 Deaf African Football Confederation Appoints New President 

The Deaf African Football Confederation - DAFC has announced the approved appointment of Mr Adjagbe Ibrahim from Gabon as one-year interim President of the DAFC in support of the Deaf International Football Association  - DIFA.

Prior to his interim appointment as DAFC President, Ibrahim was the Vice President of DAFC Central Africa and made valuable contributions in supporting the development of the DAFC. 

The outgoing president, Mr. Nde had been the DAFC President since 2015 until 2023 without any elections, in line with the DAFC statute which stipulates that the President is elected every four years. DIFA was therefore requested to appoint new DAFC executive committee and dissolve Mr. Nde along with other members of the executive committee.

The 2nd Elective General Assembly and elections of the DAFC, scheduled to take place in Abuja, Nigeria, on May 21-23, 2024, have been postponed to November 14-15, 2024 due to serious circumstances beyond the organisation's control, including financial constraints, organized in conjunction with the 2nd African Deaf Football Championship (African Deaflympics Qualifiers) to be held in Abuja, Nigeria from 16 to 30 November 2024.

 Sports Minister Welcomes Deaf Eagles, Congratulates Team on Nigeria's First Appearance at World Deaf Football Championships

_Ministry to begin work on making deaf sports mandatory at National Sports Festivals and Youth Games_

The Honourable Minister of Sports Development, Senator John Owan Enoh, today welcomed back Nigeria's Men's Deaf football team, also called the "Deaf Eagles", in Abuja, after their participation at the 4th edition of the World Deaf Football Championships that took place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The Minister hailed the team for their outing as they made Nigeria proud. Nigeria was a first time participant at the Championships, making its debut after three previous editions of the Games.

"I congratulate you all for representing Nigeria at the World Championships, as we made our first appearance since 2008 when this tournament started," the Minister said. "In three previous editions, Nigeria was not represented, but for the first time ever, the Nigerian flag was hoisted at the Games courtesy of your hard work. This deserves that we appreciate and commend you."

Senator Enoh added that sports remains the greatest tool for social inclusion, with its ability to engender diversity, equity and inclusion in the society. 

"There is no greater demonstration of the social inclusiveness of sports than having a deaf team travel to represent Nigeria," he noted. "It is in sports that you find that there is no discrimination whatsoever. By finishing 11th at the world championships, this team has placed Nigeria on the world map. As a country, on the behalf of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, we celebrate your uncommon love and sacrifice for our nation."

To foster the development of deaf sports, the Minister stated that he will work with relevant administrators to ensure deaf sports gets an assured place in the National Sports Festival. He added that his administration will also open the door for the addition of deaf sports to the list of events at the National Youth Games.

The President of the Deaf Sports Federation, Alhaji Sulieman Saka Dagbo thanked the Minister for receiving the team, as it was the first time of being accorded such honour in spite of their past achievements at the continental and global level. 

"We did not expect that a Minister would show up to receive us honourably, that has never happened before," he said. "With this honour, we will ensure that we perform even better in subsequent competitions."

Dagbo made a special request for the minister to provide accommodation, and allowances for the team, which was expeditely approved by the Minister.

Coach of the team Kamaldeen Banjo noted that in spite of the team travelling with 13 players and two coaches, they gave their best shot in Kuala Lumpur. He thanked the Minister for the support provided while the team was away on international soil.

"We want to appreciate the Honourable Minister for giving us the opportunity to participate in this tournament, else Nigeria would not have made the position it got."

Nigeria ranked 11th out of 25 countries at the Games, after surpassing the group stages. The deaf Eagles exited the Championship gallantly after losing 2-0 to Ukraine in the Round of 16.

We must implement programmes with lasting effect, Makinde tasks appointees

 

We must implement programmes with lasting effect, Makinde tasks appointees

As Govt holds three-day retreat

Oyo State governor, ‘Seyi Makinde, has tasked critical stakeholders in his administration to be diligent, prudent and innovative so as to deliver on the administration’s mandate of engendering sustainable development in the state.

