Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State has lamented over his inability to control the security architecture in the state.
Lawal said he has no control over heads of security agencies in the state, stressing that they take directives from their superiors.
Speaking during a town hall meeting to mark Nigeria’s 25th Democracy Day in Abuja on Wednesday, the governor decried the activities of bandits in the state.
According to Lawal: “By name, I am the chief security officer of my state but when it comes to command and control, I don’t have control over any of the security outfit whether the military, the police or civil defence.
“They take their instructions from their superiors not from the governors. We don’t have that control, I wish we do have, it would have been a different story.”
He said the security situation in the state has not improved owing to what he described as political interference.
According to the governor, the security agencies have all it takes to crush criminal elements across the country, if they have the political will.

Nigeria records 1,141 cholera cases, 30 deaths in six months — NCDC
The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday warned the public of the increasing trend of cholera cases across the country as the rainy season intensifies.
The NCDC, in a statement signed by its Director General, Dr Jide Idris, said from January 1st to June 11th, 2024, a total of 1,141 suspected and 65 confirmed cases of cholera with 30 deaths have been reported from 96 LGAs in 30 states.
The centre noted that the 10 states that contributed 90 to the burden of cholera include Bayelsa, Zamfara, Abia, Cross River, Bauchi, Delta, Katsina, Imo, Nasarawa, and Lagos states.
It, however, stated that a multi-sectoral National Cholera Technical Working Group, led by the centre and comprising the Federal Ministries of Environment and Water Resources, the National Primary Health Care Development Agency, the World Health Organisation, the United Nations Children’s Fund, and other partners, has been providing support to the affected states.
“This support includes risk communication, active case search, laboratory diagnosis, case management, provision of response commodities, water sanitation and hygiene interventions, and dissemination of Cholera awareness jingles in English and local languages,” it said.
Cholera is a food and water-borne disease, caused by the ingestion of the organism Vibrio cholerae in contaminated water and food. Water is usually contaminated by the faeces of infected individuals.
Contamination of drinking water can occur at the source, during transportation, or storage at home. Food may be contaminated by soiled hands, either during preparation or while eating.
“Beverages prepared with contaminated water and sold by street vendors, ice, and even commercial bottled water have been implicated as vehicles of transmission, as have cooked vegetables and fruits freshened with untreated wastewater.
“The time between infection and the appearance of symptoms is two hours to five days. It has a higher risk of transmission in areas that lack adequate sanitation facilities and a regular supply of clean water. Unsafe practices such as improper disposal of refuse and open defecation endanger the safety of water used for drinking and personal use,” NCDC highlighted.
Symptoms of cholera include acute profuse, painless watery diarrhoea (rice water stools) of sudden onset, with or without vomiting. It may be associated with nausea, profuse vomiting, and fever. Severe cases can lead to death within hours due to dehydration (massive body fluid loss). However, most infected people (about 80 per cent) may only show mild symptoms or have no symptoms at all.
The agency noted that people most at risk of cholera are people of all ages living in places with limited access to clean water, people living in areas with poor sanitation and poor hygiene, people living in slum areas where basic water or sanitation infrastructure is missing, people living in rural areas who depend on surface water or unsafe piped or borehole well water sources for drinking, and people who consume potentially contaminated food or fruits without washing and cooking properly.
Others are people who do not perform hand hygiene at appropriate times, man-made or natural disasters like floods resulting in population movements and overcrowded refugee camps, relatives who care for sick people with cholera at home, healthcare workers including doctors, nurses, and other health workers who provide direct patient care in the absence of standard precautions.
It also said the disease is easily treatable if detected early as most infected people can be treated successfully through prompt administration of oral rehydration solution, to replace lost fluids and electrolytes, and appropriate antibiotics.
NCDC informed that cholera can be prevented by ensuring access to safe, potable drinking water; proper sanitation and waste disposal; and appropriate hygiene including handwashing.
To reduce the risk of cholera, the NCDC advised the public to ensure that water is boiled and stored in a clean and covered container before drinking, and to practice good personal hand hygiene by washing your hands frequently with soap under clean running water, using alcohol-based hand sanitiser if soap and clean water are not available.
It also advised ensuring that food is well cooked before consumption, protecting food and water against contamination by flies and unsanitary handling; reheating leftover foods before ingestion, avoiding open defecation, indiscriminate refuse dumping, and proper disposal of waste and frequent clearing of sewage.
It advised healthcare workers to practice standard safety precautions and intensify surveillance efforts to report suspected cholera cases.
