WHY POWER SECTOR CRISIS WON'T END SOON—ELECTRICITY WORKERS

There are strong indications that the power supply crisis plaguing the country may persist for a longer time as Electricity Distribution Companies, DisCos, and the generation companies, GenCos, are battling with outdated, obsolete networks, inadequate maintenance of equipment, and dilapidated generation machinery, causing below optimal capacity utilization.

Similarly, the Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, is being weighed down by twin issues of technical and socio-political factors.

Investigations revealed that the sector is suffering from low generating capacity, poor system maintenance, vandalism of electricity installations, ineffective enforcement of policies, surge in electricity demand, inadequate investment in transmission infrastructure, and technical losses hindering DisCos from off-take loads from TCN.

It also is facing the challenges of sub-standard facilities, incessant vandalism of pipelines that supply gas to stations, systemic corruption resulting in non-execution of awarded projects, under-capacity utilization, illegal connection, insufficient power allocation, huge metering gap, inappropriate network planning, huge indebtedness/low collection efficiency and maintenance of existing facilities and building of new ones.

The poor power supply is negatively affecting households, small businesses and even large businesses that depend on expensive diesel and fuel to operate their generators. Many businesses are collapsing and it is seriously causing the economy to bleed.

Speaking on the challenges, the acting General Secretary of the National Union of Electricity Employees, NUEE, Dominic Igwebike, said “The frequency of system collapse is mainly due to technical and socio-political factors.Middle Belt Monitor

JAMB ARRESTS FATHER CAUGHT WRITING EXAM FOR HIS SON

A father, whose identity remains undisclosed, has been apprehended for writing the ongoing 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) on behalf of his son. Professor Ishaq Oloyede, the Registrar of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), revealed this during his visit to Computer Based Test (CBT) centers in Kaduna state on Wednesday, April 24.

Expressing his disapproval of examination cheaters and impersonators, Oloyede highlighted the arrested father's actions as "uncalled for." According to The Nation, he lamented the parenting styles prevalent in this generation.

The JAMB boss noted that the board was able to catch the man due to its proactive measures against impersonation. He stated, "The important thing is that we are ahead of the impersonators. We have arrested a father writing examinations for his son. The kind of parenting in this generation is uncalled for. I wonder what the father will tell the son if they are locked up in the same cell. We now have the facilities to check all sorts of impersonation and other malpractices."

Oloyede expressed gratitude to parents for their support and for adhering to JAMB's instructions and guidelines, as reported by The Guardian.

FG GIVING N50,000 CHILD SUPPORT TO ALL NIGERIAN PARENTS? FACT EMERGES

ABUJA - The federal government has refuted a viral social media post claiming that it is providing a child support grant of N50,000 to every Nigerian parent. The post, which has gained traction on platforms like WhatsApp and Meta, falsely attributed the initiative to President Bola Tinubu and the suspended Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management, Betta Edu.

According to the misleading post, the Nigerian government instituted a child support scheme in response to complaints from parents about the high cost of feeding their children. It further stated that every Nigerian parent was entitled to receive N50,000 for a period of six months, with an accompanying application link.

However, the federal government has categorically denied the existence of such a program. The claim has been debunked, and officials have clarified that there is no child support grant being disbursed to Nigerian parents. The post is deemed false and misleading.

In a separate development, the Nigerian government has implemented the Presidential Conditional Grant Scheme (PCGS) as part of its Palliative Programme. This scheme aims to provide grants, without repayment obligations, to small business owners in various sectors, including trading, food services, ICT, transportation, creatives, and artisans.

The Bank of Industry, in a statement, has outlined that the PCGS targets specific demographics. Seventy percent of the scheme's beneficiaries are women and youth, while 10 percent are people with disabilities. Additionally, 5 percent of the grants are allocated to senior citizens, with the remaining 15 percent distributed among other demographics.

It is essential for the public to be cautious and verify information before sharing it, especially when it comes to social media posts. False claims and misinformation can spread rapidly, leading to confusion and false expectations among the populace.

