Rivers Killings: Wike's Govt. Culpable

Deputy Chairman, Senate Committee on Procurement and representative of Rivers Senatorial District, Mr. Ohanna Andrew Uchendu, has declared that the administration of Mr. Neysom Wike, governor of Rivers State, is culpable in the spate of killings that has rocked the state.

Mr. Uchendu spoke against the background of the 1 January killing of 17 persons in Omoku, Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area, and seven persons in Egbeda,  Emohua Local Government Area, by yet unidentified gunmen on Friday.                                                                             

A statement issued by Mr. Solomon Okocha, his media aide, quoted the senator as saying that it is time for traditional and religious leaders in the state to condemn the raging spate of killings and plead with perpetrators to have a change of heart.

"What has happened in both Omoku and Egbeda is a clear confirmation of what some of us have been saying that the over-hyped state amnesty programme was merely a facade."

"The Wike-led government cannot at one hand wail and condemn the killings of Rivers people by cultists, and in another breath, pretend not to know that it is as a result of the haphazard, not-well-thought-out amnesty programme. My Ikwerre people have a common saying that the hen at all times must follow ant-infested firewood."

"The Wike-led government cannot absolve itself from blame in the incessant killings of harmless and defenceless citizens of Rivers State, until it stoutly rises up to its sole responsibility of protecting lives and properties, and that it can do in this situation, by swiftly nipping cultism in the bud, no matter whose ox is gored. May God help us," he said.

Mr. Uchendu added that the political leadership in the state has woefully failed in coming up with an all-embracing security architecture that would have reduced the bloodletting in the state. As such, he called on religious and traditional leaders to plead with the killers to have a change of heart.

"I am therefore calling on religious and traditional leaders to cry along with Governor Nyesom Wike, who has cried for too long, and possibly, these agents of darkness might heed their wailings and stop the escalating bloodshed in the land," he said.

He advised the Wike administration to halt the raging menace of cultism in the state. He advised individuals or groups in the state with grievances to direct such to the appropriate quarters, instead of resorting to violent self-help.

IYC Demands End To Military Invasion Of Bayelsa Community, Alleges Burning Of 50 Homes

Apex Ijaw youth organisation, Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) worldwide,  has called for an an end to the ongoing military bombardment of Toru-Ndoro Community in Ekeremor Local Government Area of Bayelsa State. The call was made in a statement issued on Sunday by Mr. Eric Omare, IYC President.                         The organisation disclosed that from Saturday to the early hours of Sunday, it received  distress calls from residents and indigenes of Toru-Ndoro, notifying it that military officers on a manhunt for alleged killers of a security operative had invaded the community and burnt more than fifty houses.       
                 

While the IYC condemned the beheading of the security operative by criminals operating in the Ndoro area and expressed support for efforts to bring the perpetrators to justice, it, however, condemned the invasion of the community and burning down of homes in a manner reminiscent of what happened such as Odi in Bayelsa State, Ajapa in Ondo State and Ajakarama in Delta State.                                       

"We demand that the few persons, who are involved in criminality, should be separated from the rest of the community and made to face the full weight of the law.

"We have severally expressed our determination to work with security agencies to fish out these criminals because it is not part of our way of life.

The Federal Government on Tuesday implied that autonomous advertisers may be permitted to offer petroleum over the current directed pump value N145 per liter.

The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, gave the indication in an introduction at an investigative hearing composed by the Senate on the waiting shortage of the item in the nation.

He said the N26 differential between the present pump cost and the arrival cost of the ware was caused by the ascent in the conversion standard.

The priest reviewed that naira was 285 to a dollar when the pump cost was raised to N145 per liter, including that the rate would need to drop to N240 to a dollar for advertisers to have the capacity to offer at the official cost.

Kachikwu expressed that the legislature had come up a 18-month crisis period inside which issues influencing supply and estimating of the item ought to be tackled.

The clergyman said the administration was thinking about three models for the direction of the draw cost of petroleum, one of which is a "plural estimating framework" that would enable free advertisers to either stay with the appropriation chain of the legislature and the official cost, or offer the item in view of the varieties in the importation and landing costs.

The pastor clarified that while the administration could hold the present authority draw cost of N145, advertisers who disapproved of its inventory network could be permitted to import and appropriate the item autonomously.

