CISLAC Demands Justice as Police Officers Allegedly Defy Court Orders in Yobe State

Bilkisu Adejoh

In a bold move to uphold judicial authority, the Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC) has formally petitioned the Police Service Commission, accusing top police officials in Yobe State of serious misconduct and blatant contempt of court.

CISLAC’s Executive Director, Comrade Auwal Musa Rafsanjani, is calling for swift action against the Area Commandant of Potiskum Division and the Yobe State Commissioner of Police, highlighting an alleged disregard for legal procedures that threatens the foundations of Nigeria’s judicial system.

On October 29, 2024, officers from the Potiskum Area Command reportedly stormed the Chief Magistrate Court in Potiskum, halting legal proceedings and intimidating court officials, lawyers, and the public.

According to CISLAC, the officers forcibly removed two convicted individuals, Abdulahi Aji Bulama and Mr. Kabir (A.T.O.), directly defying a lawful detention order. The action, described as “a blatant disregard for judicial authority,” sparked outrage among human rights advocates and raised concerns over Nigeria’s commitment to upholding democratic principles and the rule of law.

The petition highlights that this incident is part of a troubling pattern of non-compliance by the Potiskum Area Command, which, CISLAC claims, has repeatedly disregarded court summons and arrest warrants.

Despite multiple court orders and hearings, CISLAC alleges, police in Potiskum have flouted judicial directives and ignored the rule of law, undermining public trust and tarnishing the credibility of the Nigerian police force.

“This kind of interference in the judicial process undermines not only the integrity of the justice system but also public trust in the police,” said Rafsanjani, noting that the officers’ conduct breached the Nigerian Police Code of Conduct and ignored both national and international legal standards.

CISLAC’s petition demands a transparent investigation, disciplinary action against the implicated officers, and a mandate for enhanced training on legal and ethical compliance to prevent future incidents.

In urging the Police Service Commission to act, CISLAC aims to send a clear message that no one is above the law, advocating for reforms that will uphold judicial independence and strengthen Nigeria’s democracy.

CISLAC Sounds Alarm Over Transparency in Ajaokuta Steel Complex

Bilkisu Adejoh

In a bold call for transparency, the Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC) is urging the Ministry of Steel Development and the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) to uphold strict transparency and legal adherence in appointing a Transaction Adviser to revitalize the Ajaokuta Steel Complex Limited (ASCL) and the National Iron Ore Mining Company (NIOMCO) in Itakpe.

This demand, CISLAC insists, is essential for ensuring a rigorous and equitable procurement process that respects public trust.

Through two meticulously detailed letters signed by CISLAC Executive Director Auwal Musa Rafsanjani, the organization raised serious concerns regarding irregularities in the procurement process, which it argues may breach the Public Procurement Act of 2007.

CISLAC, the Nigerian chapter of Transparency International, is especially concerned about the absence of clear, legally mandated evaluation criteria, an issue that threatens the selection’s integrity.

According to CISLAC, key areas of the Request for Proposal (RFP) lack crucial details, such as the assigned weights for quality and cost factors, violating Section 51(1) of the Procurement Act.

Rafsanjani emphasized that without disclosing technical scores prior to opening financial proposals, the selection process undermines fairness and contravenes Section 51(4) of the Act.

CISLAC also noted the absence of explicit evaluation criteria, cautioning that this omission risks arbitrary scoring and could create room for bias.

Moreover, CISLAC expressed alarm over the exclusion of the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC) from this process, a move that, in CISLAC’s view, infringes on the ICRC Act, 2005, and statutory mandates for public-private partnerships.

This exclusion, the organization warned, raises both legal and transparency concerns, especially for a project carrying such high stakes.

CISLAC further underscored the role of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in observing procurement processes to safeguard public interest.

Rafsanjani highlighted that Section 57 of the Act mandates transparent disclosure of conflicts of interest, a key safeguard for impartiality in such critical decisions. Additionally, the letter pointed to possible breaches of the Fiscal Responsibility Act, ministerial oversight duties, and ethics standards, which are crucial in maintaining the fairness of this process.

With federal investment in ASCL and NIOMCO exceeding $7 billion over four decades without substantial outcomes, CISLAC insists that Nigeria must avoid repeating past mistakes.

In a landmark move to empower Nigerian youth and foster self-reliance, the Federal Government has announced a strategic partnership with the European Union (EU) focused on advancing youth programmes that bridge the gap between young Nigerians and the government.

