Private jet owners must submit technical log August 2 – NCAA

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority has ordered holders of the permits for non-commercial flights, who have refused to furnish the agency with information on their technical logs for the past two years, to do so on or before August 2, to avoid sanction.

The ultimatum was given in a letter signed by the General Manager of Facilitation/Economic Regulation at the NCAA, Olusunmibo Oyerinde, recently.

The aviation regulatory authority requested technical and operational data on each of the private jets, such as; journey logs and maintenance information, among other information, on the private jets.

It will be recalled that the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, recently accused holders of the permits for non-commercial flights of aiding illicit jet owners to perpetrate illegalities in the country.

To verify the movement of the private jets, the NCAA requested the technical log records for the past two years with an August 2 ultimatum after many of the permit holders earlier ignored the NCAA’s request.

The letter specified that all PNCF operators must submit their tech log records for the past two years by completing the summary sheet, which details the number of sectors flown per month per aircraft, as outlined in the attached PNCF Operations Tech Log Form.

The ultimatum letter reads, “This is a follow-up on the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority’s previous correspondence regarding the submission of your Tech Log for the past two years. The Authority is yet to receive the required documents from you.

“Therefore, in line with part (g) of the conditions attached to your permit, you are again reminded to forward to the NCAA, the tech log information of your operations for the last two years by completing the summary sheet with details of the number of sectors flown per month per aircraft, as indicated in the attached PNCF operations tech log form.

“The completed PNCF operations tech log form should reach the Authority on or before Friday, 2nd August 2024.”

 In July, the NCAA suspended 10 private jet companies for illegally engaging in commercial activities.

Spokesperson of the NCAA, Micheal Achimugu, noted that the suspension was rooted in the Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations 2023 Part 18.3.4, which forbids holders of permits for non-commercial flights from using their aircraft for carriage of passengers, cargo or mail for hire or reward which is commercial operation or charter service.

The suspended operators were Azikel Dredging Nigeria Ltd, Bli-Aviation Safety Services, Ferry Aviation Developments Ltd, Matrix Energy Ltd, Marrietta Management Services Ltd, Worldwide Skypaths Services, Mattini Airline Services Ltd, Aero Lead Ltd, Sky Bird Air Ltd and Ezuma Jets Ltd.

The minister in June inaugurated the Ministerial Task Force on Illegal Private Charter Operations and Related Matters, to combat the issue of unauthorised and illegal charter flights.

Aviation industry needs credible data – AGHAN

The Chairman of the Aviation Ground Handling Association of Nigeria, Olaniyi Adigun, has said for the industry to rise above multiple challenges currently facing it in the country, it must have credible data to track activities as well as achievements.

 He also said the need for collaboration and consolidation cannot be overemphasised in the journey to achieve prosperity in the Nigerian aviation sector.

Adigun spoke at a gathering of aviation stakeholders recently in Lagos, regretting that the sector was yet to be taken as a critical business as being done elsewhere.

He stressed that the industry could take a cue from the financial sector, which had evolved with collaboration, consolidation and partnership.

He explained that with the skyrocketing exchange rate, no organisation or airline could successfully operate alone, insisting that the sector may collapse if the partnership was continually ditched.

 “It is not rocket science that the industry is where it is today; the dollar is rising against the naira. We all need to know that aviation is a business, and when we talk about business, we talk about profitability and data collection. How do we sustain the Nigerian aviation business? We need to have an economic summit where we open the doors to investors; we need to open up. What are these challenges facing us? This is very important. We cannot continue to stand alone.

“Secondly, are we trading among ourselves? We are not! I can have an Automated Teller Machine card from a particular bank and use it in another bank’s ATM. If I book, for instance, with Aero Contractors, can I use it on Air Peace? We don’t have such a close relationship. We need to collaborate among ourselves.

“Yes, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development can advocate for dry leasing and not welcome wet leasing, but the fact is, are the operators doing business among ourselves? There is the need for us to look inward, collaborate, consolidate and stand together,” he noted.

