No fewer than 300 students of Imo state schools have received educational materials donation from the Polaris Bank Limited, in collaboration with Evolve Charity Trust, to inspire learning, especially among the girl-child.

 

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that three schools namely: National High School Arondizuogu, Iheme Memorial Secondary School, and Akokwa High School, all in Ideato North Local Government Area, benefitted from the gesture.

 

Presenting the items, the bank’s Managing Director, Mr Kayode Lawal, represented by the Business Development Manager, Urualla branch, Mrs Ifeyinwa Nwokoro, charged students to embrace the opportunities that education offers.

 

Lawal said the intervention was in line with the bank’s ongoing sustainability efforts aimed at reducing Nigeria’s current out-of-school children population and increase access to quality education especially for the girl-child.

 

“The intervention aims at educating the girl-child without limitations as some parents lament that they do not have the resources to educate them.

 

“It is also expected to support the Imo State Government’s free education efforts in public schools as well as discourage early marriages among the girl-child,” he added.

 

He added that the school essentials including sandals, bags, school uniforms, books and other writing materials would help the beneficiaries attain a certain level of education in life.

 

Lawal said since the commencement of the Corporate Social Responsibility intervention in 2020, the bank had been working with Evolve and other stakeholders.

 

According to him, the bank has reached out to 15,000 students in over 35 schools across Imo, Kano, Lagos, Abuja, Kogi, Rivers, Edo, Delta, and Akwa Ibom states.

 

“The project which contributes to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 4) of United Nations (UN) hopes to reach 50,000 young girls in eight years.

 

“This year, 1,000 students across 10 designated public secondary schools, will be reached in five states,” he disclosed.

 

Also speaking, Mr Godwin Ejeh, the Project Manager of Evolve Charity Trust, a non-governmental organisation, said the objective was essentially to reverse the effect of global warming.

 

“The objective is essentially to reverse the effect of global warming following a research that if you educate the girl-child, you contribute to reversing the impact of global warming which is what gave birth to the project vision.

 

“So far, the global number of students that have benefited is over 25,000,” he disclosed.

 

While appreciating the donors, the Principal of National High School, Arondizuogu, Mrs Chike Anaekwe, commended Polaris bank and the NGO for the items.

 

“The school, parents and students appreciate what Polaris bank and partners have been doing over the years. Not every parent can afford some of these items at the moment.

 

“We will be very grateful if Polaris bank continues this gestures,” Anaekwe said.

 

Two elated beneficiaries, Miss Victory Chukwuye from Iheme Memorial Secondary School, and Master Chika Utazi from Akokwa High School, expressed their excitement over the gesture.

 

“These educational items will help us to further our education and achieve our life goals,” Chukwuye stressed.

 

“I am so excited about this. I have been wearing slippers to school, but now I can wear sandals and good uniform to school,” Utazi said. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)

By Deborah Coker

Sen. Ned Nwoko (PDP-Delta), says his bill on amendment to Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 will ensure compliance with global best practices and provide economic and security benefits to the nation.

 

Nwoko, representing Delta North Senatorial District, while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Thursday, said the bill has passed through the first reading.

 

Nwoko is the Senate Committee Chairman on Reparations and Repatriations.

 

He said the amendment also aimed to enhance the swift resolution of complaints, and foster stakeholder confidence.

 

Nwoko said the bill would mandate social media platforms, data controllers, and data processors operating within Nigeria to establish and maintain physical offices within the country.

 

It is entitled “A Bill for an Act to Alter the Nigeria Data Protection Act, 2023, LFN, to Mandate the Establishment of Physical Offices within the Territorial Boundaries of the Federal Republic of Nigeria by Social Media Platforms and for Related Matters”.

 

“I proposed in the bill that Section 5 of the 2023 Act be altered by the addition of a new article P.

 

“It shall read that the commission shall mandate all data controllers, data processors, or operators of social media platforms to establish and maintain a physical office situated within the territorial boundaries of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

 

“Failure to comply with this requirement for a continuous period of 30 days shall render the entity liable to a prohibition from conducting operations within the jurisdiction of Nigeria,’’ he told NAN.

