Vice President Kashim Shettima has said that Nigeria’s national anthem is an “instruction manual of patriotism” for every Nigerian because of the values contained in it.

Shettima stated this at the unveiling of a book titled, “In Brotherhood We Stand; The Nigerian National Anthem Beyond Melody”, on Thursday, in Abuja.

The book is authored by Prof. Julius Ihonvbere, Majority Leader of the House of Representatives.

Represented by Dr Aliyu Umar, his Special Adviser on General Duties, Shettima encouraged Nigerians to reflect on the values enshrined in the national anthem and embody them in their daily lives.

“The reinstatement of our old national anthem is a reaffirmation of the ideals that build this country.

“This national anthem is an instruction manual of patriotism for every Nigerian, young and old.

“It does not merely celebrate Nigeria, it calls on every citizen to embody the spirit of Nigeria,” he said.

Shettima said that the first stanza is a reminder that Nigeria’s diversity is not a weakness but strength.

He explained that it is also a reminder that Nigeria’s many tongues and traditions should not lead to division but instead reinforce shared destiny.

Shettima added that service to the nation should not be the task of a few but the pride of all.

“The national anthem is a call for integrity, and a prayer of a nation striving for greatness.

“It is an appeal for divine guidance in the pursuit of a Nigeria, where oppression has no home, where every citizen finds dignity, and where prosperity is the reward.

“Our responsibility is to pass down a country where justice prevails, where truth is not negotiable, and where our national symbols are not tainted by corruption or compromise,” he said.

The First Lady, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, commended the author for the initiative to write a book that explained the lyrics of the national anthem.

Represented by Hajiya Fatima Abbas, wife of the Speaker, House of Representatives, she said the wordings of the anthem were rich with terms on unity, peace, and progress,

According to the first lady, the national anthem is not just a song, but a reflection of Nigeria’s history, struggles, and aspirations.

“The book, In Brotherhood We Stand, challenges us to rise above our differences, embrace our diversity, and work tirelessly for the betterment of our beloved country.

“I encourage all Nigerians to take pride in our national anthem and to embody its values.

”Together we can build a Nigeria that truly honours the sacrifices of our forefathers and fulfills the dreams of future generations,” she said.

Secretary to the Government of the Federation, (SGF), Sen. George Akume, said the book would fill the current gap in the public understanding and collective commitment to nation building.

Akume, who was represented by Prof.Babatunde Bernard, his Technical Adviser, recommended the book for general readership, especially to the political players, the younger generation and those in authority.

“As a proud Nigerian, I wish to assure Nigerians, especially our youth, that the nation is on track.

“I am confident in the reforms contained in the Renewed Hope Agenda of the President aimed at positioning the country on the path to prosperity,” he said.

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudden Abbas, said that a profound understanding of the ideals encapsulated in the national anthem was a better way of reclaiming Nigeria.

Represented by Dr Anthony Adepoju, Deputy Chairman, House Committee on Federal Character, Abbas lauded President Bola Tinubu for the foresight and courage to restore the old national anthem.

He said that strengthening civic education and restorating history back in schools was the right step to take.

Abbas noted that this would build values and patronism and encourage more writers to emulate the author in turning out books like this.

The Book Reviewer, Dr Otive Igbuzor, Executive Director, African Centre for Leadership, Strategy and Development, applauded the book.

According to him, the book will inspire a renewed commitment by Nigerians to apply the values of the national anthem in their daily conduct.

Otive said this would consequently transform them into better citizens, who would contribute meaningfully towards building the Nigeria of our dream.

“The book provides an in-depth examination of the Nigerian national anthem, emphasising its role as a symbol of unity, national identity, and moral guidance,” he said.

Prof. Ihonvbere, the author, said the book was his own way of contributing his quota, so as to add value to value reorientation in Nigeria.

“The missing link has been the loss of good value system in Nigeria.

“In the course of trying to bring Nigeria to where it should be, we must realign our values and our principles.

“The book which I have written today is, therefore, an effective tool for value reorientation.

