The minister of finance, Kemi Adeosun has made it clear to workers of her ministry who went on peaceful protest Monday morning that she can’t pay them the N1.2 Billion they demanded. She said that N1.2 billion as computed by the staff union for payment could not have been budgeted for in 2016 in the first place because of the paucity of funds. A statement by the Director Information, Salisu Na’Inna Dambatta quoted Adeosun as saying that she could not pay the allowance because it is not part of the remuneration in the Federal Public Service. “The payment of what the protesting staff called a Special Overtime (SOT), was stopped by the last administration in 2014 on the ground that it was not listed in any extant government Circular, Financial Regulations or the Public Service Rules. “The Federal Ministry of Finance, the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation and the Budget Office of the Ministry of Budget and National Planning, do not individually or collectively, owe any of their personnel their salaries. In view of the foregone, the Management of the Federal Ministry of Finance wishes to categorically state that the protests have no justifiable grounds.” The statement confirmed that the protest was carried out jointly by some staff of the Federal Ministry of Finance, Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation and the Budget Office of the Ministry of Budget and National Planning, “to back a demand for the payment of an unofficial allowance totaling N1.2 billion.” [myad]
Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, on Monday emerged the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the September 10 governorship election in Edo.
In the result of the primaries announced by Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi state, Chairman of the committee that conducted the exercise, Ize-Iyamu polled 584 votes to defeat two other aspirants.
His closest opponent, Mathew Uduoeyekemwen, according to Umahi, scored 91 votes while Solomon Edebiri polled 38 votes.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Ize-Iyamu was Secretary to the State Government during former governor of the state, Lucky Igbinedion’s administration of 1999 to 2007.
He was South-South leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) before defecting to the PDP in 2014.
Umahi said that 713 delegates were accredited for the primaries from a total delegates’ list of 751, adding that there were no invalid votes.
Presenting Ize-Iyamu to the party members, primaries committee chairman thanked all PDP governors and members for their support which led to the success of the exercise.
In his acceptance speech, Ize-Iyamu commended the national leadership of the party and the electoral committee for transparency and fairness in the process.
He said that the fight to reclaim Edo would continue until the party produced the governor in the September election.
Before the collation of results, the three aspirants said that they were satisfied with the process, describing it as transparent, free and fair.
This is coming after Godwin Obaseki, the Chairman of the Economic Team of the state, won the All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries in the early hours of Sunday June 19th. [myad]
The Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, has cried out that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has frozen his personal account with Zenith Bank Plc. Fayose who spoke on Monday in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, said that when he wanted to operate the account personally, he was denied by the bank. He told newsmen that officials of the Bank told him that an embargo has been placed on his account. Fayose had been having a running battle with the EFCC over the funding of his governorship campaign in 2014. There had been accusations that the campaign was funded with funds from the Office of the National Security Adviser.
Fayose had denied this, saying his campaign funds were generated from the ordinary people who wanted him in power. When contacted, the spokesman of the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, said he was not aware of that the governor’s account had been frozen. [myad]
For some Nigerians, going abroad, even to a country with low fortune, fame and status, is the ultimate. By now, hundreds, if not thousands, of Nigerians are either booking their flights or are already abroad for what they often see and cherish as summer holidays. Yes, it’s another summer, and the rush from here is overwhelming!
Nigerians travel out of their country for many reasons. Some, especially the elite, prefer going abroad for medical check. They prefer to take all that risk to treat even common cold, cough and catarrh! They gleefully label it as medical tourism. For others, going overseas is a yearly ritual that affords them the opportunity to re-unite with friends, families and business associates. And there is this critical mass that jet out, almost on a daily basis, sinking millions to seek greener pastures or the Golden Fleece as they call it. In all, those who make peremptory trips outside the country often do so with pains and great discomfort. They do so in most cases while “suffering and smiling”, as the legendary Fela Anikulapo-Kuti sang in one of his chartbusters.
In the course of my public service and journalistic odyssey, I have garnered long years of experiences and chalked hundreds of thousands of kilometres crisscrossing the world. Some of those experiences have prodded me to share a little on the inconveniences, sometimes mind-numbing risks that many Nigerian travellers, go through just to have some summer freaks. While the youth see long haul flights as adventurous, the attendant stress and pains always have a telling effect on the old; senior citizens. They often experience unusually prolonged jet-lag, have swollen feet, experience some numbness in their limbs and joints, not to talk of the deafening effect of planes on their ears.