 

He further proposed that Section 65 of the Principal Act be altered by the addition of new terms and their interpretations.

 

“They shall read that Data Controllers means entities that determine the purposes and means of processing personal data and bear legal responsibility for compliance with data protection laws,” he said.

 

Nwoko said Data Processors in the context of the bill meant entities that process personal data on behalf of a data controller based on specific instructions and without autonomy over the purposes or means of processing.

 

“Operators of Social Media Platforms means legal persons or entities responsible for owning, managing, or controlling digital platforms that facilitate user interaction, content sharing, or communication.

 

Nwoko said Physical Offices as referred to in the bill means a fixed and operational business location within the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

 

He said they should be staffed and authorised to engage with regulators, stakeholders, and the public for the purpose of fulfilling legal and operational obligations. (NAN) (www.nannews.ng)

By Rita Iliya

Niger state Ministry of Primary Healthcare has vaccinated no fewer than 444,658 girls against the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) during its vaccination campaign.

 

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the state inaugurated a campaign on inoculations of more than 500,000 girls against HVP, the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI).

 

Mr Daniel Jiya, Director, Food and Drugs and Project Manager of the State Emergency Routine Immunisation Coordination Centre (SERICC), disclosed this during the vaccination review meeting in Minna on Wednesday.

 

He said this achievement had placed Niger State third in Nigeria’s HPV vaccination drive.

 

“The targeted demographic was girls aged 9-14, chosen because they have reached early adulthood,” he said.

 

Jiya disclosed that cervical cancer claims 8,000 lives annually in Nigeria, accounting for 95 per cent of deaths among women.

 

He said HPV vaccine has been proven safe and effective in preventing cervical cancer.

 

He said the objectives of the meeting was to review HPV vaccine progress, foster collaboration between stakeholders, and address challenges in vaccine delivery.

 

He emphasised that immunisation was the safest and most cost-effective way to tackle diseases, calling on all to spread the word and ensure children get vaccinated.

 

Other objectives was to review progress, foster collaboration, address challenges by identifying and mitigating obstacles in vaccine service delivery and strengthen stakeholder involvement.

 

He, however, said part of the challenges encountered during the campaign was low uptake of the vaccine due to misconceptions and limited awareness

 

In her goodwill message, Gerida Birukila, Chief of Field Office, UNICEF Kaduna, commended stakeholders for their efforts and urged continued awareness creation to reach areas not reached during the campaign.

 

Also, Andrea Okeke-Ewewi, representative of Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), commended the efforts in ensuring that over 400,000 eligible girls were vaccinated during the vaccination campaign in Niger state. (NAN)

Electronic recording of confessions mandatory, says ex-judge

By Ebere Agozie

A former judge of the Kogi High Court, Justice Alaba Omolaye-Ajileye, has said that electronic recording of confessional statement of suspect during criminal investigation in an audio-visual format is a mandatory obligation.

 

Omolaye-Ajileye made this known during the 2024 edition of the 6th Annual Criminal Law Review Conference (ACLRC) organised by the Rule of Law Development Foundation (RLDF) on Wednesday in Abuja.

 

He noted that such recordings would reduce the number of trial-within-trial and also reduce the duration of cases in courts.

 

“Confessional statements are crucial components of criminal trials. The confessional statement of a defendant if voluntarily made and is of great evidential value in the dispensation of criminal justice.

 

“It is regarded as the best evidence in a criminal trial which can ease the stress of trials within trial. If you have  recorded evidence and a legal practitioner is there present, then that statements should be legally admitted.”

 

He added that there is no need for studio establishment as most people have smart phones and can take evidenced record of the confessional statements.

 

Also speaking, DCP Simon Lough, SAN, Head of Nigeria Police Force Legal chamber, said Section 15 and 17 of the administration of criminal justice act ensures that evidence of confessional statements recorded are admitted without the need for trial within trial.

 

“Therefore, to reduce the long-term stress of trial within trials confessional evidence statement will make things easier.