“I believe that the values and principles embedded in the anthem are blueprints and roadmaps that can guide us in building a greater Nigeria,” he added.(NAN)(www.nannews.ng)

Trafficking: NAPTIP urges faith-based organisations to educate congregations

By Jessica Dogo

The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) has urged faith-based organisations to educate their congregations on ways to eradicate human trafficking in the country.

The Director-General of NAPTIP, Hajia Binta Adamu-Bello, made the plea at the fourth annual Interfaith Conference organised by MeCAHT and EXIST, on Thursday in Abuja.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the conference was organised in partnership with Sure4U, International Human Rights Advocacy and Awareness Centre, Symbols of Hope and MUHASA TVR.

She said human trafficking was a significant human rights violation in the country, and Nigeria served as a source, transit and destination point for trafficked persons.

Adamu-Bello, represented by the Director of Intelligence and Special Duties, NAPTIP, Mr Effeh Ekrika, said governmental agencies and international organisations play significant roles in combating human trafficking with NAPTIP as a focal agency.

She said faith organisations also play critical roles in preventing human trafficking through advocacy, awareness campaigns and moral education.

Adamu-Bello called on religious institutions, particularly churches and mosques, to educate their congregations on the dangers of human trafficking, emphasising ethical values and the sanctity of human lives.

She said this could be done through their sermons, workshops and community discussions.

“Faith-based organisations in Nigeria serve as critical first responders against human trafficking by engaging in prevention, rescue, rehabilitation and advocacy efforts.

“Their deep-rooted presence in societies, moral authority, and commitment to social justice make them valuable partners in the fight against this crime.

“Faith-based organisations therefore need increased support from the government, private sector, and international agencies.

“Strengthening collaboration between all stakeholders will ensure a more effective response for human trafficking, ultimately protecting vulnerable populations and upholding human dignity,” the NAPTIP boss said.

In his remarks, Rev. Dogara Gwana, from the Baptist Church, urged stakeholders to engage with relevant authorities, sign petitions and support policies that are meant to combat human trafficking.

Gwana, while condemning human trafficking, added that it was against faith claims and values system.

“For an effective engagement on this matter, we must begin by accepting that human trafficking is a vice that we must all condemn. It is against our faith claims and against our value system.

“I have also come to see that this evil thrives, not due to lack of religious teaching or values, it is simply a product of human depravity.

“The depravity of the soul will always blind the perpetrator from heeding what is right,” he said.

Meanwhile, Qousim Opakunle, who spoke on behalf of the Muslim Ummah, urged parents to always put an eye on their children, especially on the social media platforms.

Opakunle called on the Islamic community to rise up to their responsibility and synergise with relevant stakeholders to ensure that they protect people against human trafficking

“I call for collaboration between government and Islamic institutions like the mosques and Islamic groups to sensitise followers to wake up to their various responsibilities,” he said.

Earlier, Mr James Ikape, Executive Director, MeCAHT, urged stakeholders to help take the message to their congregations, saying that faith was a very powerful force that could stop issues of human trafficking in the society.

“As an organisation, we thought that it will be great to have people from different faith, Christians and Muslims, meet in Nigeria to discuss way out for human trafficking,” he said.

Karen Kjærgaard, a representative from Denmark, expressed delight as Christians and Islamic faithful came together to discuss human trafficking, a fast-growing crime in the world today. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)

Babangida, architect of Nigeria’s private sector – Dangote

By Salif Atojoko

Alhaji Aliko Dangote, the President and Chief Executive of Dangote Industries Ltd., on Thursday, praised former Head of State, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, for implementing policies that liberated the private sector during his regime.

Dangote said this during the unveiling of the book, “A Journey in Service,” the autobiography of the former Head of State and the inauguration of the IBB Presidential Library.

Dangote commended Babangida for his transformative policies that encouraged Nigerian investors to play prominent roles in the economy.

He particularly highlighted the abolition of import licences, which helped stimulate domestic industries.