NCDC also urged the state governments to prioritise action for solutions that ensure access to and use of safe water, basic sanitation, and proper hygiene practices in communities.
“As the NCDC continues to work with partners to lead the health-sector response to cholera outbreaks, we call for an urgent improvement in access to clean water, proper sanitation, and hygiene,” it added.
Amid liquidation fears, CIBN assures of Nigerian banks safety, resilience
Following the revocation of the operating license of Heritage Bank Plc and the lingering worries on the health of other four banks in the country, the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN), on Wednesday, reassured Nigerians that the banking system remained “safe, sound and resilient”.
President of the institute, Prof. Pius Olanrewaju, gave the reassurance in a statement in Lagos to allay misinformation and “fake news” that the licences of more banks will be revoked by the Apex bank.
He emphasised the importance of clarifying rumours that additional bank licenses would be revoked following the regulatory action taken by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) against Heritage Bank Plc on June 3.
“We would like to allay the fears of bank customers and the general public that the assertion is false and misleading.

“The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) have debunked the claim,” he stated.
He added that the ongoing recapitalisation process announced by the CBN aims to further strengthen the resilience of banks and their capacity to support the growth of the Nigerian economy.
“Consequently, we urge the public to continue conducting their banking services without hesitation or apprehension,” Mr Olanrewaju said.
According to him, CIBN is committed to promoting best practices and ensuring that the sector remains safe and sound in collaboration with other stakeholders in the ecosystem.

Elected officials should earn minimum wage – Soludo
Anambra State Governor, Charles Soludo, has urged elected officials to start earning minimum wage, highlighting the urgent financial crisis facing Nigeria.
Soludo made this call on Wednesday at a special edition of The Platform, an event organized by The Covenant Nation to promote national development, stressing that Nigeria is financially strained.
He explained that Nigeria’s economic woes are exacerbated by the extravagant lifestyles of government officials, which are sustained at the expense of the nation’s wealth.
He proposed that these officials should be paid the minimum wage to understand the harsh realities faced by ordinary citizens, stressing that the current system is in a state of denial about the nation’s financial condition.
“Let’s come clean and straight with Nigerians. Nigeria is very poor and broke but the lifestyle of government and government officials does not show it, especially with the obscene flamboyance in public display,” Soludo said.
“The poor are hungry and impatient, let’s not annoy them more with our insensitivity.
“In this case, I agree with the reverend father Mbaka, who said elected governors should also earn minimum wage. I agree that we should be paid so that we can feel that as well.
“In Anambra, I have not received a kobo as salary since I assumed office. I have donated my salary to the state.
“It is symbolic. It is not much. I think generally, the system is in denial. There must be some signaling, it is just the symbolism of this,” he said.
Soludo called for a new code of conduct for public office holders to enhance fiscal prudence while performing the core duties for which they were elected.
Elected officials should earn minimum wage – Soludo
MultiChoice Nigeria; A legacy of monopoly and non-transparency
Our attention has been drawn to an advertorial published on page 27 of Vanguard Newspaper of Thursday, 6 June, 2024. It is our intention to review the said advertorial, signed by one Suleman Saki, allegedly a “public affairs analyst based in Abuja”, against the true position of things in the broadcast industry in Nigeria so we can confirm if he is operating from an altruistic purpose or he is promoting a particular private narrative.
It is not in doubt that MultiChoice Nigeria is the biggest investor in the entertainment industry in Nigeria, given its diverse and rich range of content offering. The question Suleman Sarki struggles answer is whether MultiChoice’s massive investments in the Nigerian entertainment industry gives it the leverage to distort competition in the broadcast industry or abuse consumer rights. His advertorial is erected on two broad planks;it accused MultiChoice of “disregard for regulatory compliance”/lack of transparency and “monopolistic practices that threaten the integrity of the Nigerian media sector”.
The accusations are a call to Nigerians to hate MultiChoice. For the first, the advertorial stated that between 2014 and 2023, MultiChoice Nigeria failed to comply with a provision of the National Broadcasting (NBC) Act requiring broadcasters to remit 2.5 per cent of their gross annual income to the NBC. This, he claimed, has robbed the Federal Government of N30 billion in revenue. He equally alleged that MultiChoice, in disregard for the NBC Code, has repeatedly prevented “regulatory oversight” and concealed its financial position by denying the NBC access to its accounts.