The federal government remains committed to implementing programs and initiatives that address the needs of Nigerian citizens, particularly in areas such as healthcare, education, and entrepreneurship. However, it is important to rely on official sources and verified information to stay informed and avoid falling victim to inaccurate reports circulating on social media platforms.

FG FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DISCLOSED NUMBER OF UTME CANDIDATES THAT WILL BE ADMITTED INTO TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS

ABUJA - In a recent announcement, the Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, has disclosed that only approximately 20 percent of the candidates participating in the ongoing 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) will secure admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria. The revelation comes as the country grapples with limited slots in universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education.

With over 1.9 million UTME candidates vying for admission, the available slots are significantly outnumbered by the demand, according to a report by Premium Times. Prof. Mamman emphasized the importance of skills acquisition as a viable solution to address the challenges faced by students who are unable to secure admission.

When questioned about the fate of the remaining 80 percent of candidates, Prof. Mamman highlighted the need for skills acquisition to ensure a meaningful future for young individuals, even if they are unable to pursue tertiary education. As reported by the Nigerian Tribune, he stated, "The only solution to that is skills; by taking skills right from the time they entered school, for the primary right through the educational trajectory. Somebody should finish with one skill or another. That is part of the assumption of the 6-3-3-4."

The disclosure has sparked discussions on the importance of diversifying educational paths and promoting vocational training alongside traditional academic pursuits. By equipping students with practical skills, the government aims to create opportunities for personal and professional growth, irrespective of tertiary education outcomes.

As the UTME continues, candidates and their families are urged to consider alternative pathways to success, such as technical and vocational training programs that can equip individuals with valuable skills aligned with the demands of the job market.

The government's emphasis on skills acquisition reflects a broader recognition of the evolving needs of the workforce and the importance of empowering young Nigerians to thrive in various sectors of the economy. With limited spaces available in tertiary institutions, the focus has shifted towards fostering a comprehensive and inclusive education system that prepares students for diverse career paths.

As the education landscape continues to evolve, stakeholders are encouraged to explore innovative approaches to education and training, ensuring that every individual has the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to society, regardless of their educational trajectory.

I WILL RESIGN IF YAHAYA BELLO IS NOT PROSECUTED — EFCC CHAIRMAN

The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Olu Olukoyede, has vowed to ensure investigations into the alleged N80.2 billion fraud case against former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello.

Olukoyede, who made the attestation during a chat with journalists at the commission’s headquarters, said he would throw in the towel if Bello is not prosecuted.

He disclosed that the embattled former governor withdrew $720,000 from the government account to a Bureau de Change to pay for his child’s school fees in advance.

‘If I do not personally oversee the completion of the investigation regarding Yahaya Bello, I will tender my resignation as the EFCC Chairman,” Mr Olukoyede said.

He added that all those who obstructed the arrest of the former governor would be brought to book.

“I’m very passionate about the need for us to move forward in this country.

“A sitting governor moved $720,000 directly from the government account to the Bureau de Change and used it to pay for the school fees of his child in advance in a poor state like Kogi, and you want me close my eyes under the guise that I’m being used. Use by who ? at this stage of my life? By who for crying out loud?

“I didn’t initiate the case, I inherited the case file.

The EFCC Chairman also said he made a direct phone call to the former governor out of respect, urging him to appear before the commission and address the allegations against him.

He, however, said Mr Bello declined the invitation and rather told the operatives to meet him in his hometown.

“On my own, I put a call across to him, which ordinarily I’m not supposed to do, just to honour him as an immediate past governor,” he said.

LAUTECH DISOWNS VICTIM OF POLICE SHOOTING

The management of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) Ogbomoso has declared that a resident who was allegedly killed by a policeman is not a student of the university.

Public Relations Officer of the university, Mr. Akin Fadeyi made this declaration while speaking with DAILY POST Tuesday night.

Middle Belt Monitor has earlier reported that a student was killed by a policeman, while two others were injured.

But, Fadeyi in his reaction said that the incident did not happen within the institution.

“According to what we had, the incident occurred around 2 am, it did not occur in the institution, it happened in a club and in LAUTECH we don’t have a club or hotel.

