NiMet predicts dusty weather, reduced visibility for today

Abuja — The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) has predicted dusty weather conditions over the central states of the country, today. The predictions are contained in the Weather Outlook issued by NiMet’s Central Forecast Office (CFO), yesterday, in Abuja.

It added that there would be reduced visibility to two to three kilometres over Abuja, Minna, Bida, Nasarawa and Makurdi with night time temperature ranging between 13 and 20 degrees Celsius. NiMet also predicted that the southern cities of Lagos, Port Harcourt, Benin, Warri, Calabar and Yenegoa would experience hazy conditions with visibility ranging from three to five kilometres during the forecast period. It also predicted similar a situation for Ibadan, Osogbo, Ondo, Akure, Awka, Enugu, Owerri and Onitsha with night time temperatures ranging from 15 to 22 degrees Celsius. The NiMet report also predicted that the northern cities of Maiduguri, Nguru, Kano, Katsina, Sokoto and Yelwa would experience reduction in visibility to about two to three kilometres. The prediction also indicated that thick haze would result in visibility less than 1000 metres over some northern states with night-time temperatures ranging from 10 to 17 degrees Celsius. According to NiMet, North-easterly wind from Sahara desert has continued to transport large quantity of dust particles which should lead to reduction in visibility across the country by tomorrow. It said: “During this period of the year, the atmosphere is usually very dry, windy, and dusty. Citizens should avoid substances that are easily flammable to reduce incidences of fire outbreak. Flight operations may be disrupted due to poor visibility in some airports across the country.”

Judgments against PDP expected —Edebiri

BENIN—AHEAD of the 2016 governorship election in Edo State, a governorship aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Solomon Edebiri, has described recent court judgments against candidates of the party as expected in a developing nation like Nigeria. He added that the PDP would dispense with the issue of godfatherism in electing its representatives in future elections. Edebiri, who spoke with newsmen in Benin, yesterday, said that the adverse judicial judgements against the PDP, would be a thing of the past in the nearest future as the country grows democratically. He said: “The PDP will give the judiciary a chance to do what it wants to do, whether right or wrong. The PDP will continue to respect the judiciary, allow their decisions to prevail and if at the Supreme Cour they rule against us, we will let it be.

“We are watching. My best advice to President Mohammed Buhari and his party, the All Progressives Congrss, APC, is that they should concentrate on taking this country to the next level economically, create jobs for our teeming youths and stop watching anybody. “We will support him to succeed. That is all the country wants from us and you can see that PDP is already doing this and you know what the story would have been if we were to be on the other side. “APC should be careful in antagonizing the PDP because, PDP would have stopped APC from occupying that seat if it had wanted to and this would have certainly led to war.”

On godfatherism in the PDP, Edebiri said once the Senator Ike Ekweremadu report was ratified by the national convention of the party, it would be thing of the past, as the party will be returned to the people.

Aviation fuel: NCAA lifts sanction on Lubcon

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, has lifted the sanction it imposed on Lubcon from supplying aviation fuel to domestic and foreign airlines at airports in Nigeria with immediate effect.

Lubcon is a key player in the oil and gas sector through the manufacturing, lifting, distribution and sales of petroleum and allied products According to Mr Adesoji Fagbemi, Group Executive Director, Lubcon Limited, the lifting of the sanction was contained in a letter to Lubcon signed by the Director of Air-worthiness Standards, Benedict Adeyileka, on behalf of the Director General of NCAA. Lubcon was among petroleum companies recently suspended from supplying aviation fuel to domestic and foreign airlines at airports in Nigeria. The letter said: “The suspension was lifted as a result of certification of Lubcon’s aviation fuel supply facilities by the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) and Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA). This certification was preceded by verification visits by top officials of the two regulatory agencies. These visits were found satisfactory.

“The certification of the Lubcon Aviation Depot has resulted in the facility becoming one of the best in the industry. This is a confirmation of the enviable standards maintained by Lubcon. Lubcon commends DPR and NCAA for their quality assurances meeting international specifications.” This year, Lubcon has been appointed by JX NIPPON, the second biggest oil and gas company in Japan, to blend its lubricants locally on its behalf for the Yamaha motorcycles and outboard motors being assembled in Nigeria.