Kachikwu stated, "We are taking a gander at a 18-month crisis period. Amid this crisis period, we have to address the issue of evaluating. There is value divergence between the arrival cost and the cost of offering. On the off chance that we should offer at N145 (per liter), we have to set up systems so the private segment can backpedal to importation. We now have a board that is taking a gander at this and it will be subjected to survey.

"The arrival cost of the item today is about N170 or N171. The value that we should offer is N145. Thus, there is a difference. This means those people who are getting theirs won't have the capacity to meet their commitments like the NNPC for business supply. We have to advance back."

The Chairman of the Senate advisory group, Senator Kabiru Marafa, who interposed Kachikwu now, said the priest had mixed the hornets' net by the announcement.

He asked, "Would you say you are stating that the N171 is what a normal Nigerian will pay at the filling station or what the advertiser will lift from the stop or the cost of importation?"

Reacting, Kachikwu stated, "Our point is that there is a hole and we have to perceive how we can fill that hole. There are three instruments that we are taking a gander at in managing that hole. Whatever we do, giving the imperatives of the NNPC in taking care of 100 for every penny of the supply, which may turn into a superseding trouble on the partnership, we have to free the advertisers to do their business. To do their business is to address the valuing issue.

"To address the estimating issue, we are taking a gander at three models. When we got to N145, the conversion scale was N285 (to a dollar); today, it is at N305. Indeed, even at the base, there is a hole there. In the event that you stroll to the CBN to check the tweak of the conversion standard to offer at N145, the cost of obtaining it today is about N240; it isn't N285 or N305."

Posting the choices accessible to the administration to keep up the present pump value, the pastor expressed that one of the instruments being considered was to work with the Central Bank of Nigeria to make a forex strategy for advertisers to have the capacity to offer at N145.

Another choice, he stated, was to unwind a portion of the assessments forced on the advertisers in the importation and conveyance chain, consequently decreasing their running expenses.

Kachikwu included, "We are additionally taking a gander at the capability of – going hypothetically to regard the N145 pump cost – having a plural valuing framework. The NNPC and every one of its stations, around 400 the nation over, will offer at N145. In the meantime, advertisers can import the item at their own particular cost and offer. It will now be for the person to remain with NNPC or not. It doesn't influence the Federal Government on what the NNPC is offering."

The pastor brought up that unless the valuing issue was settled, the issues would stay steady.

An individual from the board, Senator Tayo Alasoadura, who is likewise Chairman of the Senate Committee on Petroleum Resources (Upstream), asked Kachikwu how the NNPC had been supporting the pump cost.

"We were informed that the arrival cost is presently high, now at N171. The legislature had gone out with exhibit that appropriation (on petroleum) had been abrogated yet inside a year, we are currently discussing an arrival cost that is high. Did the administration not get its work done appropriately before touching base at N145 per liter?" he said.

Another part, Senator Bassey Akpan, who is the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Petroleum Resources (Gas), likewise inquired as to why the priest was thinking about valuing balance and on the off chance that he had the endorsement of President Muhammadu Buhari to regulate the oil pump cost.

Verifying Alasoadura, expressed, "Now that the NNPC is bringing in at lost about N800m to N900m day by day, we have to see how these misfortunes are being dealt with. You have said you are getting rid of appropriation and the NNPC has said tit imports 25 million on the normal every day at N26 per liter misfortune. We have to accommodate that."

A wind was, be that as it may, recorded in the test when Kachikwu and Baru were going to answer questions postured to them by individuals from the board.

Marafa, who had pledged that the Federal Government must clarify affirmed installment of endowment without the National Assembly's endorsement, asked that they overlook inquiries on appropriation installment.

He stated, "Let me state a certain something: there are questions gotten some information about endowment issues. I don't need us to crash. The embodiment of this sitting isn't on whether there is endowment or no sponsorship.

"Answer the inquiries on appropriation to the extent it influences supply, which caused the fuel shortage. I don't need us to go into issues of appropriation for the present at this gathering. The Committee on Downstream will single out that issue instantly and investigate it comprehensively. Along these lines, questions pestering on who is paying endowment ought to be dropped for this reason. I don't need us to wreck.

"What we need are issues of provisions, where the holes are and why we have this emergency. These are the sign of this issue."

Prior in his introduction, Kachikwu portrayed Nigeria's failure to refine raw petroleum locally as "despicable" subsequent to working a downstream part for more than 40 years, including that the nation could in any case not make oil based commodities adequate for the general population regardless of having raw petroleum.