“These reforms, among others, ensured that Nigeria now has more private-sector involvement than any other country in Africa,” he said.

According to him, this shift, led to a contribution of 85 per cent of the country’s Gross Domestic Product from the private sector, while the government contributes just 15 per cent.

“Your Excellency, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for all you have done for Nigeria. Many may not realise that you were the architect of the private sector in Nigeria.

“Anyone in the private sector who has achieved prominence today owes it to you, as you provided us with the necessary licences. In the past, we used to struggle to obtain licences through intermediaries, including Indians,” he said.

Dangote donated N8 billion to the IBB Presidential Library, to be paid at N2 billion annually over the four years allocated for the project’s completion.

He further pledged that if the project extended beyond this timeframe, he would continue to donate N2 billion annually until it was completed.

Other prominent Nigerians also pledged contributions to the construction of the library, with Alhaji Abdul Rabiu, the Chief Launcher and Founder of BUA Group, donating N5 billion.

Theophilus Danjuma, the co-Chief Launcher and Founder of the TY Danjuma Foundation, donated N3 billion. (NAN) (www.nannews.ng)

President Bola Tinubu on Thursday in Abuja urged African leaders to take tough decisions to make the continent a better place.

The president gave the charge at the inauguration of Babangida’s autobiography, ”A Journey in Service,” and the fundraising for the IBB Presidential Library Project.

The president particularly called on Nigerians to refocus their time, energy and resources on building the country and be more mindful of changes in global migration laws that could impede their dreams of a better life.

“I am glad about what is happening in America and Europe, the contradiction you have seen now.

” What is it telling us? It is telling us to wake up and make Africa a better place, particularly this country, Nigeria.

“I have seen the need to make some decisions on behalf of this country,” he said.

The president thanked everyone for their patience and perseverance.

“Whatever might have happened, we have heard the truth from our dear leader, father and uncle, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida,” he added.

Tinubu also thanked Babangida for his foresight in ensuring the private sector’s growth in Nigeria.

“Without you, people like me will not be in politics.

” I thank you for your progressive revolution.

” You said you wanted young, brilliant people in politics. We met you in Dodan Barracks.

” You inspired some of us and when you look at the programme today, the names of bankers and many of us here today for this library project are all because they believe in the visionary Babangida.

” Thank you for what you are,” said Tinubu.

The president noted that Babangida’s approval of operational licences for banks and deregulation of the economy started the wave of new-generation banks.

“Nigeria has never been the same since then. You have made your marks,” he added. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)

Tinubu commends Babangida for admitting Abiola’s June 12 victory

By Salif Atojoko

President Bola Tinubu on Thursday in Abuja said former military president, retired Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, showed unusual courage and patriotism by admitting that late M.K.O. Abiola won the June 12 election in 1993.

The president, who was the special guest of honour at the launch of Babangida’s autobiography, ”A Journey in Service,” and the fundraising for the IBB Presidential Library Project, saluted the former leader’s contribution to the country’s history and development.

Babangida confirmed for the first time in 32 years that Abiola had won the historic June 12 election based on collated results.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the annulment was a watershed in the country’s democratic history, precipitating a political crisis and hastening Babangida’s exit from power.

Tinubu said the former leader’s admission about Abiola’s victory would help to set the records properly.

“I am glad about the revelation of my general.

” We will not forget to pray for you. I listened to you carefully.

” I am not here to read a speech. I am here to pay homage.

“Let me say thank you for everything, for who you are, what you are, and how you have contributed to the history of this great country,” he said.

Tinubu also said he would continue to do his best for the country by taking tough decisions to reposition the economy.

He also thanked the leaders who graced the occasion, saying their sacrifice was worth it.

“Let me start from the celebrant; I listened to your remarks, your recollection of history.

” The dream, progressive ideas, the joy of being alive today, 32 years after, to give us an account of stewardship and service.

“Your excellency, it is challenging to find the people present here if not because of your personality, character, and impact,” said Tinubu.