Ending AIDS in 2030: How achievable for Nigeria?

BEFORE 2003, there was progression in the incidence of HIV/AIDS in Nigeria. Records show that from 1991 – 1999 the HIV prevalence increased from 1.8 percent to 5.4 percent. It dropped to 4.1 percent in 2011 and further dropped to 3.8 percent in 2013. Nigeria is currently treating 800,000 people living with the virus with Anti Retroviral (ARV) drugs. Currently the number of people living with HIV that are on Anti Retroviral Therapy increased from 359,181 in 2010 to 747,382 in 2014. Regardless of all efforts, Nigeria still accounts for 55 percent of the new HIV infections in West Central Africa Region (WCAR), and with 3.4 million people living with the virus, the nation is rated as the country with the second highest burden of HIV in the world after South Africa. More worrisome is the increasing number of infected women and children, and the fact that most of the children infected with the virus contacted it from their mothers. A 2014 survey showed a decline in HIV cases among pregnant women who attend antenatal clinics to 3.0 percent compared to 4.1 percent in 2010, but 10 percent of HIV infections are still as a result of mother-to-child transmission.

Of these, 154,920 new infections are in children out of an estimated 281,180 new infections and data shows that about 229,480 pregnant women are HIV positive annually. The high morbidity and mortality associated with pediatric HIV infection has virtually eroded most of the previous gains towards elimination of mother-to-child transmission in Nigeria. Worse still, the high prevalence of HIV among pregnant women, high total fertility rate, culture of prolonged breast feeding, and non-use of modern health facilities for antenatal and delivery purposes have contributed to the high rate of mother-to-child HIV transmission in the country. Nigeria has found herself in this precarious state as a result of socio-cultural issues such as preference for Traditional Birth Attendants (TBAs) instead of orthodox health facilities. Gaps in coordination of partners and underutilization of maternal and newborn services contribute to the challenges. The way forward for Nigeria is to be guided by the new UNAIDS target of 90:90:90, which is to ensure that 90 per- cent of the global population are tested for HIV, 90 per cent of those who test positive have access to treatment and for 90 per cent to be virally suppressed.

The current drive to eradicate HIV/AIDS by 2030 as part of the Sustainable Development Goals is instructive. Government agencies at all levels in Nigeria must review the visibility of eliminating HIV/AIDS with a view to integrating it into the broader Maternal and Newborn and Child Health agenda. The argument for closer relationships between managers of HIV and AIDS control agencies and other stakeholders at the national and state levels cannot be overstated. Tackling the root causes of vulnerability to HIV/AIDS remains the sure way to achieving the goals, even while creating strategic local funding initiatives and sound monitoring mechanism for transparency. Nigeria can only achieve elimination of mother-to-child HIV transmission through proper legislation, realistic policies and adequate resource appropriation.

4 ways to celebrate Christmas within your budget!

It is a few days to Christmas and some Nigerians have made big plans just so they can have a great time during the holidays. In order to keep you from going overboard, Jovago.com, Africa’s No 1 hotel booking portal shares 4 ways you can have fun and still stay within your Christmas budget!

During the yuletide season, there is an often appreciable rise in the price of goods and services – whether perishable or consumer products. In the quest to have a rich experience, it easy to yield to pressure while trying to meet the expectations of friends and family. To keep yourself from going begging in the New Year, put a cap on what you can spend in view of your total income and you will be better off for it. Prioritize your list This is the stage where you take radical decisions on who you actually want to offer gifts. Cut down your cost by excluding close friends who will be just as happy to receive colourful Christmas cards at this time of the year. It can be quite difficult but as earlier mentioned, it is about tailoring your expenses to match the money in the bank. Assign and roundup necessary preparations After prioritizing your list, it is key to decide on the value of gifts each person will receive. Do a market survey on the internet before placing an order on the item. Your market survey should be thorough so that you can get the best and most affordable price in the market.