"As long as possible, at long last, we should address the issues with our refineries. Like I said in the first place, the answer for the issue must be the refineries. What's more, whatever it takes, we have to assemble the refineries. When we do that, we are prepared to go," he expressed.

The Director, Department of Petroleum Resources, Mr. Mordecai Ladan, expressed that the NNPC did not have the ability to be the sole merchant and wholesaler of oil.

"The circumstance is making strides. The NNPC is giving a valiant effort. For the present, the NNPC is the sole merchant and nearly the sole wholesaler of this item. The NNPC can't do only it. We need the autonomous and real advertisers also to please come in and aid this present circumstance," he said.

A mellow dramatization played out at the occasion when three people presented themselves as national leaders of the Independent Marketers Petroleum Association of Nigeria.

They are Sanusi Fari, Chinedu Okorokwo and Obasi Lawson.

The improvement, which happened amid the starting session, drummed up a buzz at the occasion.

Individuals from the Senate advisory group settled that lone the Executive Secretary of IPMAN, Aminu Abdulkadir, would be perceived to represent the affiliation.

In his introduction, the Executive Secretary of the Major Marketers Association of Nigeria, Mr. Obafemi Olawore, countered the case by the Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Dr. Maikanti Baru, that the shortage was not caused supply lack.

He charged that the company had closed out private administrators in the import and production network.

Olawore stated, "That is additionally in view of the way that the legislature owes us N800bn. We have completed a few compromises guided by the Chief of Staff to the President (Abba Kyari).

"We are stating that, going ahead, real players ought to be given real parts to play in the importation procedure. We can close all retail outlets yet that wouldn't stop every one of the issues."

Full text of Muhammadu Buhari’s 2018 New Year address

 I join my fellow citizens this morning to welcome and celebrate the New Year 2018. This year promises to be pivotal in our quest for CHANGE

 sadly, i'm saddened to acknowledge that for several this Christmas and year holidays are something however merry and happy. rather than showing love, friendly relationship and charity, a number of our compatriots selected this era to communicate severe hardship on U.S.A. all by making spare fuel deficiency across the country.

 The consequence was that not several may travel and therefore the few United Nations agency did had to pay outrageous transport fares. this is often unacceptable providing NNPC had taken measures to make sure handiness in the slightest degree depots. i'm determined to induce to the foundation of this collective blackmail of all Nigerians and make sure that whichever teams area unit behind this manipulated hardship are prevented from doing thus once more.



 Such unpatriotism won't divert the Administration from the course we've got set ourselves. Our government’s watch word and policy thrust is modification. we have a tendency to should modification our approach of doing things or we are going to stagnate and be left behind within the race to carry our folks out of economic condition and into prosperity.

 My address to fellow Nigerians this morning is devoted principally to informing you regarding the extreme efforts this Administration is golf stroke to handle our country’s vast infrastructural deficit.

 we have a tendency to area unit progressing to create important in-roads in advancing road, rail and power comes across the country.

 The Ministry of Power, Works and Housing is one in every of the drivers of this Government’s commitment to renew and increase Nigeria’s stock of infrastructure so as to attain international economic aggressiveness as targeted below the Economic Recovery and Growth set up.

With regards to Railways, we've got set ourselves bold targets. Already in construction stage is that the Lagos-Kano railroad Railway. 

 the road ought to reach city from metropolis by the top of 2019 and can carry 2 million passengers annually and 5 million plenty of payload are transported each year giving a considerable boost to the country’s economy.

Construction of the Kano – Kaduna section is anticipated to begin this year and reach Kaduna by the top of 2019. By the top of 2021 the 2 ends are joined in order that we are going to have railroad railway across the most North-South mercantilism route.

 The Nigerian capital – Kaduna route are boosted by extra wheeled vehicle next Thursday and can be ready to handle one thousand thousand commuters annually.



At an equivalent time I actually have approved and negotiations are all over within the 1st a part of this year for the Port Harcourt to Yerwa-Maiduguri line covering Aba, Owerri, Umuahia, Enugu, Awka, Abakaliki, Makurdi, Lafia, Jos, Bauchi, Gombe, Yola and Damaturu.  The Nigerian capital to Itakpe line can undergo Baro and terminate in Warri with construction of a replacement harbour at Warri.