It is to our senior citizens I want to offer this advice. I need to givesome useful tips for the elderly who may seem addicted to the longhaul flights. First, it is not advisable to travel alone. If you can afford it, you need the company of your spouse or any of your children. Second, medical science has established that long haul trips can aggravate arthritis or thrombosis. In that case, sufferers are always advised to be well equipped with flight socks. The socks, which are often sold at duty free shops at most international airports, are clinically packaged to improve blood circulation. They are prepared to make travellers endure long hours on the plane, ultimately making users feel light and relieved of joints pains.
Third, aged travellers must adequately fortify themselves with correct medication well ahead of an impending trip. The use of multivitamins, especially vitamin C, helps to boost body immunity against flu. This is necessary in case you are seated with someonenursing flu, cough or exhibiting symptoms of other contagious conditions. Every traveller must be aware that the toilets in every plane breed dangerous bacteria. So, when using toilets, either onboard or in transit, you are strongly advised to use hand soap and sanitisers.
Tip number four is that every traveller of age must avoid concentrating attention on watching movies or engaging in long hours of sleep onboard. It is imperative that at intervals, you must stretch your legs and body either by standing, or walking round the cabin, or engaging in mild body exercises. Travellers who stay glued to their seats are prone to stroke or deadly thrombosis.
Travelers should be mindful that a well-planned journey makes your trip less stressful. Ahead of flying over 24 hours with stops, or 15 to 16 hours non-stop, purchase ticket which include hotel accommodation, most especially where a stop-over takes over six hours before connecting the next flight. I have seen some aged persons falling sick or collapse at transit lounges during long journeys. Most international airports have good hotel accommodations for sound rest and you must avail yourself of the facility.
The next tip concerns the point where travellers face immigration clearance. Once you are armed with relevant documents, your clearance is guaranteed. Hard times await those without valid documents at entry points. If you find yourself in a situation where you have to be delayed, you need to ensure that your medication is in place. An asthmatic patient who suffers sudden attack may find it difficult to survive when exposed to stress at the immigration counters.
Travelling long hours in a plane is energy sapping. It always results in jet lag which often times takes up to two to three days to shake off. The case is worse for anyone who might have contracted flu or suffers from the usual summer allergies that often induce cold, coughing, sneezing and blood shot eyes. In some cases, and from personal experiences, the allergies could take about two weeks before full recovery. The body will now battle with differences in time zones and climate change. While the sun is receding in the United States, for instance, we are moving towards dawn in Nigeria. Presently, in Europe and far Eastern countries, they are witnessing heavy rainfalls and severe flooding. America is currently contending with high or humid temperature, which often requires the use of cooling devices.
Perhaps, the only reward meant for Nigerians who travel out is their dream to better security, good infrastructure and facilities. For them, leaving Nigeria is a temporary good escape from the harsh realities that they have been battling with for years. At least, they will be relieved of the sneers of armed robbery, kidnapping, killings and bombings by Boko Haram and now, Niger Delta Avengers, police brutality, fuel scarcity, ‘NEPA’ failures, hike in prices of essential commodities, poor medical facilities and others.
Travelling abroad for vacation may not be a bad idea but it can get scary when one discovers that time is an impatient customer. It flies so fast. For instance, four weeks of stay usually runs so fast you think you have just spent few days. In that regard, the thought of returning to inclement situations at home brings some pangs of heaviness or sadness. This is the crux of the matter. It is time for the government to start building solid infrastructures and facilities that would make Nigeria a beauty to behold and a place of allurement to seducecitizens to remain at home.
Government officials who travel out too often should be alive to their responsibility by returning home to replicate the good things they see abroad in their country. Nigeria is great. The country is imbued with natural and human resources which, if effectively managed, could turn Nigeria into an El-dorado. Perhaps, both the government and the governed can, indeed, latch onto this era of ‘Change’ in making acollective resolve to begin laying solid foundations for the revival, re-invention and re-orientation of Nigeria. Doing so will make the country a destination of choice for people from across the globe. After all HOME IS HOME.

Workers in the Federal Ministry of Finance, on Monday staged a peaceful protest at the ministry’s headquarters in Abuja, demanding the removal of the Minister, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun.
The workers accused Adeosun of not paying their allowances to the tune of N1.2 billion even when she has collected N30 million as annual house rent.
They displayed placards with various inscriptions, which indicated that the minister has become an agent of negative change.
Inscriptions on some of the placards read: “Kemi Adeosun must go,” “You are destroying Federal Ministry of fiancé,” “Inflation is 15% courtesy of Adeosun,” “PMB agent of positive change, Adeosun agent of negative change” “Adeosun score card is zero.” [myad]
The Senate has sounded a warning that any attempt to freshen up another charge against Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki and other Senators will threaten the democracy currently being practiced in Nigeria.
Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi, in a statement in Abuja, emphasized that the plan to prefer fresh charges against Senate President Bukola Saraki and others will endanger Nigeria’s democracy.
“We are compelled to alert the good people of Nigeria and the international community, that our democracy is in danger and that the attempt by the Executive Arm of the Federal Government to muzzle the legislature and criminalise legislative processes in order to cause leadership change in the National Assembly is a return to the era of impunity and lack of respect for due process which we all fought to abolish.”
The statement, seen as a warning to the Presidency from the Senate, said:“We must make it clear here to the individuals in the Executive arm and party leadership behind these plots not to mistake the maturity and hand of co-operation being extended to the Presidency by the legislature as a sign of weakness. The National Assembly bent backwards to accommodate various infractions and inefficiencies in pursuit of inter-arms co-operation and national interest.
“We did not follow up the various infractions because we believe there are bigger issues which the government has to attend to in order to ensure that every Nigerian have food on his table and live confortably in a secure environment. We know that the country is actually in a state of economic emergency and all hands must be on deck.”
Senator Abdullahi noted that forgery case will be the second major battle for Saraki to contend with.He is presently under trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal over alleged failure to declare his assets properly while serving as governor of Kwara State.Saraki said the CCT trial is a politically motivated case borne out of his emergence as Senate President against the wishes of some party chieftains.
Below is the full text of the Senate’s Statement:
Forgery Case, An Unconstitutional Violation of Principles of Separation of Powers, Checks and Balances.
After reading in the national newspapers and online platforms of the planned charges of forgery and conspiracy preferred against the Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, his Deputy, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, immediate past Clerk of the National Assembly, Alhaji Salisu Maikasuwa and the Clerk of the Senate, Mr. Ben Efeturi and reviewing the circumstances leading to the filing of these charges, we are compelled to alert the good people of Nigeria and the international community, that our democracy is in danger and that the attempt by the Executive Arm of the Federal Government to muzzle the legislature and criminalise legislative processes in order to cause leadership change in the National Assembly is a return to the era of impunity and lack of respect for due process which we all fought to abolish.
We urge President Muhammadu Buhari to please call his Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami, to order. The Senate of the Federal Republic voted freely to elect its leadership into office and continuing attempts to change that leadership through the wanton abuse of judicial processes cannot stand in the eyes of the world. It is clear that the Attorney General and party leaders behind this action either lack the understanding of the underlining principles of constitutional democracy, the concept of Separation of Powers, checks and balances and parliamentary convention or they just simply do not care if the present democracy in the country survives or collapses in their blinded determination to get Saraki and Ekweremadu by all means necessary, including abuse of office and sacking the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The Nigerian people have enough economic hardship at this time requiring the full attention and cooperation of the three arms of government, instead of these attempts to distract and politicise governance. We are in a state of economic emergency such that what the National Assembly needs at this time are executive bills and proposals aimed at resolving the crises of unemployment, currency depreciation, inflation, crime and insecurity. What the National Assembly needs now are executive bills to build and strengthen institutions to earn revenues, fight corruption and eliminate waste. Instead, we are getting hostile actions aimed at destabilising the National Assembly, distracting Senators from their oversight functions and ensuring good and accountable governance.
We must make it clear here to the individuals in the Executive arm and party leadership behind these plots not to mistake the maturity and hand of co-operation being extended to the Presidency by the legislature as a sign of weakness. The National Assembly bent backwards to accommodate various infractions and inefficiencies in pursuit of inter-arms co-operation and national interest. We did not follow up the various infractions because we believe there are bigger issues which the government has to attend to in order to ensure that every Nigerian have food on his table and live confortably in a secure environment. We know that the country is actually in a state of economic emergency and all hands must be on deck.
This latest plot is directed at forcing a change of leadership in the Senate or, in the extreme case, ground the Red Chamber of the National Assembly. Or how do one interpret a move in which the two presiding officers are being set up to be remanded in Kuje Prison or incapacitated from sitting at plenary through a day-to-day trial on a matter that is purely an internal affair of the Senate.
This obviously is a dangerous case of violation of the independence of the legislature, undue and unnecessary interference in the internal affairs of the Senate and blatant abuse of the judicial process. The matter now being criminalised was brought to the plenary of the Senate in session, over a year ago. And because it had no support, it was overruled and roundly defeated in chambers. To now take a matter that was resolved on the floor of the Senate to the police and then make it form the subject of a criminal prosecution of freely elected legislators beats all imagination of free thinking men all over the world. The implication is that any matter that fails on the floor of the National Assembly will now be taken to the Police, thereby endangering every Senator and House member. This current move clearly runs contrary to the Doctrine of Separation of Powers and Checks and Balances which are fundamental to the successful operation of the Presidential System of government. It runs counter to the principle outlined by the Supreme Court in the Adesanya Vs Senate case where it was held that nobody should seek to use the courts to achieve what he or she has failed to push through on the floor of the National Assembly.

