… Seeks to collaborates with Transport, Aviation Correspondents

The acting Director General, Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) Capt. Chris Najomo, weekend tasks media practitioners on correct narrative of events that brings about positive impact to the agency, the aviation industry and wealth of the country amongst the league of nations of the world.

According to a press release signed by Kasim Sumaina, PRO, ATACA, Najomo, to this end seeks to collaborate with the sector’s correspondents for good reportage of the Authority

The NCAA boss, while playing host to Abuja Transportation and Aviation Correspondents Association (ATACA), in his office in Abuja, noted that social media was a very powerful tool that could be used for good projection of activities of the country, stating: “we must be very careful of what we chun out daily.”

According to him, “If the body is doing something good, report. Don’t use your pen and paper to blackmail. Investigate properly, cross check with your colleagues for correct information, because, social media is very strong these days.”

Najomo maintained that NCAA was all about ensuring that standards are met hence, “it is about training and retraining. Journalists should do better reports as lournalism has gone beyond the surface meaning of journalism.

“We are ready to collaborate in building a better aviation sector devoid of misinformation and tension as the closeness of media professionals to the NCAA would result in a better reportage about the NCAA activities.”

On the recent suspension of private jets used for commercial operations, Najomo hinted, “We are going to continue to sanction, it is not business as usual. Do the right thing and you would not be grounded. Get your AOC and all would be well, he said to aviation stakeholders.

He, however, called on journalists to refrain from junk journalism of blackmailing as it doesn’t speak well of the profession. “We need all the support from you. We are here to make things seamless,” he concluded.

Speaking earlier, Chairman, Abuja Transportation and Aviation Correspondents (ATACA), Mr. Oru Leonard Oru, commended the DG, NCAA, for piloting the affairs of the agency in a professional manner.

Oru, while outlining the activities of the Association to the NCAA boss, however, urged the agency to open its door of activities to journalists for proper coverage.

According to him, “You don’t expect good reportage from a distance. There must be closeness, and with that, we avoid beer parlour talks. Aviation is critical, and NCAA involves technicalities, so we seek for more training of our members.”

The ATACA chair, while highlighting further on the activities of the association, briefed Capt. Najomo, on the forthcoming seminar, the ATACA Journal, welfare for members and sort for his support to ensure that all its planned events are successful.

He, however, thanks the agency for the warm reception, its pledges to work with the sector’s correspondence, the approved training for members, and the look
forward to a fruitful partnership.

NiMet, Federal Ministry Of Agriculture And Food Security To Strengthen Partnership Towards Improving Agricultural Production

The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet), and the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security have made moves to strengthen their existing relationship towards improving agricultural production in Nigeria. The Ministry and NiMet had signed an MoU on the 3rd of March, 2022, to collaborate in a lot of areas including development of a dash-board for early warning systems, capacity building for staff of the Ministry and other stakeholders on accessing and interpreting information on meteorological parameter changes, and the provision of agro-meteorological advisory services to farmers on specific agricultural commodities.

At a joint press briefing on NiMet’s annual Seasonal Climate Prediction (SCP), which held at the conference room of the Ministry in Abuja, on Tuesday, 16th April, 2024, the Honourable Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Senator Abubakar Kyari while welcoming the NiMet team led by
the Director General, Chief Executive Officer of NiMet, and Nigeria’s permanent representative with World Meteorological Organization (WMO), Professor Charles Anosike, said; “Your presence here today, at our headquarters, marks another milestone in the deliberate and desirable collaboration and co-operation between our Ministry and your agency. Over the years, critical sectors of the economy, such as aviation, maritime, and agriculture, have come to rely on the Seasonal Climate Prediction published by NiMeT usually in the first quarter of the year. The reliability of the Seasonal Climate Prediction is indicated by increased recourse to the weather advisories contained therein”.