The aviation expert wondered why getting adequate data has become a difficult task despite the array of government agencies in the industry.

According to him, government agencies in the sector release different data to investors, stressing that without authentic data gathering, the Nigerian aviation industry would continue to grope in the dark.

“I was very happy when someone spoke about data. You can’t do business without data. The CBN forecasts in the banking industry and it can tell you the growth or diminishing rates in the sector, but, who is doing that in the aviation industry?

“How do we get the data? And without data, you cannot do business at all. It is good for us to look inward and talk figures. Aviation is about business. What you sell is about air safety and security,” he said.

Giving data on spending and revenue, the Managing Director of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency, Umar Farouk, stressed the need for the agency to raise its en-route navigational charges from N2,000 and N6,000 to N18,000 and N54,000 per flight.

Similarly, the airspace agency increased the extension of service hours to airlines from N50,000 to N450,000, representing an 800 per cent increase per extension to enable the agency to recover the cost of diesel and other logistics during the extension period.

Farouk noted that in 2023, NAMA had an expenditure of about N21bn in personnel costs alone, over N12bn in capital costs, and over N10bn in overhead costs.

He explained that all those were to be funded without the Federal Government budgetary allocation.

“Our agency works and rallies on the statutory fees for the management of the airspace and our job is a very critical one. Safety cannot be undermined for anything, not in this industry. These funds are generated from services we provide to the flying community. Without these funds, NAMA can’t operate nor discharge its responsibilities of ensuring the safety of our airspace effectively. We mainly generate these funds through airlines.

 “Even though most costs in the economy have increased by more than 1,000 per cent, NAMA has proposed to increase its fees by 800 per cent. The new rates for en-route and terminal navigation charges are to be reviewed from N2,000 and N6,000 to N18,000 and N54,000 per flight. Also, the extension of hours of service is to be reviewed from N50,000 to N450,000 per extension to enable the agency to recover the cost of diesel and other logistics during the period of extension,” he announced.

S’East group floats sports competition to promote unity, peace

A group under the aegis of Collective Hope And Light-hearted Youths Empowerment Association has launched a football competition in the five South-East states of Anambra, Imo, Enugu, Abia and Ebonyi.

The group President, Chukwuemeka Kenneth, during the launching on Monday, stated that the primary aims and objectives of the competition were to restore peace and unity to the embattled old South-Eastern Nigeria.

Kenneth also said that efforts were being put in place by the Local Organising Committee to make the tournament achieve its desired objectives of uniting the people of the sister states.

Also speaking, the LOC Chairman, Nkado Onyebuchi, who emphasised the importance of sports and its unifying force, said the Eastern Unity Tournament is open for sponsorship.

Nkado, who solicited sponsorship and support of well-meaning Igbo sons and daughters regretted that the first edition could not see the light of the day because of the lean resources to fund the competition.

Appealing for sponsorship and support, Nkado said, “It is true that we didn’t have much finances to run our first edition. It later resulted in the competition suffering a major setback.

“We have so many things already put in place before the kick-off date but due to our limited funds, we were unable to reach there. Through this tournament, some hidden talents would be discovered from those youths living in the rural hinterlands.”

He further explained that every football club in the former Eastern region of Abia, Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi, Imo, Bayelsa, Delta, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, and  Rivers states are eligible for participation.

Philanthropist partners FRSC to reduce motorcycle crashes in Imo

A philanthropist in Imo State, George-Smart Obinna Unegbu, on Monday, partnered with the Federal Road Safety Corps, Imo State Sector Command to reduce the rate of road accidents in the state.

In his address at the event in Owerri, Unegbu said the initiative was aimed at not only giving back to his immediate community, but also promoting safety on the roads as well as checkmating insecurity in the area.

He assured the people of his commitment to continually interface and partner with stakeholders and agencies to ensure development in the community and equally seized the opportunity to thank all stakeholders who made the initiative a success, adding that more partnerships are underway.

