N-power beneficiaries not fit for Community Policing – Leadership Editor

ByIsrael Wellington Jeremiah

According to an article published by the  Leadership Newspaper. They believed that the current precarious security situation in the country, despite concerted government efforts is worrisome. Equally disturbing is the approach towards finding a solution to it. Experts are expressing their concern that some of the measures being put in place may lead to a deeper crisis in the future if not decisively challenged and addressed now.

In an assessment of the procedures, they refer to the recruitment process into the security agencies especially the police. Where the Government and the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) recently announced a proposal to recruit National Youth Service Corps members and the beneficiaries of N-Power Programme to beef up the manpower needs of the Nigeria Police Force. The corps members and N-Power participants are to make up for the inadequacies in the ongoing recruitment of 10,000 additional hands by the Force.

While the Newspaper commend the federal government for its efforts to increase the number of police personnel, they don’t believe that N- power beneficiaries should be compelled to join the police force. According to them,N-power beneficiaries are certainly not the first option. In their opinion, the choice to join the police or any other security outfit should be a personal decision made out of conviction and passion.

It is of their opinion that the country must not draft N- Power beneficiaries wholesale into the police force.They appreciate the fact that the N-Power programme, especially its graduates component, was meant to be a stop gap measure whereby participants would serve for two years within which period they were expected to find a more permanent employment, exit and pave the way for others. Their conversion to other areas of need, talk less of the police, was not part of the plan.

In view of the foregoing, They call on the federal government to discard the idea of enlisting N- power participants into the police force as they believe it will be counterproductive in the long run. The proposal as it presently stands is tantamount to conscription.They insist that only candidates who are motivated to join the police force should be given the opportunity through a transparent process. It is also imperative that a thorough background check be done on all the prospective candidates as this will go a long way to having a police force every Nigerian will be proud of. In their own view, any recruitment or employment opportunities should be thrown open for all eligible citizens to compete for. That way, the best brains are likely to emerge to serve the very purpose of their selection.

“Some of the security agents were said to have entered into agreements with the bandits to look the other way while they carried on with their nefarious activities or even provide them with arms and ammunition while the bandits pay back in cash or rustled cattle.

“Since two leaders of the repentant bandits reportedly opened the Pandora box, security agencies have been working on clues to uncover the soldiers and policemen fueling banditry in the state. Sentry gathered that many of the errant soldiers and policemen are already cringing, with some of them desperately seeking to be transferred away from the state.”

NNPC to begins full rehabilitation of refineries in January 2020 – Kyar

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) says it will begin full rehabilitation of the nations three refineris by January 2020.

The nation’s refineries are located in Port Harcourt, Warri and Kaduna.

The Group Managing director Malam Mele Kyari disclosed this on Saturday in PortHarcourt during a facility tour to the Port Harcourt refinery.

Kyari in a statement by Mr Ndu Ughamadu, the spokesman for the corporation noted that the move would help the corporation to refine crude oil at optimum capacity by 2022.

He said that the visit to the refinery was part of his strong determination and commitment to ensure that the nation’s refineries deliver real time value and address the petroleum needs of Nigerians.

According to him, making the refineries to operate at optimal capacities is a mandate that NNPC as a corporation will leave no stone unturned to actualize, because a timely delivery of the asset is a priority.

“We will stick to time, we will deliver this project by 2022. We will commence actual rehabilitation work in January.

“We will do everything possible between October and December to close out all necessary conditions for us to deliver on that project.

“I believe that with the support that we have from the shareholders – government of this country, the entire staff of this company and the contractors, I believe it is doable and we will deliver the project,” the GMD said.

He further tasked the contractors on the need to consider their reputation as most critical element in business processes and engagements.

“It’s no longer about business now, but a reputational issue. For the original builders of the refinery, Tecmmont, Eni/NAOC and NNPC, let us be conscious of the fact that our reputation is at stake as far as this project is concerned.