The Honourable Minister also said that NIMET’s Seasonal Climate Prediction can assist in shaping agriculture in Nigeria with regard to information about the pattern and duration of rainfall across the country’s agronomic zones, when to grow and length of growing season, as well as dry spells that could occasion loss of agricultural investment, where remedial measures are not taken. This in turn helps to boost the adaptive capacity of farmers. Regrettably, there have been farming seasons in Nigeria when farmers did not take advantage of the institutional advice from NIMET, and on their own misread the rainfall pattern, only to face dry spells that invariably ruined their crops and livelihoods.

In his remarks, Professor Anosike thanked the Honourable Minister for his leadership and the kind gesture to  strengthen the relationship between NiMet and the ministry.

“NiMet wishes to build on the database of farmers that the ministry has. Already NiMet disseminates information about seasonal climate prediction through formal engagements with farmers , and through the media such as the BBC, social media, Radio Nigeria and through national television stations.
However, a lot of gaps still exist within the dissemination space. Our goal is to reach as many Nigerians as possible with timely, accurate and actionable weather and climate information as part of NiMet Early Warning Drive”

Continuing, Professor Anosike said; “Food security requires consistent collaboration with all stakeholders. The SCP as predicted are being manifested but the challenge remains disseminating the contents to over 70 million farmers in Nigeria. Farmers need to be equipped with information and other resources to make climate resilient decisions”.

Troops neutralise 192 terrorists, arrests 341 persons, rescues 62 kidnapped hostages-Dhq

By Emmanuel Daudu

The Armed Forces of Nigeria has disclosed that troops neutralised 192 terrorists and arrested 341 persons, while rescuing 62 kidnapped hostages.
” A total of 122 ISWAP/JAS combatant terrorist surrendered with their family members. Troops also arrested 37 perpetrators of oil theft. In the SS, troops denied oil theft of the estimated sum of Eight Hundred and Twenty One Million Two Hundred and Forty Eight Thousand Seven Hundred and Forty Naira (N821,248,740.00) only in two weeks”.

Major General Edward Buba,
Director Defence Media Operations made the disclosure on Thursday during a biweekly press briefing on the ongoing military operations by the Armed Forces of Nigeria

While speaking further, Edward stated that troops recovered 211 assorted weapons and 6,288 assorted ammunition.
“The breakdown as follows: 128 AK47 rifles, 26 dane guns among other items. Others are: 1,301 rounds of 7.62mm NATO, 3,260 rounds of 7.62mm special ammo, 1,325 live cartridges, 140 round of 9mm ammo among other items.

“Troops in the Niger Delta area discovered and destroyed 99 dugout pits, 36 storage tanks and 192 cooking ovens. During the process the troops recovered 349,970 litres of stolen crude oil, 112,135 litres of illegally refined AGO, 7,560 litres of DPK and 13,000 litres of PMS.”

Despite the overwhelming victory of the Nigerian Armed Forces against insurgency, the military recognises that there is still a challenging and tough war campaign still ahead . “Overall, our objective is to defeat the terrorist and their cohorts by denying them the ability to continue to fight.

“The lifeline of these terrorist groups is the people. Winning the war without the support of the people is close to impossible. It is for this reason, we encourage the civil populace and civil societies to galvanise support in a whole of society approach to facilitate the total defeat of these terrorist. The time is now for citizens to know that they have a responsible to the nation.

“For instance, a cursory look at our security situation shows that it is unique, in the sense of being self inflicted. Beginning with the Boko Haram Terrorist in the NE. The illegal mining and kidnapping enterprise in the NW and NC, these are perpetrated under the guise of terrorism. The agitation of IPOB in the SE have proven to be for self engrandisement. Then, the call for a Yoruba Nation which is laughable. All these buttress how our security situation is self inflicted in the country.

“These acts are against the constitution and therefore unacceptable for persons or groups to take up arms against a constituted govrrnment. Anyone or group that contravenes this provision of the constitution is inviting severe military action and would be dealth with decisively.

“Above all, the fighting spirit of our men and women in uniform is strong, resilient, focused, proud and committed . We understand that we have no choice but to continue to fight to defeat the enemy and create a safer environment for citizens.

