Coup: Force remains possible as ECOWAS imposes fresh sanctions on Niger

Coup: Force remains possible as ECOWAS imposes fresh sanctions on Niger

THE Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) imposed fresh sanctions on Niger Republic on Tuesday, August 8, after the country defied an ultimatum issued for the reinstatement of its ousted president Mohamed Bazoum.

Bazoum was overthrown on July 26 during a military takeover, which saw the head of his Presidential Guards, Abdourahamane Tchiani, emerge as the new ruler.

Following the coup, ECOWAS imposed several sanctions on the country, such as the suspension of all commercial and financial transactions between the country and member states, freezing Niger’s assets in ECOWAS central and commercial banks, and a travel ban on the military officials involved, among others.

The Community also issued a seven-day ultimatum, which expired on Sunday, August 6, but the junta in Niger has remained unyielding.

Delegates sent by ECOWAS to dialogue with the junta in Niger were denied entry into the country, citing safety concerns as a reason.

“The current context of public anger and revolt following the sanctions imposed by ECOWAS does not permit the welcoming of this delegation in the required conditions of serenity and security,” a letter by the Nigerien government read.

This was followed by fresh financial sanctions on Niger, which, according to Nigeria’s Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity Ajuri Ngelale will be imposed through the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)

Although Ngelale did not disclose the details of the sanctions imposed, he added that the option of military intervention was still available as part of efforts to restore democracy in the country. He, however, noted that diplomacy is yet regarded as the best option in resolving the issues.

“No options have been taken off of the table,” Ngelale said.

Criticism trail option of military intervention

Several groups have criticised ECOWAS’ intention to carry out military intervention in Niger.

Nigerian President Bola Tinubu, who is also ECOWAS Chairman, wrote to the Senate notifying them of the Community’s decision but did not receive the backing of the lawmakers on the use of force. He was, however, advised to consider other political alternatives in addressing the problem.

Nigeria’s Office for Strategic Preparedness and Resilience (OSPRE) has also warned against the use of military force, describing it as costly and infeasible.

Meanwhile, Niger, backed by Mali and Burkina Faso, two countries suspended by the ECOWAS over military coups, threatened the Community with war should there be a case of military intervention.

The Russian Federation also warned against using force in Niger to avoid jeopardising the spirit of Pan-Africanism.

ECOWAS ultimatum not Nigeria’s independent mandate

Meanwhile, Ngelale stated that the ultimatums and decisions reached by ECOWAS were not being issued by Nigeria but resulted from a consensus between member states.

“Concerning the ultimatum given to the military junta in Niger Republic, ECOWAS mandate and ultimatum is not a Nigerian ultimatum. It is not a Nigerian mandate, and the office of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, also serving as the chairman of ECOWAS, seeks to emphasise this point,” he said on Tuesday.

He also added that further decisions will be taken on the issue following the ECOWAS Extraordinary Summit scheduled for Thursday, August 10.

Possession of illegal firearm: Emefiele moves to prevent further prosecution

Possession of illegal firearm: Emefiele moves to prevent further prosecution

THE suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, has taken steps to prevent further prosecution by the Department of State Services (DSS).

Emefiele in a petition filed at a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos through his lawyers led by Joseph Daudu, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), to prevent the Federal Government from continuing to prosecute him on the accusation of illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition or on any other charge for that matter.

He is also asking the court to clear him of all charges brought against him by the government, which he claims is “brazen disobedience” to the court’s current orders to release him on bond on July 25.

Emefiele also requested a second order preventing the FG from receiving any more court favours unless it complies with the bail decision.

The case was filed before Vacation Judge Nicholas Oweibo, who had admitted him to bail after his arraignment.

The application was filed pursuant to Section 6(6)(a) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), relevant sections of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015 and under the inherent powers of the court.

Emefiele asked the justice to halt further proceedings in the current charge in order to force the government and the DSS to comply with the court’s order granting him bail or remanding him in the custody of the Nigerian Correctional Centre until he completes the terms of his bail, 

According to Channel TV news, a member of the defence team Victor Opara (SAN), said the application was filed on August 8 and served on the FG today (Wednesday).