This was as the governor advocated effective synergy among all key players across different Ministries, Departments and Agencies of the government, noting that this remained the only way the government would be able to implement policies and programmes that will have a lasting positive impact on the people.

Governor Makinde stated this on Wednesday, at the Conference Centre of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan, during his opening address at a three-day leadership retreat for political appointees, including members of the State Executive Council, Special Advisers, Executive Assistants and Chairmen of Agencies/Parastatals, among others.

While declaring the event open, the governor said: “I want to use these opening remarks to answer two questions; why are we having an Oyo State Government Executive Retreat? Is it to get away from our issues in town, since we are here at IITA, a diplomatic environment? What should we expect from this retreat? At the end of these two and a half days, what would you have gotten?

“Answering these questions will set the tone for this event and even guide the facilitators and speakers in making their presentations. Every project must start with a goal and then you mark out your objectives on the goal.

So, let me answer the first question, why are we having the Oyo State Government Executive Retreat. It is an opportunity for all of us here as decision-makers to rub minds together and develop strategies that will facilitate the success of Omituntun 2.0 agenda.

At this point I would say that nobody should be a stranger to the Oyo State Roadmap for Sustainable to Development, 2023-2027.

“For some of you that we have been working together, we kept talking about the vision, so I believe that a majority of us here would know what is in that roadmap. But I have not had the opportunity to share with everyone as a group the vision behind those strategic plans.

So, this retreat would afford me the opportunity to share the three keys behind Omituntun 2.0 with you all.
“To the second question, what do you expect from this retreat? For those of you who have seen the programme of the day, it promises to be an interesting session, my expectation is that you take note and apply things learnt from the retreat in your various ministries, departments and agencies.”

Governor Makinde, while speaking on the theme “Exploring the Implementation of the Oyo State Roadmap for Sustainable Development 2023 -2027,” equally urged the political appointees to develop strategies that will facilitate the quick delivery of the roadmap sustainable development agenda also known as Omituntun 2.0.

According to him, residents of the state “are expecting more dividends of democracy within the short time of our second term in office,” even as he promised to continue to deliver on policies, projects as well as activities that will have a long term effect on the people of the state.

The governor, who maintained that his administration is still operating the four pillars of economic expansion, security, education and health, explained that the government only added the components of tourism and solid minerals development to the drive to expand the economy of the state

The governor equally explained that the agenda of Omituntun 2.0 is to consolidate on the achievements recorded by the administration under Omituntun 1.0, stating that more efforts would be required to deliver on his electioneering promises to the people, who aligned with his commitment to upgrade Omituntun 1.0.He enjoined the appointees to always collaborate with relevant ministries and agencies and play their parts in ensuring the delivery of the promises.

Delivering his paper, the lead speaker, Mr Niyi Yusuf, who spoke on the main topic of the retreat, “Adaptive Leadership Strategies in an Uncertain Time,” said that successful leaders are those that navigate their time even in times of crisis.

The keynote speaker and CEO of the FirstBank Group, Dr Sola Adeduntan, who was represented by Mr Olusegun Alebiosu, advised the appointees to set up strategies and practices that can be used to overcome obstacles and accomplish meaningful changes in line with the mission and vision of the state.

He urged the appointees to be dedicated to service in order to help the development of the state.Speaking on the topic, “Personnel Management in Economic Landscape,” Dr Adeduntan commended the achievements and good innovations of the Governor Makinde administration, especially in the areas of information technology, with the recent introduction of smart cards for Omituntun buses. 

Earlier in her welcome address, the Secretary to the State Government, Professor Olanike Adeyemo, noted that the retreat is strategic, stating that its objective is to ensure that all appointees work together to achieve the mission and vision of the administration, while looking inward to a great and holistic adaptive system.