He said, “The gesture is done in conjunction with the Federal Road Safety Commission, Imo State Sector Command. The essence of the program was to help checkmate the prevalence of road mishaps as well as enhance the general security of the state.

“The safety program had the theme ‘Promoting Safe Transportation For Motorcycle Operations in Imo State,’ The program would be carried out across the 27 council areas of the state.”

Speaking at the event, the Imo State Corps Commandant, Evaristus Ebeniro, emphasized the need for all the riders to always be security conscious, embrace the provided means of identification and be their brother’s keeper to help smoke out criminal elements operating in the area in the guise of motorcyclists.

Over 110 motorcycle riders in Imo State received helmets, reflective jackets and other safety kits, courtesy of Unegbu, who’s Grand Master of the famous Nigeria sports betting company, Bet9ja.

It was gathered that the beneficiaries of the humanitarian gesture were drawn from registered motorcycle spots and associations who are operating within and around Nekede, the Federal University of Technology Owerri, and the Ihiagwa axis of Owerri West Local Government Area, irrespective of their state of origin.

African Games mixed relay final, race of my life – Ogunmakinju

Nigerian sprinter Omolara Ogunmakinju, who took a break from athletics in 2016 and returned to inspire the women’s and mixed 4x400m relay teams, talks about her motherhood break and attending another Olympics in this interview with ABIODUN ADEWALE

First of all, how does it feel to be back representing Nigeria on the international scene again after some time away?

It is the aim of every athlete to train hard every day to compete and qualify to be selected to be among thousands of athletes who also wish to be selected. It’s an incredible honour to represent my country on the international stage. It’s a dream come true to wear the Nigerian shirt and make my nation proud.

How did the African Games performance, especially the mixed 4x400m anchor make you more popular in Nigeria and beyond?

Yes, the African Games was a massive platform, and I’m thrilled that my performance has made me more popular in Nigeria and beyond. The response was overwhelming, and I’m grateful for the support.

In that race, you covered about 20-30m to win gold. What was on your mind when you got the baton in second place?

When I received the baton in second place, I reminded myself that the team wanted the gold. When I realised the gap I had to cover up, I thought about how weak or strong my opponent was, so I just kept on with my race pace, and when I saw I was closing it up, I kept pressing on. As we approached the finish line, I gave it everything I had, and the speed and power just took over. It was an incredible feeling of relief, joy, and disbelief, all mixed into one.

Would you call that race the race or your life?

Yes, it is. That race will always be special to me.

When you left athletics after the 2016 Olympics, did you intend to quit running totally, or did you have it in mind to return as well?

I didn’t intend to quit running entirely, but I needed time to prioritise my family, so I took a ‘motherhood’ break. I got married to my husband in the year 2015 and we both agreed to take a break after the 2016 Olympics in Brazil, which we did. God answered us by giving us our first child in 2018 and the second in 2020. We resumed training in 2021 and made the Nigeria team again in 2023. It was a challenging but rewarding experience. After everything, I just decided to try again, and I set a goal. My family was incredibly supportive, and I’m grateful for their love and encouragement. All glory to God for a great improvement. God does things in his way, and I look up to him for directions.

Were there any other motivations to return to the tracks after having your children?

I believed I had run at my best before and that I could do it again. Some women in the sport also did the same and came out victorious.

How did you meet your husband and how supportive has he been to your career?

We meet as friends on the tracks. He has been my rock. He understands the demands of the sport and has been instrumental in supporting my career. Before he quit the sport, he was a sprinter and represented Nigeria at the junior level and won a gold medal at the Africa Junior Games. He also represented Ondo State, Delta State and Oyo State at different national sports festivals.

After your first degree in AAUA, you are now studying abroad. How are you coping in the USA without your family, studying and competing at the same time?

It is the hardest thing I have ever experienced. This is the time I appreciate being around family. I know how it feels to miss your loved one. Studying in the USA while competing and being away from family is tough, but I’m managing. It’s a challenge I’m determined to overcome. I keep telling myself it’s all for a purpose, and that keeps me going.