“The prerequisite of ongoing counter insurgency and counter terrorism operations by the military across the country is defeating the terrorist and dismantling their military, administrative and political capabilities. Accordingly, through our operations we are continually boxing in the terrorist and dismantling their resupply routes.

” The military is working decisively to kill the terrorist, dismantle their networks and create conditions whereby they cannot carry out acts of terror or harm citizens. It is for these reasons that the armed forces would continue to hunt the leadership of these terrorist groups everywhere across these theatres of operations.

” Being a professional force, due diligence by way of Intelligence, Surveillance and Recogniance is painstakingly taken to distinguish the terrorist before air strikes are conducted. These air strikes have resulted in the death of several of these terrorist leaders and the cohorts hibernating in enclaves across the theatres of operation.

“It therefore should not be surprising, that these terrorist and their sympathisers plot on blackmailing the military as a result of these air strikes. The plot is to depict some casualties as innocent citizens rather than cohorts of these terrorist. It is therefore important for the media to be wary of the antics of these terrorist groups and their sympathisers. Our operations have prevented these evil elements from accomplishing their strategic objectives”, Buba added.

NSCC set to Empower State Commissioners on Elderly Care

By Emmanuel Daudu

The National Senior Citizens Centre, NSCC, has staged a one-day orientation consultations and capacity enhancement workshop on domestication of national senior citizens center act and sector-wide programming in ageing for state commissioners and directors of Social welfare held in Abuja on Tuesday, April 16, 2024.

At the event, the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Senator Abubakar Bagudu expressed his commitment and support to the social inclusion of senior citizens in sustainable development and the improvement of the quality of living and wellbeing of the senior citizens in Nigeria.

The Minister stressed that the national planning function arm of the budget ministry resides in the budget and economic planning and it’s the custodian of the plan of where Nigeria plans to be in the next fifty years as regards senior citizens and also, a five year interval is been drawn to inculcate the national development plan for the senior citizens.

Though he urged the Director-General of the NSCC to thoroughly look into the five year documents plan crafted by the planning function to ensure that where the budget office has not properly captured the aspirations of the national senior citizens, the forum can interrogate the documents and make recommendations to him while they can also look at other best practices developed in other developed countries to be discussed and be given feedback to make the Ministry perform better as it concerns the national senior citizens’ matters.

While speaking, the Director-General, NSCC, Dr. Emem Omakaro disclosed that, NSCC has developed a comprehensive strategic roadmap on ageing and a national plan action on ageing.

In her words,”the national action plan on ageing in Nigeria (2021-2025) and the NSCC strategic roadmap is on ageing (2022-2032) aimed at recognising the trends of population of ageing and the health, socio-economic and psychological implications of the increasing absolute numbers and diversity of older persons to the individual, the family, community and the nation.

Dr. Omakaro further stated that, the multi-sectoral partnership with MDAs across all levels of government are key to the success of NSCC, adding that it is important to initiate high level engagement with relevant ministries with the mandates for social development, social welfare, humanitarian and poverty alleviation as well as health in all 36 states and FCT.”

Similarly, the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Mr. Abel Olumuyiwa Enitan, who was represented by Mrs Agnes Aneke stated that the social protection measures which are crucial for the older persons dignified living standard, necessitate a multi-sectoral approach but sadly, many states are not equipped to tackle the multi-faceted challenges affecting the older persons beyond the legally unguaranteed and grossly inadequate cash transfer.

She urged all states to domesticate the national Senior Citizens Act and the Ageing Policy to compel the government to prioritize the inclusion of the older persons into the states development agenda.

“Allocating sufficient budget and investment for the older persons is very important. Equally, empowering the citizens to hold the government accountable while advocating for enhanced services for the older persons is essential”.

N80.2billion Money Laundering :  Yahaya Bello’s Absence Stalls Arraignment

Former governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello on Thursday, April 18, 2024 failed to appear before Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court, Maitama, Abuja to kick off his arraignment by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

Bello was slated for arraignment  by the EFCC alongside Ali Bello, Dauda Suleiman and Abdulsalam Hudu on 19-count charges bordering on money laundering to the tune of N80, 246, 470,089.88k (Eight Billion, Two Hundred and Forty-six Million, Four Hundred and Seventy Thousand and Eighty-Nine Naira, Eighty-Eighty Kobo).