“They were fighting and the student who got killed is not our student. So, what happened had nothing to do with LAUTECH. It has nothing to do with our convocation.

“Information from town was that some people got engaged at a nightclub, far from the university premises, during which one of them got killed,” he said.

KSP-EFCC PROTEST, HEIGHT OF IRRESPONSIBILITY: WHAT YOU SEE WHEN A POLITICIAL PUPPET IS RECTOR

There were rumors that students of Kogi State Polytechnic were made to come to school, with attendance taken to participate in a protest against EFCC in regards to Yahaya Bello-EFCC case.

The authenticity of the rumours are yet to be made but the fact remains that students of the institution participated in a protest against EFCC, a protest that the school administration allowed to take place right in front of the school entrance. An institution with a Rector in person of Dr Usman Ogbo.

This is what happens when important positions as such are given as compensation for election supports and Aluta-ism, rather than merit and academic qualifications.

Students were sent by their parents to school to learn but they are being used as instruments to fight against lawful government agencies in support of an individual who couldn't stand before the law to prove his innocency.

HOW YAHAYA BELLO DECLINED EFCC’s INVITATION FOR INTERROGATION

The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mr Ola Olukoyede has disclosed that he made personal efforts to invite a former governor of Kogi State, Mr. Yahaya Adoza Bello to respond to investigations regarding his alleged involvement in money laundering to the tune of N80,246,470,089.88 (Eighty Billion, Two Hundred and Forty Six Million, Four Hundred and Seventy Thousand and Eighty Nine Naira, Eighty Eight Kobo).

Olukoyede stated this in Abuja on Tuesday, April 23, 2024 while addressing media executives at the Corporate Headquarters of the EFCC. According to him, he had a telephone conversation with Bello offering him ample opportunities to present himself for interrogation by investigators of the EFCC.

“On my honour, I put a call to him to honour him as a former governor. He said, I can’t come, claiming that a certain lady has surrounded the EFCC with over 100 Journalists to embarrass or intimidate him and all that stuff. I said if that is your fear, I will make you come directly to my floor. I will invite my operatives to interrogate you in my own office. What could be more honourable than that? Do you know what he said? ‘ Can’t they come to my village?’ My Director of Investigations also sent a message to him”, he said.

The EFCC’s boss said he was worried at the report of larceny available to the EFCC concerning the former governor. “A sitting governor, because he knew he was going, he moved money directly from the government’s account to a bureau de change to pay his children’s school fees in advance, $720, 000 in anticipation that he was going to leave government house”, he said.

Olukoyede also disclosed that the EFCC, in its bid to ensure the safety and stability of the foreign exchange market, has uncovered a new fraudulent scheme called P to P, peer to peer trading scheme. The platform, according to him, is operating outside the official banking and financial corridors ,with more than 300( three hundred) accounts linked to it already frozen by the EFCC.

He reaffirmed the commitment of the Commission to the economic growth and development of the country, promising that the EFCC would not relent in the exercise of its mandate. He told the media executives that the Commission has recovered more than N120billion from fraudsters within six months and secured more than 1300 convictions.

He called on Nigerians to be more dedicated to the nation, insisting that patriotic Nigerians should offer more support to the EFCC because the Commission is crucial to the growth and development of Nigeria. ‘’If you support the EFCC, you are working for the growth of Nigeria. We all have stakes in the wellbeing of our nation”, he said.

YAHAYA BELLO: HE MOVED BILLIONS HIMSELF FROM POOR STATE LIKE KOGI. EFCC CHAIRMAN

23/04/2024

BREAKING: KOGI STATE ASSEMBLY DEMANDS REMOVAL OF GOVERNOR YAHAYA BELLO'S NAME FROM EFCC WANTED LIST

In a significant development during Tuesday's plenary session, the Kogi State Assembly passed a resolution urging the removal of Governor Yahaya Bello's name from the list of individuals wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The decision came after Jibrin Abu, the House member representing Ajaokuta State Constituency, presented a pressing public concern for discussion.

