National ID System To Check Corruption

Published

on

 

The Director-General, National Identity Management Commission (NIMC),  Mr Chris Onyemenam,  said in Abuja yesterday that the new identity
authentication and verification exercise would curtail fraud, especially in the
banking sector.

Onyemenam,
who made the statement when he featured at the forum of the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN), said the system would also address challenges of identifying
genuine social welfare needs.

“ We
would have instituted the various service schemes in particular, identity
authentication and verification which, in our opinion as far as the banking
sector is concerned, would help to mitigate the incidence of fraud and bring it
down to as low as 10 per cent, if not completely eliminating it.

“And of
course, we can then say to ourselves we can help NAPEP, we can help various
other social welfare programmes because we have the data base. And on the basis
of the data base, it can then become possible to make deliberate policy plans
and implement them along those lines, because it is easier for you to say I
want to deal with this category of citizens, and you will have the basis to
deal with them,” he said.

Onyemenam
acknowledged Federal Government’s support to the commission in the paradigm
shift.

“In
terms of the cost, I think the best thing to do is to say that look, this is
not going to come cheap, however, we are being as extremely prudent as possible
and government is mindful to ensure sustainability. “And what has government
done? There is private sector participation, there is concession and currently
we are looking at the concession to see how this can be reworked so that the
difficulties in implementing that concession could be addressed.

“The
concession was put in place just about the time the world experienced recession
and soon after that, we began to experience various reforms in the banking
sector, so access to credit has been a difficult issue. And so, we are looking
at reviewing it. But more importantly, government took certain steps to ensure
that private sector can take investment decisions that are necessary to make
this happen,’’ he said.

The
director-general also attested to increased private sector participation in the
project, as well as government increased funding, through approval of issuance
of 50 million cards at no cost to beneficiaries, and payment for the first 36
enrolment centres.

“The
first 36 enrolment centres have been paid for by government, now these are two
major cost items that have been taken care of by government,’’ Onyemenam said.

 

The
director-general pointed out that the current government investment was nothing
compared to the investment in the failed identity card project.

“I can
confirm to you that government is being extremely prudent with this. I have had
to present and represent to cabinet committees, to Mr President-in-Council.

“Each
time I come for approval from government, I have had to go through very
thorough process, I am examined and re-examined.

Onyemenam
who did not state the amount that has been spent on the project so far, said
however, that government approvals had been consistent since March, 2006.

“That’s
the beauty of the uniqueness of this project. So I will not want to say to you
that this project has cost us so far X amount, or that it will cost Y amount.’’

Onyemenam
said government investment in the project would be recouped through the
sustainability arrangement put in place for the success of the system.

“The
sustainability arrangement built around the project is such that government
will recoup the investment that it is making over time.

“And
once that guarantee is there, I think what we need is to be prudent and timely,
so that revenue recoup and recapture can begin to happen sooner than later,’’
he added.

NDLEA Alerts Parents After Uncovering Drugs In Cookies, Gummies

Published

on

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has cautioned parents to closely monitor their children’s craving for cookies and gummies, warning that some of the products may contain illicit substances being smuggled into the country.

In a statement posted yesterday, NDLEA’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, said recent seizures by the agency’s officers had revealed attempts by criminal elements to introduce prohibited substances under the guise of everyday snacks.

“As parents, if your kids and young ones always crave for cookies and gummies, you may have to pay a little more attention. There may be more to it than ordinary cookies and gummies,” Babafemi wrote, sharing images of seized packages.

The photos showed colourful pouches of “Cookies Delta 8 Gummies” in flavours such as Hawaiian Rain Pineapple Guava and Thai Mango, labelled as vegan and hemp-derived, alongside the actual gummy products.

The warning comes amid a major interception by the Nigeria Customs Service at the Tin Can Island Port in Lagos.

Officers seized two 40-foot containers containing large quantities of cannabis-infused products concealed among legitimate imports such as used vehicles, generators, batteries and fabrics.

The consignment included thousands of Delta-8 cannabis pre-roll cookies, packs of cannabis-infused gummies and other cannabis-infused cookies, with a combined estimated street value of about ?373.8m.

The items were subsequently handed over to the NDLEA.

NDLEA officials described the products, which originated from the United States and were packaged to resemble ordinary vegan snacks with appealing flavours, as an emerging public health threat.

They noted that the attractive packaging could appeal especially to children, students and young people, raising the risk of accidental consumption of concentrated cannabis.