He also thanked Nana Akufo-Addo, former president of Ghana, who gave the keynote remarks, for his contributions to ECOWAS and commitment to Africa’s sovereignty.

“To our brother, Ernest Bai Koroma, former President of Sierra Leone, I met you before I became president and interacted with you.

” Fate has brought us together again.

“To our father, Gen. Yakubu Gowon, I am glad about the restoration of your rank and everything.

” We learn history from you.

” Thank you for who you are and your commitment to nation-building.

“To former President Goodluck Jonathan, we sometimes interact, argue and discuss the future of this country,” said the president.

Acknowledging the efforts of former military leaders, the president said that they had set the pace for democratic elections in the country.

Tinubu further said Babangida deserved the sacrifice made by many to be at the event.

Babangida, on his part, thanked the president and all the guests for attending the unveiling of his autobiography.

He admitted that annulling the June 12 election was the most challenging decision of his life, saying he would have handled the situation differently if given another chance.

“Undoubtedly, credible, free and fair elections were held on June 12, 1993.

” However, the tragic irony of history remains that the administration that devised a near-perfect electoral system and conducted those near-perfect elections could not complete the process.

“That accident of history is most regrettable.

” The nation is entitled to expect my expression of regret.

” As a leader of the military administration, I accept full responsibility for all decisions taken under my watch,” he said .

Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, former Vice President and the book’s reviewer, said Babangida admitted in the book that Abiola scored a majority vote.

He said Abiola also secured a wider spread, winning a quarter of the votes in two-thirds of the states of the federation. (NAN) (www.nannews.ng)

Coy trains 100 almajiris on skills in Kaduna

58 total views today

By Sani Idris

A firm, Nutriment Investment Hub Ltd, on Thursday began a three-month training of 100 teenage Almajiris on various skills in Kaduna.

Amlajiris are children who leave their families to study Islam in Qur’anic schools, mostly in the northern part of the country.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the company is a subsidiary of Nutriment Feeds and Nutriment Holdings.

The Almajiri children would be trained on alternative farming, which is sack farming and gardening, livestock, poultry farming, shoe cobbling, soap and pomade making, among others.

Mr Dauda Oche, the Group’s Head of the company, said they organised the programme tagged, “Almajiri Lets Farm”, as a corporate social responsibility.

Oche said that the firm had realised that there were a lot of things that they needed to do as a company.

He explained that the programme was a community-based initiative designed to empower the almajiri children with practical agricultural and life skills through practical training.

According to Oche, the programme seeks to provide the almajiri children with sustainable
 skills that could enhance their food security, self-sufficiency and long-term livelihood opportunities.

He, therefore, said the programme was aimed at introducing the children to agriculture and enhancing their self-sufficiency.

This is by providing life-long skills, encouraging environmental sustainability and
 fostering community involvement.

Oche emphasised: “The aim is not for people to come as aid to support the Almajiris, but to collaborate with the stakeholders for a sustainable outcome for the future of the Almajiris.

“For us, we are not saying that philanthropists should come and give us money for free, that era is over.

“We want to see an era of collaboration, because we believe that the almajiris have dignity, talents and intelligence.”

Speaking further, Oche said they met some institutions like the Kaduna Polytechnic where they sought for 70 hectares of land for cultivation based on the training of the almajiris.

He said that they have had some training on precision agriculture where they could farm sorghum, maize, millet and soybeans.

Oche disclosed that the organisation was looking for the possibilities of empowering about 10, 000 almajiris in the nearest future.

He said, according to the World Health Organisation, about 8.5 to 10 million almajiris constitute 70 per cent of the out-of-school children.

Oche said, “If you empower that number, you can imagine the food security that will come instead of running about in the streets going from one place to the other.

“We realised that they will be more productive to the society and to themselves.

“If an almajiri can farm 22 tubers of yam, it could take care of the carbohydrate requirements for 365 days which is sufficient for the almajiri.

“If we put eight to 10 million Almajiris into such production, it will solve 10 to 20 per cent of carbohydrates requirements of the nation,”he said.