Make the budget work Remember that life will continue after Christmas. If borrowing money makes you uncomfortable, consciously devote time each day to track your spending and see your budget through. It is possible to enjoy Christmas without racking up any debt, especially if you make the choice to live within your means. Having considered the outcome you expect, do all you can to make your budget work for you.

Edo 2016: The next governor

IN a few months, precisely November next year 2016 Governor Adams Oshiomhole will cease to be the occupant of the state house in Benin. Indeed, if the people of Edo state had their way, the distinguished labour leader of the radical mould would rule Edo State till the end of time. Such is the impact he has had on the state and the people. But the constitution only permits two terms of four years each.

As such, his departure next year is certain as the sun rises from the east. It is against this background that as the comrade governor prepares to hand over the baton of leadership in Edo State next year, his successor should be properly screened to ascertain if by his antecedents, he can further lift Edo State to the next level. What is, perhaps most interesting is that all the gladiators in Edo State politics have moved into the APC and are jostling for its 2016 gubernatorial ticket. The problem of Nigeria is poor leadership and corruption. The leadership is more interested in power and authority for self benefit which gave rise to the saying “if you cannot beat them, join them”. This self-centredness of the status seekers resulted in the present rush for self fulfillment against social responsibility and commitment to the general welfare of the public which has now become the bane of progress and public spiritedness. This has led to mass poverty and the very few rich most of whose wealth are due to “man know man” cult. If you are not part of them, you remain where you are. The truth of the matter, however, is that the phenomenon of “Man know Man” is detrimental to national development. A few specific examples will explain the evils of this phenomenon.

In 2006, former Oyo State Governor, Alhaji Rashidi Ladoja, was removed from office and his deputy Adebayo Alao-Akala was sworn in as the new governor through the influence of late Chief Lamidi Adedibu, using his supporters in the Oyo House of Assembly. Although the charges against the former governor were hardly proved, eight of the 24 legislators held a session in hotel which the supreme court condemned in his judgment. The said legislators adopted the report of a panel and passed a motion for Ladoja’s impeachment within 25 minutes. However, Chief Adedibu had another reason for the impeachment. Hear him, “I put him there. So, if I demand money will it be wrong? Do I need to ask for it before he gives it to me? I never demand money from him” (Adedibu in Tell, January 23, 2006 Pg 21.) Yet, it was said he had received up to N100 million from Ladoja’s private account since he became governor in May 29, 2003. Before Ladoja, the first democratic governors of Anambra State after the return of democratic rule in the country in 1999, Dr. Chinwoke Mbadinuju and Dr. Chris Ngige, had the same experience. The issue of “Man know Man” should not be allowed to raise its ugly head in Edo State. Indeed, there is need to address this evil of “Man know Man” if Nigeria must develop politically, socially and economically. We must undertake a massive political enlightenment of our people to let them depart from following this philosophy of “Man know Man”. From this standpoint, it would appear that gubernatorial aspirants with clean past records, who have not soiled their fingers as it were and have made tremendous success in their chosen fields may as well find favour during APC primaries in Edo State. We are reminding the voters that Edo state wants credible persons who would consolidate the achievements of our dear comrade governor and conceive innovative ideas for the betterment of our people. This will perhaps explain why Paul Obazee acknowledges the fact that Engineer Chris Ogiemwonyi is a visionary leader, who has proved his mettle having rendered meritorious service to Nigerians in general and Edo indigenes in particular in his chosen field of endeavour. Chris is a man that genuinely has the passion to serve Edo people. He has the potential to transform Edo state in the area of human capital development, and infrastructure. As we move towards the 2016 governorship race in Edo State, all eyes are on the rising profile of Chris who is expected to hold the APC banner in the state after the primary to continue on the solid foundation laid by our comrade governor. Mr. David Ikehueoya, a public affairs commentator, wrote from Benin City, Edo State.

Oil recovers ahead of US inventory numbers

Oil prices enjoyed rare gains in Asian trade Tuesday, with Brent crude bouncing back from an 11-year low as investors await a closely watched US crude inventory report.

