a disgrace to Yoruba race – Chief Babatunde Olorogun-Etti Ayo Adebanjo

Ayo Adebanjo, a disgrace to Yoruba race – Chief Babatunde Olorogun-Etti

Lagos Chief, Babatunde Olorogun-Etti, on Monday, described the action of the leader of pan Yoruba sociopolitical group, Afenifere, Chief Ayo Adebanjo as regrettable and a betrayal of All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential hopeful, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and the South-West geo-political zone.

‘’Chief Ayo Adebanjo is a disgrace to the Yoruba race. His utterances and attitude are geared towards causing disunity in Yoruba land’’ Olorogun-Etti said.

In a statement in Lagos Island Ward E3, Olorogun-Etti accused Adebanjo of fanning embers of discord in the region, cutting a very bad image for South-West and using Afenifere for self-promotion.

‘’What is Pa Ayo Adebanjo’s contribution towards Yoruba’s progress and economy? Why is he pulling a Yoruba man down? The Afenifere leader belongs to a faction that wants to destroy the Yoruba nation. His commitment is not to the unity and development of Yoruba but an interest outside the region’’.

Olorogun-Etti, who is the leader of Eko United, a leading political group in Lagos State described Adebanjo’s comment on the 2023 presidency as shocking, repulsive, and ugly.

He described Tinubu as a man of character, competence and credibility.

‘’Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a true leader of democracy, a role model, a suave politician, a visionary leader, bridge builder and man of impeccable credentials. We are blessed to have him in the South-West’’

He eulogized the former Lagos State governor for his competence, courage and the constancy in his conviction and political choices.

‘’Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is an asset to Nigeria. He has a track record of success’’

The Lagos APC leader urged South west politicians and leaders to project the agenda of the region to counter the negative picture being presented by Adebanjo.

‘’The way forward for the country is to make Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu president in 2023’

ABUMET UPSCALES TO HIGHER QUALITY STANDARDS RECEIVES ISO 9001

ABUMET UPSCALES TO HIGHER QUALITY STANDARDS, RECEIVES ISO 9001

Nigeria’s leading aluminium and glass service provider and a member of the Julius Berger Plc Group, Abumet, has been presented with the ISO 9001: 2015 Certification.

 

The ISO 9001:2015 certificate, which was presented to the company on Wednesday the 27th of April, 2022, is the international gold standard for business practices and quality management, and is only obtainable through thorough and comprehensive technical audits. The audit was carried out by DQS Management Systems Solutions, a globally renowned and leading quality management systems (QMS) certification body reputed for premium international standard benchmarking, technical impartiality, competence, responsibility, openness, and impeccable ethical business practices.

 

As an initiative of the International Organisation for Standardization (ISO), one of the key philosophies of ISO Certifications is to provide an international model that will broadly improve every aspect of businesses and organisations worldwide, with a view to enhance customer satisfaction and guarantee a proper return on investment for business stakeholders. The ISO 9001:2015 is especially focused on businesses and organisations’ ability to withstand a wide range of business risks through effective quality management systems.

 

In an interview, after handing over the certificate to Abumet, the Country Director, DQS Nigeria, Mr. Lawrence Ogudu expressed DQS’ satisfaction with the quality systems that Abumet has in place to meet customers’ requirements. He explained that, “the ISO 9001: 2015 is at the height of management systems because it puts in place the superstructure for every management system, and this certification is for Abumet a clear statement that it has implemented a management system to ensure that it can deliver quality to its customers consistently”.

 

Lawrence Ogudu further stated that “Abumet has put in place an effective and efficient process which enables it to determine customers’ requirements”, adding that “Abumet possesses the knowhow, the infrastructure, and the competent personnel required to consistently fulfil these requirements at all times. Of course, business is about meeting customers’ requirements, and when customers are satisfied, there is trust, which is what quality is all about”.

 

On his part, Abumet’s General Manager, Mr. Alexander Hausner described the feat as, “a big milestone in terms of improvement to the entire company, in every single department, coordinating interfaces and the improvement of quality”. Hausner further said that: “…in terms of customer services, the ISO 9001 not only demonstrates our ability but is also an excellent guideline for constant improvement of customer satisfaction regarding quality and reliability”.

 

Abumet’s General Manager ascribed their success to a dedicated staff and committed management team whose collaborative efforts brought about the milestone achievement. In his words, “…the responsibility for the success belongs to the entire company, we all worked hard to get the certification, and every personnel of the company followed the rules of the ISO 9001 accordingly. Therefore, as I said, it is a big success for the entire company and not only the management. For every single member of Abumet, this is a big success and we are all very proud of the achievement”.

 

Commenting on the ISO certification of Abumet, Engr. Emeka Ejike, who is the Corporate Quality Manager for the Julius Berger Group, explained that the company’s excitement about this certification is not limited to the certificate itself, but summed up in the customer satisfaction that comes along with it. According to Emeka, “Abumet in its 31 years of operation has had outstandingly dynamic management processes in place to guarantee its commitment to the satisfaction of its clients. The ISO certification further consolidates this commitment, as well as reinforces the company’s assurance of consistency in superior performance”.

