President Muhammadu Buhari and his wife, Aisha, will depart Abuja on Sunday, September 18, for New York in the United States to attend the 77th session of the United Nations General Assembly. Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, made this known in a statement on Saturday.

This year’s UNGA with the theme, ‘A watershed Moment: Transformative Solutions to Interlocking Challenges’ will feature discussions on the Russia-Ukraine war, energy crisis, climate action, ending the COVID-19 pandemic, and a special Transforming Education Summit. Buhari will take his turn to deliver the National Statement on the second day of the General Debates on Wednesday, September 21.

“Aside his Statement, the President will also participate in High Level meetings and side events including the Nigeria International Economic Partnership Forum (NIEPF), convened by Nigeria in partnership with the Business Council for International Understanding (BCIU); Strengthening Coordination through National Humanitarian Development Peace (NHDP) Framework: A practical approach to sustainable durable solutions to ensure no one is left behind, organised by the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development; and the EFCC-NEPAD Programme on combating Illicit Financial Flows.

“President Buhari will also hold strategic bilateral meetings with World Leaders, renowned investors and heads of multinational organisations while in New York,” Adesina said. On the entourage of the President, who is expected back in the country on September 26, are some governors, ministers and top government officials.

Today in Abuja, the Ugwumba Center for Leadership Development in Africa received a pat on the back from the Canadian High Commissioner, Mr. James Christoff, ably represented by the Political Counsellor, Mr. Andrew Webb in a meeting it had at the High Commission.

Speaking at the meeting, Mr. Andrew Webb commended the Center for its contributions to economic development in Nigeria, through its enterprise development programs that are aimed at creating jobs for the unemployed youths and empowering women with financial support.

Also speaking, Grace Mieszkalski, the Second Secretary (Political Affairs) at the High Commission applauded the Center for its gender sensitive programs. She equally advised the Center to apply for the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives in support of its economic development programs.

In his address, the President of the Ugwumba Leadership Center, Ugwumba Uche Nwosu informed that he founded the Center in 2018 to be able to support the Government of Nigeria and those of other African nations in reducing the rate of unemployment among the youths, which is the reason for the many social vices we have in the society today.

He thereafter used the opportunity to invite His Excellency, James Christoff, the High Commissioner to the grand finale of the 5th edition of the Ugwumba Enterprise Challenge, scheduled to hold at the Sheraton Hotels and Towers, Abuja on December 13, 2022. 

Earlier in his opening speech, Mr. Remy Chukwunyere, the Executive Director of the Center announced that the mandate of the Center is to raise a new generation of leaders and entrepreneurs for Africa. He thereafter informed that the center has supported the birth of over 5,000 small and medium enterprises in Nigeria and is currently serving a community of over 10,000 youths and women, who are daily benefiting from its leadership and enterprise development programs.

Mr. Remy Chukwunyere concluded by saying that a partnership with the Canadian High Commission would enable the Center expand the scope of its programs as well as impacts in the lives of youths and women in Africa.

It is believed that this meeting will birth a partnership that would better the lots of young people in Nigeria, soon.

The Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) has applauds the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) and the National Codex Committee (NCC) for critical role played in the elaboration of food Standards at the International level especially at the various committees of the Codex Alimentarius Commission where Standards are adopted at the National level.

The Director General, Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) Mallam Farouk Salim made this known at the awareness and advocacy workshop organized by the National Codex Committee (NCC) in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations (UN) for high level policy and decision makers and public presentation of the 4th Edition of the revised National Codex Committee Procedural Manual in Abuja said the review was apt in order to keep abreast with the growth of Codex activities.

Represented by his Chief of Staff, Prof. Olobayo Kunle, SON Director General said NCC has also contributed to the review of the Food safety policy and Food safety Bill in Nigeria.“The National Codex Committee Procedural Manual was first prepared in line with CAC procedural manual published in 2002, with further revisions in 2007 and 2012 to guide the activities and improve functions of all the stakeholders involved for effective operations. “The review of the NCC Procedural Manual was necessary to keep abreast with the growth of Codex activities over time, incorporate major changes, improve and strengthen Codex structure in Nigeria.

“The National Codex Committee (NCC) Nigeria successfully applied for the Codex Trust Fund (CTF) 2 support to build strong, solid and sustainable national capacity to engage in Codex activities through the organization of annual awareness and advocacy workshops with political decision-makers, targeted competent authorities and other stakeholders to disseminate more information on Codex. “The overall objective of the activity is to sensitize public decision-makers and competent authorities on the need to engage more in the national codex and to regularly provide all the support to increase its actions in favour of food safety at national level” he said.