House of Reps’ Speaker Calls for More Investments in Africa’s Digital Infrastructure

 

House of Reps’ Speaker Calls for More Investments in Africa’s Digital Infrastructure

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt Hon Abbas Tajudeen has called for more investments in Africa’s digital infrastructure noting that the continent is capturing only a fraction of its digital economic potential.

Hon Abbas made the call on Wednesday, at the 12th Africa Internet Governance Forum organized by the Ministry of Communication, Innovation, and Digital Economy.

The Speaker was represented at the event by the House Committee Chairman on ICT and Cyber Security, Hon Adedeji Olajide Stanley, a member representing Ibadan Northwest/ Southwest Federal Constituency.

Speaking at the event, the Speaker noted that the theme of this year’s forum is both timely and relevant in today’s interconnected world adding that digital technologies have become an integral part of our daily lives, transforming various sectors and industries.

Speaking further, Hon Abbas stated that the internet in particular has revolutionized communication, commerce, education, healthcare, and governance.

His words: “I’m delighted to be with you at this very important event of the 12th Africa Internet Governance Forum and to thank the Ministry of Communication, Innovation, and Digital Economy for this initiative.

“Africa has experienced significant growth in internet penetration over the past decades. With these opportunities, some challenges must be addressed to ensure a safe, secure, and inclusive digital environment for all Africans.

“While some regions have access to high-speed internet and advanced digital infrastructure, others still lack basic connectivity. This disparity hinders equal access to information, education, healthcare services, and economic opportunities.”

The speaker, however, said to bridge the gap, Africa must prioritize investment in digital infrastructure and connectivity across Africa. He urged governments to work hand in hand with private sector players to expand broadband coverage, improve network quality, and reduce costs.

He stressed that there should be a policy targeted at promoting digital literacy and skills development to empower individuals and communities to fully participate in the digital economy.

He added that Africa Must address the issue of cybersecurity saying cyberattacks can have devastating consequences for individuals businesses and even national security.

As Representatives of the people, the House of Representatives has enacted laws to address cyber-related crimes to ensure the protection of online privacy, data security, and digital rights.” Hon Tajudeen said.

A new modern amusement park will be constructed at the Ilutuntun Business District," H.E. Governor Seyi Makinde in last night's newsletter.

 

A new modern amusement park will be constructed at the Ilutuntun Business District," H.E. Governor Seyi Makinde in last night's newsletter.    THE BUSINESS of GOVERNANCE      Newsletter No 72 | September 2023 Hello Olusegun, How are you? Let me start by thanking you for the honest feedback you keep providing us. It definitely helps us to continue to tweak our strategies to provide better governance for you, the good people of Oyo State. At other times, your feedback is a signal to us that perhaps we have not clearly communicated some of the policies that we are adopting, and there is a need to clarify issues further. For example, in the last week, we have received feedback about the Trans-Amusement Park, Ibadan, that further reinforces our belief that tourism will be a major source of Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) for our dear State. And so, our resolve to seek more ways to promote tourism in Oyo State is strengthened. Since 2019, we put up the Trans-Amusement Park, for private sector investment in keeping with our mantra to ensure that the government gets value from every structure developed before now. The few people who showed interest backed out after they had an opportunity to visit the facility and do proper due diligence. The reason we have received a lack of interest is that the equipment is obsolete and cannot be repaired. It is also more expensive to scrap the equipment and construct a modern amusement park in the same location. We also considered the traffic bottlenecks that would arise if a new, far busier park remained at that location. We, therefore, decided it would be more prudent to utilise the land in this location for a housing project while we use the revenue from this to develop our dear State further. So, let me use this email to repeat that our plans for tourism under Omituntun 2.0 remain on course. It may not be carried out as some expect because several factors will impact delivery. Still, we will continue to sort out these issues to ensure that we achieve sustainable development through tourism. A new modern amusement park will be constructed at the Ilutuntun Business District through a PPP collaboration. Speaking of sustainable development, on our trip to the United States for the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) as part of President Bola Ahmed Tinubus's entourage, we have been in bilateral meetings, luncheons and side events to discuss trade and investments, among other things. We were also at the NASDAQ Executive Business Roundtable organised by the US Chamber of Commerce/Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC)/Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX). Of course, this also gave us an opportunity to attend the NASDAQ Closing Ceremony (Bell Ringing). And just before I go, a little update on our SAfER programme. We admit it is taking a little longer than we envisioned to actualise the SAfER packages that concern smallholder farmers, youth agropreneurs and small and micro businesses. This is because we are trying to ensure that we carry out the needed due diligence that will precede the disbursement of funds. As I already mentioned, we are looking to use the Agricultural Credit Corporation of Oyo State (ACCOS) and commercial or microfinance banks for this activity. Once our internal processes are completed, we will be asking eligible persons to register for the relevant SAfER package that they are interested in. Talk to you again soon.