 

“It is highly commendable and supported for every state to adopt it so as to ensure that justice is served.”

 

He urged the senior judicial officers to ensure that the provision of section 15 and section 17 are complied with.

 

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that in most court cases, once an accused raises an objection that a statement is taken forcefully, a trial within trial must be conducted.

 

NAN reports that the Supreme Court in a landmark ruling on Sept. 24,  established that law enforcement agencies must electronically record a suspect’s confessional statement in an audio-visual format during criminal investigations.

 

The case of Federal Republic of Nigeria (F.R.N.) v. Akaeze [2024] 12 NWLR (Pt. 1951) 1 has underscored the mandatory nature of this requirement, in accordance with sections 15(4) and 17(1) & (2) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015 (ACJA).

 

This decision leaves no room for discretion—failure to comply renders the confessional statement inadmissible in court.(NAN) (www.nannews.ng)

Operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) have neutralised over 50 Boko Haram members during a cross-fire at Farin- Kasa Area, Chukun LGA in Kaduna.

 

A statement by the NSCDC Spokesperson, Babawale Afolabi, said that the incident took place on Tuesday.

 

Afolabi said that a special monitoring squad comprising of 80 officers and men were deployed to survey and monitor the recently vandalised national grid installation in Shiroro area of Niger state.

 

He said that the operatives, drawn from the Commandant General Special Intelligence Squad (CG SIS), were sent to assess the state of damage, conduct surveillance activities and possibly arrest and bring perpetrators to book.

 

He said that the team were attacked while crossing from the Shiroro axis after the surveillance and monitoring oversight of the installations.

 

“ From the top of a hill located at Farin-Kasa, the group opened fire upon sighting the long convoy of the NSCDC monitoring team using different sophisticated weapons.

 

“The NSCDC operatives in the ambush, however, not overwhelmed by terrorists, repelled the attack and successfully neutralised over 50 of the terrorists in the crossfire,” he said.

 

According to him, as at the time of filling this report, about seven operatives of the corps were currently missing.

 

‘Efforts are currently underway to locate them in the bush. A few others who sustained various degrees of Injuries are currently undergoing medical treatment in a Medical facility,” he said.

PenCom urges police to remain with CPS

388 total views today

 

By Nana Musa

Ms Omolola Oloworaran, Acting Director-General of National Pension Commission (PenCom), has urged the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), to remain with the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS).

 

Oloworaran said this during a public hearing on a bill for an Act to establish Police Pension Board, in Abuja on Tuesday.

 

Oloworaran, represented by the Commissioner of Administration, Dr Farouk Aminu, also reiterated PenCom’s commitment to Police welfare.

 

She said that pension must be affordable, sustainable and adequate.

 

“PenCom has consistently proposed practical solutions, including increasing pension contribution rates, offering additional retirement benefits, and implementing periodic pension reviews under the existing CPS framework.

 

“These measures are designed to enhance the financial well-being of retired police personnel without compromising fiscal discipline or administrative efficiency.

 

“Notably, the establishment of an Augmentation Fund and the enhancement of the Retiree Resettlement Scheme demonstrate PenCom’s commitment to addressing the unique needs of the police.

 

“The welfare of Nigeria Police personnel is paramount, the proposed bill is a step in the wrong direction.

 

“The CPS offers a balanced approach to achieving pension adequacy, affordability, and sustainability,” Oloworaran said.

 

She said that implementing PenCom’s recommendations was a more viable path to meeting the needs of police personnel while safeguarding the broader national interest.

 

Oloworaran said that the senate should prioritise those solutions and uphold the principles of Nigeria’s pension reform.

 

The Chairman, Senate Committee on Establishment and Public Service, Sen. Cyril Fasuyi, said that the bill was to establish a board to oversee Police pension.

 

Fasuyi said that the committee intended to create an enabling environment for retired police officers.

 

Fasuyi said that the public hearing provides more information and an opportunity to various stakeholders.

 

Sen. Sen. Binos Yaroe, who sponsored the bill, said that retired Commissioners of Police take N70,000 while Assistant Superintendents of Police collect about N40, 000 to N50, 000 as pension.