The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) Representative to Nigeria, Fred Kafeero said since the inception of CAC, FAO has worked with World Health Organisation in the development of international food standards, guidelines, and codes of practices to protect the health of consumers and ensure fair trade practices in the food trade using the principles of risk analysis and scientific advice provided by joint FAO/WHO expert bodies and consultations.

Represented by the FAO Assistant Representative Administration, David Fehintola said its country office in Nigeria with support from the regional office for Africa has continued to partner the Government and the National Codex Committee towards creating effective and efficient policies and strategies to eliminate hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in the country.

Chelsea have sacked manager Thomas Tuchel following Tuesday's night's Champions League defeat by Dinamo Zagreb. The 49-year-old former Borussia Dortmund and Paris St-Germain boss leaves Stamford Bridge after 20 months. Owner Todd Boehly has placed Tuchel's coaching staff in temporary charge until a replacement is found.

A club statement said the owners believe it is "the right time" to bring in a new head coach. "As the new ownership group reaches 100 days since taking over the Club, and as it continues its hard work to take the club forward, the new owners believe it is the right time to make this transition," the statement read.

"On behalf of everyone at Chelsea FC, the club would like to place on record its gratitude to Thomas and his staff for all their efforts during their time with the club. Thomas will rightly have a place in Chelsea's history after winning the Champions League, the Super Cup and Club World Cup in his time here."

Tuchel was appointed on 26 January, 2021, replacing Frank Lampard, and guided the club to their second Champions League title just four months later. He went on to add the Uefa Super Cup and Fifa Club World Cup later that year.

The Federal Government has threatened to sanction foreign airlines operating in the country but refuse to accept naira payment for flight tickets. The Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, made this known at a briefing today after the Federal Executive Council meeting chaired by President Muhammadu Buhari.

He said intelligence reports indicated that some of the airlines refuse to sell in naira but charge ticket fares in dollars instead, in violation of Nigerian laws. The minister disclosed that the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority has been directed to deal with any of such airlines that are caught flouting the laws.

Sirika cautioned them to refrain from using the social media to place their demands rather than resorting to the diplomatic channels. According to him, foreign airlines have made over 1.1 billion dollars so far from Nigeria since 2016, an amount which could have remained in the country if they were local airlines.

He further revealed that the airlines remitted over 600 million dollars to their home countries in 2016, while over 265 million dollars has also been released this year.

A remarkable summer transfer window closed on Thursday with a number of new spending records set - including the most expensive ever deadline-day signing in Manchester United's £82m purchase of Antony.

That deal helped set a new Premier League spending record of about £1.9bn - smashing the previous record of £1.4bn in 2017 - and dwarfing the rest of Europe. Nine of the 20 top-flight clubs spent in excess of £100m as total expenditure bounced back after two seasons of Covid-impacted decline.

Other records included:

 Premier League clubs spending more than Spain's La Liga, Italy's Serie A and the German Bundesliga combined

 Chelsea spending more in one window than any other club in Premier League history

 Manchester United smashing their own summer spending record

 Nottingham Forest signing more players in one summer than any other British club in history

The combined outlay of the 20 clubs during the window, which was open from 10 June until 1 September, was 67% higher than the previous summer's total of £1.1bn.

According to financial services firm Deloitte, the 2022-23 season already has the highest transfer spend since the two-window season began - exceeding the previous record of £1.86bn, set in 2017-18, by 3%. And that is before the January transfer window has even opened.

The a Management of the National Insurance Commission, NAICOM has debunk the publication of Vanguard Newspaper dated August 29, 2022 over the purchase of four billion naira uncompleted office . This is contained in a statement signed by the Management of the commission.

The statement reels out that, the Commission does not intend to join issues with the media, it has become imperative that the general public be availed with the facts. "It is on this premise that the Commission state as follows: That the management of the Commission through the Honourable Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning presented to the Federal Executive Council presided over by His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR an Unfinished property for approval to be acquired as NAICOM Academy and office accommodation following the approval by the immediate past Governing Board of the Commission.

All documents relating to the property clearly state that the property was in an unfinished state. The Commission had prior the FEC approval, obtained a “No Objection” from the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) following the valuation of the property by the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing. Adequate due diligence was conducted on the property for acquisition and all relevant approvals were secured by the Commission. Provision was made in the 2022 approved annual budget of the Commission for the purpose of acquiring the building for the Commission. 