 Iliasu was convicted and sent to Prison. He was thereafter bailed out of Prison by Justice Begore. This case is still pending at Abuja Court and Alhaji Iliasu refused to appear before the Judge, when ORDERED several times to Appear before the Judge.

Breaking: Agidigbo, Splash FM Ban All Marlians Song [See Reasons]

Following the commencement of the Nigerian Police Force investigation into the mysterious death of the former record label signee of Marlians, Late Mohbad, the management of Agidigbo 88.7 FM and Splash 105.5 FM, Ibadan has ordered a ban on airing of songs by Azeez Fashola, popularly called Naira Marley on their duo stations.

This was disclosed in a post shared on Facebook by the CEO of Agidigbo FM, Oriyomi Hamzat.

Equally, one of the presenters at Splash FM 105.5, Aderonke Adesola tweeted the placement of the ban on Marlian record on their station with immediate effect.

Both Radio stations cited the ongoing police inquiry into Mohbad’s death as the reason behind the ban.

The statement read in parts;

” It stated that Naira Marley’s songs are now classified as “Not to be Broadcast” on our stations until further notice, effective immediately”.

Given the sensitive nature around the death of Mohbad and the criminal procedure, the police have commenced, pending the end of a thorough investigation to bring out the circumstances surrounding the death of the late popular rapper named Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba (Mohbad)”.

“To this effect, Naira Marley’s songs have become NTBB ( not to be broadcast) on our stations till further notice. This is with immediate effect. Thank you.”

SEPTEMBER 19, 2023: PRESS STATEMENT: The Impact of Delayed & Denied Equal Rights to Justice for Crimes Against Humanity Related to Persons With Disabilities in Nigeria By The Joint National Association of Persons With Disabilities (JONAPWD) Board of Trustee (BOT) Chairlady, Miss Omotunde Ellen Thompson.

 SEPTEMBER 19, 2023: PRESS STATEMENT: The Impact of Delayed & Denied Equal Rights to Justice for Crimes Against Humanity Related to Persons With Disabilities in Nigeria

By The Joint National Association of Persons With Disabilities (JONAPWD) Board of Trustee (BOT) Chairlady, Miss Omotunde Ellen Thompson. 

The Impact of Delayed & Denied Equal Rights to Justice for Crimes Against Humanity Related to Persons With Disabilities in Nigeria

In Nigeria, it is saddening to observe that cases that are related to Persons With Disabilities, and justice have been unduly delayed and in the worst scenario, denied due process, fair procedure, and equal protections of constitutional and customary rights.

 Nationwide, Persons With disabilities were regularly subjected to traumatic, cruel and unusual punishments because of delay and denial of justice. The resultant Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) effect is better imagined than experiences, as it affects both Persons With Disabilities psychic and society’s image.

Delayed equal rights to justice can exacerbate the already existing challenges and vulnerabilities faced by persons with disabilities, and it hinders the country's or Society’s progress toward achieving social inclusion, equality, and justice for all.