“The NNPC leadership has promised this country that our refineries will work, therefore, we must work not to disappoint over 200million Nigerian stakeholders,” Kyari added

He also challenged the Port Harcourt refinery management to ensure that the nation’s indigenous engineers and other professionals working in the refinery were fully engaged to participate actively during the rehabilitation and own the process.

According to him, the involvement of the indigenous workers will build capacity, save cost and introduce an era of steady and uninterrupted production curve that will grow the oil and Gas Industry.

In his presentation on the progress and milestones on Phase 1 of the projects, the Tecmmont Project Manager, Mr. La Mattina Carmelo, said that the inspection aspect of the project had progressed to 91 per cent and Final Report and EPC Proposal stood at 75 per cent.

He added that his company would deliver the first phase of the rehabilitation within three weeks from now.

He also assured that there were no challenges as the project was progressing efficiently, pledging to offer its best services to ensure a timely delivery.

In the same vein, the project consulting company, Eni/NAOC, represented by the its project manager, Daniele Tamburini, confirmed that the work done so far by the NNPC and Tecmmont complied with global standard.

Tamburini said his company was ready to receive the full report of the scoping for final assessment and support the corporation to deliver the project in record time, saying that the initiative was a good business for Nigeria.

Earlier in his address, the Managing Director of the PHRC, Mr. Abba Bukar, expressed appreciation to the GMD for his deep commitment in ensuring that the refinery works for the benefit of Nigerians.

UN welcomes Yemen Iran-backed Houthi offer to end Saudi Arabia attacks

Houthi rebels have claimed to have carried out the attack, but the US and Saudi Arabia have blamed Iran. Tehran denies any involvement in the strikes. Yemen’s civil war has killed 10,000 and pushed millions to the edge of starvation in what has become the world’s worst man-made humanitarian disaster. 

Saudi Arabia and its regional allies drastically escalated the conflict in 2015 when they launched an air campaign against the Houthis, who had ousted President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi and seized the capital, Sanaa.

⤕Saudi emerged from attacks ‘stronger than ever’ ― Saudi Aramco CEO ⤕Iran vows to destroy any aggressor, as US sends troops to Saudi The Houthis have launched numerous drone, missile and rocket attacks on the Gulf kingdom. 

The UN has welcomed a proposal from Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels to end all attacks on Saudi Arabia as part of a peace initiative.

A statement said the proposal could send “a powerful message of the will to end the war”. The offer comes a week after drone and missile strikes hit Saudi Arabian oil facilities.

What have the Houthis offered? In a televised announcement, Houthi Supreme Political Council chair Mahdi al-Mashat said the group would end all strikes on Saudi Arabia, provided the kingdom and its allies did the same. 

“We reserve the right to return and respond in the case there is no reaction to our initiative,” he said, and called on all parties in Yemen to work towards “comprehensive national reconciliation”.

On Saturday, UN Special Envoy for Yemen Martin Griffiths welcomed the halt on strikes and the calls for a political solution. 

“The special envoy stresses the importance of taking advantage of this opportunity and moving forward with all necessary steps to reduce violence, military escalation and unhelpful rhetoric,” a statement issued from his office read.

Guidelines on LG funds takes off, as workers applaude FG

Guidelines on LG funds takes off, as workers applaude FG

===============================================

By Tony Akowe

After the failure of state governors to stop the take-off of the guidelines issued by the Nigeria Financial Intelligence Unit on the operation of local government funds, the guideline has finally taken off to the admiration of local government workers across the country.

A Federal High Court sitting in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom state capital had rejected an application brought before it by the Akwa Ibom state government seeking to stop the commencement of the guideline which many have seen as a way of President Muhammadu Buhari bringing to bear local government autonomy in the country after state governors frustrated the passage of the local government autonomy bill by the National Assembly.

The local government workers under the auspices of the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) and the Senior Staff Association of Statutory Corporations and Government Owned Companies (SSASCGOC); are full of praises over the smooth take-off of the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) in the country.