The building is to serve the dual purpose of housing the newly established NAICOM Academy which is an initiative of the present leadership of the Commission to address knowledge gap in the insurance sector regulation and supervision not only in Nigeria but across Africa and beyond and also serve as the new head office of the Commission. In order to address the problem of low insurance penetration, entrench the culture of insurance in every part of the country and enhance the effectiveness of its surveillance in all the geopolitical zones of the country, the expansion of the Commission’s infrastructural facilities is inevitable thus the Commission requires a befitting Office accommodation to curtail any future office space crises.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo (SAN) on Wednesday morning jetted to the United States of America to seek global partnerships and support for Nigeria’s recently launched Energy Transition Plan. According to a statement by the VP’s spokesman, Laolu Akande, Osinbajo will meet his American counterpart, Kamala Harris; World Bank Group, and other partners.

The trip is coming about one month after Osinbajo’s successful surgery. Osinbajo is leading Nigeria’s Energy Transition Implementation Working Group on the US mission with meetings starting from September 1 to promote the plan and secure global support from the US government, the private sector, and other development partners. Nigeria’s Energy Transition Plan launched last week is said to need at least $10 billion per annum above business as usual spending for effective implementation.

At the launch, the World Bank and a renewable energy organization – Sun Africa, pledged a sum of $1.5 billion each totaling an initial $3 billion investment to support the implementation of Nigeria’s Energy Transition Plan. The Nigerian VP will also meet US Secretary of Energy, Jennifer Granholm; Secretary of Treasury, Janet Yellen; and President of World Bank Group, David Malpass; among others.

The Vice President’s delegation to the US will include Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed; Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola; Minister of Power, Abubakar Aliyu; Minister of Environment, Mohammed Abdullahi; Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva; amongst others.

The Traditional Prime Minister of Anara acient kingdom in Isiala Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State, High Chief Mike Duru Ejiogu has distinguished himself as a man committed and dedicated to the cause of the generality of Anara people in all fronts.

This is in recognition of the obvious fact that High Chief Mike Duru Ejiogu was on the 7th of August, 2021 crowned as the traditional prime minister of Anara acient kingdom based on the general acceptance of the man many had described as a living legend of the community.

The real Estate developer has shown through his actions and inactions that the burden of the people of the community are topmost in his agenda as he has prioritized the people's happiness in his daily activities.

His committement, dedication, sincerity of purpose and determination to create and build the Anara kingdom of our collective dreams can not be over emphasized because the man has completely keyed Anara community to the map of development.

No wonder the ceremony which heralded his ascendency of the second highest authority in Anara acient kingdom was witnessed by all the traditional rulers in Mbano Nation and Imo State in general where Chief Ejiogu was conferred the title of 'Aka-ekpuchi-onwa Mbano 

This is a title bequeathed on an illustrious son who has in one way or the other contributed immensely to the development of the community and when you take into cognisant of the achievements and contributions of High Chief Mike Ejiogu to the development of the community, only then, you will understand why many has referred him as the empowerment mastron.

There is no need to deny the obvious fact that the choice of High Chief Mike Duru Ejiogu as the Onowu-Añara has the widest acceptance and blessings of all Añararians both home and in diaspora.

Long before his conferment as a High Chief and his subsequent coronation as the Traditional Prime Minister (T.P.M), High Chief M.D Ejiogu has written his name in the gunines book of record.

High Chief Mike Ejiogu runs a foundation that has placed many indigent children on scholarships up to the university level and through his foundation, he has established businesses for women in the community to ease their burdens.

As an employer of Labour and a captain of industries, High Chief Duru Mike Ejiogu  FCICN has taken it upon himself to send alot of our young youths abroad in the search for greener pastures which has become a big relief to their families.

Since his assumption of office as the traditional prime minister of Anara acient kingdom, High Chief Mike Ejiogu gave one million naira each to the thirteen village youths Executive to set up the youth Excos and leadership at the villages.

The workhalic and pragmatic traditional prime minister of Anara acient kingdom is the Chief Executive Of City-Gate Homes, one of the leading real estate firms in Abuja which has employed many youths across the three geo political zones in Imo State, Southeast and Nigeria. 

Akaekpuchi onwa Mbano is also the C.E.O Mbano and Abuja Royal Suites group of hotels and it is on record that the very man of the moment has empowerment vast majority of the teeming Nigerian youths and this has actually helped in reducing the crime rate in the country.

