Exclusive: Oghenekaro Etebo Ruled Out Of Nigeria U23s Trip To United States

cording to information gathered by allnigeriasoccer.com’s editorial staff, CD Feirense midfielder Oghenekaro Etebo will not travel together with the Nigeria U23s squad to the United States, where they will hold a get-together ahead of the Olympics.

The first batch of players and officials will leave for Atlanta on Tuesday before the remaining batch joins them the following day, but the former Warri Wolves star will not be part of the traveling party.

Prior to his trip to Portugal to link up with CD Feirense in April, Etebo was issued a double-entry visa to the Schengen Area and it became invalid after his trip to France for the international friendlies with Mali and Luxembourg.

Thinking ahead, the 20-year-old has applied for another visa in Abuja instead of returning with the Dream Team VI squad to Nigeria at the end of the Olympic Games, as he is expected to return to Portugal immediately after the competition.
A United States visa has already been issued to Oghenekaro Etebo.

Free boarding: 120K students to benefit in 1st term

About 120,000 students in senior high schools across the country will benefit from the free boarding programme introduced by the government of Ghana for the first term, beginning August this year.
Last week, President John Mahama announced that the free SHS boarding policy would commence this year to cover the 2016/17 academic year.
Throwing more light on the programme in an interview with Prince Minkah, host of the Executive Breakfast Show (EBS) on Class91.3FM on Tuesday June 28, Mr Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, a Deputy Minister of Education (Tertiary) explained that the free boarding programme was an expanded phase of the progressively free SHS programme of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration.
“The progressively free SHS enters an expanded phase from August this year, the 2016/17 academic year. We began absorbing 10 items on the bill for some 340,000 day students and we began with absorbing examination fees, library fees, entertainment fees, SRC dues, science development fees, mathematics and science quiz fees, sports fees, culture fees, Internet fees, and co-curricular activity fees.
“The new frontier we are entering is to cover boarders in deprived districts and boarders, who are really struggling to pay their fees. It’s a targeted intervention. We have projected 120,000 students to enjoy this intervention beginning from August this year, so we are talking about 120,000 out of the current 504,882 boarders… we are looking at some 24 per cent of this figure that we are beginning with,” he said.
Mr Ablakwa said the programme will target “poor households and very deprived students in deprived communities, so this is the framework within which we are operating.”
Meanwhile, Chairman of the Ghana National Education Campaign Coalition (GNECC), Bright Appiah, has called for clarity in the definition of free SHS for students. He told Prince Minkah that: “If you also look at the free SHS that this administration wants to give, [it] also points to the fact that there are certain elements that they are taking. But as we speak, we are not clear as to the various elements that they are taking in order to describe it as free, but if you look at the fees of the boarding schools and that of those who are not in the boarding schools, then it gives you some points as to what they will consider to be free”.
“So far as we are concerned, the issue of free will need to be clearly defined and when government introduces the policy of making SHS free, one of the things that we asked is to know what exactly government is absorbing to say that it is free for us to also do further analysis to see whether those things that the government is taking will indeed give that free nature that we are all talking about.”
He added: “So there is a lot of things that we need to consider, but if you say free, I don’t think to the layman we are doing justice to the subject matter, because in the past we have had a lot of things that also come with it, but at the end of the day it was classified as free. So, the context is very important and if those contexts have been defined, then any government at all can also tell us what exactly they want to do as free.”