During your time in AAUA, what was it like to be a student and representing Nigeria? You competed at NUGA and World University Games level, how did you relate with other athletes who knew you as a national athlete then?

As a student-athlete in AAUA, I learned to balance my passion for running with academics. It wasn’t easy, but it prepared me for the demands of competing at the international level. My fellow athletes were incredibly supportive, and we pushed each other to be our best. For as many who met me at the NUGA and World University Games as a national athlete, I let them understand they can do likewise if they are consistent and determined to do both.

Due to an injury, you missed the World Relays, and some members of your team had visa issues as well. How disappointed is it to have missed that chance to qualify for the Olympics?

Honestly, I was so disappointed because I was prepared for it and wanted to qualify early to avoid last-minute rush and pressure.

There was another chance to qualify for the event during the African championships, but despite winning gold, the time wasn’t enough to see the women’s 4x400m relay team in Paris. What would you say affected the team?

We gave our best to be honest, knowing that was our last chance to qualify. I really cannot explain how we didn’t make it but our solace is in the gold we won.

You are part of the mixed relay team in Paris. How hopeful are you about another relay medal for Nigeria?

Anything is possible. We have been working hard to make sure we don’t just participate, and it will be an honour to win an Olympic medal. I will cherish it forever.

Nigerians are still waiting for your individual gold medal on the international stage as well. Are you under any pressure to deliver that anytime soon?

There’s no pressure; I trust in my abilities and know that with hard work and determination, the individual gold medal will come. That’s small for God to do.

Gunmen kill man, burn sanitation agency vehicle in Imo

Twenty-four hours after four policemen and a Point of Sale operator were killed in Irete, Owerri West Local Government Area, gunmen on Tuesday afternoon killed a young man at the nearby Orji in Owerri North LGA.

According Metro gathered that the gunmen who shot sporadically in the air, heading to the Owerri-Enugu Road, also burnt an Imo State Government Waste Management Agency vehicle at the Nkwo Orji Market.

Council probes Lagos FCE violence, school shut

Council probes Lagos FCE violence, school shut

Following the violence that erupted on Monday, the Governing Council of the Federal College of Education (Technical) Akoka, Lagos, has ordered an indefinite closure of the institution.

The embattled provost, Dr. Wahab Azeez, revealed the council’s decision to According Metro during a telephone interview on Tuesday.

Recall that the ongoing leadership crisis escalated on Monday when videos emerged showing protesting students vandalising the official vehicles of the governing council members, who reportedly narrowly avoided being physically attacked.

In previous interviews with According Metro, the students claimed that their protests were in response to poor campus welfare and the treatment they received from the provost.

A student, speaking anonymously out of fear of victimisation, sent a voice note to our correspondent claiming that police officers “came and started shooting students.” The student further alleged that the school management had invited the police to the campus.

“During the meeting, they started throwing tear gas. The provost ordered them to throw tear gas and they arrested some staff (members). They were beating the staff (members),” he alleged.

In his defence, the embattled provost claimed in a separate interview with our correspondent that the protesting students were being incited by staff members eyeing his position.

“Those students who are protesting are being instigated by those staff members eyeing my position. For the past five years since I was appointed as the Provost, I’ve never had an issue with students because I was a former Student Union leader and I know what the students want,” the provost told According Metro. This claim, however, was denied by both the students and some staff members of the college.

To quell Monday’s violence and restore law and order, the state police command arrested 32 suspects for allegedly attacking the Federal Government inspection team.

Confirming the arrest via a post on X.com, the state police command, Benjamin Hundeyin, said, “A team set up by the Minister of Education arrived at the school today (Monday) to mediate the ongoing impasse. However, (the) staff (members) of the college aided by students attacked the team from Abuja, damaging over five vehicles and the Provost’s official quarters.

“Not done, the rioting staff and students also blocked all entrances in and out of the college. The police arrived at the scene and restored normalcy after being attacked with stones and sachets of water by the rioters.

