The Federal Government says the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) will carry out a comprehensive audit of all local airlines in the country.

The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, stated this on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Thursday.

He said that beyond the suspension of Dana Airlines and the ongoing audit of the airline, all other carriers in the country would be audited to guarantee the safety of passengers and the health of the civil aviation industry.

Keyamo, who assumed office last August following his appointment by President Bola Tinubu, has come under fire in the last 24 hours over what some civil aviation watchdogs described as “external interference” in the autonomy of the NCAA.

 

On Wednesday, Keyamo directed the the NCAA to suspend Dana Airlines, saying recent events of the local carrier raised serious concerns regarding both the safety and financial viability of their operations. The minister said the airline should remain suspended until the conduct of a comprehensive audit, a directive NCAA Director General Chris Najomo enforced immediately.

The suspension of Dana Air was enforced some 24 hours after one of the airlines’ planes skidded off the runway at Lagos airport.

Some stakeholders subsequently said it was wrong for the minister to direct the NCAA to suspend an airline, urging the Senior Advocate of Nigeria to respect the autonomy of the regulator.

‘I Can Direct NCAA’

However, Keyamo slammed his critics, saying that the law empowers him to direct the NCAA to do the right thing “in matters of national security”.

 

The minister argued that “a series of incidents had happened two years ago that the airline is not healthy”.

“Let those aviation experts take their wives and children to board that airline that was declared unsafe,” said a furious Keyamo.

 

“Would Nigerians have preferred that I keep quiet and be part of the cartel, all in the name of I am not supposed to interfere? What am I doing as minister?” he queried.

 

On how long the audit of Dana Airlines would take, he said, “It can be as quick as possible. Like I said, do the right thing, return to business. We must do the right things for the safety of Nigerians. Not only them (Dana Airlines), we will carry an audit of all of them, all of them. Let Nigerians be safe when they fly our airlines.”

One piece of good news from Nigeria in the past one month is the rapid recovery of Nigeria’s currency, the naira. The naira was rated as the best-performing currency in the world in the last one month, rising rapidly from a low of about 1 USD to N1,900 to about 1 USD to N1,000. That brought some calm into the minds of people.

 

The naira witnessed unprecedented depreciation from May 2023 when President Bola Tinubu was inaugurated. In 2015 when Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) took over from Dr Goodluck Jonathan as president, one dollar was exchanged in the parallel market for about N220. By the end of his eight years in office in 2023 when Buhari was handing over to Tinubu, the exchange rate had dropped to about N750 for a dollar. Just ten months into the Tinubu presidency, the naira had plunged to about N1,900 – over 150 per cent depreciation.

 

Immediately the administration of Tinubu came on stream, it took two decisions that it saw as pragmatic and transformational. One was the removal of fuel subsidy. The other was the introduction of the floating of the naira by which the naira would be allowed to compete with other currencies based on market forces. The two actions immediately dealt a big blow to the Nigerian economy, as petrol price went up astronomically from N185 per litre to about N650, while the naira began to depreciate speedily. It was very destabilising for many Nigerians, as there was no change in the salaries or earnings of most people.

 

Even though the naira has not returned to where it was when Tinubu came into office last year, the recent rally of the naira has been comforting. The speedy depreciation had created fear and uncertainty among Nigerians and foreign investors. The fear was that the naira could eventually plummet to as low as N5,000 to a dollar before the end of the four-year term of Tinubu in  2027. The picture that came to mind was that of some currencies of some countries which depreciated to a frightening low that there were jokes that one needed a wheelbarrow full of cash to buy a bottle of water in such countries. But the recent appreciation of the naira brought some relief.

 

However, the strengthening of the naira has coincided with the dwindling of Nigeria’s external reserves. As of April 17, 2024, Nigeria’s foreign exchange reserves had lost a total of $2.33 billion in 31 days, dropping from $34.45 billion on March 18, 2024 to $32.12 billion on April 17. The April 17 figure was the lowest the reserves had witnessed in seven years since September 20, 2017, when it stood at $32.08 billion.

 

This current fall started in mid-March. Before that, the reserves had grown by $1.28 billion between February 5 and March 18, 2024. But since March 18, the foreign reserves have been dipping. For example, between March 18 and March 19, the reserves dropped from $34.45 billion to $34.39 billion. The next day, it fell to $34.32 billion. Two days later, it further dropped to $34.26 billion. The drop was so consistent that in 18 days, the foreign exchange reserves had lost $1.02 billion. Within a month, that figure had almost been doubled to $2.33 billion.