Any nation or society that delays equal rights to justice, especially for social, civil, human, disability, cultural and criminal cases that affect persons with disabilities is not only insensitive but setting a stage for a time boom, that if exploded has deleterious and damaging constitutional, religious and customary effects not only to the vulnerable but on the entire systems.

Many societal vices like insecurity, terrorism, kidnapping, youth restiveness, cultism, money rituals, 419, Yahoo! Yahoo!, drug and alcohol abuse, and militancy characterize our nation’s landscape, majorly because of delayed and denied equal rights to justice.

In Nigeria, national laws are enacted by the legislative branch of government which comprises the House of Representatives and the Senate while the executive arms of government assent's bills into law, they also create guidelines, rules and regulations while the judiciary interprets and applies the law for the betterment of society. These arms of government in Nigeria ensure checks and balances and all work in unison to maintain a healthy and free society that protects human dignity and ensures the safety of properties.

When one arm of government is not performing its functions effectively, it can lead to various consequences and challenges within the system of checks and balances. In a democratic system of government like in our country, legislatures have the responsibility to oversee and hold the other branches of government accountable for their actions or inactions.

This oversight can include conducting hearings, investigations, and audits to assess the performance of the executive or judiciary, including the independent Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). There is, therefore, a wake-up call to the 10th National Assembly, to effectively exercise their oversight functions, by revisiting all pending cases that have been denied equal rights to justice or unnecessarily prolonged, especially as they concern persons with disabilities in Nigeria to instill Social justice.

As beautiful as laws are established, they are of no effect if they are not properly implemented, the onus falls back on the judiciary to interpret, and enforce such laws. It becomes aberration if people whose actions go contrary to the law are not held to account for their actions according to the law.

This is an unfortunate situation that characterized the discharge of justice on criminals that deceived persons with disabilities or in the worst scenario, front their needs to defraud the public and government.

A case in point is the case that was instituted by the Independent Corrupt Practices & other Related Offenses Commission (ICPC) against Alhaji Olarewaju Abdulrauf Iliasu, who in conspiracy with others for over one decade has been misusing the Federal Civil Service Staff with Disabilities Multiple Purpose Cooperative Society and our poor 31 million Nigerians With Disabilities to defraud innocent Nigerian businessmen and women.

We are aware that it is commonly said time and justice are parallel, but we are using this medium to call for the judiciary and legislative arms of government to expedite judgment against crimes committed against persons with disabilities and were denied due process, fair procedure, and equal protections of constitutional and customary rights. Given the backdrop that the majority among them are poor and not informed of their constitutional and customary rights; I think that is one of the reasons that many criminals find it a haven to abuse and defraud Persons With Disabilities recklessly in Nigeria with impunity and nobody cares to ask questions.

Given the nationwide pile-up of cases and criminal offenses minted against the disabled in Nigeria in past democratic administrations,  we are using this medium to plead to the current 10th National Assembly’s legislators to keep with what they are statutory established by raising to their oversight functions and protect the rights of Nigerians With Disabilities. 

The judiciary should properly interpret laws and quickly bring culprits to book so that we the Nigerians With Disabilities can feel a sense of protection of our fundamental constitutional, civil, customary, religious, disability and human rights. It will also deter others who are specialists in deceiving the public in the pretense of caring for or supporting the needs of Nigerians with Disabilities.

We are hereby calling for a more efficient and responsive legal system in Nigeria, particularly concerning cases involving persons with disabilities. There should be a stronger commitment to upholding the rights and well-being of Nigerians with Disabilities within the ambit of extant laws.

Finally, we are also calling on both the 10th National Assembly and Executive Branch of Government, led by HE President Bola Tinubu to without further delays, put in place machinery to commence intense creating of awareness and implementation of the Discrimination Against Persons with Disabilities (Prohibition) Act, 2018 and its Independent National Commission for Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD), including the UN CRPD and Disability-Inclusive Sustainable Development goals (SDGs), 2030 Agenda.THANK YOU.