Negotiations are advanced for the development of different railway lines, first of all from Kano to Maradi in Niger Republic passing through Kazaure, Daura, Katsina, Jibia to Maradi.

Secondly, metropolis to Calabar the “Coastal Rail”  through Ore, Benin, Agbor, Asaba, Onitsha, Sapele, Ughelli, Warri, Yenagoa, Otuoke, Port Harcourt, Aba, Uyo and Calabar. within the next few years, of these Nigerian cities are joined by practical trendy rail systems, giving monumental boost to the social and economic lifetime of our folks.

With relevancy the Nigerian capital Capital lightweight Rail, progress has reached ninety eight completion, as at sixty fourth completion after we assumed workplace. solely take a look at runs stay before begin of operations.

This train service can stimulate economic activities within the Federal Capital and supply residents with associate economical and safe transit.  Twelve railway sub-stations round the capital over a forty five.2 km route can function a catalyst and a pull issue to the economy of the world. the sunshine Rail System can scale back tie up and carbon emission in line with the Administration’s policy on global climate change.

Management of the Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA) has been reconstituted and has been charged with a twelve week fast intervention in road repairs to hide all the geo-political zones. Government is endeavor repairs and maintenance of forty four roads at intervals the six geo-political zones.

Twenty 5 major highways are funded below the N100b SUKUK facility. every geo-political zone can profit by associate equal quantity of N16.67b. the subsequent major highways area unit to receive special attention:

a.  Oyo – Ogbomosho,

b.  Ofusu – Ore – Ajebandele – Shagamu,

c.  Yenagoa Road Junction – Kolo Otuoke – Bayelsa Palm,

d.  Enugu – Port Harcourt twin Carriage approach,

e.  Onitsha – Enugu motorway,

f.    Kaduna japanese Bypass,

g.  Dualization of Kano – Yerwa-Maiduguri Road,

h.  Dualization of Nigerian capital – Lokoja – Republic of Benin Road,

i.    Dualization of Suleja – Minna Road.

In addition, Government has approved work to start out on the re-construction of Nigerian capital – Kaduna – urban center – Kano road that is in a very state of unsoundness. Work can presently begin and is anticipated to be completed in 2019.

 additional Nigerians across the country area unit experiencing improved power provide to their homes and businesses.  However, power remains a priority to the present government as a result of too many of us still don't have regular and reliable provide.

The Payment Assurance Guarantee theme that started in Gregorian calendar month 2016 has enabled the Nigerian Bulk Electricity merchandiser to boost to this point N701 billion to assure Generation corporations of a minimum of eightieth payment for any power delivered to the national grid.

Consequently, generation has currently reached seven,000MW. On Immaculate Conception, 2017 the country achieved five,155MW of power delivered to customers, the very best level ever recorded.

Several moribund comes are revived.  Repairs of Afam powerhouse further 110MW in 2017 and another 240MW are further this year through a personal investment partnership.

Katsina Power Project is currently being tested and manufacturing 10MW of power from wind for the primary time in Nigeria.  It ought to be totally operational this year.

The Zungeru 700MW electricity Power Project, stalled by charge is due for completion in 2019.  The transmission and different necessities to control the 30MW Gurara part one electricity Plant, the 40MW Kashimbilla electricity Plant and therefore the 215 MW Kaduna Gas/LPG/Diesel powerhouse also will be completed this year.

A landmark project, Mambilla electricity Power Project is ultimately setting out.  This project has been on the strategy planning stage for forty years, however currently the engineering, procural and construction contract for the three,050MW project has been united with a Chinese venture Company with a finance commitment from the govt. of China.  Completion is targeted for 2023.

As i discussed earlier, the Transmission Company of Nigeria will currently distribute all the seven,000MW that may be generated.  TCN and therefore the Niger Delta company have further one,950MVA of 330 all the way down to 132KV electrical device capability of ten transmission stations and a couple of,930MVA of 132 all the way down to 33KV electrical device capability of forty two sub-stations together with Ikot Ekpene, Aba, Alagbon, Ajah, Ejigbo, Funtua and urban center.

  This Administration is functioning with the privatised distribution corporations to beat the continued challenges of distribution.

 These large structure ought to spearhead the recovery and lead millions back to employment. you'll recall that it had been not till last year that we have a tendency to got out of the economic recession into that the country had fallen as a consequence of past unsustainable economic policies that projected short-run unreal growth.

