Subsidy strike: NLC accuses suspended Abia chairman of sabotage
On January 26, 2012 · In News

BY ANAYO OKOLI

UMUAHIA—THE national leadership of Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has suspended the chairman of Abia State chapter of the congress, Comrade Silvanus Eyeh, for alleged sabotage during the week-long strike declared by NLC to protest removal of oil subsidy by the Federal Government.

In his stead, Abia State chapter of the NLC yesterday elected Comrade C.C. Ebeniro, 1st Vice Chairman of the congress, to act as the chairman.

Eyeh was accused of not properly managing the NLC/TUC strike in the state and was accused of having worked against the strike.

Though Abia workers did not engage in any protest or rally during the strike, Eyeh’s trouble started on the third day of  the industrial action when Labour/TUC planned to hold a rally at School Road Primary School, Umuahia.

NLC/TUC members in response to radio announcement on the planned rally had gathered at the venue as directed and waited for hours for Eyeh and other leaders to arrive.

While they were waiting, words got to them that Eyeh and other leaders were called for a meeting at Government House by Governor Theodore Orji to appeal to them to cancel their planned rally/protest.

After the meeting, Eyeh emerged at the venue and announced to the disappointment and anger of the waiting workers that they should all go home and that the planned rally had been shelved.

The action infuriated the workers who attacked him and wanted to lynch him, but he escaped through the assistance of passers-by who hurriedly ferried him away.

The action of the suspended NLC chairman did not go down well with the headquarters of Labour which ordered his suspension.

By Abdulwahab  Abdulah

The Inspector General of Police, IGP, has urged an Ikeja High court to vacate an order directing him to pay N500,000 compensation for unlawful detention to Bishop  Kayode Williams, Director General, Prison Rehabilitation Mission International, PREMI.

The IGP’s request was contained in a motion by Mr. Abraham Fadipe, his counsel, who asked the court to lift the order on the ground that the court lacked the jurisdiction to entertain the case.

Williams had asked the court to award damages against the police for unlawful arrest and detention, where the court awarded N500,000 against the respondent.

Other respondents in the suit are the Lagos State Commissioner of Police and Mr Bashiru Kehinde.
When the matter came up, yesterday, the police IG also informed the court that its order was procured wrongfully, because the police was not put on notice.

The police, urging the court to vacate  the order for payment of compensation, contended that the applicant was under investigation in a case reported by the National Industrial Court, Lagos, following some exhibits found in his laptop.

Reps task NOA on enlightenment
On January 26, 2012 · In News

By Caleb Ayansina

ABUJA – CHAIRMAN, House Committee on Information and National Orientation, Omar Buba Jubril, has charged National Orientation Agency, NOA, to educate Nigerians on how to be vigilant in the wake of unrest created by Boko Haram in the country.

Jubril, who gave the charge when the committee visited the Director-General of the agency, Mr. Michael Omeri, on oversight function in Abuja, said people needed to know what to do in case of any suspicious movement around them.

The committee members, in a separate contribution, noted that the agency was diminishing in terms of efficiency, just as they challenged the new management to make use of their mega budget to earn the support of not only the lawmakers, but also Nigerians.

They said people could not feel the impact of the agency in the state and local levels, thereby preventing them from making meaningful inputs into government policy.

He said: “The reflection is what we witnessed in the last subsidy protest in the country. NOA as it is known in those days, longer exist. It is rather diminishing.

“I hope your administration will bring back the vibrancy. If you do not do your work, you don’t expect proper funding. But the little funds you have, make the best use of it.

“There must be a message. Find a way to drive it. The country has to be known with something. The impact of NOA is not felt at the state and local levels.”

Uwazuruike using MASSOB to exploit Igbos, Biafran group alleges
On January 26, 2012 · In News

BY VINCENT UJUMADU

AWKA- ANOTHER  group agitating for the actualization of Biafra, the Biafra Zionist Movement, yesterday accused leader of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, of exploiting Igbos and misleading them in the name of championing the struggle for the actualization of Biafra Republic.

Leader of the group, Mr. Benjamin Onwuka, who addressed newsmen with members of his group, said MASSOB had been cashing in on the ignorance of the people and using the struggle for the Biafra Republic to make money for themselves.

According to him, Uwazuruike knows that he is not going about the struggle the right way that would lead to the actualization of the new republic.

He  added that the right thing to do was to get the international community to support the struggle, which his group was doing.

He said:  “We must get the support of the United States of America to be able to undermine the United Kingdom who do not want us to be free, and as I talk to you now, the process is in place”.

There is no way you can split an oil producing nation without the knowledge of the USA, this is a country that buys more oil from Nigeria than we consume.

“We cannot divide this country without being in the foreign media and making the USA see reasons why they should support our secession bid”, he said.

But the Director of Information of MASSOB, Mr. Uchenna Madu, who reacted to Onwuka’s allegation, accused the group of being sponsored by government to cause confusion among the Igbo.

He said MASSOB remained the foremost organization working for the actualization of Biafra, adding, however, that his group would not stop any organization with genuine intentions for the support of the cause.

Madu said:  “MASSOB represents the most genuine interest of Ndigbo and has maintained consistency in the hands of the Nigerian government persecutions, torture, detention, imprisonment.

“Uwazuruike has paid a lot sacrifices for the sake of Ndigbo. He has no match. Agitations are not done on pages of newspapers. Ndigbo should ignore Onwuka and his group because they are looking for cheap popularity.”

Delta boosts primary education with 10 model schools
On January 26, 2012 · In News

Delta State Government is constructing 10 new model primary schools in the state to upgrade primary education and expose pupils early in life to electronic learning and academic excellence.

The state governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, who disclosed this yesterday while inspecting construction work in one of the primary schools in Asaba, said the schools would be completed in April, but would not start functioning until September because of the school calendar.

He said: “The model primary schools will be ready by April but they will not take off until around September because of the school calendar. We are indeed working hard to upgrade primary education.”

Dr. Uduaghan disclosed that the model primary schools would comprise nursery and primary sections and teachers for the schools would be trained by the British Council and donor agencies.

He said although primary schools are the responsibility of local governments, the model primary schools will be funded and run by the state government so that the burden would not be too much for local governments to bear.

The governor explained that when the schools become functional, the standard obtainable would be comparable to some of the best in the world.

Akingbola faults EFCC over call to disqualify trial judge
On January 26, 2012 · In News

By Innocent Anaba & Chinenye Uduagbala

LAGOS – Mr Erastus Akingbola, former Managing Director of Intercontinental Bank, yesterday, insisted that it was unethical for Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to seek to disqualify the current judge trying the charge against him before the Federal High Court in Lagos.

Akingbola is standing trial for alleged grant of unsecured loans and abuse of office, before Justice Archibong.

The commission had in an application, asked the trial judge, to disqualify himself from further hearing the matter, accusing him (judge) of bias in the manner he was conducting the case.

Akingbola in a counter-affidavit to the application, averred that it would be unjust and inequitable to grant EFCC’s request, as it would amount to allowing the anti-graft agency  pick and choose the judge to handle a matter in which it is a party.

He contended that the EFCC’s application was filed in bad faith and was an abuse of court process, because the allegation of bias raised against the judge was in respect of another civil matter he had earlier filed to protect his fundamental human rights against the abuse of power by EFCC and wondered why what happened in another different matter entirely would be transferred to the criminal matter.

At the hearing of the matter, yesterday, EFCC’s counsel told the court that there was a pending application seeking to transfer the case to another judge, but that Akingbola’s counsel just served them a counter-affidavit and written address to the application in court.
