Your Excellency May Recall That You Wrote Series of Memos to President Your Excellency may recall that you wrote series of Memos to President Muhammadu Buhari as the leader of the Country and our great Party, the All Progressive Congress (APC) which was leaked to the Public of very recent, in those Memos, you expressed your concerns in the handling of affairs of the Nation by the Buhari led Administration. Your message was received with mixed reactions by Nigerians, some called that action an uncommon courage by you, in the same light, some of us have been worried about the way our State has been handled since you assumed office and it is said that “Charity begins at Home”, most of the concerns raised in your Memo are actually the very same concerns that some if not most Stake-holders in Kaduna has over your leadership. While I would not write a long Memo like yours but permit me to raise few of those concerns here. We are approaching the Mid-term of your Administration as the Executive Governor of APC Controlled Government of Kaduna State. The Party is Docile in its statutory duties and activities as a Political Party, No Executive Committee and Stakeholders Meetings from the Ward to State Levels is virtually non-existent since you took control of the State. Most Stakeholders and members are feeling Used and Dumped and Lack of consultations in decision-making processes as it affects the Party at the Local, State and National Levels. The Party at the State Levels needs to be properly constituted, and Vacancies filled as Urgent, including the Kaduna state vacant seat of the National officer in the APC NWC through Special Congresses before the National Conventions. Your Excellency as the Governor and the Leader of the Party in Kaduna State, there is the Urgent need to facilitate and put in place a reconciliatory process to bring back all aggrieved members under one Structure as we prepare into the fort coming Local Government Elections in the State to avoid any un-pleasant Consequence in many Local Governments. We need an emergency Stakeholders/Caucus meeting to advise all to bury the hatchet in the interest of our Great Party and to pursue the drive vigorously in membership and the Propagation of the Policies and the Objectives of the Programmes of the APC Government in the State FACES OF EL-RUFAI'S CABAL: THE POWERFUL ONE MAN LOCAL CABAL IN THE GOVT HOUSE KADUNA, THE NEGOTIATOR AND EXECUTOR OF ALL GOVT PROJECTS AND PROGRAMMES Jimi Lawal, Is the Powerful Advisor on Investment, Promotion, "Adviser Extra-Ordinary and Plenipotentiary, and De factor Vice Governor" to Governor Mallam Nasir Ahmed EL-Rufai of Kaduna State. Your Excellency in your memo to the President, you claimed that the Chief of Staff was not part of the APC formation, campaign or elections, one wonders if your powerful Special Advisor, Mr. Jimi Lawal played any role during the APC formation and subsequently, if yes at what capacity or disposition, yet he is at the Government House in Kaduna State, no decision, policy or their implementation is ever taken without his approval or blessings, and were he to be part of Kaduna APC Chapter, perhaps there would not have been the feeling of neglect by the APC Family in Kaduna State as whole. Mr. Jimi Lawal, a former Managing Director of the failed Alpha Merchant Bank who was convicted in Absentia in Nigeria for Criminal Acts of the Distress Alpha Merchant, abandoned thousands of devastated Investors while he ran into exile. Today he is the one calling the shots in the APC-controlled government of Kaduna as a friend of EL- Rufai. The Fear of Jimi Lawal is the beginning of wisdom in Kaduna State APC administration, he is alleged to be the most powerful official and the closest to the Governor and most feared, with his hands into all aspects of governance from procurement negotiations to projects executions, without following the the provisions of the Procurement Act and due process. APC Stakeholders in the State with Dossiers on JIMI, in the National and State Interest are appealing to their Governor Mallam Nasir EL-Rufai to Start the reform of re-positioning his Government by first disengaging the services of the questionable and convicted, Jimi Lawal as a Political appointee in Service of Kaduna State Government in the Interest of the War against Corruption, Impunity, and abuse of office. Uba Sani is another high ranking member of your cabal, a close friend of yours who currently serves as your Special Adviser on Political Affairs and Inter-Governmental Affairs. He was a late entrant into the APC in 2015. We advise the Governor to seek another and experienced foundation APC Member and a politician as your Special Adviser on Political Affairs. Uba Sani as your personal friend and associate, can best serve you as your Special Adviser for Special Duties in (charge of Inter-Governmental Affairs and Protocol), he has proved to be resourceful in handling your runs between MDAs in Abuja, Lagos, and Kaduna, this will be in the overall interest of your APC Administration. Ahmed Tijjani Ramalan Chairman, APC Caucus Kaduna State .