The Nigeria Senate and the executive arm of the government are set to clash over the recent terms of agreement between the Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC) and MTN which reduced the fine imposed on MTN by NCC for operational misconducts last year from N780 billion to N330 billion.
The Senate Committee, determined to make sure that MTN pays the original amount, has summoned the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami; Minister of Communications, Adebayo Shittu; Executive Vice Chairman of NCC, Professor Umar Dambatta; Accountant-General of the Federation, Ahmed Idris, Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of MTN and the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr. Godwin Emefiele, to appear before the committee on June 23 to explain the rationale behind the deal.
NCC had imposed a fine of N1.04 trillion on MTN over its decision to keep over 5 million unregistered subscribers in its network last year in violation of NCC Act. However, after sustained pressure from MTN and external forces, NCC reduced the fine to N780 billion before finally reviewing it downward to N330 billion last week.
But the committee in its first official reaction to the decision, accused the NCC of short-changing Nigeria in the deal, describing it as a move “that is characterized with suspected criminal tendencies as they were perfected secretly particularly without recourse to due process.”
The committee Chairman, Senator Gilbert Nnaji, in a letter dated June 15, 2016, and separately addressed to all parties to the deal, condemned the manner in which the “settlement agreement of N330 billion was reached with MTN out of a whooping N1.04 trillion.”
An excerpt from the letter read: “As a committee and representatives of the Nigerian people, we are saddened about this development at a time when the Nigerian economy needs all the available capital infusion to bolster it. It is our strong opinion that Nigeria has been shortchanged in this whole process on account of the ridiculous settlement payment plan; coupled with the disparity in the exchange rate regime when the fine was imposed ab initio compared with the current prevailing exchange rate when it was agreed to cut the fine to N330 billion.”
It added that the committee was displeased and disappointed that “NCC could engage in such a negotiation that is tainted with a lot of questionable conclusions without the knowledge of the committee.”
The letter also read in part that: “the committee is worried about this development because it is on record that during our last investigative meeting with all the relevant parties to this matter on March 10, 2016, the committee was informed that the case was still in court and that it was adjourned till March 18.
“The committee was not aware of the outcome of the court case neither was it privy to any active negotiation that led to the fine being reduced to N330 billion. It is our concern that Nigeria has been shortchanged in this whole process on account of the ridiculous settlement payment plan; coupled with the fact that parties involved in the negotiation were either oblivious of the exchange rate value of the naira to the dollar when the sanction was meted originally compared to current exchange rate regime when the value of the naira is now on the downward slide.
“Consequently, you are hereby invited to appear before the committee on June 23, 2016 at 2p.m. prompt in Room 221, Senate New Building, to shed more light on the issues surrounding the settlement. You are requested to furnish the committee with the following information to guide it in its deliberation: document(s) detailing presidential directive to accede that MTN should pay N330 billion to the Nigerian government as contained in paragraph 1 of your letter.”
The committee therefore asked the invited officers to come up with document(s) specifying evidence of negotiation including terms of negotiation; parties to the negotiation; modalities for arriving at N330 billion; minutes of negotiation meeting and other relevant information; relevant section(s) of the NCC Act 2003 which empower NCC to impose fines accompanied with sections empowering the commission to reduce fines; detailed reason(s) for the reduction of the fine from N1.04 trillion to N780 billion and later to N330 billion.
Other items the committee wants them to produce are detailed information on the major role(s) being played by Accountant-General of the Federation in the entire negotiation and settlement process; a copy of the settlement agreement; evidence of participation of the Ministry of Communications and its major inputs at the negotiation meeting and evidence of out-of-court settlement between MTN and the federal government.
It specifically asked “the governor of CBN as the custodian of the CBN Recovery Account into which the initial N50 billion was lodged and as a principal player in the whole process,” to present to the committee, the current position of the recovery account.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Communications, Barrister Adebayo Shittu, has said the reduction of the N1.03trillion fine earlier imposed on MTN to about N300 billion was in the interest of the investment drive agenda of the federal government.
Shittu said that the ‘case is closed’ on the much-talked about issue, stressing that the need to encourage foreign investment in the country remains the main reason for the federal government’s review of the said fine imposed on the company by the NCC.