The applicant further claims it aims to use the court’s authority to enforce its orders not to be viewed as a paper tiger or toothless bulldog and seeks to uphold and defend the rule of law in our democracy.

Justice Oweibo has fixed Thursday, August 10, to hear the application.

Meanwhile, the DSS has reacted to the allegation that it violates court orders.

The service, in a statement by its spokesperson on Monday, August 6, titled ‘DSS and accusation of disobedience to court orders – Setting the records right’, argued that it has obeyed court orders on Emefiele, former Chairman Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Abdulrasheed Bawa, and the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

According to the DSS, it has maintained and obeyed all the court orders and faulted the allegations.

“the Service has obeyed judicial orders and handled the cases procedurally and in accordance with the rule of law. Critics are encouraged to be a bit more discerning and up their research capabilities. Doing so will reveal that the Service obeys orders.

“Recently, the media has been awash with various commentaries about DSS disobedience to Court Orders. These accusations, as wrong as they are, have peaked in the Emefiele saga. It may interest the public and indeed the avowed critics of the Service to note the following incidents and timelines to show that it has religiously obeyed Court orders in respect of the case and even others,” he said.

He went ahead to list the timeline of Emefiele’s case. He added that whether on Emefiele, Bawa or Kanu, the Service has obeyed judicial orders and handled the cases procedurally and in accordance with the rule of law. 

The ICIR reported that a Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court rejected an application filed by the DSS for an order to detain Emefiele for a further 14 days.

In the application, the DSS said the request for the 14 days extension was informed by fresh evidence it uncovered in the case against the suspended CBN boss.

It was gathered that the DSS’s legal team discreetly applied on Wednesday, July 26.

However, the court presided by Hamza Muazu rejected the application due to jurisdictional issues and abuse of the legal system.

The DSS’s attorney, Victor Ejelonu, withdrew the case when the judge questioned the court’s jurisdiction and pointed out that the Magistrate Court had exclusive authority to issue detention orders under sections 293 and 296 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act.

The application came in the wake of Emefiele’s rearrest by the DSS at the premises of the Federal High Court in Lagos, following his remand in a correctional centre pending the fulfilment of his bail conditions.

The ICIR reported that Emefiele was rearrested by the DSS on Tuesday, July 25, minutes after he was arraigned and granted bail by a Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos.

The development followed a physical altercation between operatives of the DSS and the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS).

The ICIR reported on Tuesday, July 25, that the Federal High Court in Lagos granted bail to Emefiele after he was arraigned over charges relating to alleged gun possession.

The former apex bank chief was arraigned on two counts of illegal possession of firearms and ammunition.

 

FG’s tax reforms to repeal laws dragging down businesses – Official

FG’s tax reforms to repeal laws dragging down businesses – Official

THE Federal Government has said its newly constituted presidential committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax reforms will focus on repealing laws that inhibit ease of doing business in the country while also promoting trade facilitation and wealth creation.

The Head of the tax reforms committee, Taiwo Oyedele, said on Tuesday, August 9 2023, that the federal and state government will focus on a framework that harmonises taxes and reduces the number of irregular taxes levied on Nigerians.

Oyedele, a tax consultant expert, while giving further insight into the programme inaugurated by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, said the government won’t tax poverty but would focus on creating wealth.

“The work of the committee, like the President said, is divided into three broad areas of fiscal governance, revenue transformation and growth facilitation. We’ll also focus on the harmonisation of both monetary and fiscal policies. It also focuses on connecting the federal government with the sub-nationals and improving governance impact at local government levels.

“On the revenue transformation aspect of the mandate focuses on how to raise revenue without increasing the burden on the poor. As of today, we have a significant tax gap in the region of N20 trillion,” Oyedele said.

The committee, Oyedele said, planned to repeal many of the tax laws that currently make doing business difficult in the country while prioritising tax harmonisation.

“The other way we think we can raise revenue is to lessen our cost of revenue collection, which is about the highest globally. The reason is that you have all manners of agencies numbering up to 63 Ministries, Department and Agencies of the government MDAs, in the tax collection pool,” Oyedele said in a monitored broadcast on Channels Television.