 

He said that Military, Department of State Service (DSS), Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) and National Intelligence Agency (NIA) had pulled out of CPS.

 

He, however, said that the NPF, which is the lead security agency in section 214 of the cconstitution, is left under CPS regulated by PenCom.

 

This, according to him, places retired police officers on wrong post-service employment in spite of their crucial role.

 

He said that the matter was not just about the police exiting, but improving their salaries.

 

“Even if they exit, with a poor salary, their pension will still be poor.

 

“Towards the end of the ninth assembly, the bill was passed but not signed because we started the process late. That’s why we started the process again early March 19 and July 4.”

 

The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, said that the NPF wanted the police pension board established for improved welfare for retired police officers.

 

Egbetokun was represented by the Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of police, Bala Chiroma.

 

The National Chairman of Nigeria Union of Pensioners Contributory Pension Scheme Sector (NUPCPS), Mr Sylva Nwaiwu, said that CPS should be amended.

 

Nwaiwu said that CPS was good for the nation, adding that pension increments should always be encouraged.

 

Alhaji Sani Mustapha, the Executive Director of the Contributory Pension and Happy Retirement Advocacy (COPEHRA), said that CPS had proven to be resilient, transparent and sustainable,

 

He added that it was also effectively addressing the shortcomings of the previous pension system.

 

He said that keeping the NPF within the CPS aligns with best practices in pension management, ensuring their financial security while also supporting Nigeria’s broader economic development.

 

Mustapha said that the transition to a Defined Benefit Scheme (DBS) would introduce significant risks, including fiscal unsustainability, delayed payments and potential economic setbacks.

 

He said that it was imperative to uphold the principles of equity, transparency and sustainability by maintaining the NPF’s inclusion in the CPS.

 

“My recommendation is to maintain the current system to safeguard the future of our police personnel and promote a robust economic environment in Nigeria.

 

“Any challenge that the Police may have in the administration of their pensions under the CPS should be discussed and resolved by PenCom and other relevant Government agencies,” Mustapha said.

 

The director said that there were many benefits in retaining police in the CPS.

 

He listed the benefits to include regulation and oversight, security and timeliness, economic independence, transparency and accountability, and alignment with global trends.

 

“The risks of establishing a separate pension board for DBS includes fiscal burden, lack of autonomy, economic instability and precedent setting,” Mustapha said.  (NAN) (www.nannews.ng)

Police exit from contributory pension huge risk- PenOp

360 total views today

 

By Nana Musa

The Pension Fund Operators Association of Nigeria (PenOp), has expressed concerns over proposals from the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), to exit the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) to Defined Benefits Scheme (DBS).

 

Mr Oguche Agudah, the Chief Executive Officer of PenOp, voiced the concern on Tuesday in Abuja during a public hearing on a bill for an act to establish a police pension board.

 

He said that the CPS operates on a pre-funded model with both employees and employers contributing a mandatory percentage of the employee’s salary.

 

Agudah said that usually, a minimum of eight per cent from the employee and 10 per cent from the employer, totaling a minimum contribution rate of 18 per cent, is usually gathered.

 

He said that either party had the latitude to contribute a higher percentage, which allows pension funds to accumulate and be invested for future payouts.

 

Agudah said that the National Pension Commission (PenCom), as of September, had a total pension assets, under the CPS, that had exceeded ₦20 trillion (approximately $12 billion),

 

He said that PenCom had ensured that the funds were not solely reliant on government budgets, thus reducing vulnerability to fiscal constraints.

 

Agudah said that the transitioning to the DBS would not solve the police’s concerns.

 

“It will, rather, create deeper financial and operational challenges for the country,” he said.

 

He said that the CPS had proven to be a transparent, sustainable and resilient system for managing pensions, benefiting both retirees and the broader economy.

 

Agudah said that reverting to the DBS model, which relies on government budgetary allocations, would lead to fiscal unsustainability and delayed payments for pensioners.