“Meanwhile, 32 suspects have been arrested while men of the Nigeria Police Force from Area Command, Surulere remain on (the) ground to ensure that the restored peace remains intact.”

Revealing the indefinite closure of the college, the provost stated that the governing council had initiated an investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding the students’ violent rampage, which resulted in property destruction.

He said, “The college has been shut because of the violent rampage of the students yesterday (Monday).

“The council is still on the ground. They will decide what line of action to take about the incident. The rampage has to be probed because they need to know the immediate and remote cause of the crisis that led to the vandalisation of college property and facilities.

“They (the governing council) came to have the inaugural meeting of the council. Since the council was inaugurated, the college also elected its six members.”

According to him, some college staffers were partly responsible for the poor state of the school after they were said to have refused “the college to operate. They didn’t allow any administrative work to take place. They send the cleaners away from the hostel.”

The college is expected to remain closed until the investigation is concluded.

I don’t need ‘big grammar’ to fix Edo, says Okpebholo

The candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the September 21 governorship election in Edo State, Senator Monday Okpebholo, on Tuesday, said he was in the race to repair the alleged damage done by the current administration and he would not need outlandish English grammar to do so.

Okpebholo has faced constant taunting by the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, which claims he can hardly speak good English during campaigns and media engagement.

However, the APC candidate, during an interactive session with journalists in Benin on Tuesday, insisted that he needed not speak the English language to solve the problems confronting Edo State.

He said his mission was to bring back Edo’s lost glory and wrest the state from the grip of those pursuing personal gains.

He said,  “If elected by the special grace of God come September 21st, my job is to do things differently and restore Edo State’s lost glory. So we need a courageous leader who will do things rightly for the benefit of the Edo people.

“I really do not need big grammar to solve the problem of Edo. I already know what to do and I need to be active to achieve it.

“Today, Edo State is receiving N11bn in monthly allocation with the debt profile put at N135bn, thereby mortgaging the future of our children.

“At this point, what Edo really need is a panel beater. I’m here to panel beat the state where there will be no thuggery, where the Bendel Brewery will work, where our roads will be fixed, where our children will have a functional educational system with teachers in our classrooms.

“I’m coming as a servant leader and I will introduce practical leadership and govern with empathy as well as love for the people.”

In his remarks, the media consultant to the Edo  State APC Governorship Campaign Council, Kassim Afegbua, said Edo State needed an empathic governor with emotional intelligence.

Bobrisky to regain freedom August 5

Bobrisky to regain freedom August 5

Controversial cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, will, on August 5, 2024, regain freedom from the Kirikiri Correctional Centre, after spending six months in incarceration for abusing the naira by spraying it at parties.

This was disclosed to our correspondent by an impeccable prison source and confirmed by Bobrisky’s lawyer, Ayo Olumofin, on Tuesday.

“Bobrisky will be released on Monday, August 5,” the prison source, who preferred anonymity because he cannot speak officially, told our correspondent.

Confirming the development, Olumofin, who appeared in court for Bobrisky, said, “Yes, it’s about that time for him to be released. There is nothing specific that would be done during his release. I might not go. I’m engaged outside Lagos. Maybe other lawyers will go.

“As I told you, I am not is original lawyer. I just did allocution, for him.”

Bobrisky was sentenced to six months imprisonment on April 12, 2024, without an option of fine by Justice Abimbola Awogboro, who has now been elevated to the  Court of Appeal.

Though Bobrisky filed an appeal to challenge his conviction, it is unlikely the appeal would be heard before the expiration of his six-month jail term on August 5.

According to an impeccable source at the correctional centre, Bobrisky is due from released from prison on Monday, August 5, 2024.

Bobrisky was arraigned on April 5, 2024, on four counts of naira abuse preferred against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

The EFCC prosecution counsel, Suleiman Suleiman, told the court that Bobrisky committed the offence on March 24, 2024, at IMAX Circle Mall, Jakande Lekki.

He said Bobrisky, while dancing at a social event, tempered with the sum of N400,000, issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria by spraying the same.