The initiative was revealed by the Honourable Minister of Youth Development, Comrade Ayodele Olawande, during his recent visit to the EU delegation to Nigeria and ECOWAS in Abuja.

Comrade Olawande emphasized the Federal Government’s commitment to youth empowerment through this collaboration with the EU, spotlighting the establishment of the Youth Connect Hub as a major step forward.

The hub, designed to equip young Nigerians with essential resources, mentorship, and training, aims to nurture innovation, foster entrepreneurship, and drive economic transformation nationwide.

“The Youth Connect Hub will empower youth to innovate and create sustainable businesses, ultimately driving economic growth and transformation in the nation,” Olawande stated, underscoring the initiative’s potential to reshape the future of Nigeria’s young population.

L-R: Ambassador-Designate of the EU and ECOWAS, Mr. Gautier Mignot and the Honourable Minister, Federal Ministry of Youth Development, Comrade Ayodele Olawande, during the visit to the EU Embassy in Abuja, recently.

The Minister also praised the EU’s contribution to the ongoing review of Nigeria’s National Youth Policy, emphasizing its vital role in refining policies that shape the nation’s youth landscape.

He appealed for continued EU support for various Ministry-led initiatives, including the Nigerian Youth Academy (NiYA), a skills-building platform, and the Youth Helpdesk, which serves as a resource center for youth-oriented support. These initiatives are part of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s vision to uplift and engage Nigerian youth.

Beyond economic empowerment, Olawande stressed the importance of young people participating actively in governance and leadership, advocating that their voices in decision-making processes are essential for crafting policies that align with their aspirations.

The EU’s Ambassador-Designate to Nigeria and ECOWAS, Mr. Gautier Mignot, reaffirmed the EU’s dedication to supporting the Ministry’s initiatives.

He assured that the EU would provide assistance to ensure these youth programs align with Nigeria’s development priorities.

This collaboration between the Federal Government and the EU promises to bring new opportunities to Nigeria’s youth, positioning them as central drivers of economic and social progress in the years to come.

CLEEN Foundation’s Bold Call for Peaceful, Transparent Election in Ondo State’s 2024 Governorship Poll

Bilkisu Adejoh

As Ondo State braces for its highly anticipated 2024 governorship election set for Saturday, November 16, the CLEEN Foundation has issued a pre-election statement urging security, transparency, and peace across all electoral processes.

This was contained in a statement today by the Acting Executive Director
CLEEN Foundation, Peter Maduoma.

Maduoma said the election marks a pivotal moment for the people of Ondo, and CLEEN Foundation’s presence and initiatives promise a thorough oversight on the conduct of security personnel and election integrity, setting the stage for a model election in Nigeria.

He said security remains a top priority ahead of the polls, as Nigeria’s lead election security agency, the Nigeria Police Force, has deployed an extensive force of 36,000 personnel to Ondo State.

This formidable team, pulled from various police commands nationwide, is joined by officers from the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Nigeria Customs Service, Nigeria Immigration Service, and other agencies.

In an early observation, CLEEN Foundation noted a “tense but calm atmosphere” in Akure, the state capital, marked by heightened security and last-minute campaigns from political figures.

He noted that the CLEEN Foundation’s Election Security Support Centre (ESSC) will operate under the Civil Society Organisation (CSO) Situation Room, providing real-time monitoring, verification, analysis, and reporting on security personnel deployed for the election.

The organization will work with trained election observers who are stationed across all 18 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Ondo State to assess the actions of security personnel, aiming to ensure accountability throughout election day.

CLEEN Foundation has proactively released its Election Security Threat Assessment (ESTA) for Ondo State, identifying potential electoral risk factors.

Through collaboration with key security agencies and stakeholders, the Foundation has taken preventive steps to mitigate these risks, fostering a safe environment for the governorship race.

The ESSC’s hotline will be open to the public, encouraging citizens to report any incidents that could affect election integrity and peace.

Ahead of the election, CLEEN Foundation issued a call to action, urging all stakeholders including political parties, security agencies, INEC officials, media, election observers, and Ondo citizens to uphold democratic values and ensure a transparent and peaceful election.

CLEEN Foundation commended security agencies for their past efforts to maintain order and urges them to continue their vigilance in safeguarding voters, observers, media, and INEC officials from threats, intimidation, or violence.

CLEEN advocates for a zero-tolerance stance on electoral violence and calls for a peaceful atmosphere where citizens can vote free from fear or coercion.

Citing a noticeable voter disenchantment and potential apathy, CLEEN encourages eligible voters to participate actively in the election, emphasizing the importance of informed voting in shaping the state’s future.

