A 20-year-old man, Sodiq Sulaimon, yesterday
appeared before an Ikeja High Court for
allegedly procuring abortion for his 15-year-old
lover (names withheld), who died in the process. The defendant is facing a one-count charge of
manslaughter brought against him by Lagos
State Government, for which he pleaded not
guilty. “Sodiq Sulaimon, on or before December 11,
2012, about 4p.m., at 7 Oriokuta Street, Imota,
Ikorodu Lagos, in the Ikeja Judicial Division, did
unlawfully killed girl (names withheld) by
procuring abortion for her,” the charge stated. At the resumed hearing, a witness, Sergeant
Elizabeth Osikanlu, told the presiding judge,
Justice K. A. Jose, that the matter was referred to
her after one Femi Adegboyega came to the
station to report that the defendant impregnated
his niece and gave her drugs to abort a five- month-old pregnancy. According to her, the defendant admitted having
sexual intercourse with the deceased sometime
in October 2012 and giving her two tablets to
prevent pregnancy.

A cross-section of parents, whose children are studying at Kings College, Lagos, has condemned the poor state of the school. Many of them spoken to during the recent visiting day, lamented that the school authority was not taking care of the students, whom they said looked unkempt. In fact, the parents said that despite the huge amount of money they pay, their wards fall sick frequently, as their dormitories are infested with bedbugs, rats, mosquitoes, and many others. Mr. Adeniyi Babatola, a parent, said that he had to complain to the school authority along with other parents at the visiting day on May 30, 2015, when the students complained that water scarcity hit the Federal Government-owned school for five days. He said that during the water scarcity, the students were forced to endure hardship, as they fetched untreated water from well, which they used. Alhaji Haruna Abubarkar, parent, who collaborated, asked: “What will it cost the school authority to fumigate the classrooms and hostels. “The school fees we pay in Kings College as parents are 100 per cent higher than those paid in other such schools; yet they don’t care about the welfare of the students. The leadership of the Parents Teachers Association (PTA) seems to have lost credibility, as it is only interested in collecting all sorts of levies from parents.” Also, another parent, Mrs. Ajayi Tokunbo, according to NAN, complained that her children in the school return home with bushy hairs and bedbugs. She asked: “Do you know we pay for barbing of the children’s hairs and washing and dry-cleaning of their clothes? But the school collects these without taking care of the children.” The parents, who spoke differently, however, appealed to the school authority and the Federal Government to take care of the children and reduce the high school fees and levies paid in the school by the parent

A bomb blast suspected to be from a suicide bomber has occurred in Yola, the capital city of Adamawa state, north east Nigeria. A resident of the town, Salihu Aliyu, told PREMIUM TIMES that the blast happened in front of the Jimeta main market at about 7:45pm. “We just finished observing the Maghrib prayer when we heard a loud blast in the direction of the market,” he said. He said the casualty figure is likely to be high because the explosion occurred as many traders closed their shops, and started rushing home. “You know many traders also come out of the market and display their wares outside the main market to also observe the night market,” he said. “There was even traffic gridlock in the area with many Keke Napep operators jostling for passengers when the bomb exploded.” One witness said at least 10 people were killed and about 30 injured. The police could not be reached immediately. Details later…

The United States will send a
team to Nigeria in the next few
weeks to discuss with the new
government ways to renew
cooperation in the fight against the Islamist militant group Boko
Haram, a senior U.S. diplomat
said on Thursday. Washington has quickly reached
out to new President
Muhammadu Buhari since his
election victory in March and
sent U.S. Secretary of State John
Kerry to his inauguration last week to underscore U.S. interest
in working with his
government. Tensions emerged between the
former government of President
Goodluck Jonathan and the
Obama administration last year
over corruption and human
rights abuses by the Nigerian military in its campaign to crush
Boko Haram. In his inauguration speech,
Buhari vowed to defeat Boko
Haram and called the group,
which pledged allegiance to the
Islamic State in Syria and Iraq in
March, "mindless" and "godless." "With the new government we
are optimistic we can reset the
relationship," U.S. Assistant
Secretary of State for Africa,
Linda Thomas-Greenfield, told a
congressional hearing. "We want to work with him and
have expressed that to him." She said Buhari had committed
both publicly and privately to
"do everything possible to
address the situation in terms of
resources and staff" to tackle
Boko Haram, which launched its insurgency in 2009. U.S. officials have said the
United States could send more
advisers to Nigeria to train its
military and help boost the
economy, the largest in Africa,
through more investment in its oil and gas sector. Thomas-Greenfield said the
United States was encouraged
that Buhari's first trips were to
neighbors Niger and Chad,
which are part of a multi-
national force being set up to fight Boko Haram's insurgency
in the Lake Chad region. Nigeria's Major-General Tukur
Buratai has been appointed to
head the new force, which will
be funded partly by the
international community. "He is someone we have
worked with and someone we
feel will be a positive force on
the multinational task force,"
she said, adding that Buhari was
still studying options to fund a stepped- up effort to tackle
Boko Haram. Analysts say the challenge for
the United States is to work
with Buhari while giving him
time to address problems in the
Nigerian military. A report by rights group
Amnesty International this
week reinforced U.S. concerns
over human rights abuses by
Nigerian security forces. In a 133-page report issued on
Wednesday, Amnesty said more
than 8,000 people died while
being held prisoner by the army
in the campaign against Boko
Haram, many of them murdered, starved or tortured. Amnesty said many of the
prisoners, including boys as
young as nine years old, were
rounded up in Boko Haram
strongholds and shot dead
while inside detention facilities.