The government is slowly stabilising the economy.

It was so as to alter the steady and steep decline that we have a tendency to adopted the additional property policies and programmes captured within the Economic Recovery set up. Diversification efforts have resulted in improved output significantly in agriculture and solid minerals sectors. The relative rate of exchange stability has improved producing sector performance.

 we've got have to be compelled to get wont to discipline and direction in economic management. the times of business as was common area unit numbered.

 2 years agone I appealed to folks to travel back to the land. i'm extremely pleased that agriculture has picked up, contributive to the government’s effort to re-structure the economy. Rice imports can stop this year. Local rice, freshman and additional nutrient are on our dishes from currently on. 

By an equivalent token, i'm nowadays appealing to enterprising Nigerians with ideas and fired graduates and different fit  and literate men and ladies with ideas to not simply sit and sit up for employment from the govt. or the Organized non-public Sector. nice nations area unit engineered by enterprising folks that flip their hands to something that circumstances dictate.

 In respect of political developments, I actually have unbroken a detailed watch on the on-going discussion regarding “Restructuring”. No human law or construction is ideal. no matter structure we have a tendency to develop should sporadically be formed consistent with dynamical circumstances and therefore the country’s socio-economic developments. we have a tendency to Nigerians are often terribly impatient and wish to boost our conditions quicker than could also be doable considering our resources and capabilities. once all the aggregates of nationwide opinions area unit thought-about, my firm read is that our issues area unit additional to try and do with method than structure.

 we have a tendency to tried the Parliamentary system: we have a tendency to jettisoned it. currently there area unit shrill cries for a come back to the Parliamentary structure. In older democracies these systems took centuries to evolve thus we have a tendency to cannot expect a derived system to suit showing neatness our functions. we have a tendency to should provides a long amount of trial and improvement before the system we've got adopted is anyplace close to appropriate purpose.

 However, there's a powerful case for a better check out the value of presidency and for the general public services long wont to extravagance, waste and corruption to alter for the higher. I assure you that government is ever receptive to ideas which is able to improve governance and contribute to the country’s peace and stability.

 because the electioneering season approaches politicians should avoid exploiting quality and faith by linking quality with faith and faith with politics. Such should be avoided in the slightest degree prices if we have a tendency to area unit to measure harmonious.

In this respect the remainder of Nigeria may learn from the South Western States United Nations agency have with success internalized faith, quality and politics.

Political discourse ought to be conducted with civility, decorousness and in a very constitutional manner. we have a tendency to all have a collective responsibility to strengthen our democracy and entrench the rule of law. we should always draw encouragement from the series of bye-elections conducted by INEC last year that were usually violence free and their outcomes adjudged to be free and truthful.

 Before I conclude my address i need to reassure my fellow voters that security of life and property remains prime of our government’s agenda. we've got since crushed Boko Haram. Isolated attacks still occur, however even the best-policed countries cannot stop determined criminals from committing terrible acts of terror as we've got seen throughout the past years in Europe, Asia, geographic region, elsewhere in Africa and in America.

Our government remains determined to safeguard all Nigerians in line with our election pledge and guarantees. On behalf of all Nigerians let American state supply our because of the soldiers, the Police, different para-military forces and ancient authorities United Nations agency area unit operating around the clock to make sure that you just and that i act our traditional business in cheap safety. 

 act of terrorism and concrete crimes area unit world-wide phenomena and our security forces area unit unendingly adapting their responses to dynamical threats.

 With relevancy rampant cases of kidnappings, we have a tendency to area unit taking immediate short-run measures to combat this new evil travel into our societies.  Tighter police strategies and swift and severe penalization for those evidenced to be engaged in snatch area unit on the approach.

 With relevancy Niger Delta, Government remains partaking accountable leadership of the Communities to assist in distinguishing and addressing real grievances of the region. Our clean-up programme together with the international organisation is creating satisfactory progress.

 i'm grateful to any or all the Governors and different Political & Community leaders of the Niger Delta States for his or her half in transfer relative peace to the areas.

 Finally let American state once more specific my sincere because of all Nigerians United Nations agency prayed on behalf of me throughout my health problem last year. I feel deeply humble by your prayers and smart desires and that i am additional determined than ever to serve you to the simplest of my ability.

 morning. and that i want everybody a contented year.