CLEEN further expressed appreciation for INEC’s commitment to a credible election and urges the commission to ensure efficient logistics, particularly in the state’s riverine areas.

CLEEN’s appeal also stresses the need for INEC to provide swift responses to any electoral irregularities, ensuring the safety of election officials and materials.

With political tensions high, CLEEN calls on political leaders and their supporters to respect the democratic process, regardless of the outcome.

CLEEN also highlights the essential role of the media in providing accurate, unbiased information to avoid stoking division or unrest.

CLEEN Foundation reminds the people of Ondo State that this election is an opportunity to move beyond ethnic, religious, and political divides, strengthening democratic values and unity.

CLEEN remains committed to its role in monitoring and supporting a fair and transparent electoral process, aiming to set a precedent for elections in Nigeria.

As the clock ticks towards election day, all eyes are on Ondo State, with CLEEN Foundation positioned as a crucial advocate for peace and accountability in this defining political moment.

INEC Faces Public Backlash Over Alleged Electoral Irregularities and Corruption

Emmanuel Daudu

In an explosive disclosure, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has come under intense scrutiny following its chairman’s admission of “criminal mishandling” in the recent Edo governorship election.

The revelation has cast serious doubts on the credibility and operational integrity of Nigeria’s foremost electoral body, as INEC faces mounting criticism for repeated flaws in election oversight and execution.

This was contained in a statement signed and made available to journalists in Abuja by the President, Northern Initiative for Democracy and Justice, Amb. Nurudeen Musa Sadique.

According to the statement, INEC Chairman said the Edo election was marred by a series of fundamental mistakes and procedural lapses. Among these was an alarming inconsistency between manually collated results and figures uploaded to the INEC Results Viewing Portal (IREV).

This divergence in results, especially for such a significant election, has raised questions about the reliability of INEC’s operations, with INEC Chairman Prof. Mahmood Yakubu reportedly expressing disappointment over the handling of the election despite substantial financial investments to ensure transparency and accuracy.

Adding to the controversy, the Kogi State governorship election held on November 11, 2023, witnessed further complications.

Critics argue that INEC’s performance continues to decline, despite technological advancements and legislative measures aimed at curbing electoral fraud.

Among the promised solutions was the use of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS), designed to eliminate over-voting and other malpractices. However, the failure to implement BVAS consistently, as observed in Kogi Central, has fueled widespread disillusionment with the electoral body.

Ambassador Nurudeen Musa Sadique, President of the Northern Initiative for Democracy and Justice (NIDJ), voiced his organization’s deep frustration with INEC’s recent performance.

Sadique noted that despite BVAS’s potential to ensure accurate results, trained INEC staff in Kogi Central allegedly disregarded its use, undermining public confidence in the fairness of the process.

When cases involving alleged electoral fraud reached the judiciary, they were often dismissed on technicalities, disregarding strong evidence of BVAS bypassing, according to Sadique.

“Corruption has unfortunately become pervasive within our electoral and judicial systems, further eroding trust in the democratic process,” Sadique remarked.

He emphasized that this deterioration in credibility is apparent not only in INEC’s handling of elections but also in the judiciary’s perceived leniency when examining evidence of electoral malpractice.

A particularly contentious point was the discrepancy in voter turnout between different regions of Kogi State, with some local government areas showing unusually high results compared to others.

Critics argue that such inconsistencies suggest electoral manipulation, casting doubt on the validity of the results.

Sadique also addressed the reputational damage these irregularities have inflicted on Prof. Yakubu, a former academician. “Professor Yakubu’s leadership of INEC has regrettably tarnished the integrity of Nigerian academics. We expected better from him, and his performance has been a major disappointment,” Sadique asserted.

With the Ondo State governorship election approaching, questions abound over INEC’s preparedness.

Sadique warned that only a comprehensive overhaul could restore public faith in the institution.

“The Northern Initiative for Democracy and Justice will continue to demand transparency, accountability, and improvements from INEC,” he said.

“Nigerians are watching, and we expect real progress in future elections.”

This statement from NIDJ echoes the sentiments of many Nigerians, who are calling for an electoral body that upholds democracy without fear or favor, ensuring fair representation for all citizens.

Nigeria Leads Charge for Youth Empowerment at Youth Connekt Africa Summit, Says Minister

Maryam Aminu

In a groundbreaking commitment to youth development, Nigeria’s Honourable Minister of Youth Development, Comrade Ayodele Olawande, underscored the country’s leading role at the Youth Connekt Africa Summit, positioning it as a landmark event to drive transformative solutions for Africa’s youth.