 

Coincidentally, the depletion of the foreign exchange reserves began to happen shortly after the Central Bank of Nigeria announced its resumption of the sale of foreign exchange to eligible Bureau de Change operators in the country. The CBN had suspended the sale of foreign exchange to BDCs on July 27, 2021. But on February 27 this year, the CBN announced that it would sell foreign exchange worth $20,000 to each eligible BDC in Nigeria, for the purposes of rectifying “the persisting distortions in the retail segment of Nigeria’s foreign exchange market and bridging the widening gap in the exchange rate.”

 

The CBN sold the foreign exchange to the BDCs at the rate of N1,301 per dollar, with a proviso: “All BDCs are allowed to sell to end-users at a margin not more than one per cent (1%) above the purchase rate from CBN.”

 

On March 26, the CBN sold the second tranche of foreign exchange to the BDCs, allocating $10,000 per BDC at N1,251 per dollar. On April 8, the CBN allocated $10,000 to each eligible BDC at the rate of N1,101 for each dollar.

 

The correlation between the time the naira began to appreciate and the time the nation’s foreign exchange reserves began to decrease led many to raise the alarm that it was caused by the pulling of money from the foreign reserves and selling to the BDCs at a lower rate. This was seen as another way of robbing Peter to pay Paul. If Nigeria’s foreign reserves had to be depleted by over $2 billion in one month to achieve the news that Nigeria’s currency was the best-forming currency in the past month, how would it benefit Nigeria in the long run? How long will the CBN dip its hands into the foreign reserves to bolster the naira? How is it different from paying subsidies to importers of refined petrol so that it can be sold at a lower rate to Nigerians, thereby incurring huge national debts? If the CBN stops, what will happen? Will the naira not start depreciating again? How then will the billions of dollars lost so quickly to the BDCs be recouped?

 

The CBN Governor, Yemi Cardoso, denied the allegation that the foreign reserves were being depleted by “currency subsidy.” He said that the decrease in the nation’s reserves was caused by debt repayments and other standard financial obligations.

 

National currencies usually strengthen when the economy experiences some positive outcomes like increased production, rise in the volume of exports, drop in inflation, drop in interest rate, etc. But none of such happened in the case of Nigeria, making some people take the explanation of the CBN Governor with a pinch of salt.

 

Every patriotic Nigerian looks forward to the strengthening of the Nigerian economy, which will manifest in the strengthening of the naira, increase in job opportunities, reduction in crimes, and so on. But it will be good if this occurs through a clear way that can be easily seen and explained, especially one that relates to a positive change in productivity. That is the change that is sustainable and capable of creating positive vibes in the nation.

 

The seemingly positive news about the naira is not giving most Nigerians the required feeling of equanimity. The fear is that the matter looks like someone using his or her palm to block a water channel. The flow of water may stop for a while. But any time the person gets tired and moves his or her hand out, the water will come bursting through.

 

 

There should be long-lasting actions aimed at keeping the naira from speedy depreciation. Increased production and exportation is one trusted way of doing that. Others are political stability, economic stability, security, tourism, etc. For a long-term result regarding the price of the naira, the Federal Government should explore these measures.

It would be good if we all realise the truth that nobody is going to build our country for us. As of now, the country needs to be built, brick and mortar, little by little. It is a good sign that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has set up an Economic Team that looks quite formidable. No longer would the crucial business of the economy, the most important aspect of building our country, be left only in the hands of politicians. Looking at the team makes one to have the confidence that the government is serious about its self-imposed assignment of making tomorrow better than yesterday. The new team includes such giant private-sector players like Aliko Dangote, Tony Elumelu, Amina Maina, Funke Okpeke, Segun Agbaje and Rasheed Sarumi.

 

The effect has started showing. In Nigeria, whatever goes up does not come down, except you-know-what. But the naira exchange rate to the dollar and other international currencies is going down. We also hope that the price of petroleum and allied products would also stabilise. That is the opportunity and promise that Dangote Refineries, Lagos, has offered our country. In the months ahead, we would be able to grasp the full implication of Nigeria having the largest and most modern petroleum complex in the world.

 

The Dangote Refinery is sitting on 180 acres of land at the Lekki Free Trade Zone in Lagos State. It is going to be producing diesel, aviation fuel, petrol and other petroleum products. It has the capacity to process about 650,000 barrels of oil per day. When fully operational, it is expected to provide direct and indirect employment to 135,000 people in Lagos State. The refinery has cost almost 20 billion American dollars.