ECOWAS Court laments non-execution of judgment by member states

he ECOWAS Court has expressed concern over non implementation of its judgment by the members’ states.
The Vice President of the Court, Justice Micah Wright told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja that only three out of 15 member states had put in place mechanism to execute the court’s decision.
“The court has experienced a couple of hardships or impediments as you say in the dispensation of its work, for example, notably in the execution of the judgment of the court.
“The court as you know does not have a police and the court does not execute or implement its own decisions, the court depends upon the goodwill of the member states.
“So, when the court renders a judgment, the court forwards the judgment to the member states and requests the member states to execute or implement that judgment – that is one of the impediments we have.
“Out of the 15 countries, our last information was that only three states had put in place proper mechanisms for the enforcement of judgment by this court, the countries are Nigeria, Guinea and Togo,” he said.
According to him, those are the only three countries that have mechanisms to receive and implement or execute the decision of the court.
Wright said that the court was embarking on efforts to get other member states to see the wisdom in complying with the judgment issued by the court.
The Vice President said that another impediment that the court was facing was insufficient fund for its operation due to non-payment of levy by member states.
“ The court and by extension the entire community is facing financial difficulties where member states are not paying up the community levy and that is the means of finance for all ECOWAS activities.
“The court is always at disadvantage when the funds are being distributed. But we have to take more initiatives to impress it upon the commission the mandate of the court is of such that the court is alone.
“The court cannot source external funding like the commission or like other institutions. We don’t want to compromise our independence and neutrality by going out to seek donor funding.
“Where the donor will have to dictate to the court the kinds of things they want the court to engage in, we want to maintain our independence and autonomy within the ECOWAS infrastructure,” he said.
According to him, the court has been lobbying with the commission to ensure that the fund disbursement will be more favourable to the court’s interest.
He said that another critical challenge the court was facing was inadequate space for office facilities that would give it proper accommodation.
According to him, at the moment the court has two facilities separated because the space in each one of them is not sufficient to host all the staff members of the court.
He said that the facilities Nigeria provided as its obligation as the host community in line with the treaty signed was becoming smaller because of the growth in the number of staff.
“We have observed that over the last 15 years, the staff of the court have outgrown the number of facilities we have already , we are repeating our call to the government of Nigeria to met up to its obligations.
“It is not a favour, it is a treaty obligation undertaken by Nigeria to host the court and that obligation places the responsibility on Nigeria to provide facilities to whichever institution it hosts.
“So I must say that this administration has taken one step because a month ago, the management of the court met with the minister of state ministry of foreign affairs and was kind enough to inform us that she would convey the concern of the court to the president.
“I’m sure that the president will use his good faith to discharge the responsibility of the obligation,” he said.

Nigeria: As Pipeline Breaks Threaten Nigeria's Energy Security

Chineme Okafor writes that the sabotage of critical oil and gas infrastructure by militants is compelling reason for the federal government to accelerate policies to diversify Nigeria's electricity generation sources to ensure energy security

The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola recently declared that the renewed militancy in the Niger Delta was taking a great toll on the country's electricity system, and that Nigeria's economy was being made to pay for this acts.

Describing it as an unwholesome act, the minister in a disappointing voice, which sounded quite overwhelmed by the development, stated that the government was being forced to think fast on expanding the country's sources of electricity.

"Repeated acts of vandalism have rendered us vulnerable and we have to proactively move to overcome that one single source of supply," he said.

He explained that developing new and existing sources other than gas could take time but would eventually pay off and guarantee security of energy for her.

"We have seen from events that started around February 14 this year, repeated acts of vandalism of our gas pipelines that render us clearly vulnerable to one source of fuel for our energy development.

"That has challenged us to develop options and alternatives like solar in particular, and of course, hydro power plants in more quantitative response. So, we will be accelerating work on projects like Gurara Hydro Power Plant - phases 1 and 2, work has started on Zungeru Hydro Power Plant.

"We will also be accelerating work on Mambila Power Plant, which will give us the biggest single electrification source over a period of seven years that it is estimated to have it concluded.

"So, for us, this is a journey of diversification, a journey of electricity security for Nigeria and it is a journey that will ensure that in future it will be impossible to hold this country to ransom by controlling any particular source of fuel for electricity" he stated.

He noted when he launched the Building Energy Efficiency Guideline (BEEG) for Nigeria, that sustained sabotage of the country's petroleum pipeline in the Niger Delta by militant groups has rendered the country's public electricity supply system extremely vulnerable.

Meet the young man redefining auto-parts business in Nigeria

23-yrs-old Dairo Damilola Opeyemi who hails from Ibadan, Oyo State is the young Chief Executive Officer of Autofactorng, redefining auto-parts business in Nigeria. 