Abu, in a written plea titled 'A plea to cease the baseless, frivolous, and untrue smear campaign against former Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello,' strongly asserted that the anti-corruption agency had unfairly targeted Bello.

Highlighting the financial status of Kogi State, Abu stated, "Kogi State, by allocation standard, is not rich so much so that N80.4 billion will be missing that the State will not be shaken to its foundation. This claim by the EFCC should be sanctioned and taken as laughable. Innocent Nigerians and Kogi State citizens who bought into the lies should withdraw their support voluntarily."

The House member's plea emphasized that the allegations against Governor Yahaya Bello were baseless, frivolous, and lacked truth. He called for a fair assessment of the situation and urged the EFCC to reconsider its actions.

The resolution passed by the Kogi State Assembly signifies a collective stance against what they perceive as an unjust targeting of Governor Bello. It is expected to exert pressure on the EFCC to review their investigation and reconsider the inclusion of Bello's name on the wanted list.

This development has sparked a heated debate among political commentators and citizens, with some expressing support for the Assembly's position, while others believe that the EFCC's actions are justified and necessary to combat corruption.

The Kogi State Assembly's resolution will now be forwarded to appropriate channels for further consideration and necessary action. The outcome of this process will determine whether Governor Yahaya Bello's name will be removed from the EFCC wanted list, potentially shaping the future of his political career.

EFCC: I’M AFRAID OF ARREST – YAHAYA BELLO FINALLY SPEAKS OUT

The former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, stated his readiness to appear before the Federal High Court in Abuja to address the 19-count charge filed against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Although Bello was not present for his arraignment, his legal team represented him in court on Tuesday.

Adeola Adedipe, SAN, a member of his legal team, informed the court that Bello would have attended the proceedings himself but was apprehensive about a pending arrest order.

Adedipe, SAN, urged the court to revoke the earlier issued ex parte arrest order against the former governor.

He argued that when the arrest order was issued, the charges had not been officially served to his client as required by law.

It was only during the Tuesday session that the court approved the service of the charges to the defendant through his lawyer.

“The defendant wants to come to court but he is afraid that there is an order of arrest hanging on his head,” Adedipe, SAN, submitted.

Consequently, he urged the court to set aside the exparte order of arrest it earlier issued against the former governor.

Adedipe, SAN, contended that as at the time the order of arrest was made, the charge had not been served on his client as required by the law.

He noted that it was only at the resumed proceedings on Tuesday that the court okayed substituted service of the charge on the defendant, through his lawyer.

“As at the time the warrant was issued, the order for substituted service had not been made. That order was just made this morning.

“A warrant of arrest should not be hanging on his neck when we leave this court,” counsel to the defendant added.

UNN PROFESSOR CAUGHT IN SCANDALOUS MISCONDUCT WITH STUDENT

In a shocking incident at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), a professor has been apprehended while attempting to engage in sexual activity with one of his married female students. The accused individual, identified as Prof Mfonobong Udoudom, hails from Akwa Ibom state.

According to reports, the young professor's impulsive desire for a few moments of pleasure led to his downfall. It has been revealed that he had been pressuring the student for sexual favors in exchange for academic marks, refusing any alternative compensation such as monetary payment.

However, little did Prof Udoudom know that the married student had devised a plan to expose his inappropriate behavior. She promptly informed her husband, who happened to be the Dean of Students, along with the school security and other authorities. Together, they orchestrated a sting operation to catch the professor red-handed during the student's visit to fulfill his illicit demands.

The incident has sent shockwaves through the university community, tarnishing the reputation of Prof Mfonobong Udoudom and causing significant unrest among students and faculty. This reprehensible act has not only violated the trust bestowed upon educators but has also highlighted the need for stringent measures to prevent such misconduct from occurring within academic institutions.

The UNN administration is expected to launch a thorough investigation into the matter, and appropriate disciplinary actions will be taken against Prof Udoudom in accordance with the university's policies and Nigerian law.

INSECURITY IS DECLINING SINCE TERRORISTS CAN'T AFFORD AK-47 RIFLE'S COST, NOW AT N5MILLION—NSA