The two unions commended the Federal Government and the financial institutions who have adhered strictly to the guidelines of the NFIU on Joint State-Local Government Account and local government funds.

President of NULGE, Comrade Ibrahim Khaleel, told journalists in Abuja that the smooth take-off of the guidelines and the way the banks have cooperated for its smooth take off was encouraging despite stiff opposition from the governors who were only bent on their selfish desires to mismanage funds meant for the local governments.

Khaleel said “the Federal Government, especially President Muhammadu Buhari should be commended for standing on the side of the people, rule of laws and the development of the country, by insisting on NFIU guidelines. Also, the Financial institutions must be commended for strict adherence to the rules, while we praise the Unit itself for leading the way in doing a very good job.”

The Guidelines issued by the agency commenced June 1, 2019 after the governors failed to secure a court order stopping its implementation.

The agency had on May 6, 2019, issued the guideline to reduce the vulnerabilities created by cash withdrawals from local government funds throughout the country and restored the full mandate of the operations of State/Local Government Joint Accounts to be used solely for the distribution of funds directly to the accounts of the local governments.

Banks were requested to ensure the full implementation of the guidelines with effect from June 1, 2019.

Comrade Khaleel said the NFIU initiative will halt the looting of local government funds and bring about development that have been lacking under the previous system, to the local government.

“Effective regulation of arbitrary withdrawals of local government funds by state governments from the joint local government/state joint accounts by the Nigeria Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU), as we have seen with the take off now, would reduce looting of council finances,” he said.

The NULGE President described guideline as a giant step towards granting financial autonomy to local governments, saying he would do everything to see that his earlier promise to work with the relevant agencies of the Federal Government to ensure the successful implementation of the guidelines; is achieved.

“To encourage the Federal Government, President Buhari, the banks and other financial institutions and the NFIU itself, the union will train its members across the length and breadth of the country to keep eagle eyes on the operations of the funds going to local government councils henceforth. I am assuring you, we will ensure that flagrant abuse of the system and the funds is stopped,” Khaleel said.

Similarly, SSASCGOC General Secretary, Comrade Ayo Olorunfemi, applauded the agency for the initiative, adding that state governors have over the years frustrated development at the grassroots by refusing to allow financial autonomy for local government councils.

He commended President Buhari, for sanctioning the guidelines; which has renewed the faith of Nigerians and the Labour movement in the anti-corruption fight of the present government.

2019: Buhari tells Nigerians what to do to Governors who failed to pay workers salaries

2019: Buhari tells Nigerians what to do to Governors who failed to pay workers salaries

President Muhammadu Buhari has advised electorates not to re-elect governors who failed in their first terms.

Buhari said Governors who failed to pay civil servants salaries even after collecting bailouts from the federal government, should not be allowed to return to office.

The President who is the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, said Nigerians’ votes should go for competence.

Buhari spoke with the Hausa service of the Voice of America, which was aired Tuesday morning.

According to the President, he saw no justification in governors collecting bailout funds from the federal government and still failing to pay wages.

He said, “I wonder how these governors are able to sleep knowing that they have refused to pay workers their wages.

“These workers have families to cater for, they pay rent, pay school fees, Hospital bills and food for their families.”

He said the constitution of the country gives governors the independence to spend their funds without interference and that is why some are abusing that privilege by refusing to work for the people.

The president advised Nigerians to use their voting rights to make sure that they only vote for people who would deliver.

6 Tips on How to Learn Things Quickly.

6 Tips on How to Learn Things Quickly.

How do we learn things in a way that allows us to go from knowing nothing to being good in everything within a short period of time? There is one idea that keeps coming up repeatedly, “the ten thousand rules” which say, “it takes 10,000 hours to learn something”. It’s not true. The order of magnitude of going from knowing absolutely nothing to being good in knowing something is about 20 hours, not 10,000 hours.

