The Minister of State for Works and Housing, Alhaji Abubakar Aliyu, has urged the contractor handling the Kaduna Eastern by-pass to speed up work to complete the project in good time.

Aliyu, made the call on Thursday when  inspected  the project at East by-pass in Kaduna.

The minister said that the contractor handling the Kaduna Eastern by-pass, a section of the Abuja -Kano expressway, did not have any excuse not to finish the work in good time.

He noted that although, the contractor had been facing challenges, the ministry was cooperating to ensure the bottlenecks were overcome.

According to him, the project was awarded for N16 billion  but was abandoned in 2002 due to lack of funding.

“When this government came on board, it reviewed the project and it was re-awarded in 2017 and gave it a completion period which is 2021.

” The contractor will not have any reason not to perform because we are funding the project from Sukuk fund.

“The Sukuk which is a bond we have with Islamic Development Bank will ensure there is continuous flow of funding to the project,” he said.

“International Travel to Resume Shortly” – Sani Aliyu

Aliyu noted the need to sit with the contractor to discuss his challenges to find a way to overcome them.

He explained that being part of the decision taken with the senior Minister, Babatunde Fashola, he was to embark on a high level of supervision of all their projects.

On his part, Ja’afaru Baba, the Contractor handling the project with the Eksiogulleri constructions, thanked the minister for the visit and reiterated their commitment to completing the project at the specified duration.

AFCSC describes maritime environment as key to nation’s security, economic devt



By Sani Idris

 AVM Abubakar Liman, Commandant, Armed Forces Command and Staff College (AFCSC),  says the maritime domain remained critical to Nigeria’s economic development and security.

Liman said this at a seminar organised by the department of maritime warfare, for senior course 43, tagged ‘Law of the Sea’, at Jaji, on Tuesday, in Kaduna, and with the theme: “Combating Threats in Nigeria’s Maritime Environment through Effective Legal Framework’’.

The commandant, who was represented by the AFCSC Deputy Commandant, Rear-Adm. Monday Kohwo-Unurhiere, noted that protection of the maritime domain was paramount, and thus the need for the officers to be knowledgeable about the legal framework guiding  operations in the nation’s maritime environment.

“With this at the back of our minds, I make bold to say that this gathering is an opportunity to deliberate and suggest effective legal frameworks that can enhance ongoing efforts at combating threats in Nigeria’s maritime environment,’’ he said.

According to him, the outcome of the seminar will broaden the knowledge of officers and enable them contribute to national efforts at curbing illegalities in the maritime environment.

He urged the officers to leverage on the opportunity to advance their knowledge on legal framework guiding effective operation in the maritime environment.

Earlier, in his address of welcome, Commodore Saheed Adeshina, AFCSC Director of Maritime Warfare, said the maritime environment remained the country’s economic centre of gravity, stressing that the protection of the nation’s maritime space, from all forms of threats, was, therefore, of paramount concern to the Navy.

“The seminar has become an important item in the college’s calendar of events, as a veritable forum for capacity development on maritime law enforcement in Nigeria’s maritime environment,’’ he said.

He also said the seminar was also relevant, within the context of the Africa ‘Continental Free Trade Agreement’ (AfCFTA), which came into force on Jan.1, adding that as the AfCFTA boosts the volume of trade across the continent, it was likely to cause an increase in shipping traffic.

“Maritime law enforcement constitutes a critical component of Nigeria navy’s trinity of action for the protection of maritime environment from criminal infractions.

“A robust legal framework is thus needed, toward ensuring that illegal acts are criminalised and sanctioned appropriately.

“Achieving a safe and secured maritime environment will  no doubt contribute to improving national security and sustainable exploration of the resources in the sector,” Adeshina said. (NAN)

NDE flags off apprenticeship scheme for 460 trainees in Kaduna


By Aisha Gambo


 The National Directorate of Employment (NDE) on Thursday flagged off the Basic National Open Apprenticeship Scheme for 460 trainees in the 23 Local Government Areas of Kaduna State.



Mr Sani Maiwada, the state coordinator, said 20 people were selected from each local government and would learn various skill for three months.



“We are here for the orientation of 460 trainees who would learn skills like tailoring, carpentry, hair dressing, GSM repairs and catering, among others.



“The trainees are lucky to be selected to acquire skills, therefore, they should be serious, hardworking and persevere throughout the training”, he said.



Maiwada said that the training was free and it was important for a trainee to get 75 per cent attendance before he or she would enjoy any benefit that comes after the training.



He said that some participants would be trained in the three training centres of the states located at Zaria, Kafanchan and Kaduna, while others would be trained in the informal centres of LGAs.


According to him, participants will be given stipends, hence the need to  take their training seriously so that they can be self reliant and be employees of labour.


Earlier, the Acting Director General, Mr Abubakar Nuhu- Fikpo, who was represented by Mr Shittu Muhammad, said he was impressed with the activities carried out in the state, urging the trainees to be obedient to their trainers so as to learn effectively.


He said that they should also maintain the tools and equipment used in the learning process.


One of the beneficiaries, Muhammad Ya’u, on behalf of the trainees, commended the NDE for the programme and urged his fellow participants to be disciplined. (NAN)