 

Already, even before the refineries start firing in all cylinders, its competitors in Europe and other theatres are jittery. Several refineries in Europe, which for some decades have been exporting petroleum products to Nigeria, are going to face a hard time. First, the Nigerian market would no longer be available for them. Second, Dangote petroleum products may also be ready to give them a good fight in the European market. This would be the first time an African company would directly threaten European companies in the theatre of Europe. There is no doubt that the months ahead would be very interesting.

 

However, it is not yet time for chest-beating for Nigeria. The old establishment is quite influential in the power loop of Nigeria and may pull one or two stings to make things happen here. The Dangote Group is already feeling the heat where it hurts most. For many weeks it could not buy crude oil to refine. Without crude oil, the refinery is not more than a tourist attraction. To start its operation, the Dangote refinery had been on queue with other competitors to get crude from the Nigerian National Petroleum Company plc. The NNPC has the monopoly to sell Nigeria’s crude. To get a share of the market, you have to be in the good book of the power-that-be. That is a delicate dance which the Dangote Group is learning in a hurry.

Of course, economic independence, which is more difficult and protracted than political independence, is not going to come on a platter of gold. In a recent newspaper interview, Professor Ehiedu Iweriebor of the Department of Africana and Puerto Rican/Latino Studies, Hunter College of The City University of New York, defines Dangote Refinery and its related projects as the “Freedom Projects,” because of its expected impact on the Nigerian economy. “The plant would reduce Nigeria’s import dependency, its vulnerability to external pressure and also empower the country to begin to generate its own prosperity through the production and export of value-added goods rather than raw materials export,” says Iweriebor. “It means that Dangote refinery can supply refined oil to Nigeria and to parts of Africa. It will detach these regions from the dependency on Western suppliers for expensive and critical fuel supply.”

 

What should we expect from those whose refineries are going to shut down while the Dangote Refinery is revving into life? It would be naïve for us to expect them to do nothing. Oil is the life of the industrial societies of Europe and the Americas. In the aftermath of the 1973 Arab-Israeli War, the Arab oil producing countries started the oil embargo against the West which gave birth to the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries. The United States and its allies threatened to take military action if the stalemate was not resolve. In the end, many Arab countries had to back down. Today, the United States has a very large military base in Saudi Arabia, the home of Islam, and many other countries in the Middle-East. In the wake of the Israeli-Hamas conflict, there are thousands of American troops and sailors sent to the Middle-East.

 

Economic consideration has been a proper pretence for war. Saddam Hussein, the dictator of Iraq believed that the tiny kingdom of Kuwait was sabotaging his country’s interest by refusing to cooperate with Iraq at OPEC meetings on the issue of oil production quota. He also accused Kuwait of slant drilling that allowed Kuwaiti oil drilling to have access to Iraqi oil. Then he decided to invade Kuwait and the job was accomplished within 72 hours. The Western world could not imagine Saddam to be in charge of the oil fields of Iraq and Kuwait at the same time. The result was the ultimatum issued to Saddam: withdraw or face war. In 1990, Saddam faced war instead and the consequences are still with us till today. By the time of the second Iraq War in 2003, Saddam was driven out of his luxurious presidential palace and was made to have a date with the hangman.

 

Nigeria had faced the same kind of crisis with international oil politics. On the eve of the Nigerian Civil War, the Western World was in a dilemma about which side to support. Most of the active oil fields were in the newly proclaimed Republic of Biafra under the leadership of Colonel Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu. The Federal Government, under the leadership of General Yakubu Gowon, was in charge of a larger territory, mostly without oil. Gowon realised that crucial to the war efforts was the control of the oil fields. One night, Colonel Benjamin Adekunle led a flotilla of naval ships that took his troops to the rebel held island of Bonny. Thy arrived there around 5 a.m. and took the Biafran troops by surprise. After a firefight of more than one hour, Adekunle landed on Bonny, captured the oil fields and changed the tide of the war. The victorious troops formed the core of the new Third Marine Commando Division and its leader took the sobriquet, the Black Scorpion.

This time around in 2024, firefight would not solve the problem. The challenge of a Nigerian company sending European firms out of the market in Africa and Europe is not going to be taken with folded arms. The Tinubu Economic Team needs to draw up contingency plans for this eventuality. We have seen what is happening on the international air routes with the new muscles of Air Peace, the largest and most capable Nigerian Air Carrier. Suddenly, the foreign airlines who have resulted into a price-war, struggling to disrupt the emerging leadership of Air peace on the international routes. The dogfight in the sky promises to be interesting and messy.