Suleiman also told the court that between July and August 2023, at Ajah Junction, Ikorodu, while dancing at a social event, Bobrisky tampered with the sum of N50,000, by spraying the same.

The EFCC also said sometime in December 2023, Bobrisky, while dancing at the White Steve event hall, Ikeja tampered with N20,000 by spraying the same.

According to the prosecutor, the offences committed contravened Section 21 (1) of the Central Bank  Act 2007.

When the charges were read to Bobrisky, and asked if he understood the charges, he said, “Yes, I’m guilty.”

The EFCC subsequently applied to review the case by adducing evidence to back the counts,

An EFCC operative, Bolaji Temitope, while reviewing the facts of the case, told the court that: “Based on a special operation to monitor who is in the habit of spraying money at a party, the team visited many event centres and monitored social media pages where naira was being abused.

“During the course of the monitoring, the commission came across a video on social media where the defendant was seen spraying naira notes on Segun Johnson, at a movie premiere.

“The defendant also admitted that he was the one in the other videos spraying of naira at Aja Junction, Ikorodu and the other places.”

After listening to the facts of the case, Justice Awogboro said, “Upon the admittance of guilt by the defendant and the review of facts you are hereby found guilty as charged.”

In his allocution,  Bobrisky, who fondly calls himself “Mummy of Lagos,” said, “I am a social media influencer with over five million followers.  My Lord, in all honestly, I was not aware of the naira law.”

When the judge told him that ignorance of the law was not an excuse, Bobrisky said, “I know, My Lord. I wish that you could give me a second chance to use my platform to inform and educate my followers about spraying money.

“I would do a video on my page and I will educate people about spraying money. I will not repeat this, My Lord. I regret my actions, My Lord.”

Nigerian sprinter Favour Ofili denied 100m spot at Paris Olympics

Nigerian sprinter, Favour Ofili, expressed her frustration on Tuesday on Tuesday, revealing that she will not compete in the 100-metre race at the ongoing Olympics in Paris due to administrative failures by the Athletics Federation of Nigeria and the Nigerian Olympic Committee.

She called for accountability from those responsible and voiced her skepticism about the trustworthiness of both organisations.

The LSU Track and Field alumni hopes to be entered in the 200-metre event.

LSU track refers to the track and field programme at Louisiana State University.

Her post read, “It is with great regret that I have just been told I will not be competing in the 100 metres at this Olympic Games. I qualified, but those with the AFN and NOC failed to enter me. I have worked for four years to earn this opportunity. For what?”

Despite qualifying for the event, Ofili disclosed that the officials did not enter her, marking a repeat of the previous Olympics, Tokyo 2020.

She added, “Please remember, in the last Olympic Games, I was not able to compete because AFN, NADC and NOC failed to release funds for athletes to be tested, which made 14 Nigerian athletes that qualified to not compete. Now this……”

“If those responsible are not held accountable for taking this opportunity from me, neither organisation can ever be trusted in the future! Next one is the 200 metres. I hope I’m entered.”

Ofili secured her place in the women’s 200m event at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, According Online reported.

According Online reports that the 21-year-old was entered for 100m, 200m, 400m, 100×100 relay.

Our correspondent was, however, unable to contact the officials of the aforementioned agencies for clarifications.

Ofili, who tweeted around past 10pm, was one of 10 Nigerian athletes declared ineligible for the Olympics by the Athletics Integrity Unit because they were not tested rigorously enough in the run-up to Tokyo 2020.

According Sports Extra, in a July 20 publication titled, “Nigeria’s Olympic Debutants!” mentioned Ofili as one.

Making her debut in Paris, flaunting her sterling credentials of once being in the Top 8 at the World Championships, the athlete is a Commonwealth Games silver medalist, an African Games champion, a former World U20 champion, and an African Senior Athletics Championships champion in the 200m.

Her current world rankings stand at 23 in 100m and 52 in 200m. Her highest rankings are 13 in 200m, 23 in 100m, and 37 in 400m.

In May, Ofili also shattered three records in a month.