 

Narrating the efforts towards the certification Emeka Ejike said, “the journey to this laudable achievement began about 14 months ago when we applied for the certification and had to reorganise the processes and systems at various levels of the organisation, which include the management process, documentation, product realisation, business and operational support, management system maintenance and improvement processes, etcetera”. Emeka added that “…with this strategic certification, Abumet, as a dynamic offspring of the iconic Julius Berger brand, shall continue to maintain the Julius Berger group’s corporate tradition of excellence and progressively build on what it has achieved”.

 

Abumet Nigeria Ltd is an experienced, full-service aluminium and glass provider with the resources to deliver a range of building construction solutions. It holds a corporate culture of quality, integrity, innovation, and productive collaborations even as it remains ever customer-focused. The company has the vision to be the innovative market leader for aluminium and glass solutions for the West African market.

Tinuke Davies-Kesington decries women marginalization in politics

Tinuke Davies-Kesington decries women marginalization in politics

  • Urges voters to reject ineffective representatives
  • Calls for collaboration
  • Proffers solution to insecurity

Diaspora Woman leader, Tinubu Support Organisation and Matron, Asiwaju Volunteers Groups, Baroness Tinuke Davies-Kesington on Friday complained about the perceived marginalization of women in Nigeria, saying the women are not having a fair deal in the country’s politics.

‘’ I will say first, that women, being the majority in the population, are not adequately represented in Politics in Nigeria, especially when we look at the important roles that women fulfill in society at large. Yet women have significant influence in politics, as the electorate, as well as in areas such as campaigning and fundraising. Nigerian women, regardless of ethnic and tribal background, are for the most part entrepreneurs. From the woman in the market, to the multi million naira event planner, entrepreneurialism is what defines the Nigerian woman’’.

Speaking to journalists in Lagos, Davies Kessington stated that the cry of marginalization of women in Nigeria’s politics underscored the imperative of women seeing politics as a calling and service to nation and the people.

‘’To be direct, Women in Nigeria have not involved themselves more fully in politics. It is seen as a game for men, seeking power, which of course is a wrong perspective to have, but nevertheless, this is how politics is viewed. Nigerian women focus their energies on being entrepreneurs rather than politics. This is purely a pragmatic choice, as survival and providing for one’s family comes first.  Women in Nigeria must see politics as a calling for those who wish to serve their fellow citizens and make life better’’.

Davies-Kessington, a strong supporter of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, maintained that no matter the setback suffered by the pro-gender bill aimed at increasing women’s participation in governance and representation, the future of women in Nigeria is bright.

‘’I know that a large number of women, who have interest in Politics, would have been discouraged, and disheartened by what happened with the bill in March 2022. Those who voted against increased representation of women in politics, probably even hoped for women to be discouraged. However, I want women in Nigeria to really think.  We do not need permission to engage in politics in Nigeria. The goal of politics is to solve existential problems. Women have a large population, and we therefore constitute a large proportion of the electorate. We are the ones that vote politicians into power. We already have the numbers. We just need to organise.  We do not need permission. In fact, I think that if we engage in politics, with true enthusiasm, and actively seek to solve the numerous problems in Nigeria that affect us as women, and consequently families, then more qualified and capable women will become an integral part of politics. That would be a good thing’’

She spoke on culture, religion and the need to balance the scheme of things in Nigeria

‘’Women, in Nigeria can equate the balance. Nigerian women function in very high pressure environments. We are mothers, business owners, wives, home managers. We take care of family, and extended family, we negotiate, we teach, we counsel. There is so much that we do as women.  And yet, we are able to function at the highest levels, and this is done through balancing all that we do. We do this naturally, and in the field of politics, women can bring a healthy balance. Women are able to see the best way to manage details, and see how to resolve issues through collaboration. Nigerian women will always bring balance, as we naturally collaborate, and seek synergy, rather than think in terms of competition, or power. That is how many men see things, and that is what works for them. The balance will come in the grand scheme of things in Nigeria, when women move forward with confidence, and show the attributes we have that will benefit the political system in Nigeria’’.

The Bola Tinubu’s campaigner stated that the women should not be taken for granted any longer.

‘’Nigeria is a democratic country. Protest and dissenting voices have a right to be heard, especially where there is hurt, anger, or discontent. It must be encouraged. Women in Nigeria need to think deeply. We have numbers and influence over the electorate. We only need to organize, aggregate our numbers, and put forward or support those representatives for electoral positions that support women, and the issues that are important to them. There is no rule that says that these representatives have to be men. The political field is also open to women. Political positions are open to Nigerian women. All it takes is proper organisation’’.

She suggested that current moves to increase women participation in politics should include strategy and collaboration.

‘’I am working with capable women, who are actively involved in politics in Nigeria. I am mentoring young women who are interested in engaging in politics. I am working directly with very competent men, in Nigeria, politicians who advocate and support increased women’s participation in the political system in Nigeria. I am working with a number of organizations who are devising procedures and policies that will encourage more female engagement in politics at both the local and national levels in Nigeria. There is a lot of work I am doing, but I am not doing it alone. It is only through strategy, and collaboration, that Nigerian women can get more involved, and actually do the real work that politics entails’’.

She harped on the need for appropriate organization.

‘’A large majority of Nigerian women are entrepreneurs. We are natural capitalists. The most important thing that Nigerian women can do, in the field of politics, is to organise. Once organised, we as women, can then focus directly on the issues at hand. Money in politics is just one aspect of the electoral process, as countless aspirants and would be politicians in Nigeria have found out. There is more to it, and Nigerian women know this. Money is just one aspect. Women being organised in Nigeria, is more powerful than money, or a political process that has been monetised’’.