The minister spoke to journalists in Ibadan at the weekend at the venue of an Achiever’s Award ceremony in honour of Senator Lekan Balogun, the Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland.
For failing to meet the deadline fixed by the NCC to disconnect the subscribers not properly registered, the MTN was fined $1,000 per each of its affected 5.2 million subscribers, totaling $5.2 billion.
But due to pressure from different quarters, the federal government recently agreed to reduce it to N300 billion, which would be paid within the period of three years.
According to Shittu, the Federal Executive Council (FEC) decided to relax the penalty against the telecommunications giant after realising the negative impact the burden could have on the nation, its people and the economy.
“As far as we are concerned, the MTN issue is a closed matter. The FEC has remitted substantial part of the penalty to them. Nigeria as a country must move on. We must not do anything to drive away foreign investors. Foreign investments are potent means of bringing about development and wealth creation.
“Again, we must not forget that before MTN and other telecoms operators came on board, Nigeria had only less than 500,000 telephone lines. Today, because of their involvement, Nigeria now has more than 152 million lines and MTN is the dominant operator in the field. It controls almost 50 per cent of the lines. Though they (MTN) have violated the law and we have put in the necessary penalty, we must put a halt to the limitless crisis so that we don’t discourage foreign investors. That is what the executive has done to ensure we move ahead.
“We know for instance that MTN operates in 22 countries. And that what they make in Nigeria alone is more than what they make in other 21 countries put together,” he said.
Shittu also advised the telecoms operators against taking Nigeria and their customers for granted, warning that all infractions would be appropriately sanctioned.
“The operators owe a duty to Nigerians to continue to improve on their services. Nigerians have been paying through thick and thin to enjoy and patronise them. To whom much is given, much is expected,” the minister submitted. [myad]
President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, and his Deputy, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, have ignored invitation for questioning by the Nigeria police on the alleged forgery of the Senate Rules 2011.
Apart from Saraki and Ekweremadu, others invited were a former Leader of the Senate, Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba; a former Chairman of the Senate Ccommittee on Rules and Business, Senator Ita Enag, who incidentally is the Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on National Assembly Matters (Senate); the Secretary of the Senate Committee on Rules and Business; and the Clerk of the Senate in 7th National Assembly. The letter of invitation, dated June 7, said those invited were expected to appear before the Force Criminal Investigation Department on June 9, 2016. But none of them appeared for the questioning.
The Senate Standing Orders 2015, alleged to be a forged version of the 2011 version, was used for the election that produced Saraki and Ekweremadu shortly after the 8th Senate was proclaimed on June 9, 2015. The police invitation letter reads in full: “I refer to the Deputy Inspector-General of Police’s letter No. CR:3000/X/FHQ/ABJ/VOL. 186/98 dated 1st July, 2015 requesting the under-listed officials of the seventh Senate to report to the Force Criminal Intelligence and Investigation Department for the purpose of conducting investigation on the above subject matter: Senate President, Deputy Senate President, Majority Leader of the Senate, Clerk of the National Assembly, Clerk of the Senate, Chairman, Business and Rules; Secretary, Business and Rules. “As at the time of writing this letter, none of the officials in the above seventh Senate list honoured the invitation to respond to the allegations, except the clerks of the National Assembly and the Senate. “Consequent upon the above, you are kindly requested to inform the listed officials yet to respond to report to the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Force Criminal Intelligence and Investigation Department on 9th June, 2016 for the purpose of further investigation on the matter. “While hoping that you will accord this request the urgent attention it deserves, please accept the warm regards of the Inspector-General of Police.” [myad]
President Muhammad Buhari has challenged anybody who trusts his strength to go into a ring with him for wrestling bouts, promising to floor such person.
The President, who spoke in a joke with news men on his arrival from London on Sunday after spending 14-day during which time doctors examined his aching ear, said he is strong and as fit as fiddle.
This was against the background of the insulation making the round in social media that he was seriously sick and that he went through brain surgery while in London. There were also speculations that he would not come back to Nigeria alive.
Buhari, who inspected a guard of honour mounted by men of the Guards Brigade at the Presidential wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, told reporters who asked him about his health condition: “You have seen me. You saw me when I was going. You can do the assessment yourself.
“I am okay. You can see me inspecting the guard of honour. You can see I am taller than you. Do you want to wrestle with me? You can do so.” [myad]

The minister of finance, Kemi Adeosun has made it clear to workers of her ministry who went on peaceful protest Monday morning that she can’t pay them the N1.2 Billion they demanded.