Give it to him, High Chief Mike Duru- Ejiogu has through his empowerment uplifted so many Nigerian youths who are roaming the streets of Lagos, Abuja and Owerri and many of them today are multi millionaires.

On community development, High Chief Mike Duru Ejiogu (Onowu-Añara)_ single handedly built a police post in Añara, renovated the Ancient palace of Eze Agbugba, sew three different uniforms for Eze's cabinet members, gifted the traditional ruler with a state of the art Highlander Jeep, built a chapel for St. John's City Parish Añara among others things.

To crown it all, High Chief Mike Duru-Ejiogu in his wisdom to reduce the crime rate also, placed a good number of people on a salary scale and pays them as and when due.

Since he assumed duty as the Traditional Prime Minister of Añara Ancient Kingdom and doubles as the leader of Eze's Cabinet, Añara has taken another great shape.

It's a thing of joy that the Almighty God through the instrumentality of the hardworking traditional ruler of Anara acient kingdom, HRH Eze Engr. Ogemdi Agbugba made it possible for High Chief Ejiogu to have the opportunity to showcase his wealth of intelligence in community leadership and service. 

The synergy between the Traditional Ruler and the Traditional Prime Minister is highly commendable.

The people of Anara acient kingdom are very grateful to Almighty God for bringing forth High Chief Mike Duru-Ejiogu at this critical time in their history to become the rescuer of the people and pathfinder of great nobility.

There's no gain denying the obvious fact that High Chief Mike Duru-Ejiogu came at the right time when hopes of thousands of people of Anara acient kingdom are almost lost.

The people's traditional prime minister emergence helped in a great way in restoring peace, harmony and togetherness in the entire Community.

High Chief Mike Duru-Ejiogu deserved commendations and appreciations for the roles he has played in bringing the lost glory of the community back within the short period of year he assumed the traditional prime minister of Anara acient kingdom.

It is based on his singular act of yours that I joined other well meaning people of the community to wish you the very best in all your endeavors.

Kelechi Uzomah is a practicing journalist and public affairs analyst based in Owerri, the Imo State Capital.

As the United States government plans to return the over $23 million looted by the late dictator Sani Abacha, the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has demanded a copy of the agreement. Last Tuesday, Nigeria and the United States reached an agreement on the return of over $23 million of the Abacha loot.

Five days after, the rights group wrote a letter to President Muhammadu Buhari, asking him to “direct the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN) to provide our organization with a copy of the agreement the Federal Government recently signed with the United States for the repatriation of $23 million stolen by late General Sani Abacha.”

In the letter dated August 27 and signed by SERAP deputy director Kolawole Oluwadare, the group said its demand is based on the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act, the 1999 Constitution as well as some international obligations Nigeria is meant to follow.

“By the combined reading of the Nigerian Constitution 1999 [as amended], the Freedom of Information Act, and the country’s international obligations, there are transparency obligations imposed on your government to widely publish the agreement on the $23 million Abacha loot,” the letter read in part.

The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has revoked the broadcast licences of Silverbird TV, AIT, Raypower FM, and Rhythm FM amongst others over failure to renew their broadcast licences amounting to N2.66 billion.

A statement by NBC on Friday noted that the move followed the publication of a list of stations yet to renew their licences. According to the Commission, a two-week waiver was given to them in May to do so after which they risked the revocation of their broadcast licences.

But three months after the publication, NBC said, “some licensees are yet to pay their outstanding debts, in contravention of the National Broadcasting Commission Act CAP N11, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004, particularly section 10(a) of the third schedule of the Act.

“Therefore, after due consideration, NBC hereby announces the revocation of the licenses of the…stations and gives them 24 hours to shut down their operations. Our offices nationwide are hereby directed to collaborate with security agencies to ensure immediate compliance.”

The broadcast regulator said the continued operation of the “debtor stations is illegal and constitutes a threat to national security”.

It called on other broadcast stations yet to renew their licences for the present duration to do so within the next 30 days or risk punishment. According to NBC, Friday’s list is the first batch of offenders, adding that a second batch will soon be released.

“The Commission also calls on all IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) and all other broadcast stations that are streaming online to register with the Commission to avoid disconnection,” it added.

“Broadcasters should note that having a DTT or FM license does not warrant a broadcaster to stream online; they are two different licences.”

The Broadcasting Organisation of Nigeria (BON) says it will work with stakeholders to resolve the matter.

Below is the list of affected stations: 

1. Rhythm FM (Silverbird Communications Ltd) FM Abuja