The Minister emphasized that Nigeria’s active involvement in the summit signals a new chapter in empowering young Africans with vital skills and opportunities to bridge the gap between education and meaningful employment.

Comrade Olawande explained that Nigeria’s participation is more than a show of solidarity it’s a bold commitment to addressing youth unemployment and closing skill gaps across the continent.

During the Youth Connekt Africa Ministerial Policy Roundtable on “Rural Youth Entrepreneurs’ Access to Finance,” organized by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in partnership with the Rwandan government, Olawande highlighted the summit’s theme, “Jobs for Youth through Innovative Skilling,” as a key initiative toward achieving this goal.

Held in Kigali, Rwanda, the summit brought together youth-focused leaders from across Africa, all unified in a mission to empower young Africans with market-ready skills, promote entrepreneurship, and build pathways to sustainable employment.

The Minister outlined the summit’s strategies, which include advancing digital skills training, innovative financing solutions, and customized programs tailored to prepare African youth for high-demand sectors.

“This summit is not just a forum for discussions but a launchpad for real action, equipping African youth with essential tools like financial access, ICT skills, and mentorship needed to secure meaningful careers and economic independence,” Olawande remarked.

Represented by the Ministry’s Permanent Secretary, Mr. Olubunmi Olusanya, Comrade Olawande underscored the alignment of the summit’s objectives with Nigeria’s vision to narrow the gap between education and workforce demands.

“Youth Connekt Africa is uniquely positioned to bridge educational and employment divides, offering young Africans access to strategic resources and networks that can propel them into key roles in emerging industries,” he added.

With its focus on bolstering youth-led businesses and fostering long-term career growth, the Youth Connekt Africa Summit is setting a new benchmark for youth-focused initiatives on the continent.

As Nigeria takes an influential role in this continental agenda, the ripple effects of this initiative are expected to extend far and wide, presenting a model for sustainable youth empowerment in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

Dr. Bashir Gwandu Calls for Pan-African Unity to Unlock Billions in Rural Connectivity Potential

Maryam Aminu

In an impassioned appeal at the 2024 Sub-Saharan Spectrum Management Conference in Nairobi, Kenya, Dr. Bashir Gwandu, a leading authority in telecommunications and former head of Nigeria’s National Communications Commission (NCC), urged African nations to come together to secure the 600MHz spectrum a powerful frequency range that could revolutionize mobile connectivity in rural Africa.

“The digital future waits for no one,” he declared, emphasizing that unity in Africa’s spectrum strategy could be the key to bridging the urban-rural digital divide and tapping into an estimated $130 billion economic boon by 2030.

Dr. Gwandu, an Independent Spectrum Expert and a respected figure in global telecommunications, urged African representatives at the World Radiocommunications Conference 2027 (WRC-27) to present a united front in advocating for spectrum resources vital to rural connectivity.

Addressing the 600MHz band, he warned that Africa risks losing out if it fails to resolve internal conflicts that have hampered collaborative efforts.

“When we meet as a family, we must be honest with ourselves. We, as Africans, too often fight each other for the back seat, neglecting each other’s interests,” he stated, calling for an end to the division undermining Africa’s telecommunications goals.

In recent years, the 600MHz spectrum has gained international attention as a key frequency for extending 4G and 5G coverage in underserved areas.

Many countries in ITU Regions 2 and 3 have already assigned this band for mobile use. While some African countries are prepared to allocate it to mobile broadband, others are more cautious a situation Dr. Gwandu argues requires flexibility and understanding.

“The world is moving toward IMT in the 600 MHz band,” he emphasized, adding that nations ready to proceed should not be held back by those who aren’t.

Citing a recent example from the WRC-23 conference, where Egypt secured its allocation of the 600MHz band despite opposition from several African nations, Dr. Gwandu criticized the lack of unity that blocked similar progress for countries like Nigeria, Sudan, and Senegal.

He urged African nations to adopt a cooperative spirit that respects each country’s unique challenges and economic goals.

Dr. Gwandu also highlighted Africa’s urgent connectivity gap, particularly in rural areas, where low-frequency bands like 600MHz offer a cost-effective solution. With the GSMA forecasting $130 billion in economic gains from 5G by 2030, he argued that Africa could exceed this projection if it embraces a cohesive spectrum policy.

As WRC-27 approaches, Dr. Gwandu’s calls for Pan-African Unity to Unlock Billions in Rural Connectivity Potential