For these infractions, Sarki wants MultiChoice Nigeria investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for economic sabotage, penalised by the NBC for refusal to hand its financial, tax and accounting information over; compelled by the NBC to submit its financial information for regulatory assessment and break the presumed monopoly.
One does not need to be a sleuth to locate the source of the calumny against MultiChoice Nigeria. Interests, for whom Sarki is fronting, we can confidently state, are those who run pay television services, with government encouragement, on content pirated from MultiChoice, StarTimes and Qatari broadcasters, BeiN among others. They are the ones whose business plans contain just one tactic: stealing content produced or paid for by others.
It is pertinent to ask what computational method was used in arriving at the N30 billion MultiChoice is alleged to be owing the NBC. While it is public knowledge that MultiChoice instituted an action at the Federal High Court to challenge the NBC audit of its annual levy remittances and its exparte motion for an order to stop the audit was declined. However, the Court directed all parties to maintain status quo pending the determination of MultiChoice interlocutory application. The effect of this is that NBC is restrained from taking further steps in the matter until the interlocutory application is argued and ruling given.
The sponsors of the cheap work of calumny masquerading as advocacy are claiming that MultiChoice is owing for nine years. Whereas, we are aware MultiChoice has never defaulted either in submitting its audited accounts or payment of the levy to the NBC.
As industry stakeholders and a major voice of opposition to the extant NBC Code at the time it was issued, we are aware that Section 2 2 (10) (d) of the Code requires broadcasters to submit the Certified True Copies (CTCs) of their annual audited accounts to the NBC for the purpose of computing their annual levy on income at the rate of 2.5 per cent. It is curious that the NBC, which has not stated that MultiChoice has defaulted in payment or submission of audited accounts, is demanding documents other than what the NBC Code provides for. The NBC Act (2004) has no provision empowering the commission to audit licensees’ accounts. Bizarrely, the NBC says it is investigating the pay television company for years 2014-2023.However,the 6th NBC Code, to which the regulator is alleging non-compliance only become operational, in 2020. What was in operation prior to 2020 was the 5th Edition of the NBC Code, issued in 2012 and replaced by the current one in 2020.
According to both editions of the Code, the NBC’s request for documents not listed in its code as requirements for the computation of annual income levy is an overreach of NBC power and an attempt by NBC to unlawfully assume the powers of the Federal Inland Revenue Service. What the NBC requires are annual audited accounts. No more. No less. The audited accounts have been submitted yearly to the NBC, as evidenced by the commission’s reticence on that. In any language, NBC’s demand for documents the law does not empower it to demand, spells abuse of power.
It is common knowledge that most broadcasters do not pay the annual levy and that NBC has threatened at various occasions (to no avail to revoke their licences). So, it is rather strange that NBC is chasing after the only operator that duly pays its annual levy, which far outstrips the totality of annual levies paid by the entire broadcast industry. It is therefore pertinent to ask Sarki and his sponsors what computational method was used in arriving at the N30 billion MultiChoice is alleged to be owing the NBC. It is equally important to point out that neither the 5th or 6th NBC Code provided its intended definition of “income”, leaving room for contestations over whether it is turnover or revenue minus cost of production, which puts a bold question mark on the fidelity of the N30 billion quoted by the advertorial.
The second plank of the position of the interests Sarki represents contains their real agenda: to continuously parasitize MultiChoice. This is obvious in the unfounded claims that MultiChoice stifles competition, is a monopoly and determines tariffs payable because of its dominant position-all cumbersome euphemisms for “we want to keep pirating content”. This is framed as concern for the consumer and the pay television ecosystem. Pricing is determined by various inputs, including domestic economic dynamics and everyone knows the shape of the economy over the last nine years.
At the heart of the second allegation are the exclusive rights to certain content and channels held by MultiChoice. Evidence declines to support the claim that MultiChoice is a monopoly or stifles competition. We recall that in 2022, the Competition and Consumer Protection Tribunal (CCPT) ruled that there was no evidence that MultiChoice had abused its dominant position. Also, importantly, we are aware that other pay television service providers operate, with some holding or having once held exclusive rights to content. StarTimes, we are aware, once had exclusive rights to the matches of the Italian football league, better known as Serie A. It currently has exclusive rights to the matches of the German football league (Bundesliga) and the Nigeria Professional Football League. For the first two, it outbid MultiChoice for the rights. The service provider is still in existence and does not pirate content to run its operations.