Count one of the charges reads: That you,  Yahaya Adoza Bello, Ali Bello, Dauda Suliman, and Abdulsalam Hudu (Still at large), sometime, in February, 2016, in Abuja within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, conspired amongst yourselves to convert the total sum of N80, 246,470, 088.88 (Eighty Billion, Two Hundred and Forty Six Million, Four Hundred and Seventy Thousand and Eight Nine Naira, Eighty Eight Kobo), which sum you reasonably ought to have known forms part of the proceeds of your unlawful activity  to wit, criminal breach of trust and you thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 18(a) and punishable under Section 15(3) of the Money Laundering ( Prohibition) Act, 2011 as amended”.

Count 17 of the charges read: “That you Yahaya Bello between 26th July 2021 to 6th April 2022 in Abuja within the jurisdiction of this Honourable  Court aided E-Traders International Limited to conceal the aggregate sum of  N3081,804,654.00( Three Billion, Eighty One Million Eight Hundred and Four Thousand Six Hundred and Fifty Four Naira) in account number 1451458080 domiciled in Access BankPlc, which sum you reasonably ought to have known forms part of proceeds of unlawful activity to wit, criminal breach of trust and you thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 18(a), 15(2) (d) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, 2011 as amended and punishable under Section 15( 3) of the same Act.

Count 18  of the charges reads: “That you Yahaya Adoza Bello  sometime in November 2021 in Abuja within the jurisdiction  of this Honourable Court  indirectly procured E-Traders international Limited to transfer  the aggregate sum of $570,330.00 (Five Hundred and Seventy Thousand , Three Hundred and Thirty Dollars) to account number 4266644272 domiciled in TD Bank, United States of America which sum you reasonably  ought to have known  forms part of proceeds of unlawful activity to wit, criminal breach of trust and you thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 15(2) (d) of the Money Laundering ( Prohibition) Act, 2011 as amended and punishable under Section 15( 3) of the same Act.”

Yahaya Bello’s botched arraignment  came on the heels of his warrant of arrest granted the EFCC by the court on Wednesday, April 17, 2024.

Prosecution counsel, Kemi Pinheiro (SAN) regretted that a lawful attempt to serve the defendant the charges, along with a court order of arrest was botched “by a person of immunity, who came and whisked him away in his car,” noting that by virtue of Section 287 of the constitution all persons are obliged to obey a court order. Also, Section 12 of ACJA,  he said,  allowed law enforcement agencies to break down premises to bring unwilling defendants to justice.

Pinheiro assured that “The state will invoke all its powers within the law to ensure that the defendant is produced in court. The state will ensure that he is produced in court for the purpose of arraignment, and it is in his own interest so that he can take his plea”.

Following Bello’s absence, Pinheiro sought leave of the court to serve him the charges through his counsel, Abdulwahab Muhammed (SAN). Muhammed, however, declined saying that he did not have the authority of his client to accept the charges.  Muhammed further argued that his client cannot be arraigned in court until EFCC’s appeal against an order of the High Court, restraining the Commission from arresting, detaining and prosecuting him is determined and also until the determination of his client’s preliminary objection, challenging the jurisdiction of Justice Nwite’s court to entertain his trial.

Pinheiro, however, submitted that it was legal and constitutional to serve the defendant through his lawyer, especially as the defence counsel introduced himself in court unconditionally and without limitations as the representative of the defendant.

“Having introduced himself unconditionally as the representative of the defendant, my learned colleague knows that he cannot be a defence counsel for arraignment and not for bail. If he is served the charges on behalf of the defendant, if he likes he can now advise his client to stay permanently away from the court,” he said.

The judge adjourned the matter till Tuesday, April 23, 2024, for ruling as to whether the prosecution can serve the defendant through his lawyer for arraignment.