He regretted the huge number of government agencies in the tax collection pool, which are primarily not mandated to do so by law.

This development, he said, distracts them from their core mandate, which is to facilitate business for the economy.

He noted, henceforth, that such revenue collection functions would be handled by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) for efficiency.

“If you’re Nigeria Customs Service, focus on trade facilitation and border protection, while if you’re Nigeria Communications Commission NCC, just focus on your regulation mandate. This will help improve transparency and hold everyone to account.”

He also said the committee would look at all manner of incentives issued to some businesses and do a cost-benefit analysis to ascertain their economic impact.

“We would have to revisit the incentives and look at their profitability to the Nigerian state. Some may have made sense when they were issued, but not currently.

The committee, he said, will focus on growth facilitation, which seeks to support small businesses while ensuring key laws that support cross-border businesses are enacted.

“We want to ensure we don’t lose businesses to other African neighbours, rather would ensure laws protect such businesses and create opportunities for our people. If you observe, most of those businesses are technology and ICT sector.

Recall president Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Tuesday, inaugurated the committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms with a mandate to achieve an 18 per cent Tax-to-GDP (tax to gross domestic product) ratio within three years.

Adamawa looting: IGP directs tight security around food warehouses nationwide

THE acting Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, has ordered tight security around warehouses nationwide.

This followed the recent attack and invasion of government and private facilities in Adamawa State by hoodlums purportedly looking for palliatives.

Egbetokun disclosed this on Tuesday, August 8, during a meeting with members of the Police Management Team, consisting of Deputy Inspectors General of Police, Assistant Inspectors General of Police, and Commissioners of Police, at Force Headquarters, Abuja.

He directed the officers to prevent the looting of foodstuff and essential stuff. 

“To ensure that such attacks do not reoccur in other parts of the country, Command CP’s are directed to henceforth put in place round the clock provision of security at all government warehouses as well as strategic storage facilities and never allow the repeat of the Adamawa incidents.

“It must be noted that the Force is poised to provide all necessary support to the Federal Government as it seeks workable solutions and succour to the present economic situation in the country,” Egbetokun stated.

In addition, he commended all Commands of the Force for how they handled the recent protest by the organised labour.

Egbetokun added that the police arrested 297 suspects for illegal possession of firearms and recovered at least 520 several-calibre firearms, 4,043 rounds of ammunition, and 264 stolen vehicles since he assumed duty as the acting IGP.

“The police also arrested 986 armed robbery suspects, 377 kidnap suspects, 848 suspects of homicide, 517 suspects of rape and defilement, 874 suspected cultists, and 5281 other suspects for various other offences.

“Also, a total of 363 kidnap victims have been rescued and reunited with their families,” he said.

Egbetokun said the NPF is now engaged in several anti-banditry operations in the North-East and North-Central regions.

The IG stated that in light of the political climate in the Niger Republic after the military coup, the NPF would collaborate with the Nigeria Customs Service and other security organisations to defend the border against insurgents.

The ICIR reported that the Governor of Adamawa State, Ahmadu Fintiri, imposed a 24-hour curfew in the state following the looting of warehouses by residents.

The governor announced the measure on Sunday, July 30, after hoodlums stormed two warehouses, looting items.

It was gathered that the hoodlums chanting “Enough of Hunger” stormed warehouses in the early hours of Sunday and looted items that the government ordered to be distributed to cushion the effect of subsidy removal.

African teams reduce to 0% at FIFA Women’s world cup last 8 fixtures

THE three African sides – South Africa, Nigeria and Morroco –  that qualified from the group stage of the ongoing FIFA women’s world cup to the last 16 fixtures have been knocked out of the tournament.

The ICIR reported after the conclusion of the group stage that 75 per cent of African countries progressed to the next round after amassing the required points to qualify from their groups.

The African representatives that qualified for the last 16 fixtures were Nigeria, South Africa and Morocco, making history as the first time 3 African sides would qualify for the round of 16.

However, after playing against their respective opponents in the knockout stage, the three of them failed to progress to the quarter-finals.

Results of the round of 16 fixtures saw South Africa lose 0-2 to the Netherlands, Nigeria crashed out after a penalty shootout, 2-4 against England while France eased past Morocco, 4-0.