She stated that the main challenges before the current administration were economy and insecurity.

‘’Security is a core issue for Nigeria. Everyone is affected, and the very viability of Nigeria as a country and a functional democracy, hangs in the balance because of security, or rather the lack of it.  Terrorism, robbery and murder have no place in a country that boasts such deep, ancient cultures, and highly intelligent and educated people. The lack of security in Nigeria, the loss of life, rampant kidnappings, is destroying the image of Nigeria on the World stage. Nigeria lacks a real tourism industry, because there is a lack of security. Direct foreign investment, outside of the oil and gas industry, is severely limited because of the perceived risk that Nigeria has become. Insecurity is not a new thing in Nigeria. Homes in Nigeria are built like prisons, complete with high walls, steel doors and metal bars on the windows. No one in Ghana or Togo has to live like prisoners in their own homes the way Nigerians do. People in Nigeria are used to living in fear and insecurity. They are so used to it, that they no longer realize just how much fear they have’’

The Diaspora APC leader also made fresh case for proper intelligence gathering, outreach in the communities, where criminals and terrorists come from, in order to prevent further recruitment and social policy to help support young people and put them into positive alternative activities.

‘’The so-called “Giant of Africa”, is now being laughed at, and being described as a pig, wallowing in its own dirt and filth. This is unacceptable, and it has led to Nigerians that live abroad openly insulting the home country in front of outsiders. No Nigerian that lives abroad, no matter what tribe they are from, generally has anything good to say about Nigeria. It has become the norm to curse Nigeria.  This is shameful for a Country with so much potential, to become a leading nation in the world. This has to do with insecurity, and the economy. For Nigeria to move ahead, in a world that is becoming ever more technologically advanced, Security has to be at the forefront of every Nigeria’s mind, both at home, and in the diaspora. It is the volatile security in Nigeria that acts as an impediment for people to return to Nigeria and contribute. All too often, we hear of victims, and it keeps getting worse. Just look at the full scale military attacks, killings and kidnappings of women and girls in the North of the Country. Look at the murder, kidnapping and robbery in the South of the country. This is unacceptable. But sadly, Nigerians are used to living with, and adapting to unacceptable conditions’’

She also tasked the security agencies on information sharing.

‘’There is a need for better information sharing between different agencies such as the Police and the military, and between different regions. There must be a network of correct information gathering, so that we know who the enemy is, how they are financed, who supports them, where they live, who they are related to, who they associate with. To destroy an enemy, you must know the enemy. There must be a shift in the mindset of security agents in Nigeria. The Police, military and others must become more motivated, and undertake more training in intelligence gathering, investigation and counter terrorism, so that they can perform their duties more effectively’’

She emphasized severe penalties for high level criminals, and terrorists, as well as those associated with them.

‘’There is need for punitive and financial penalties for anyone that supports any form of criminality and terrorism. Government must be bold and robust in labeling terrorists, armed robbers and kidnappers as what they are: They are enemies of every tribe and every person in Nigeria. They are enemies and need to be seen as such. The communities need to ostracize them. If the country’s economy is to grow, Nigeria needs security, if the population is to live freely. Nigeria needs security, if it is to be taken seriously as a leading nation in Africa, Nigeria needs security. If Nigeria’s security situation gets worse, while politicians look on, our country will not only be laughed at, but every Nigerian, of every tribe, will be looked down upon, as incompetent human beings, who cannot even live safely within our borders. Robust strategies must be employed to keep citizens safe. Anything less, will be failure, and spell doom for the nation and the citizens’’.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain advised those aspiring for political positions in 2023 to focus on the country’s security challenges.

‘’The agenda for any new administration must be robust and strategic. There must be competent information gathering and outreach for the disaffected communities that terrorists, kidnappers, and armed robbers come from. There must be stronger legislation to punish offenders and willingness by the government to boldly assert that groups that advocate violence against people or the state, through actions, words or symbols, are terrorists and criminals and they must be punished as such. Armed robbers and kidnappers must be targeted relentlessly’’

She also appealed to the electorate not to elect ineffective representatives in 2023

‘’Nigeria can win the battle of insecurity when the mindset shifts from it being a battle, to it being a war. There must be a war waged against insecurity and Nigerians must hold every single politician, police officer, and military officer accountable. The politicians must lead, and be held accountable for keeping citizens safe. If they fail to do this, then Nigerian citizens must be brave enough to ensure that they no longer elect ineffective representatives. Nigerians will continue to live like prisoners, if security is not made a core issue by the incoming government’’.

APC Northern leaders caution Soyinka on Omisore

Northern leaders caution Soyinka on Omisore, APC

omisore 1

 

Stakeholders in the politics of the North-East geo-political zone on Thursday reacted to the spate of criticisms and outright falsehood against the National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Iyiola Omisore, saying it was in bad faith.

 

The leaders described Omisore as a man of profound moral rectitude.

 

The leaders in a statement in Damaturu, capital of Yobe State, said influential Yoruba leaders should rise in condemnation of the uncomplimentary remarks on Omisore, crude propaganda and the obviously desperate moves to please his paymaster, a former South-South Governor and a major donor to the Nobel laureate’s organisation that twisted the minds of many young Nigerians most of whom are now adults regretting toeing the path of Prof Soyinka in their teenage years.

