By Williams Ochonu

It is said that, “Leadership is often defined by one’s ability to inspire, influence, and drive positive change”. Ahmed’s journey is a testament to this definition, as he seamlessly embodies excellence in every endeavor he undertakes. From his early life to his current role in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC),

From a humble beginning, Yushau Dogara Ahmed has emerged as a beacon of excellence in his role as the Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). With his unwavering dedication and commitment to the betterment of Nigerian youth, Ahmed has left an indelible mark on the NYSC, and has become a symbol of inspiration for generations to come.

Born and raised in a small town in northern Nigeria, Ahmed’s journey to the top of the NYSC was not an easy feat attained on a platter of gold. Growing up in a modest household, he faced numerous challenges and setbacks along the way.

Brig Gen YD Ahmed was born in Kagarko, Kaduna State on December 28, 1971. On that day, a new dream to the world was set on the pace and path which life has placed him in. Little did everyone knew that this gift of a child would later become a pillar that would support a great nation of over 200 million citizens.

Ahmed’s association with excellence can be traced back to his early life. From a young age, he exhibited a natural curiosity and determination to excel.

NSA, CDS, Army chief visit Fubara, gov faults pipeline contract

Siminalayi Fubara, the governor of Rivers State, has criticized the federal government for giving the pipeline surveillance contract to just one business and person.

The governor warned that such a development might have an impact on the region’s efforts to combat oil theft.

When a group came to meet him at Government House in Port Harcourt on Saturday, Fubara made this statement under the leadership of Nuhu Ribadu, the national security adviser.

Mele Kyari, group chief executive officer of Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, had defended the government’s choice to award Tantita Security Services, allegedly owned by former militant leader Government Ekpemupolo, also known as Tompolo, the multibillion-naira pipeline surveillance contract.

In response to the delegation’s comments, Fubara criticized the government’s choice and said it was unacceptable. In order to get the intended outcome, he claimed that more persons from the many states and ethnic nationalities in the area should have been given the task.

“I believe that in order to solve the problems, we must look locally, but security of pipelines shouldn’t be left in the hands of one man,” he said. How is the pipeline in Onne LGA under the authority of someone from Kalabari? How is it possible for someone in Onne LGA to influence what occurs in Ogoni?

It’s not feasible right now. We need to think about hiring everyone who is important in the various communities.

Fubara noted that his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, took the threat of illegal oil refining head-on and claimed that the state had always been in the forefront of the fight against it.

Fubara asked Niger Delta leaders to band together and make sure that their two sons overseeing the petroleum ministries were successful in their respective portfolios, pointing out that everyone would gain from the new course being pursued by President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
He said, “Two of our sons, from the states of Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom, are in charge of the petroleum ministry. We want them to succeed. We must offer them the assistance they require. Given that we are already working on it, you shouldn’t have even considered arriving. You need to have merely given me a call to get the situation report.

However, he claimed that in comparison to its contribution to the national economy, the Niger Delta was not reaping the benefits it should. He instructed the group to speak with the appropriate persons in order to obtain the necessary data.

Ribadu had earlier stated that the Tinubu-led administration was prepared to handle everything properly in order to bring the country back on track.

According to Ribadu, the Federal Government has continued to value the crude oil and gas-rich region, thus it is taking all necessary steps to reorient the region.

We are here at Tinubu’s own request, the NSA declared. As the Minister of Defense stated, Mr. President’s commitment is the reason we are present. Mr. President thinks that this region of Nigeria does matter a lot. Of course, the Niger Delta’s inhabitants require peace as well as access to resources.

We have instructions from him. This is the entirety of federal power, as you can see. We have gathered here strategic people and offices. This demonstrates a dedication to and a conviction that, as the minister of defense put it, enough is enough. New chapter has begun.

“We think the time has come to act morally, and we’re going to do it,”

General Christopher Musa, the CDS, and Lt.-Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja, the Chief of Army Staff, were also present in the delegation.

Muhammed Badaru, the Minister of Defense, Bello Matawalle, the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil), Heineken Lokpobiri, and Ekperipe Ekpo, the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas), were the others.

Police detain 150 IPOB members as residents flee Imo, Anambra

Between January and August 2023, the Imo State Police Command reported that it had detained around 150 terrorists who belonged to the Independent People of Biafra’s Eastern Security Network, also known as unidentified gunmen.