The walloping defeats to the African sides reduced the percentage from 75 per cent in round 16 to zero per cent in round 8.

Nigeria is the only African country that has reached the quarter-finals.

The ICIR analysed the performances of the four African sides that featured at the 2023 FIFA Women’s world cup.

Out of the four matches that Nigeria played, it won only one and drew three others while Morocco lost two and won two.

South Africa won one, drew one and lost two while Zambia lost two and won one. The four African sides had a total of 14 goals and conceded 29 goals in the tournament.

Also, the African sides recorded 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses.

Out of the four African sides, Nigeria recorded 3 goals, and conceded 2, leaving it with a goal difference in all the four matches it played, while Morocco scored only 2 goals and conceded 8 goals, leaving the tournament with minus 6 goals difference.

South Africa, out of the four matches it played, recorded 6 goals and conceded 8 goals, finishing the tournament with a minus two goals difference, while Zambia, which played three matches, recorded 3 goals and conceded 11 goals, ending the tournament with minus 8 goals difference.

This means that Nigeria is the only African country that boasts of ending the tournament recording a goal positive while the other three countries ended with a negative goals difference.

Commenting on the exit of African countries from the tournament, an Ondo state-based sports journalist, Isaac Afolabi, commended their efforts.

“For me, I believe football has taken another dimension in Africa with the introduction of Morocco and Zambia, and this year’s outing is not bad at all when you compare the level of investment and attention given to women’s football in Europe with Africa,” he said.

However, he advised the football continental body in Africa, the Confederation of African Football, CAF, to improve women’s football competition in Africa, saying that it would help them compete effectively on the global stage.

Express entry: Canada invites plumbers, capenters, others for category-based selection

CANADA has announced the first trades round for category-based selection, targeting candidates proficient in trades such as carpentry, plumbing and welding.

A statement by the press secretary of the Ministry of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, Bahoz Dara Aziz, on August 1 disclosed that the Express Entry system is now tailored to provide a streamlined and efficient pathway for individuals with expertise in critical fields worldwide.

Express Entry is Canada’s flagship application management system for those seeking to immigrate permanently through the Federal Skilled Worker Programme, the Canadian Experience Class, the Federal Skilled Trades Programme and a portion of the Provincial Nominee Programme.

Throughout the year, the category-based selection rounds will carry on alongside the general invitation rounds, with further details set to be disclosed in the following weeks.

According to the statement, Canada aims to meet the increasing demand for talent and fill key positions that contribute to the nation’s economic growth and advancement by prioritising the invitation of skilled newcomers with experience in the trades.

While announcing the changes to Express Entry through category-based selection on May 31, the previous Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, Sean Fraser, said the changes help address labour shortages that support an identified economic goal by inviting candidates with specific work experience or French language ability to apply for permanent residence.

In the same vein, the new Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, Marc Miller, on August 1, said the first trade round for category-based selection will be opened in the same month – August. 

According to him, focus candidates will help Canada’s construction sector attract the skilled talent it needs across the country.

“It’s absolutely critical to address the shortage of skilled trades workers in our country, and part of the solution is helping the construction sector find and maintain the workers it needs. This round of category-based selection recognizes these skilled trades workers as essential, and I look forward to welcoming more of these talented individuals to Canada,” The Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship said in the released statement.

Part of the statement read: “In June 2022, the Government of Canada made changes to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act to allow for the selection of immigrants based on key attributes that support economic priorities, such as specific work experience or knowledge of French. 

“On May 31, 2023, the Honourable Sean Fraser, former Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, announced the launch of category-based selection, a new process to welcome skilled newcomers with work experience in priority jobs as permanent residents. 

“The categories were determined following extensive consultations with provincial and territorial partners, stakeholders and the public, as well as a review of labour market needs. A complete list of eligible jobs for the new categories is available on our website.

“Under the Canada–Québec Accord, Quebec establishes its own immigration levels. From 2018 to 2022, admissions under the federal high skilled programs—including the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Canadian Experience Class and the Federal Skilled Trades Program—accounted for 34% to 40% of overall French-speaking admissions outside Quebec.”