Before StarTimes, there was HiTv, which wrested the rights to matches of the English Premier League from MultiChoice and held them for three years until it was, as the founder, Toyin Subair, stated “collapsed essentially because of a clause in our original Shareholders Agreement, which allowed a group of founding shareholders to block the company raising money or selling off a subsidiary”. The collapse had nothing to do with MultiChoice.
After HiTv came Kwese, which operated for a little over two years until it was undone by its inability to meet multiple payments to third party partners because it could not quickly gain subscribers and the necessary cashflow. Its unfortunate collapse had nothing to do with MultiChoice. Neither did it pirate other operators’ content.
The campaign of calumny against MultiChoice did not just start. It manifests in a number of ways, with the issue of exclusivity a major one. Those casting covetous glances at MultiChoice’s success have been strident in falsely depicting content exclusivity as a crime and are emboldened to pirate content with encouragement from formal and informal quarters. Their hand was revealed in the now judicially-annulled amendment to the 6th edition of NBC Code, which sought to prohibit content exclusivity and compel sub-licensing to competitors on terms determined by the NBC and in flagrant indifference to the Copyright Act.
Some elements within the government of the time, cheered on by freebooters in the pay television ecosystem, promoted a variety of misguided beliefs about exclusivity. Notable among these were views that acquisition of broadcasting rights are anomalous; that some broadcasters are just handed exclusive rights; that the content market is closed off to Nigerian broadcasters; and that exclusivity stifles competition.
The truth about content exclusivity is that it is a widely accepted commercial practice required for a viable pay television ecosystem. Given that it is usually for a short time, three or four years in many cases, it cannot be considered anti-competitive, as other operators are at liberty to bid when the holder’s right to it expires. The grant of exclusive broadcasting licenses falls within the lawful exercise of copyright and it is widely accepted that, as far as the Copyright Law is concerned, a right owner has the right to refuse to license other users/firms, and to restrict exploitation of its intellectual property either to itself or to a licensee of its own choice. In the United Kingdom and the United States of America, there is no statutory prohibition of exclusive rights acquisition.There is equally no statutory requirement to sub-license sports or news content to competition or at rates determined by the regulator.
It is common knowledge that the sale of broadcasting rights is a competitive process, with rights owners seeking to extract maximum value from the property. As such, it is open to any broadcaster with the desire and means to acquire such rights. The proof of this, if any is needed, is StarTimes, which outbid MultiChoice for live broadcast of Germany’s Bundesliga. Other operators had, at one time or the other, acquired exclusive rights to matches of the French elite football division (Ligue Un) Copa del Rey and the Portuguese League, for instance. There are also numerous broadcast properties on the international content market for operators to bid for and acquire in addition to producing their own exclusive content.
Unfortunately, the desire of many operators is to wait for another operator to acquire the rights and/or finance production, invest in marketing and promotion, only for them to demand the property to be sold at prices that are close to derisory. It is akin to demanding subsidies. If the Federal Government is removing subsidies on various items and services, it is irrational to expect a private business to subsidize competition or anybody for that matter. It stands to reason that there will be no incentive to acquire or produce exciting broadcast properties if the only thing operators need to do is to leech on the one with more imagination backed by investment. To have such a system is to open the industry to hypocrites and parasites. Both have no place in the industry ecosystem.

Former APC chieftain, Salihu Lukman, warns of impending doom for ruling party
Salihu Lukman, former Director General of the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF) and ex-National Vice Chairman, North West, of the All Progressives Congress (APC), declared on Wednesday that the party’s fortunes are dwindling rapidly.
Lukman attributed this decline to the demobilization of party structures and the government’s policies, which have eroded citizens’ income value and worsened living conditions.
“Given a reality that the party structures have been demobilized and the government is implementing policies that have eroded the value of incomes of citizens, conditions of living are rapidly getting worse by the day. With that, both the APC and the governments it controls are getting more and more unpopular.
“It doesn’t require any investigation, at this rate, there is no way we can win election except through rigging. The popular saying in the country now is that President Tinubu is a one-term President. The hard truth is that the country will be lucky to get to 2027, without witnessing upheavals,” he stated.
Read Also: Labour Party charges Tinubu to make public offices unattractive
Lukman’s statement painted a dire picture, suggesting that the APC’s unpopularity is growing by the day, making it impossible to win elections without resorting to rigging.
He ominously predicted that President Tinubu’s tenure may be limited to one term, and that the country may face upheavals before 2027 if things continue on this trajectory.
This blunt assessment from a former high-ranking party official has sparked concerns about the APC’s future and the government’s ability to address the country’s economic and social challenges.