 

‘’The current posturing of Prof. Wole Soyinka is totally in bad taste and drips with malice .He is attacking Omisore on account of the inability of his benefactor to hijack the national leadership of the party, which he fears will deny the former South-South governor the opportunity to become the presidential candidate of the party without any positive track record of performance in governance.

 

The statement by the chairman of North-East Unity and Advancement Forum (NEUAF), Alhaji Ibrahim Musa, commended the APC National Secretary for his invaluable contributions to Nigeria’s development and the challenging task of nation-building.

 

‘’Senator Omisore is a patriot, a thinker and a fighter for good causes’’

 

The statement cited Omisore for honesty, industry and patriotism.

 

The group also praised President Muhammadu Buhari and the esteemed members of the ruling party for electing Omisore the party’s National Secretary.

 

The statement emphasized Omisore’s rich and inspiring profile, meritorious services to the nation and humanity, peaceful disposition and gentility.

 

The leaders accused Soyinka of dabbling into politics, threatening thunder against Omisore, whilst encouraging mediocrity and protecting a former South-South governor for supporting him in the last ten years.

 

‘’We know the tactics of Wole Soyinka. He likes to grandstand as an independent man. Many believe he is speaking for the people, campaigning for good governance and quality leadership while the reverse is the case. There are many questions begging for answers in Soyinka’s relationship with the ex-South-South governor for anyone to take him seriously’’

 

‘’Wole Soyinka knows that his sponsor is a weakling who obviously finds himself where he doesn’t belong’’

 

They argued that Soyinka’s recent remark on Omisore was borne out of selfishness but warns that Nigeria is not for sale.

‘’The energy and vigour with which Soyinka undertook a fierce political crusade against the APC National Secretary left no one in doubt that his target was to divide the ruling party, draw Omisore into a controversy and then distract him’’

 

The leaders urged Soyinka to stop chasing shadows that would definitely not help the cause of a current minister and former governor in the South-South geo-political zone.

 

‘’We have watched in astonishment how Soyinka turned himself into such a burden to the former South-South governor’’

 

Wole Soyinka recently lashed out at Omisore on account of the choice of the ruling party to elect the former Osun State deputy governor its National Secretary.

South-South women drum support for Akpabio

South-South women on Friday described the threat to issue a warrant of arrest against Senator Godswill Akpabio as a ploy to coerce the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs to toe an odd line and the Federal Government into accepting to pay for inflated, bogus and fictitious projects in the past.

‘’This is a threatening measure designed to retard the progress of the region, strip the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) of the transparency qualities it had developed in the last two years and return it to its most corrupt days’’.

They also commended stakeholders in the Niger Delta region for joining hands with Akpabio to lift the region high.

In a statement in Asaba by the spokesperson of the South-South Women Political Front (SSWPF), Dr. Doris Ogba, the women described Akpabio as a transformational figure, towering statesman and a visionary hero.

They commended the former Akwa Ibom State governor for initiating programmes and projects that directly benefited the people in various areas such as security, health, education, roads, housing, electrification, transportation, agriculture and tourism

The well respected women applauded Akpabio for redirecting the region on to the path of development.

‘’Senator Godswill Akpabio is a thoughtful, decent and progressive fellow. His humility is boundless’’.

Particularly, the women scolded political detractors for throwing sand in the gears of the current administration to transform the region, making misleading statements and orchestrating a campaign of calumny against Akpabio, with a view to impugn his integrity.

The statement emphasized Akpabio’s politics of performance, virtue in waiting, deep appetite for change, rapid infrastructure development and peace in the Niger Delta region.

‘’The Wailing Women of the Niger Delta, The Integrity Friends for Truth and Peace Initiative (TIFPI) and others are spoilers’’ the statement added.

Fuel Crisis: APC is Kneeling on the Necks of Nigerians- PDP

…Slams Buhari for Abdication of Duties

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) cautions the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration to note that its unrelenting culture of arrogance, impunity and criminal pillaging of our national resources is akin to kneeling on the necks of Nigerians.

The PDP warns that there is a limit to what the people can bear under an administration that remains arrogant, inhumane, unconcerned and insensitive to their plights occasioned by its misrule.

Is it not an unpardonable dereliction of duty that while the nation is in turmoil and agonizing under a collapsed national grid, protracted fuel crisis, distressed aviation sector, plummeting currency, crippled production and commercial activities, President Muhammadu Buhari remains aloof and “absent” as always?

The failure by President Buhari, who also doubles as the Minister of Petroleum Resources to take immediate action, other than the snobbish stance by his Presidency that “heavens will not fall” because of fuel scarcity amounts to daring Nigerians to do their worse.

It is often said that when a government abdicates its responsibility to the citizens at whose pleasure it should serve, then that government is complicit in the suffering of its people and a beneficiary of their woes.

Sadly today, thousands of Small and Medium Scale Enterprises; the drivers of the economy are folding up daily, industries are relocating to neighboring countries, universities are on strike, the aviation sector is on the brink of collapse, our Railway is tottering to a halt due to lack of diesel, police are threatening to go on strike, insecurity is on the rise due to the collapse of the informal economic sector, yet Mr. President had time to holiday in England!

If President Buhari could personally communicate on issues that concern his fizzling party, the APC, while in England, it is inconceivable that he failed and neglected, as always, to attend to life discounting experiences and pains encountered by Nigerians daily by the thoughtless and inhumane policies of his government.