Nigeria still retains its seat as the President
of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting
Countries (OPEC), a competent official of the
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)
said on Thursday in Abuja. The official, who preferred anonymity, said the exit
of the former Minister Petroleum Resources, Mrs
Diezani Alison-Madueke, had nothing to do with
the status of Nigeria as the President of the
organisation. The official said the position would be filled after
the appointment of a new Minister of Petroleum by
the president. The official said the former minister was elected at
the 166th General Meeting of the OPEC, not in her
own capacity but to represent Nigeria. Alison-Madueke was elected the president of the
international oil body on Nov. 27, 2014 but started
to function in the office in January 2015. The president of OPEC, according to the official, is
expected to serve for a period of one year and to
preside over the meetings of the conference in the
course of that presidency. OPEC, the source says, has Alternate President who
exercises the responsibilities of the President
during an absence, or when the incumbent s
unable to carry out the responsibilities.

International women's teams will feature in
football video game Fifa 2016 for the first time
in its history. England captain Steph Houghton and her team-
mates have been included with 11 other women's
sides for play in one of several game modes. Until now only men's teams have featured on the
popular EA Sports game which was first released in
1993. "To be one of the first female players included is
something we'll always be able to look back on,"
said Houghton. "Hopefully it will help raise the profile of the
women's game even further," added the 27-year-
old Manchester City defender. The women's teams on Fifa 16 Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, England, France,
Germany, Italy, Mexico, Spain, Sweden, and the
United States of America Houghton will lead her country to the summer
World Cup, beginning on 6 June in Canada, with
England to meet Colombia, France and Mexico in
their group. But will Fifa-16 designers give the England players
the skills in a virtual reality setting that they
showcase in real life? Will Houghton be rated as a
good technically on a computer game as she
hopes? "Quite a few of us in the team play Fifa so I'm sure
there will be a bit of banter about our ratings. I'm
looking forward to scoring as myself for the first
time," she added. Fifa 16 designers used American striker Abby
Wambach - the top international goalscorer of all
time with 170, according to her national team's
website - to record the typical movements of a
female footballer and players have been head
scanned in order to create a lifelike look ahead of the September release. The England players were scanned at St George's
Park in February. Eniola Aluko told BBC Sport: "I think it shows where
the [women's] game's going in terms of how fans
can engage with us in a game. It's really cool
although it's a bit weird to do all pictures and facial
expressions but it will be nice to see how it will all
turn out. "My little brother will be very excited to play me on
Fifa. He'll find it fascinating. I'm excited to see his
reaction." "Bringing some of the best women's players and
teams in the world to our franchise is a massive
event for EA Sports," said David Rutter, vice
president and general manager of EA Sports.

Muhammadu Buhari is sworn in as Nigeria’s next president on Friday but he has a daunting to-do list after promising wholesale change during elections two months ago. Here are four key areas, otherwise termed enermies of his successful administration he will have to tackle when he takes office: –


Corruption – Buhari, 72, has said the corrupt and corruption will have no place in his administration, sparking fears of a wide-ranging crackdown similar to his previous time as military ruler in the 1980s. But he has pledged outgoing President Goodluck Jonathan has “nothing to fear” and there will be no witch-hunt against the former administration. Some areas are likely to be too big to ignore, however, such as the running of the opaque, state- run oil firm, which is seen as riddled with corruption. Analysts predict Buhari will beef up existing anti-corruption agencies, while he has personally promised to declare his assets and liabilities for greater transparency and accountability. Buhari’s All Progressives Congress (APC) estimates it could save three trillion naira ($15 billion, 13 billion euros) by streamlining government and plugging “leakages” in the system.

– Security – Jonathan’s administration will be remembered for the rise of Boko Haram Islamists, who left least 15,000 people dead and more than 1.5 million homeless in a six-year campaign of violence. Boko Haram is currently seen as on the run but security experts say the war is far from over, with sporadic attacks continuing and the likelihood the rebels could regroup in border regions. Former army general Buhari has recognised the need for top-down reform to boost poor morale and end graft that hit military procurement, leaving troops ill-equipped to fight. But restructuring also needs to go hand-in-hand with social and economic programmes to tackle the root causes of the insurgency, namely lack of development and unemployment in the Muslim north. Buhari has indicated he will maintain regional cooperation with Chad, Niger and Cameroon but he faces potential trouble on another front from former militants in the oil-producing southern Delta.
Rebels wanting a fairer share of oil wealth have threatened to resume their activities against energy facilities in the region if a government amnesty programme is not extended beyond this year.

– Unemployment – Nearly two-thirds of Nigeria’s population of more than 170 million is under 30. But unemployment is currently nudging 30 percent, despite strong overall rates of economic growth in recent years. Outgoing Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala in 2013 recognised the benefits of growth needed to be shared more equitably. The APC says some 110 million people still live in poverty. Buhari’s administration has pledged to embark on a massive programme of industrialisation, including building railways, improving roads and ports, and improving crumbling infrastructure. But those programmes could be hamstrung immediately by lack of funds, with Nigeria hit hard by the slump in the global price of oil, on which it depends for 90 percent of foreign income. Observers say diversifying the economy is a must, as is educational reform to improve skills. Some 10.5 million Nigerian children are currently out of school — the most in the world.

– Energy – Last Friday, the government said Nigeria was producing just 1,327 megawatts of electricity — an all-time low and down even on Buhari’s last time in power in 1983-85. Reversing the country’s crippling power deficit is seen as key to driving economic growth but has evaded successive governments because of mismanagement, incompetence and vested interests. Buhari is expected to decentralise, deregulate and privatise the transmission sector, opening it up to competition. The APC has reportedly promised to triple generation to 12,000 MW by 2019. He will also have to address the oil and gas sector and controversial subsidies paid to fuel importers who bring in petroleum products because of a lack of functioning refineries. The government’s alleged non-payment of arrears saw fuel supply lines shut down in recent weeks, causing a crippling shortage that brought Nigeria to a near standstill.