Oche said that a country like Brazil that has a population of 220 million people, earns about 100 million metric tonnes of grains from farming.

He, therefore, said Nigeria, which has a population of about 230 million people and an average of production of 11.5 million metric tonnes, showed a lot of deficits.

“The size of arable lands that we are utilising is less than 50 per cent. with this initiative, I believe we can do much more,”he explained.

Earlier, the Chairman, Kaduna State House of Assembly Committee on Education, Mahmoud Lawal, commended the organisation for empowering the almajiris.

He restated the government’s commitment to supporting such programmes, ensuring that almajiri children acquired skills for self-sufficiency.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that the training’s duration is for three months.

It will take place simultaneously at Unguwar Rimi, Badarawa, Babban Saura, Rigasa and Badiko.(NAN)

Nigeria needs disruptive strategy to make significant progress – Nwala

56 total views today

By Philip Yatai

A lawyer and policy strategist, Dr Oracle Nwala, says Nigeria needs a disruptive strategy to achieve its governance and development goals for the benefits of all citizens.

Nwala stated this at the official unveiling of his book entitled, “Disruptive Strategies: Unveiling Personal Definitive Strategists”, in Abuja on Wednesday.

The author, an eminent member of the global legal community with over 25 years of experience in Nigeria’s legal and policy space, said that disruptive strategy would move the country forward.

Nwala, a member of the Senior Executive Course 43, National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies, Kuru, Jos, defined disruptive strategy as essentially doing something the way it works with no regard to laid down procedures.

He added that it also entails looking at a system and taking decisions that work to get the needed results.

He recalled that President Bola Tinubu had disrupted Nigeria’s economy with the removal of fuel subsidy on the day he was inaugurated as president of the country.

Nwala said that the action was paying off with the economy gradually picking up and things getting better by the day.

According to him, what Nigerians need is continued disruption.

“Let us disrupt things that are not working; let’s disrupt things that are not helping us. The philosophy, the ideas and everything we have thought about and are not working let’s jettison them.

“Artificial Intelligence has disrupted the technology space and now young people are doing much more than we have ever done – this is disruption,” he said.

At a personal level, the author said that the book unveils the untapped potential within each individual to chart a unique path to success and fulfilment.

He added that by advocating a paradigm shift, the book underscores the importance of prioritising personal strategy alongside traditional business approaches to succeed.

“Disruptive Strategy empowers readers to confront life’s challenges with confidence and resilience, unlocking their full potential and achieving lasting fulfilment.

“Serving as a roadmap for those ready to break free from the ordinary, transcend limitations and embrace a life of purpose and achievement, the book is an invitation to seize control of your personal journey and thrive in the modern world.

“Whether redefining your personal or professional path, disruptive strategy combines real-world insights, practical tools and a deeply personal methodology to help you build resilience, think strategically and dominate your niche,” he said.

The book reviewer, Prof. Ahmed Okene, Provost, National Defence College, Abuja, said that disruptive strategy was simply querying existing norms or methods to achieve results.

Okene said that the book, made up of 12 chapters and 331 pages, provides a step-by-step guide on how to adopt disruptive strategy to achieve personal, governance, entrepreneurship, economy and other goals.

“In terms of governance and leadership, applying disruptive strategy means you will have to question the existing status quo to achieve desired results.

“People are used to doing things in a certain way; the way it is done but with disruptive strategy, you will have to query what you see; disorganise the system to reorganise it for it to work.

“In governance, you will have to think from a perspective that others have not thought of before,” he said.

One of Nwala’s coursemates at the National Institute, Mr Mukhtar Galadima, described the book as an eye opener in governance, leadership and personal life.

Galadima, the Director of Development Control, Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), said: “What the book is simply saying is, don’t always follow protocol. Whatever will give you results, do it.

“The most important thing is getting the desired results.