 In a country where buyers culturally show an overwhelming distrust of salesmen in the automotive industry, Dairo’s innovative platform sells genuine auto-parts at affordable prices and delivers it to client’s doorsteps nationwide with warranties on every item sold is no doubt a breath of fresh air to car users. The young CEO’s rise to becoming a nationwide auto-parts supplier in less than a year of establishing his firm is based largely on his passionate ingenuity to provide car users in the country with genuine alternative to both sub-standard and fairly used auto-parts, ‘Tokunbo’ which overtime leaves buyers cheated and unsatisfied. After graduating from Bowen University in 2012 where he studied Physics and Solar Energy , Dairo who said he has always had a flare for cars ventured into the automotive industry in Nigeria by providing solutions in the aspect of car body repairs and painting. “Like every other graduate, the next point of call for me after leaving school is to get engaged in a job but I know there is actually none waiting out there for me. So I went for a three months training session in a work shop on car painting and body repair after which I proceeded to doing the business itself and this noble step is what eventually led to the idea of ‘Autofactorng’. Citing that there are about 3 million cars in Lagos alone, Dairo lamented on how worrisome it is to find quality car parts in Nigeria. He explained that he had an experiential knowledge of this problem faced by car owners when he got into the painting and body works business, “to make things worse, some auto-parts dealers will end up telling you that fairly used parts are better than new ones, how possible can that be?” He queries. Answering himself, he said, “Tokunbo products are not new products, they are sold to users as genuine products which have been used and can never be better than new products.To understand this, just Imagine that you are using a year 2002 Toyota vehicle and you want to change the shock absorber and you purchase it it as a tokunbo, that means the part which was manufactured in 2002 has been used for probably 3 years and you are now purchasing it as a product in 2015 which interprets that the shock absorber is 13 years old, does it mean it is good or will last long? Where the problem lies for me with fairly used products, ‘Tokunbos’ is the fact that they are not safe. The lifespan of fairly used products like that of there sub-standard counterparts can never be compared to getting new products from their genuine manufacturers. This is the reason we are in this business to ensure that people get quality services for all money spent in the auto market in Nigeria. Convinced that he has all the know-how needed to transform the auto-part industry, Dairo revealed that he funded his idea with a start-up capital gotten from his personal savings and by sourcing funds from relatives, “believe me, it was not easy, pushing the dream to reality but overtime the it paid off”, he said. The soft-spoken entrepreneur said his joyous moments ever since he joined the league of business owners comes when clients give inspiring testimonies about the quality of service they enjoy at Autofactorng, “We have had several customers who call to say, they will no longer buy parts anywhere else except from Autofactorng, others say the whole idea is revolutionary and besides some companies are already requesting that we send them business proposals on partnerships.” Reminiscing on the challenges encountered starting the business, he said, “One of the predominant challenges we faced was designing the exact website that best answer our audience needs as well as offer them more services than what is obtainable in the market we find ourselves. Also, getting suppliers who stocks genuine car parts was equally tasking because hardly can you find a one-stop-shop for all car parts, especially when an average car uses over 30,000 parts. Creating awareness about the website and building trust was also an issue, despite the fact that most car users don’t trust their mechanics, they still believes it is better to stay with them than patronize a totally new approach to solving car related problems. But we have been able to win clients overtime by rendering quality services.” Despite his quick success Dairo said he has sustainability plans to keep his business growth. “Apart from taking orders online via very interactive platform we are looking at having a strong presence offline, building a full blown auto-part store where you can walk in and out with all kinds of car accessories/parts- fender,engine block,battery, tyres, etc. Assured that his firm, Autofactorng will in few years actualize the first auto part store in Nigeria, Dairo equally envisions an expansion to Ghana and other parts of Africa, “we are already getting calls outside Nigeria, most especially in Cotonou & Ghana and we have actually delivered products to Cotonou on several cases.” Asked if he has a special business philosophy or formula? “I believe strongly in the acronym, P.O.P, which stands for Perseverance, Optimism and Positivism, this 3 keys will see a start-up through difficult stages which of course are inevitable in starting up any kind of business.”