Several Imo and Anambra state residents and some Nigerians of South Eastern ancestry who recently migrated to the South-Western part of the country have revealed how the insurgency brought on by the actions of the group known as the gunmen has caused a mass exodus of people from the Eastern part of the country.

Though the Anambra Police Command spokesperson was unavailable for comment, Henry Okoye, the police public relations officer for the Imo State Command, told our correspondent over the phone that the CP’s order to stop and search people has had a negative impact on IPOB/ESN activity.

The difficulty that we have been dealing with for more than three years, he remarked. The Imo State Police Command, however, is making every effort to secure the state under the direction of Commissioner of Police Mohammed Barde. Security has improved, and we’ve increased patrol.

“The CP has ordered tactical commanders and area commanders to deploy personnel and do feasibility policing and stop and search in important points in the state, and it has assisted in decreasing the activities of these IPOB and ESN people,” the CP said.

“We also have our SID officers who collaborate with the DSS, and this has assisted us in getting reliable information that has assisted us in raiding and dismantling multiple IPOB/ESN camps. Due to this, between January of this year and the present, we have detained more than 150 criminal members of IPOB and ESN as well as individuals responsible for armed robberies and kidnappings in Imo State.

Imo State is now more secure than it was. Only the areas along Oguta LGA and Okigwe, which are areas that share a border with other states, are an issue for us right now. We have already secured Owerri and are working to secure Orlu.

Some of these criminals used to go from nearby states, cause havoc, and then leave. However, with the backing of the governor, Hope Uzodinma, we are working to secure all state entrances in order to drive these criminals out.

While this is going on, some locals who spoke with our correspondent noted that markets are typically not as busy as they once were. They also stated that the IPOB-induced insurgency has given other criminal elements and groups the confidence to continue committing crimes like armed robbery, rape, assassination, and banditry.

Because of the actions of these IPOB members, the South-East is no longer safe. especially the state of Imo. Recently, these ‘unknown gunmen’ entered a Mbaise king’s palace and murdered the man. How about the average person, if a king is no longer safe?

“I used to live in Mbaise, but I currently reside in Akure, Ondo State, as I don’t feel comfortable there. I was born and raised in Imo State, where I lived there for more than 20 years till I moved out about two weeks ago, despite the fact that I am mostly Igbo and partially Yoruba. Johnson was the young man who made this claim.

I live here in Owerri, Imo State, said a young woman who only gave her first name, Ijeoma, out of dread of the masked gunmen. We haven’t slept a wink since their brutality began. Because they may show up at any time, especially on Mondays to attack and murder people, our markets are now deserted, and the majority of our stores are typically empty.

“Many individuals are currently escaping Owerri and scurrying to Lagos. Rape and robbery have also escalated in Owerri as a result of these factors. A guy and his wife were robbed of more than N2 million today (Saturday), and the well-known phone store SLOT was looted a few days ago. It now occurs on a regular basis.

A 31-year-old man who only went by the name Chinedu stated, “These IPOB men are not at least putting our minds at ease here in Anambra, Ihiala LGA, where I live. The market or the waterways are not peaceful places to visit. We hope the government will help us because it is exhausting.

In Awka, Anambra State, I reside. The insecurity has forced almost all of my friends and cousins to relocate to Lagos and Ibadan from Anambra. A second Anambra resident, Chukwudi, informed our correspondent, “Our businesses are no longer growing as many people now fear going to the market since they don’t know when the unknown gunmen may attack.

Ex-SSG faults ministers receiving pension as former govs

Former governors who collect life pensions, exotic automobiles, and other advantages from their states while serving as ministers, according to Prof. Yahaya Kuta, a former secretary to the Niger State Government, face a moral weight.

Kuta advised the ministers to follow the example of Senator Gbenga Daniel, a former governor of Ogun State, who claimed to have written to the state administration to have his pension suspended ever since he was elected to the Senate.

In an interview with our correspondent on Saturday, the former SSG made this statement. The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, in particular, encouraged President Bola Tinubu to compel the former governors in his cabinet to stop collecting pensions before he spoke, as did other civil society organizations.