At 0600 GMT, US benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) for delivery in February, a new contract, was 26 cents higher at $36.07 a barrel. The European standard, Brent crude for February, was at $36.57, up 22 cents from its closing level of $36.35 in London on Monday which was the lowest since July 2004. “This could be positioning ahead of the weekly American reports, which should show rising crude inventories,” said Bernard Aw, market strategist at IG in Singapore. Aw said the narrowing gap between WTI and Brent indicates the market’s belief that US oil inventories could fall because American shale oil producers, who have higher production costs, are being squeezed out by low world crude prices. In addition, a 40-year embargo on US oil exports has been lifted.

“I have a more bearish view. The US rig count is on the rise. US inventory is still some 130 million barrels above the five-year average. There is also some 1.3 million barrels of excess crude being produced each day,” he said. Oil is heading for a second annual loss on signs a global glut will be prolonged after the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries effectively abandoned output limits at a meeting on December 4. Brent slumped on Monday on speculation suppliers from the Middle East to the US will continue pumping, exacerbating the surplus as they fight for market share. “It’s all about market share and bravado at the moment,” Jonathan Barratt, the chief investment officer at Ayers Alliance Securities in Sydney, told Bloomberg News.

Crude prices have sunk more than 60 percent from above $100 in summer 2014 owing to the oversupply as well

Industrialist Calls for higher investments in Kogi

A frontline industrialist in Kogi State, Dr Alex Ayodele John has called on investors around the world to explore the investment opportunities that abound in the state for the mutual benefit of the citizenry and the prospective investor.

In an exclusive chat with Vanguard in his Lokoja office recently, the industrialist said Kogi State is blessed with a good number of high worth miners resources that are waiting for exploration. “With the high deposit of limestone and iron ore in the state, massive investment is needed to change the socio-economic narrative of the state. Kogi is so blessed that we should not be associated with poverty. “Tourism and agriculture are the other non-mineral sectors that should be tapped into for maximum impact. With the location and geographical endowment of the state, Kogi can comfortably run its operations even with zero allocation from the federation account.

“The State Government has played its role by creating an enabling environment and offering various investment incentives to drive the economy of the state. What is needed now is for the investors to take advantage of the opportunities in the peaceful state to invest heavily in solid minerals, agriculture and tourism”. Dr. Ayodele called on the Federal Government to as a matter of urgency, complete work on the Ajaokuta Steel Company, saying it is high time the government reviewed its bilateral agreements on the project. “It is unfortunate that government after government have continued to pay lip service to the Ajaokuta Steel project. No nation can move forward without taking advantage of its opportunities. I make bold to say the project is not just a blessing to Nigeria, but Africa as a whole if well managed”.

In a related development, the Chief Executive Officer of Delex Ventures launched a transport line in Lokoja recently. The company has been hailed by experts in the transportation industry as the new face of road transportation in Nigeria.

Son chops father’s killer into 12 pieces

The son of an Indian murder victim has confessed to stabbing his father’s killer to death and chopping his body into 12 pieces, one for every year since his father was slain, media reported Tuesday.

Alam Khan was aged 12 when he saw his father being murdered by a family friend in 2003. He had secretly planned his revenge ever since and finally seized his chance last week when he invited the killer over for a drink. After getting Mohammad Rais drunk at his home in the state of Uttar Pradesh, Khan knifed him to death before using a hammer and hacksaw to dismember the body, he told reporters on Monday after his arrest. He and an accomplice then packed the body parts into plastic bags which they threw into a river. When the bags washed up on the river’s banks, police were only able to identify Rais from a surgery scar on his torso.

Khan was arrested after witnesses recounted how Rais had last been seen visiting his home, and made a full confession. “I played some music at full volume and cut his body into 12 pieces,” Khan was quoted as saying by the Times of India. Khan had never told anyone about the identity of his father’s killer and had instead waited for 12 years to “realise his dream” of taking revenge. He was “happy it was now done”. Police Superintendent Ram Suresh Yadav told the newspaper Khan had confessed to his crime with an “utter lack of remorse”. The murder weapons, including the hammer and hacksaw, had been recovered from Khan’s home in the district of Moradabad, Yadav added.