Lukman’s words have added to the growing chorus of criticism, fueling speculation about the party’s chances in upcoming elections.
The statement has also raised questions about the government’s policies and their impact on citizens’ welfare, as well as the party’s ability to reconnect with its base and regain lost ground. As the political landscape continues to shift, Lukman’s warning serves as a stark reminder of the challenges ahead for the APC and the government.

EFCC should focus on budget padding, undisclosed subsidy payment not Bobrisky – Obi
The presidential candidate of Labour Party in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, has the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, should focus on investigating more important issues like the allegations of budget padding and return of fuel subsidy.
Obi, who spoke on Wednesday when he featured on an Arise TV programme, said arresting Nigerians over abuse of the local currency, Naira should not be the focus of the anti-graft agency.
According to him, the arrest of the controversial cross-dresser and social media celebrity Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky and others for abusing naira notes “are minor issues”.
He said, “If it is not budget padding today, it would be undisclosed subsidy payment, inflated contracts, and all sorts of things.
“These are issues I want our agencies like EFCC to start dealing with but not arresting Bobrisky and Cubana Chief Priest. These are minor issues.
“Our agencies should face budget padding squarely not arresting Bobrisky because he dressed like a woman and spent N500 notes”.
Recall that the lawmaker representing Bauchi Central Senatorial District, Mr Abdul Ningi had in an interview in March, alleged discrepancies in the 2024 budget.
The senator claimed that the National Assembly approved N25tn while the President signed N28.7tn.
Similarly, there are claims that President Bola Tinubu has returned part of fuel subsidy that was abolished on May 29 2023.
The presidency has, however, denied the claim, insisting that fuel subsidy is gone.

Lagos, FERMA join forces to fix roads, address drainage woes
The Federal Road Maintenance Agency has proposed signing a Memorandum of Understanding with the Lagos State Government to fix some bad portions of the state’s federal roads.
This was disclosed by the FERMA Managing Director, Chukwuemeka Agbasi, during his visit to the South West 2 Zone (Lagos and Ogun states) on Wednesday.
During the inspection of federal road projects in Lagos, Agbasi stated that the agency considered signing an MOU with the Lagos Waste Management Authority due to the deplorable condition of the Moshalasi road in Mushin, which he said was caused by the blocked drainage system.
Agbasi, who visited different sites during the working visit, assured Lagosians of proffering solutions to the road.
“On arrival, we started with the drainage problem we have in Mushin. We have been able to assess what the problem is, which is primarily blocked drainage. We were also able to proffer solutions where we felt that closer collaboration would be needed with the Lagos State Environmental Agency.
“We are looking at having an MoU with them, with clearly defined outcomes on what each party will be responsible for. The MoU will commit the different parties to different tangible outcomes,” Agbasi said.
The MD maintained that immediate desilting work had begun on the road to put an end to traffic gridlock and ameliorate the plights of road users.
“We have started desilting existing drainages to allow the water to flow. Water is the worst enemy for our roads, once the drainage system starts overflowing it affects the people. The desilting work is ongoing, and we will continue to do that,” he added.
Our correspondent reports that Agbasi inspected the ongoing renovation work on the Ijora Causeway, following years of its dilapidated condition due to drainage problems.
The project, which aimed at reinstating critically failed sections, access slab and desilting of lined drain along the road, will be completed in two months and open for traffic, according to the FERMA boss.
Agbasi also inspected the Ile-Epo site, along the Lagos-Abeokuta expressway, where FERMA recovered the previously used road by clearing a section of the road of garbage and waste.
He stressed the need to collaborate with the local government to ensure the maintenance and safeguarding of the project.
The Chairman of Agbado-Oke Odo Local Council Development Area, David Famuyiwa, expressed his excitement about the fixed road and assured cooperation with the agency.
“I know they have not completed the Ile-Epo road, they are just starting, but for the part they have done, we are satisfied. I am sure various vehicles are plying the road without any hindrance. As soon as they complete it, we will take it as our responsibility to maintain the road,” Famuyiwa said.
JUST IN: EU fines Hungary €200m for breaching asylum laws
The EU’s top court fined Hungary 200 million euros ($216 million) and imposed a daily one-million-euro penalty for failing to follow the bloc’s asylum laws and illegally deporting migrants.
The fine and penalty were because Budapest “is deliberately evading” compliance with the European Union laws despite a 2020 ruling that it must uphold international procedures for asylum seekers, the European Court of Justice said.