President Buhari needs to be reminded of his duty to Nigerians, to in the least, show some empathy, competence and concern as our country rapidly drifts towards a looming precipice. The frustration in the country is already degenerating into a nationwide restiveness that may result to the breakdown of Law and Order if allowed to fester.

With petrol now selling between N400 to N500 per liter, diesel at over N800 per liter, kerosine at over N750 and aviation fuel at N670 per liter, millions of businesses, employments and sources of livelihood have collapsed in both urban and rural areas resulting in acute hardship and widespread social tension across the country.

Our Party fears that the situation is getting to a boiling point and can trigger a nationwide agitation that might be worse than the October 2020 EndSARS if not addressed immediately.

President Buhari must take responsibility for the criminal racketeering in his government by APC leaders which has led to the crippling of the economy under his watch. He should stop abdicating his duties by sending his aides to issue wild claims, fake promises and noncommittal apologies on the abysmal failures of his administration.

They described the recent pronouncement of the Wailing Women of the Niger Delta (WWND) as irresponsible, vulgar, provocative, and abusive.

The women also described calls for the termination of the award as foolish, childish and irrational.

‘’The Wailing Women of the Niger Delta is off the rails’’

The statement by the spokesperson of South-South Women Front (SSWF), Dr. Doris Ogba rebuked WWND for confusing the public on the Niger Delta issue.

‘’What is needed is a fundamental change in the perception and behavior of WWND Coordinator, Odighonin Nwadighi and her co-travellers.

The women underscored the minister’s understanding of the region, tenacity of purpose, quality of character, service to humanity, sense of duty and responsibility.

They described Akpabio’s nomination as well-deserved.

The women also urged the former Akwa Ibom State governor and Senate Minority Leader not to allow the negative attitude of Nwadighi to crush his spirit.

‘’Senator Godswill Akpabio believes in the rapid development of the Niger Delta region. Since his appointment, he has been alive to his duty to the people of the Niger Delta region. He has worked assiduously to transform the region. And he has proved his genuine desire to reposition the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC)’’

Daily Independent Newspaper recently nominated Akpabio as the Minister of the Year.

PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI CONDOLES WITH EZE ELDER NELSON NMERENGWA ON PASSAGE OF MUM

President Muhammadu Buhari sympathizes with the Eze Isi Ala 1 of Isieketa Ancient Kingdom, His Royal Majesty Eze Elder Nelson Nmerengwa (JP) on the passage of his mother, Chief (Mrs) Comfort Nmerengwa (Nma).

The President says at age 105, Nma can be said to have lived a glorious life, crowned with longevity, but the thing about mothers is that however old they are, “we never want to see them leave.”

“Mothers are from Heaven, and Nma has only returned home,” President Buhari added, urging Eze Nmerengwa and members of the Isieketa Ancient Kingdom to take solace in the quality of life lived by the departed, and the legacy she left behind.

The President applauds the reputation of Nma as a dedicated Christian, farmer, community leader, and loving mother to all her children, encouraging the family to keep the memory of their matriarch aglow through a continuation of her good works.

As a befitting funeral is given to Nma, President Buhari prays God to accept her soul, and give her peaceful rest.

Press Statement

Buni, Pocket-filling Black Legs In Corridors Of Power Tried To Supplant President’s Will-Akeredolu

*except a few ‘Yahoo, Yahoo Govs’ apologies to Former PGF DG, most of us are resolute behind Bello to salvage the party

*no black market judicial procurement can stop convention.

With nostalgia, one can recall the moments of our struggle as compatriots from all walks of life enunciated and berthed Nigeria’s most ingeniously successful political network. Without being immodest, APC’s birth was a novel instance. The party’s philosophical beacon woven around its ideological leaning was alluring.

Undoubtedly, the firm leadership, candour and honesty exemplified by Mr President who heads the administration that is the product of the APC deserve no less of support and complimentary responsibilities from all stakeholders.

The installation of the Caretaker and Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) of the APC was beyond a call to service. It was a child of necessity moulded to one, instill discipline in leadership and engender coherence among stakeholders and more importantly, to deepen the Rule of Law in our party.

However, the insidious and appalling happenings within our party in the last few months, especially under the immediate-past leadership clearly posit a huge embarrassment. Without necessarily dwelling on details that are known to critical stakeholders, the path taken lately by Governor Mai Mala Buni, the immediate past head of the CECPC and an indivisible few, is a unenviable trajectory undeserving of our dear party. It is a disdainful narrative.

Nevertheless, the courage and determination as well as shrewd sincerity of purpose demonstrated by most of the APC Governors remain a delight. Significantly, the swift response and prompt action taken by Mr President have, in no small means, salvaged our great party from internal scavengers. We indeed, survived a Civilian Coup largely inspired by mischief and incurable lust for power through artificial barricades.

Succinctly, aside feeling very delighted as a major stakeholder in the latest successful Rescue Mission, I express my confidence in the ability and capacity of Governor Sanni Bello(ABU LOLO) to take APC through. We, the Governors are for the party except for the few “Yahoo, Yahoo” Governors (apologies to Salihu, former DG of the Progressive Governors’ Forum) who were hand in glove with Buni to circumvent the Will of majority of our Party (APC) members. Progressive Governors in the true name, mostly all of us, are determined to see our Party through these patchy parts at all cost.