  • Death and the Textile Industry in Nigeria
    Death and the Textile Industry in Nigeria Elisha P. Renne First published in 2021 ISBN: 978-0-367-46552-0 (hbk) ISBN: 978-1-003-05813-7 (ebk) Conclusion Death, deindustrialization, and time (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) This OA chapter is funded by Elisha P. Renne. Conclusion Death, deindustrialization, and time “We felt that society was dragging anchor and in danger of going adrift. Whether it would drift nobody could say, but all feared the rocks.” Edward Bellamy, Looking Backward, 2000–1887 This volume focuses on the consequences of deindustrialization on the lives of former factory workers at the Kaduna Textile Ltd (KTL) mill in the Kakuri area of Kaduna and the “work of the dead” in ameliorating these changes. As such it addresses the question, “How is deindustrialization experienced dif- ferently by people in varied places, times, and circumstances?” (Cowie and Heathcott 2003: 5). As many of the workers at KTL came from rural towns and villages to the south of the city of Kaduna, their experience reflects many changes: from rural to urban living, from agricultural to industrial labor, and to new conceptions of time and work. Their experience has been complicated by the failure of the government to pay negotiated remittances owed to KTL workers following the company’s closure, which was not the case for most other Kaduna textile mills. Consequently, KTL workers, as members of the National Union of Textile Garment and Tailoring Workers of Nigeria, sought to pressure the company to release these funds in order to ease the difficulties of finding alternative sources of income and of paying for food and health care as well as supporting their families.

  • The Jonathan Presidency, by Abati, the Guardian, Dec. 17
    The Jonathan Presidency By Reuben Abati Published by The Jonathan Presidency The Jonathan Presidency By Reuben Abati A review of the Goodluck Jonathan Presidency in Nigeria should provide significant insight into both his story and the larger Nigerian narrative. We consider this to be a necessary exercise as the country prepares for the next general elections and the Jonathan Presidency faces the certain fate of becoming lame-duck earlier than anticipated. The general impression about President Jonathan among Nigerians is that he is as his name suggests, a product of sheer luck. They say this because here is a President whose story as a politician began in 1998, and who within the space of ten years appears to have made the fastest stride from zero to “stardom” in Nigerian political history. Jonathan himself has had cause to declare that he is from a relatively unknown village called Otuoke in Bayelsa state; he claims he did not have shoes to wear to school, one of those children who ate rice only at Xmas. When his father died in February 2008, it was probably the first time that Otuoke would play host to the kind of quality crowd that showed up in the community. The beauty of the Jonathan story is to be found in its inspirational value, namely that the Nigerian dream could still take on the shape of phenomenal and transformational social mobility in spite of all the inequities in the land. With Jonathan’s emergence as the occupier of the highest office in the land, many Nigerians who had ordinarily given up on the country and the future felt imbued with renewed energy and hope.

    COVERAGE OF CORRUPTION SCANDALS IN THE NIGERIAN PRESS: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN NEWSPAPERS BY MUHAMMAD JAMEEL YUSHA'U (050211416) A THESIS FORUM DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY SUBMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF JOURNALISM STUDIES UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD UNITED KINGDOM % DECEMBER, 2009 ABSTRACT This research is about the coverage of corruption scandals in the Nigerian press. It is a comparative study that develops an intra-national framework for the study of the Nigerian media system using corruption scandals.The scandalsstudied are the Petroleum Technology DevelopmentFund (PTDF) scandaland the Former Governors Scandal. The study used both interviews and qualitative content analysis by meansof critical discourseanalysis. The results of the study suggest that the press in Nigeria is regionally and ethnically divided. These factors influence the way the pressreport issuesincluding corruption scandals.The study also suggeststhat factors like clientelism, regionalism, corruption within the press, and lack of training are among the challenges faced by the Nigerian press. It is the position of this study that the press in Nigeria is active in reporting stories about corruption scandals,but has not done enough when it comes to the application of such aspects of journalistic practice like investigative journalism which contributes in the watchdog role of the media. The study concludesby suggestingareas for further research. 2 DEDICATION This thesis is dedicatedto my parents: Malam Yusha'u Yusuf Abdurra'uf & Hajiya Sa'adatu AnasYusha'u And my beloved wife Hauwa Sarkina Shehu Daughter Asma Thank you all for your genuine love and support 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am grateful to Almighty Allah for giving me the opportunity to see the conclusion of this work.