 

“Moving the police out of the CPS will require a staggering N3.5 trillion annually to fund pensions for approximately 400,000 personnel, in a budget already burdened by deficits. This is simply unsustainable.

 

“It will also divert resources from other critical needs, including minimum wage adjustments and public services,” he said.

 

Agudah said that pension funds under the CPS are currently invested in bonds, infrastructure and other critical sectors that contribute to the country economic growth.

 

He said that unwinding the investments to accommodate a DBS for the police would erode the value of assets and destabilise the financial system.

 

Agudah said that the CPS currently holds over N21 trillion in assets, and remains a critical component of the country’s economic infrastructure.

 

He said that maintaining the police within the CPS would ensure long-term sustainability, equity and economic stability.

 

Agudah said that setting a dangerous precedent was not good.

 

“If the police exit the CPS, other public sector groups may demand similar transitions, fragmenting the pension system and undermining reform efforts.

 

“And our key aim and our key goal is to ensure that all pensioners are paid on time, all pensioners have a living pension, and everybody gets their pension on time.

 

“What we heard at the hearing is actually a joy to us because what we are seeing is that even the sponsor of the bill is on the path that it is not really the CPS that is the problem of the police. It is the welfare.

 

“So, what we have said is, if your salary is small, your pensions will be small,” he said. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)

Tinubu’s reform agenda most credible- Okupe

457 total views today

 

By Emmanuel Mogbede

A former Labour Party (LP) Chieftain, Dr Doyin Okupe, has described President Bola Tinubu administration’s reform agenda as the most credible compared to those of other presidential candidates in the 2023 presidential election.

 

Okupe, also a former Spokesman to former President Goodluck Johnathan, stated this while assessing Tinubu administration’s reform agenda.

 

“Though I never supported Tinubu ahead of the election; he is not my friend and we were not in the same party, in retrospect however, his reform agenda is the most credible.

 

“The Renewed Hope Agenda he (Tinubu) brought is one that can address, and is addressing, the country’s current challenges,” he said.

 

According to him, the renewed hope agenda is being meticulously applied by the president.

 

“Tinubu has a better policy document than any of his two rivals during the 2023 presidential election.

 

“Atiku Abubakar of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is an experienced, knowledgeable and thorough-bred politician.

 

“I know that for a fact that he also came with a testament that would have been binding on him and Nigerians.

 

“But when you put the testament side-by-side the current reality on ground, it is not applicable,” the politician said.

 

He stated that Atiku’s testament, documents and preparations were hinged on some loans which he thought he could use to sort out some things if elected, stressing they were all theoretical.

 

This, Okupe said, was especially so, because by the time President Muhammadu Buhari was leaving office, no international financial institution was ready to borrow Nigeria money again.

 

Okupe said that if such institutions were ready to borrow Nigeria money, Buhari wouldn’t have gone to print money just at the tail end of his administration.

 

“So the premise Atiku placed his testament on was sinking and it can’t work.

 

“As for Peter Obi of Labour Party, he did not given any document to Nigerians that he was going to work on.

 

“In Labour Party, we didn’t have a document that we could adopt as a policy document for what was going on.

 

“All we were saying was that we wanted to take Nigeria from consumption to production; good rethorics, but it was not grounded either in policy development or principle application,” he said.

 

Okupe noted that the announcement of fuel subsidy removal by Tinubu on his inauguration day was a mere confirmation of an event that had happened under Buhari’s administration.

 

“Upon assumption of office, Tinubu addressed the issues in the country’s foreign exchange where some people were feeding fat on our foreign exchange earnings, using their contacts in Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN),” he said.

 

Okupe also noted that Tinubu implemented the student loan and consumer protection programmes, providing loans to low income earners in a systematic manner.

 

He recalled that the president paid off some debts that were going to cripple the country’s economy.

 

“Two months after getting into government, he put up a committee to look into tax reform which was in his agenda.

 

“This man (Tinubu) has a systematic, reliable, focused and applicable agenda that can take Nigeria to enviable heights,” he said. (NAN) (www.nannews.ng)