None of the scanty number has the guts to carry out their imaginary threats as reported in sponsored stories. We dare them to leave the party. Their short-lived antics in armtwisting Governor Buni and probably, some pocketfilling elements within the corridors of power to supplant the President’s will through fake letters, endorsements as well as ‘Black Market’ injunction (procured since November, 2021) are despicable.

Now that the clear motive aimed at frustrating our national convention as been botched, our dear party is on the track to greatness. Gov. Sanni Bello, ABU LOLO, carry on; you have the backing of the majority of us. You shall see our FULL backing come Thursday, 17th March, 2022 at the National Executive Committee meeting.

But as you know, this is ONLY for the conduct of the NATIONAL CONVENTION.

Signed

“JULIUS BERGER IS STILL THE BEST CONSTRUCTION COMPANY IN NIGERIA IN TERMS OF CONTRACTUAL FIDELITY, ENGINEERING COMPETENCE AND TECHNICAL QUALITY”

–       Former FCT Minister and Governor of Bauchi State, His Excellency, Senator Bala Mohammed, CON.

Nigeria’s turnkey engineering construction leader and iconic corporate brand, Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, widely meritoriously acclaimed as the country’s most reliable partner for infrastructural and building construction services, has again been described as “…still the best construction company in Nigeria”. This was the submission of the former honourable minister for the country’s Federal Capital Territory where Julius Berger’s technical signature of excellence and brand integrity eloquently, empirically tells the historical story of the company’s matchless strength, performance and reliability as the prime contractor of choice.

According to Governor Bala Mohammed, Julius Berger Nigeria Plc remains matchlessly in the lead in the engineering construction sector “…in terms of contractual fidelity, engineering competence and technical quality”. Bala praised and congratulated the Rivers State Government for its wisdom and prudence in subscribing to the proven and lasting Julius Berger quality in its execution of infrastructural works in the State.

The former FCT Minister, who is the current executive Governor of Bauchi State, Senator Bala Mohammed, CON, made the remarks when, as special guest of honour of the Rivers State Government, he flagged off the construction works for a tenth flyover, the Rumuokwurusi-Elimgbu Flyover in Obio-Akpor Local Government Area in Rivers State.

Earlier at the Rivers State Executive Council Chambers where the contract for the Rumuokwurusi-Elimgbu Flyover  and adjoining links was signed between the Rivers State Government and Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, the Julius Berger Managing Director, Engr. Dr. Lars Richter thanked the Rivers State Government for entrusting the construction works for several key infrastructures to the company. Richter gratefully listed the Rebisi Flyover which was commission on 7th November 2020; the Rumuokoro Flyover commissioned on 1st March 2021; the Artillery Flyover commissioned 2nd March 2021; Rumuola Flyover commissioned 9th December 2021; and the New GRA Junction Flyover which was commissioned on 11th December 2021. Engr. Dr Richter recalled that the first three flyovers were constructed in a record time of 16 months, adding that all the earlier 5 flyovers were completed within schedule as contracted to the satisfaction of the client. Richter further confidently promised and assured the Rivers State Government that flyovers nos 6, 7, 8, and 9, all of which are projects steadily currently in progress shall be delivered also as contractually scheduled.

The 10th flyover for which its commencement contract was signed on Monday, 28th February, 2022 in Port Harcourt, is contracted for delivery in 10 months. The Julius Berger boss, Engr. Dr. Lars Richter, with palpable professional confidence, assured Governor Wike and the people of Rivers State that, with the strong commitment of the client, and in the established contractual tradition of the company, the 10th flyover will also be successfully delivered as scheduled and to the highest technical standard, “the Julius Berger standard.”

During his visit to Rivers State, Governor Bala was also Special Guest of honour at the commissioning of the Oro-Abali Flyover, Aba road in Port Harcourt Local Government Area. The project, also constructed by Julius Berger, was also celebrated by the Governor Bala the Guest of honour as another outstanding evidence of Julius Berger’s profound attention to details and excellence in engineering design as well as in well-scheduled and timely project execution. According to Governor Bala, Julius Berger’s long-standing, very professional and strict adherence to project delivery deadlines, as so properly funded, very economically saves a client from the problems of cost variations and eliminates the negative spectre of project abandonment.

The events in Port Harcourt were attended by His Excellency, Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, CON, GSSRS, POS (Africa), and his guest of honour, the executive Governor of Bauchi State, His Excellency, Governor Bala Mohammed, CON; the Deputy Governor of Rivers State, Her Excellency, Dr. (Mrs) Ipalibo Harry Banigo, DSSRS; members of the State Executive Council; the Honourable Speaker and members of the Rivers State House of Assembly, the Chairman and members of the Rivers State Council of Chiefs; Rivers State Women, Youths and cultural organizations as well members of the Press.

The Julius Berger delegation to both ceremonies was led by the company’s Managing Director, Engr. Dr. Lars Richter. Other officials in the Managing Director’s entourage included the regional manager, South-south/South-east operations of the company, Engr. Juergen Fischer; Management Staff, South-south/South-east Chief Sam Ngbor; Project Manager Port Harcourt, Engr. Therna; Contract Manager, Barrister (Mrs) Omonigho Brown; and Head of Public Relations, Prince Moses Duku.