 

The lesson is that we are capable of building our country. It is wrong for us to expect others to help us do the job even when we wrongly believe we can pay. The Soviet Union under Josef Stalin, helped Mao Zedong to power in the Chinese Civil War which ended with the victory of the communists on October 1, 1949. However, when the relationship between China and the USSR deteriorated, Soviet engineers removed the rail-tracks they had already laid across China in order to disrupt the Chinese economic programme. China responded with the campaign for self-reliance and built its own rail system, its cars, its air-craft and its aircraft carrier. Chinese built China. Let us build ours.

EFCC: Time To Sack, Prosecute Lamorde (1)

The controversy trailing the present leadership of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) compelled many to investigate the anti-graft Agency. The investigations, in turn, have given rise to the several calls for the removal and prosecution of the Chairman of the Commission, Ibrahim Lamorde.

Just as there is time for everything, it is clear that the time to sanitise the country’s anti-graft agencies has come.

Most worrisome are the obvious cases of corruption involving an anti-corruption agency. This goes to say that ‘a dog has eaten the bone hung on its neck’, according to a popular Igbo adage.

In 2013, when Cleen Foundation, a non-governmental organisation, following a survey, declared the EFCC the most corrupt public institution in Nigeria, many found it difficult to believe that the government of the day never took a step. I had also expected the Commission to come out strongly to refute the claims, if they had a strong point, but what we saw was a lame defence, attacking the Foundation, leaving the substance. Indeed, there are several unanswered questions regarding the credibility of the EFCC.

In EFCC, under the present leadership, it is no news that monies are collected from suspects in the name of clearing them of allegations and to avoid prosecution. In high profile cases, negotiations are held and the suspects made to pay certain percentages of the monies looted and thereafter, the cases are sabotaged and not taken forward.

The present EFCC Leadership owes Nigeria an explanation on what happened in the case of Habibu Adamu, Mr. Lamorde’s brother in-law, who was shielded from writing statements in a case of alleged criminal conducts; he was never invited by the investigating officer, on the instruction of the chairman of the commission. The Chairman, contrary to the internal procedures in EFCC, where petitions against staff are usually forwarded to the Department of internal affairs, decided to forward it to Policemen in the Operations department where he further allegedly instructed them to destroy the case file, as is the case in so many others affecting his allies.

What of the case of Mrs. Uzoma Attang, one of the accused persons in the Pension scam, who, in her petition against Mr. Habibu Adamu of EFCC, clearly revealed that Mr. Habibu demanded and collected sixty-five Million Naira from her in her statement and clearly stated how these monies were disbursed, with details of account number and the banks. She also made available text messages exchanged between her and Mr. Habibu, further stating how a pension scam suspect ‘Mike Okoro’, who had allegedly given Mr. Habibu bribe, was used as a prosecution witness as against his being prosecuted, after corrupt negotiations.

Nigerians must also ask the EFCC under the present administration, which of the board meetings of the Commission that birthed the controversial resolution which they are parading, claiming that the Nigeria Financial Intelligence Unit-NFIU is Independent; if the NFIU under the EFCC is Independent, how come the EFCC Chairman wakes up at will and removes the Directors of the NFIU?

No fewer than three Directors of the Unit have faced the same fate in the last years. Why is the EFCC opposed to an operationally Independent NFIU, if not out of fear of exposure of the atrocities in the Commission by the Financial Intelligence Centre?

What about all the high profile cases affecting some prominent Nigerians? How come the cases have all gone to sleep? How many high profile convictions have the EFCC recorded under the present leadership?

In 2013, a Non-Governmental organisation, Media Initiative against Injustice, Violence and Corruption-MIIVOC invoked the Freedom of information act via a request for information bothering on credibility, finances and Police presence in the Commission.

According to the FOI request, signed by the Organisation’s Programme Manager, Philip Inyang, copy of which was acknowledged by the EFCC, MIIVOC made a 7-point demand that cantered on the controversies surrounding the Commission’s financial state, alleged dominance of the Commission by the Police and other credibility issues.

The request reads in part: “We refer to the August 5, 2013 publication on Daily Sun Newspaper and the Punch newspaper of August 2nd, 2013 which reported that there are about 700 Policemen working in the EFCC, majority of whom are top management Staff. In another report in the Nigerian Voice.com, an online newspaper, it was alleged that most heads of Units, Departments and zones in the Commission are headed by Policemen, irrespective of qualifications, federal character and background.”

