However, Amadi appeared to differ from el-Rufai’s approach to tariff increase as he explained that there was need to build legitimacy for the process through enlightenment.

He lamented the “tragedy in Africa that we don't bring leaders back to reflect on their experiences. So they litter the landscape”.
Amadi stressed the need not to discard “our best”, which he said informed the decision to get el-Rufai to speak on the topic, “Leadership and Change Management.”

This is great news! That the money has not been stolen, but has simply not been spent! Haba! That means it can be spent next year when the project plans are better in place. NASS simply need the budget implemented quick quick so they can share the contracts among themselves. Stop kidding yourselves!

Almost 10 months after the conclusion of local government election in Lagos State, tribunals set up to hear petitions arising from the poll are still sitting.

The local government election petitions’ tribunals which are empowered by law to sit for only 180 days appear not to have made appreciable progress.

When THISDAY visited one of the tribunals sitting at Tafawa Balewa Square on Lagos Island at the weekend, it found that sitting on that day was adjourned to August 1, following a fresh application for change of counsel by a respondent in the petition filed by Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Otunba Busari Akande, against the declaration of Mr. Augustine Arogundade of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) as winner of the October 22, 2011 poll in Agbado/Oke Odo Local Council Development Area.

At the sitting, Mr. Kunle Adegoke, the new counsel for Arogundade, had filed fresh application for change of counsel on behalf of the first respondent with a view to having separate counsel for the first, second (ACN) and third respondents (State Independent Electoral Commission).

Hitherto, one Mr. C.O. Adeyemi had appeared for all the respondents.

However, lead counsel to the petitioners, Otunba Kunle Kaleijaye, opposed the application and consequently, sitting that day was adjouned to August 1, after Kaleijaye requested from the presiding judge, Justice F.A. Owobiyi, more time to reply to the application.

Adegoke said he did not expect any opposition to the application since it is “a harmless litigation.” Given the events that day, nothing gave any hint in sight as regards the likely conclusion of the case very soon.

@fnk, yes most of the food ingredient can be sourced locally from food market (Alaba rago in Ojo LGA, Mile 12 MARKET) and from industrial producers of noodles.

Broiler Chicken Feed
Things You’ll Need:
• 250 pounds cracked corn
• 150 pounds ground roasted soybeans
• 25 pounds rolled oats
• 25 pounds alfalfa meal
• 25 pounds fish or bone meal
• 10lbs aragonite (calcium powder)
• 15 pounds poultry nutri-balancer
• Large container big enough to hold 500 pounds dry mix
• Small shovel for mixing
Step 1
You should measure all your ingredients ahead of time. Measure out the amount needed of each grain and set aside. Get your container ready. It’s not necessary but it is a good idea if your container or tub has a lid to protect from mice.
Step 2
Start by pouring your corn and soybeans into your tub. With your hands mix them together well. There should be close to a 50/50 mix when you scoop a handful out.
Step 3
Next, mix your oats, alfalfa, and fish meal into your base mix. This is where you might need your small shovel to reach the bottom of the container.
Step 4
Finally mix in your aragonite and poultry nutri-balancer. Continue to mix until all ingredients are mixed evenly throughout.
Step 5
Feed this mix in place of your regular chicken feed. Feed at the rate of 3 pounds for every five birds per day
Julia, I hope this has been of some help.
Best of luck with your chickens.