 

 

 

LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT

OFFICE OF THE CHIEF PRESS SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNOR

PRESS RELEASE

 

SANWO-OLU COMMISSIONS MINI STADIUM, COMPUTERISED YOUTH CENTRE IN IKORODU 

 

  • Governor lists infrastructure scorecard in Ikorodu, as work commences on Ijede-Gberigbe Road 

 

  • 74 claimants get N500 million compensation on properties demolished for road projects 

 

Ikorodu Division in Lagos State, on Thursday, throbbed with palpable excitement for the inauguration of twin projects built for the youth by the State Government. Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu fulfilled his pledge, delivering a state-of-the-art mini stadium and a computerised Youth Centre in Ita-Elewa area of the ancient town.

 

Sanwo-Olu commissioned both facilities during his working visit to Ikorodu to inspect State Government’s capital projects across the area. A large crowd thronged the Ikorodu Town Hall, where the Governor and members of cabinet met with residents to get feedbacks on how the programmes and policies of the Government are impacting lives.

 

Chairmen of all the six local councils that make up Ikorodu division were in attendance with their deputies and councillors. Also, members of the Governance Advisory Council (GAC) from the division attended the event.

 

The Youth Centre project, initiated and completed by the Sanwo-Olu administration, is aimed at providing a conducive environment for sporting and catering for education and vocational needs of youths in Ikorodu.

 

The mini stadium, built with a semi-standard basketball court, was developed by the State’s Ministry of Youth Development. Office of the Senior Special Assistant on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to the President and member representing Ikorodu in the House of Representatives, Hon. Jimi Benson, supported the stadium project by building spectators’ stands and the pitch.

 

The intervention, Sanwo-Olu said, are initiated to address growing social vices and create platform for young people to realise their potential in sports, education and vocational development.

 

The Governor said more youth centres were at various stages of completion in some areas across the State, including Badagry, Orile Agege, Isheri, Epe and Ikeja, pointing out that the objective was not to leave young people behind in development programmes of the Government.

 

He said: “The visit to Ikorodu today is to meet and engage with our citizens to see first-hand, how programmes and policies of our administration are touching and impacting lives. This visit comes with a package of treats for the youth, as I am pleased to deliver the newly completed Ikorodu Youth Centre here in Ita-Elewa. Also being commissioned is a mini stadium built by our Government.

 

“These youth-focused projects are to provide a conducive environment for sporting activities, while also catering for education needs and vocational development of our teeming youth population of Ikorodu and environs. With facilities like these ones, we hope to keep our young people off the streets and reduce social vices, such as drug abuse, prostitution and hooliganism.”

 

Ikorodu division has benefitted immensely from numerous infrastructure renewal projects initiated by the Sanwo-Olu administration in areas that include healthcare, housing, agriculture, education, drainage, roads and transportation. The Governor, last year, completed and commissioned Ijede Road, which opens into Ewu Elepe and Itamaga.

 

Ongoing projects of the State Government in Ikorodu include the construction of Agric-Isawo-Konu-Arepo Road, Ikorodu Roundabout, construction of Emuren Junction and Parafa Along on Ikorodu-Imota Road, upgrading of Bola Ahmed Tinubu-Igbogbo-Igbe Road, construction of Oba Sekumade Road, improvement project at Sulaimon Soderu Bypass and construction of Powerline Road in Akasoleri, among others.

 

Responding to Ikorodu residents’ feedbacks, Sanwo-Olu announced that construction work on the second phase of Ijede Road, which starts from Ewu Elepe into Gberigbe, would commence on Saturday, noting that the Government and the contractor had sorted all issues delaying the road project.

 

The Governor also informed the Ikorodu residents that the State Government had set aside funds for the overhaul of Odogunyan Expressway, a boundary road that connects Lagos and Ogun States. He said the only thing delaying the project was the counterpart funding from the Federal Government, promising that the rehabilitation work would commence on the road immediately the counterpart funds were made available to the contractor.

 

He said: “Ikorodu division offers the State a vast area of land for agricultural development. It is for this reason we chose the division as the site of the State-owned 32 Metric Tonnes per hour Imota Rice Mill, which is the largest in sub-Saharan Africa. We will be bringing Mr. President to commission the rice mill, which has annual production capacity of 2.5 million bags of 50kg rice.

 

“On business and investment front, our administration has facilitated the establishment of Libra Cycle, a Domestic Export Warehouse (DEW), sitting on 12 hectares of land in Ibeshe, and which serves as a bonded terminal providing depot services to eight of the world’s biggest shipping lines. We completed and delivered 480-unit homes in Babatunde Olushola Benson Estate, while also commissioning a 40 metric tonnes Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) Refill Plant in Igbogbo-Baiyeku Local Council Development Area (LCDA), thereby creating hundreds of jobs for young people in the supply chain.”

 

Sanwo-olu praised all the six council chairmen in the division for good representation which the All Progressives Congress (APC) has at the grassroots, urging them to deliver more projects that would change the lives of the residents.

 

Commissioner for Youth Development, Hon. Segun Dawodu, listed other facilities in the mini stadium to include volleyball court, table tennis section, 200-capacity hall, snooker and pool table, fully-equipped gymnasium, ICT Centre with Internet, counselling section for wellness and people with drug and mental challenges.

 

Also, there is vocational section for training of youths in different vocations. The facility is powered by 250Kva generator.

 

Chairman of Ikorodu Local Government Area, Hon. Wasiu Adesina, acknowledged the Governor’s transformation strides and commitment to physical development of the town, stressing that all challenges being faced by Ikorodu residents were being gradually solved.