RIWAMA, PCRC Join Forces To Curb Illegal Waste Dumping In Rivers

Published

on

The Rivers State Waste Management Agency (RIWAMA) has announced plans to partner with the Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC) to strengthen efforts at combating illegal waste dumping and improving environmental sanitation across the state.

The partnership was unveiled during a meeting between officials of RIWAMA and the leadership of the Rivers State chapter of the PCRC in Port Harcourt, recently, where both organisations pledged to work together to restore the Garden City status of the state capital.

In his speech, the Supervisor of Market and Community Sanitation in RIWAMA, Mr. Omereji Ukoha, said the collaboration was in line with the vision of the agency’s Managing Director, Dr. Ibimina Wokoma, and the Board Chairman, Dr. Samuel Nwanosike, to promote a cleaner and healthier environment.

Ukoha described the PCRC as a strategic grassroots partner capable of mobilising communities and driving behavioural change through sustained public enlightenment on proper waste disposal.

He expressed concern over the increasing rate of indiscriminate refuse dumping in parts of Port Harcourt, particularly in New GRA, where blocked drainage channels and illegal shanties have continued to contribute to flooding and environmental degradation.

According to him, the agency is determined to intensify enforcement against environmental offenders, warning that unregistered cart pushers and residents who patronise them would be prosecuted in accordance with the provisions of the RIWAMA Act, 2014.

The RIWAMA official urged residents to embrace proper waste disposal practices and patronise only government-approved waste operators in order to safeguard public health and protect the environment.

Responding, the Chairman of the Police Community Relations Committee in Rivers State, Dr. Voke Emore, commended RIWAMA for seeking collaboration with the committee in addressing environmental challenges confronting the state.

Emore said the PCRC would deploy its community-based structures across the state to support public sensitisation and encourage residents to comply with environmental sanitation regulations.

He also called on local government councils to play more active roles in waste management, noting that they collect sanitation levies and should complement the efforts of the state government in maintaining a clean environment.

The PCRC chairman described indiscriminate refuse disposal as a serious environmental and public health concern, stressing that sustained collaboration among government agencies, community leaders and residents remained critical to achieving lasting sanitation goals.

Both organisations expressed optimism that the partnership would promote cleaner communities, reduce environmental hazards and strengthen public participation in efforts to ensure a healthier and more sustainable environment for the people of Rivers State.

Police Nab Kidnap Syndicate, Arrest Five In Rivers 

Published

on

The Rivers State Police Command has arrested five suspected members of a kidnapping syndicate allegedly terrorising communities in Oyigbo Local Government Area of the State.

The State Police Command disclosed this in a statement by its Public Relations Officer, ASP Blessing Agabe, in Port Harcourt,  recently.

The suspects were arrested during a coordinated operation at Oyigbo, following directives by the Commissioner of Police, Rivers State Command, CP Olugbenga Adewole Adepoju.

Those arrested were Ezekiel Emmanuel, 44, from Benue State; Chukwuma Mbanefor, 51, from Anambra State; Nicholas Diala, 65, from Imo State; Ndubuisi Uwakwe, 49, from Abia State; and Ifeanyi Nwakwo, 51, from Imo State.

The Command said the arrest represented another significant operational success in its ongoing efforts to dismantle criminal networks operating in the State.

According to the Police, preliminary investigation indicated that the suspects were allegedly involved in kidnapping operations within Rivers State.

The suspects, during interrogation, allegedly confessed to their involvement in kidnapping and further admitted participating in several operations carried out in Kom-Kom, Railway, Obeama and Afam communities.

The Command said investigation was ongoing, with efforts intensified to identify and apprehend other members of the suspected syndicate who may be connected with the criminal activities.

The Police boss said the operation reflected the implementation of operational directives and the intelligence-driven policing strategy of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, psc, NPM.

Adepoju reaffirmed the Command’s determination to sustain aggressive intelligence-led operations against kidnapping, cultism, armed robbery and other violent crimes across Rivers State.

He warned kidnappers and other criminal elements operating in the State that there would be no safe haven for them, stressing that the Command would relentlessly pursue, arrest and ensure that those found culpable were brought to justice.

The Commissioner further assured residents of the Command’s commitment to protecting lives and property, urging members of the public to remain vigilant and cooperate with security agencies in the fight against crime.

He appealed to residents to provide the Police with credible and timely information capable of assisting security operatives in preventing criminal activities and apprehending suspected criminals.

The Command urged members of the public who may have useful information on the activities of the suspected kidnapping syndicate or other criminal elements to contact the Police through its emergency lines, assuring that such information would assist ongoing investigations.