In response to the Vanguard Newspapers publication of January 21st 2013, the EFCC Spokesman Wilson Uwajuren denied the predominant presence of Policemen in the Commission, without explaining what the 700 policemen are doing in EFCC and how 700 policemen, out of less than 1,200 EFCC staff is not a predominant figure in an organisation that was created more than ten years ago. He also failed to address the issues raised in the report by the Senate where EFCC was alleged to be spending funds meant for the recruitment of new staff and payment of benefits to its core officials on Police.

Continuing, the report states: “On ThisDay newspaper of 17th December, 2013, the Commission was quoted as being broke and having less than N2m in her accounts. In another statement credited to the Commission’s Spokesman, Wilson Uwajuren and published on Vanguard and Guardian newspapers of 19th December, 2013, the Commission was reported to have somersaulted, claiming that it was not broke.

“To sustain the credibility of this Commission among Nigerians and at the international level, a more robust and convincing response is expected from the Commission in situations such as this, considering the series of controversies that have trailed the Commission’s activities and operations lately.

“It is the need for this credibility and in view of the right of Nigerians to know, that we most respectfully invoke Sections 1, 2 (3)(V), 2(3)(Vi) of the 2011 Freedom of Information Act to request for the following: Details of all Police officers posted to EFCC, their qualifications, ranks, and duties as well as dates of secondment to EFCC; Details of police officers that are in charge of operations, sections and units of EFCC; Details of senior officers of EFCC occupying Directorate positions and the number that are supposed to be in Directorate positions if not for the police officers; The volume and value of EFCC funds (INCLUDING NON-APPROPRIATED FUNDS) that go to the Police, Ministry of Trade and Investment Special Control Unit Department, Training of staff, number of officials of EFCC trained (and other officials who are not EFCC officials) and how much was saved from EFCC budget in 2013 given all the international funding and support it obtained in 2012/2013.”

Other requests made by MIIVOC are: Details of support and funding from the international community in 2013, especially, funds from:

GIABA/ECOWAS and World Bank; Details of EFCC officials trained by international agencies in 2013 and how much was saved in the budget of EFCC because of this support and the actual financial statement of the Commission, as at December 31st, 2013.

Following the Commission’s refusal to release the information, the NGO approached a Federal High Court in Abuja. The EFCC ensured that the matter was frustrated, after an initial order by the Court directing it to appear before it to explain why it must not release the information sought. Till date, the EFCC is still battling to ensure that the matter does not see the light of the day.

What about the uncountable cases of criminal negotiations with corrupt public office holders? Not forgetting the case of re-looting of funds recovered from convicted corrupt public office holders. Funds recovered are diverted and kept to yield interests for the EFCC leadership for long and only declared when an alarm is raised. The cases are numerous.

Lamorde is a Policeman and his background makes it difficult for him to be transparent. He has also surrounded himself with the same policemen who fit in as his partners in crime. In fact, the EFCC is a mere extension of the Nigerian Police Force. Then, why waste Nigeria tax-payers money in funding an Agency that is compounding the country’s woes and consolidating the culture of corruption?

If the EFCC is made up of almost entirely Policemen, then we are not serious in this country. Do Nigerians have confidence in the Police to place them on the driving seat of the country’s anti-graft war?

Indeed, we are very unserious people. The surest way forward is to sack the entire leadership of the Commission, send back the Police to the barracks; remove all the Directors of the Commission, probe the present leadership of the EFCC and of course, prosecute Lamorde and his crook allies to serve as a deterrent on others.

Now that change has come, we must revisit all the high profile cases sabotaged and abandoned by the present EFCC leadership.

Nigerians must also initiate a system of monitoring and checkmating the activities of the country’s anti-graft agencies. The laws establishing them make them watchers, while no one is watching the watchers.

Thank God for the latest project of the Media Initiative against injustice, Violence and corruption-MIIVOC, tagged “Holding anti-corruption agencies accountable”-- HACAA.

Meanwhile, are Nigerians aware that the Code of Conduct Tribunal has not sat for about three years now? Is it that the Code of Conduct Bureau has not filed any cases before the Tribunal? What have they been doing with their budgets or are there no cases of breach of public trust in Nigeria?

Stay tuned, for other atrocities of the EFCC and other Anti-corruption agencies in Nigeria!