 

The council boss said despite paucity of funds, all councils in the division had complemented the State Government’s efforts in road construction, strengthening of security architecture in the division, and empowerment programmes.

 

Adesina said: “We are delighted that you have shown exceptional courage in the manner in which you championed the course of the upgrade of Lagos State Polytechnic in Ikorodu to University of Science and Technology. On agriculture, it gives us a lot of joy that Ikorodu houses the biggest rice mill in West Africa. Your vision for Ikorodu development is becoming a reality and your policies have brought about laudable developments in the area of security, infrastructure, tourism, transportation, and job creation.”

 

The council boss appealed to the Governor on the upgrade of Odogunyan Industrial Estate and renovation of royal palaces in Imota, Igbogbo, Isiwu, Ipakodo, Ijede and Ibeshe.

 

In line with promises made to those affected by construction projects going on in Ikorodu, Governor Sanwo-Olu handed N500 million compensation to 74 claimants and worship centres whose structures were demolished to pave way for the construction of Igbe-Igbogbo-Bola Ahmed Tinubu Way.

JULIUS BERGER AND NLNG CSR PARTNERSHIP REBUILDS AND COMMISSIONS HISTORIC BONNY CONSULATE BUILDING

 

“Project conceived and accomplished to deepen company’s Corporate Social Responsibility in appreciation of the thriving relationship with the Bonny community” – Julius Berger MD, Engr. Dr. Lars Richter

 

Julius Berger Nigeria Plc and the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) Limited, in a unique corporate social responsibility initiative, have collaborated and rebuilt the historic Bonny Consulate Building in the ancient Bonny Kingdom.

 

The partnership for the project between Julius Berger and the NLNG began two years earlier when both corporations came together to sign a Memorandum of Understanding at Grand Bonny to commence the reconstruction of the historic  Bonny Consulate Building.

 

At the project commissioning ceremony on Saturday, 5 March 2022, both Managing Directors of Julius Berger and the NLNG, Engr. Dr. Lars Richter and Dr. Philip Mshelbila respectively, celebrated the good relationship between the companies and the Bonny community.

 

Richter who described the project as far-reaching in significance also said it has a potential to boost the prominence of Bonny Island. He recalled that way back in the 15th century, Bonny was a major international trading post, which in the course of time has transformed into a central hub renowned for natural gas exploration and production in Nigeria.

 

Richter traced the relationship between Julius Berger and the Grand  Bonny Kingdom to the mid-1990’s, that is, over 20 years to date, when as a major contractor, the company was entrusted with the development of  infrastructural work for NLNG’s first liquefied natural gas plant on Bonny Island. Since entering the Isnad, Julius Berger, he added, has “continuously and harmoniously working on significant projects on the Island, including most recently, the construction of the Bodo-Bonny Road, which shall soon be the first road link into Bonny Island, and which, upon completion, will serve as a catalyst for the continued success of the Island and the greater advancement of the Niger Delta.”

 

Speaking further, Richter said, “…partnering with NLNG for the reconstruction of the Bonny Consulate Building, has provided Julius Berger the opportunity to deepen (Julius Berger’s) CSR efforts, and to contribute towards preserving the rich history of the Island, by applying our knowhow and expertise for the development of a purposeful building infrastructure.” With brimming professional confidence, the Julius Berger Managing Director added that, “…we constructed the consulate according to our trusted standards of quality, reliability and high-value partnership”. The aim, he emphasized, is to ensure the greatest integrity in restoring the memory of the original Consulate Building while also delivering a highly functioning structure that futuristically stands to support the aspirations of His Royal Majesty, to diversify the economy of the Grand Bonny Kingdom through tourism.

 

Saying that Julius Berger is honoured to partner with NLNG for construction of the Bodo-Bonny Road and the Bonny Consulate Building considering the socio-economic impact of both projects, Engr. Dr. Richter on behalf of the Board and entire management of Julius Berger, thanked NLNG for their collaboration, which he said “stands strong and proud to support the continued development of Bonny Island….”

 

Richter also thanked the King and people of the ancient Grand of Bonny Kingdom for their continued trust and cooperation.

 

The Governor of Rivers State His Excellency, Chief Nyesom Wike, ably represented by the Deputy Governor, Dr (Mrs) Ipalibo Harry Banigo, His Royal Majesty King Edward Asimini William Dappa Pepple III, JP, CON, Perekule XI, the Amayanabo of Grand Bonny Kingdom, the chairman of the Bonny Council of Chiefs, Chief (Ambassador) Claude Dagogo-Wilcox, the Managing Director of the NLNG, Dr. Philip Mshelbila, and other important dignitaries at the commissioning ceremony also celebrated and praised the developmental Julius Berger-NLNG CSR partnership, which in a timely, qualitative and with exemplary professionalism and show of respect for communal values, successfully delivered the Bonny Consulate Building as desirably conceived.

 

The Julius Berger delegation to the event was led by the company’s Managing Director, Engr. Dr. Lars Richter. Other members of the Julius Berger entourage included Coordinator, Executive Projects, Koehler Kai-Uwe, Operations Manager, Bonny Consulate Building & Bodo-Bonny Road Project Engr. Ulrich Stahl, Technical Manager, Engr. Ingo Edinger; and Project Manager, Bodo-Bonny Road Project, Engr. Thomas Haug.