Below are 6 steps to learn things quickly;

1. Establish your goal.

The first thing is to decide exactly what you want, what you think you will be able to do, how is it going to look like when you are done? What are you going to be able to look at and say to yourself, “I did this thing that I have always wanted to do?  The more effective way you can define exactly what you want, the easier you get closer to your goals.

2. Deconstruct the skill.

 Most of the things that we think of as skills are not really just one skill, they are bundles of smaller sub-skills that we use in combination with each other. Instead of trying to learn everything at once, try and brake it into sub-sections and practice the most important ones that that will be most useful and easier for you to do..

3. Researching.

Researching is the process of investigating or examining to seek for facts. When researching you should break your research into subsection and concentrate on the important subsection first before others. Get at least 3 to 5 books, courses, DVDs, trainers, or resources that can help you in the process of researching.

4. Remove barriers to practice.

Making it easy to sit down and do the thing you want to get better at. In our lives, we have thousands of distractions. During a practice process, turn off the TV, block the internet, close the door, turn off your cell phone. In doing this you are trying to remove the distraction that can take your focus away from whatever thing you are trying to learn.

5. Educate others

 You can learn and remember more if you teach someone else what you have learnt. What you are working on can easily be assimilated if you are sharing the idea by teaching someone else.

6. Take a study NAP

Getting sleep in-between study is very import because it helps to boost your recall ability when it comes to retaining what you learnt. During the process of sleeping your brain rest for some time, and once you wake up the brain will easily recall what you were studying initially.

UN urges peaceful, credible elections in Nigeria, others

United Nations, UN, Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, has called for peaceful, inclusive and credible elections in Nigeria.       

  Antonio Guterres

Guterres made the call in a report to the Security Council on the activities of the United Nations Office for West Africa and the Sahel, UNOWAS.

The UN chief also appealed for peace in other countries in the West African sub-region holding elections in 2019.

Noting that there had been incremental improvement in the conduct of elections in the region, Guterres said:  “However, the pre-and post-electoral periods have often been characterised by antagonistic contestations and disputes.

“I call upon authorities and national stakeholders to work together to ensure a level playing field and to create an environment conducive to the holding of peaceful, inclusive and credible elections in 2019 in Benin, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mauritania, Nigeria and Senegal.

“In Nigeria, tensions have been rising ahead of the presidential and parliamentary elections of 16 February 2019, and of the gubernatorial and state assembly elections of 2 March 20193 .

According to him, concerns were raised by the alleged instrumentalisation of security forces in recent gubernatorial elections in the country.

The UN scribe said there were also concerns in the surge in alleged vote buying, noting that challenges related to the ability of internally displaced persons, IDPs, to participate in the polls amid ongoing terrorism and violence between farmers and herders was also a concern.

The UN chief also noted what he described as “a series of high-profile defections” from one political party to the other in the country.

“In his capacity as my High-level Representative for Nigeria, my Special Representative continued consultations with key national stakeholders to promote an environment conducive to peaceful general elections in 2019.

“My Special Representative initiated and participated in a joint pre-electoral mission to Nigeria with ECOWAS and the African Union from 29 to 31 October, 2018.

In addition, a postgraduate study in the Sciences, Environmental, Mathematics, Engineering and Health science are usually funded. This means that a Nigerian that receives admission for either a Masters or PhD is these areas of postgraduate study in Canada would have a tuition free education. STEM courses receive a lot of research funds from government and institutions.

These monies is used to offset or subsidize the fees of postgraduate students who are favoured to be admitted. Only in rare cases do postgraduate students pay for their fees, in fact, PhD students even receive stipends as teaching assistants, research assistant etc. Some faculty even refuse admission to students, if there is no funds to cover the cost of education, because they don’t believe the postgraduate student should be bothered about paying from his/her pockets. Imagine, receiving a world class postgraduate education for next-to-free- compare Nigeria. Such is the benefit of studying in Canada.

Finally, it’s the Postgraduate work experience that the government of Canada gives immigrants.