“The FCT Minister, Mr Nyesom Wike, my boss, is applying this disruptive strategy and you can see the results,” he said. (NAN)

By Salif Atojoko

Former military president, retired Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, on Thursday accepted full responsibility for the annulment of the June 12, 1993, presidential election.

 

He said the annulment of the election was a most regrettable incident in the country’s history.

 

Babangida made the remarks at the presentation of his autobiography entitled ‘A Journey in Service’ and the inauguration of his presidential library in Abuja.

 

“I have had to contend with this question all the time—when will you tell your side of the story?

 

“Understandably, our period of service has evoked many questions and stories among the public.

 

” This book, which chronicles my experiences, decisions, and challenges, tries to answer some of these questions from my modest perspective,” he said.

 

Babangida highlighted the reforms and challenges his government faced, particularly on the economy, foreign affairs, defence and national security.

 

He noted that inspite of the sacrifices and inconveniences endured by Nigerians during his tenure, his administration was committed to leaving the country better than it was.

 

Babangida acknowledged the significance of the June 12 election, widely regarded as Nigeria’s freest and fairest at the time.

 

He, however, expressed regret that his administration, which had designed the electoral system that produced such a credible process, ultimately failed to complete it.

 

“That accident of history is most regrettable.

 

” The nation is entitled to expect my expression of regret.

 

“As the leader of the military administration, I accept full responsibility for all decisions taken under my watch, and June 12 happened under my watch.

 

“Mistakes, oversight, and missteps happened in quick succession, but as I state in my book, in all matters, we acted in the supreme national interest so that Nigeria could survive,” he said.

 

He acknowledged that his administration’s actions disrupted the nation’s transition to civilian rule but emphasised that the country ultimately overcame the setback.

 

Babangida said the country’s march to democracy was interrupted, adding that he deeply regretted this.(NAN) (www.nannews.ng)

NAHCON reiterates commitment to Pilgrims’ welfare

79 total views today

 

The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) says it is engaging with the Saudi service provider, Mashariq al Dhahabia, over alleged contract breach.

 

NAHCON head of Public Affairs, Muhammad Musa, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.

 

Musa said that the NAHCON has a record of keeping to contractual commitments since its inception.

 

“NAHCON has been honouring all contractual commitments, upholding the standards of transparency and accountability.

 

“On January 17, 2025, during a pre-Hajj visit following the Hajj exhibition, NAHCON and Mashariq al Dhahabia entered into an agreement to provide ground and Masha’ir services for Nigerian States’ Pilgrims.

 

“The decision to supplement Mashariq’s services with an additional provider was made after identifying operational challenges specifically, issues with Mashariq’s listing on the Saudi Visa Portal, Nusuk,” Musa said.

 

He said in spite of the identified challenges and to ensure pilgrim welfare, NAHCON’s proactive decision to engage a supplementary provider was driven by the need to meet stringent Saudi deadlines and to ensure uninterrupted service to Nigerian Pilgrims.

 

“NAHCON is also committed to excellence, transparency and the welfare of Nigerian Pilgrims in service provision of this sacred journey.

 

“Subsequent corrective actions by Mashariq al Dhahabia, NAHCON’s proactive decision to engage a supplementary provider was driven by the need to meet stringent Saudi deadlines and to ensure uninterrupted service to Nigerian Pilgrims.”

 

He said NAHCON would continue to explore all corrective measures to settle all perceived misunderstandings arising from the alleged legal action to be taken by the said service provider, Mashariq al Dhahabia.

 

He said all action by NAHCON would be guided by the mission to guarantee optimum service to Nigerian pilgrims.

 

“NAHCON firmly rejects any attempt to create confusion or compromise the welfare of the Nigerian Pilgrims.

 

“Instead the Commission’s strategy is to foster a competitive environment that is aimed at reducing costs and enhancing service quality.

 

“NAHCON remains steadfast in its commitment to contractual integrity and the well-being of the Nigerian Pilgrims.

 

“The Commission will continue striving to operate with transparency and accountability, undeterred by allegations or attempts to undermine its mission.”(NAN)