On Monday, Tinubu officially welcomed a group of former governors into his cabinet. They are Atiku Bagudu (Kebbi), Bello Matawalle (Zamfara), David Umahi (Ebonyi), Simon Lalong (Plateau), Nyesom Wike (Rivers), Abubakar Badaru (Jigawa), Adegboyega Oyetola (Osun), and Ibrahim Geidam (Yobe).

Former Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki says he ceased getting pension payments from the state in August 2017 after serving as governor of Kwara State from 2003 to 2011. SERAP has praised the action.

“They should take a hint from Senator Gbenga Daniel who wrote his state governor to subsequently stop his pension from the state,” the former SSG observed.

The spirit is that! They don’t need to be informed since taking a double ration in a situation where your population are severely suffering from hunger, misery, and hopelessness is immoral.

FG refutes claim Nigerian ambassador to Niger was expelled

The Federal Government refuted a claim that Mohammed Usman, the nation’s ambassador to the Republic of Niger, had been expelled from the nation on Saturday.

Francisca Omayuli, who serves as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ spokesperson, pleaded with the people to ignore such reports in a statement.

The statement said, “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been alerted to rumors circulating on social media that the Nigerian Ambassador to the Republic of Niger, H. E. Mohammed Usman, was expelled on Friday, August 25, 2023, and given 48 hours to depart the country.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wants to make it known to the public that this information is untrue and should be ignored as a result.

The Federal Government of Nigeria issues a warning against the dissemination of unreliable information that could endanger the ECOWAS’s ongoing efforts to mediate the political impasse in Niger.

Contractors to commence work on Abuja airport second runway soon – Keyamo

Festus Keyamo, the minister of aviation and aerospace development, revealed that the second runway construction contractors at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja will soon begin their work.

This occurred when the minister held a meeting with Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory, to discuss the relocation and compensation of Abuja residents who were impacted by the proposed construction of a second runway for the NAIA.

On Saturday, the minister made this information public on his verified X page, a site that replaced Twitter.

Before development began on the property, the minister argued that it was imperative that the locals be paid and relocated.

Don’t forget that in 2022, the Federal Government donated 12,000 hectares of land for the construction of a few aviation projects.

The China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation Nigeria Limited was also given the building site for the second runway at the Abuja airport.

A maintenance repair and overhaul facility, an aviation leasing firm, agro-allied cargo terminals, an airport city or aerotropolis, a national carrier, an African Aerospace and Aviation University, among other things, would also be built on the property.

Keyamo mentioned that he also spoke with the Foreign Affairs Ministry to address the problem with Emirates Airline flights to Dubai/UAE. He continued by saying that both ministries are collaborating to find a solution to this issue as well as the associated worry about the resumed issuance of Dubai visas to Nigerians.

The following is the statement’s full text: “Earlier today, I met with my counterparts in the FCT and Foreign Affairs Ministries to work together to resolve difficulties facing our Ministries.

The first is to collaborate with the FCT Ministry to find a solution to the problem of the FCT natives who must be made whole and moved before the development of the second runway at the Abuja airport can get under way seriously. To go to the site, the contractors have been mobilized.

“The second is to cooperate with the Foreign Affairs Ministry to find a solution to the problem with the restart of Emirates Airline flights to Dubai/UAE and the associated problem of the restart of the issuing of Dubai visas to Nigerians.

“We are currently advancing on these issues.”

Tribunal dismisses petitions against Kaduna PDP Reps

The petitions filed against two members of the People’s Democratic Party of the House of Representatives were denied by the National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal in Kaduna State.

The applications filed against David Gurara, who represents the Kachia/Kagarko Federal Constituency, and Bashir Shadow, a member who represents the Kauru Federal Constituency, were both dismissed by the tribunal on Saturday.

In the House of Representatives election held on February 25, 2023, the Independent National Electoral Commission returned the two federal representatives to office.

The candidates for the All Progressives Congress, Gabriel Zock and Mukhtar Zakari, brought the two PDP members before the tribunal.

Zock asked the tribunal to overturn INEC’s proclamation and order new elections in his appeal, alleging that voting had not taken place in 43 polling places.

Additionally, Zakari had filed a case against Shadow, claiming that he had submitted a forgery of a school transcript.

Zock’s petition was heard by the tribunal’s chairman, Justice H.H. Kereng, who ruled that the petitioner had not offered sufficient evidence to support his claims.

Justice Maiwada Abubakar also dismissed Zakari’s petition during her ruling on it because it lacked merit.
