FURTHER A WARE that until this competition, the performance of the Super Eagles had been grossly dissatisfactory to the generality of Nigerians, while Nigerian football had nosedived abysmally; NOTES with pleasure, the splendid performance of the Super Eagles of Nigeria and Nigeria's emergence as champion of Africa at the 2013Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON)tournament in South Africa; ALSO NOTES with delight the tenacity of spirit, patriotic zeal as well as unity and team spirit displayed by players, coach, and the entire team management; OBSERVES with keen interest and satisfaction the contributions of the home-based Super Eagles to the overall success of the team; MINDFUL of the unifying power of football in Nigeria and the role of football in profiling the nation's international image; NEVERTHELESS mindful of the degeneration of grassroots football, poor standard of our local leagues, and the many challenges facing the nation's football and sports development in general Accordingly resolves to: i. COMMEND and congratulate the Super Eagles for winning the trophy and making the nation proud; H. OBSERVE a standing ovation in honour of the new kings of African football; iii. CONGRATULATE, and PASS a vote of confidence on Coach Stephen Keshi and our local coaches; IV COMMEND and congratulate President Goodluck Jonathan for this achievement and for motivating the team; v.

Hassan THE SENATE RECALLS its Resolution that new sources of revenue be developed for the states and Federal Government; NOTES that Nigeria's solid minerals survey indicates the presence of over 32 strategic minerals deposits in commercial quantities spread in all the states of the Federation (see list attached). For example, in Nigeria today, there are 22 coal deposits spread across 13 States with proven reserve of 639 million tonnes and inferred reserve of 2,750 million tonnes. Coal used to be the source of energy requirement for the industrial sector and can generate up to 7,000magawatts of electricity for the Nation. This is the benefit of one natural resources; A WARE-that the Ministry of Solid Minerals is undertaking to develop one solid mineral in each Local Government Area of the Federation in order to develop cottage industries based on the Solid Mineral Resources in the Local Government Areas. NOTES that the exploration and extraction of solid minerals resources will generate revenue to the states and provide jobs. WORRIED-that overdependence on oil resources in the country has created great want, widespread poverty, unemployment, social decay, infrastructural distortions and general insecurity in many parts of this country. WORRIED also that the oil reserves in Nigeria may not last more than 40 years. FURTHER-notes that the diversification of government revenue away from oil is a key focus and that solid minerals sector has the potential to playa major role in providing substantial revenue to government and generally grow the economy. WORRIED however, that the solid minerals sector is inadequately funded. For example, capital budgetary allocations for the 2011, 2012, and proposed for 2013 are: N2.9b. N3.2b and N1b respectively. These provisions are highly inadequate. UNHAPPY that the solid minerals sector is not generating revenue to the government resulting in non- attraction of investors coupled with the menace of illegal mining. FURTHER observes that there is an absence of Solid Minerals Development Fund as provided under Nigeria Minerals and Mining Act, 2007,which stipulates special fund for developing the sector. FURTHER observes that the Natural Resources fund which is 1.68% of the Federation account which is supposed to fund the solid minerals sector has never been used to fund the sector. It is reported that this year over 250billion of the funds have been withdrawn and utilised elsewhere. AGGRIEVED that the Solid Mineral Sector has not benefited from the Natural Resources Fund and that the Fund accrued into it is being utilised in secrecy; NOTES-that the 13% derivation formula as provided by the constitution has never applied to the solid minerals sector. Accordingly resolved to: (i). MANDATE the Committee on Solid Minerals to: a) EMBARK on holistic assessment of solid minerals development in Nigeria. b) INVESTIGATE in collaboration with Public Account Committee the Natural Resources Development Fund since its inception. PRINTED BY NATIONAL ASSEMBLY PRESS, ABUJA 202 ~ Tuesday, 12th February 2013~. 111 l ... t (ii). URGE the President to see to the immediate implementationdf 13% derivation formula to solid mineral producing states as it applies to Oil sector.

The period between 2004 and 2006 has recorded a ruinous prebendal political conflict in the South-Eastern geo-political zone of Nigeria. The conflict, which involved an erstwhile Governor of Anambra State, Dr. Chris Ngige and a political chieftain in the state, Chief Chris Uba, occurred with attendant violence. However, empirical studies on the role played by the press in this type of conflict situation are faint in political communication literature. This study therefore was conducted to investigate how selected newspapers reported the Ngige and Uba prebendal political conflict in South-Eastern Nigeria between 2004 and 2006. Four Nigerian national newspapers were chosen for the study, namely: Daily Champion, Daily Trust, Nigerian Tribune and The Guardian. Purposive sampling was used to select 84 journalistic genres out of 72 editions of the newspapers.

  • An Analysis of What Works and What Doesn't
    Radicalisation and Deradicalisation in Nigeria: An Analysis of What Works and What Doesn’t Nasir Abubakar Daniya i Radicalisation and Deradicalisation in Nigeria: An Analysis of What Works and What Doesn’t. Nasir Abubakar Daniya Student Number: 13052246 A Thesis Submitted in Fulfilment of Requirements for award of: Professional Doctorate Degree in Policing Security and Community Safety London Metropolitan University Faculty of Social Science and Humanities March 2021 Thesis word count: 104, 482 ii Abstract Since Nigeria’s independence from Britain in 1960, the country has made some progress while also facing some significant socio-economic challenges. Despite being one of the largest producers of oil in the world, in 2018 and 2019, the Brooking Institution and World Poverty Clock respectively ranked Nigeria amongst top three countries with extreme poverty in the World. Muslims from the north and Christians from the south dominate the country; each part has its peculiar problem. There have been series of agitations by the militants from the south to break the country due to unfair treatments by the Nigerian government. They produced multiple violent groups that killed people and destroyed properties and oil facilities. In the North, an insurgent group called Boko Haram emerges in 2009; they advocated for the establishment of an Islamic state that started with warning that, western education is prohibited. Reports say the group caused death of around 100,000 and displaced over 2 million people. As such, Niger Delta Militancy and Boko Haram Insurgency have been major challenges being faced by Nigeria for about a decade. To address such challenges, the Nigerian government introduced separate counterinsurgency interventions called Presidential Amnesty Program (PAP) and Operation Safe Corridor (OSC) in 2009 and 2016 respectively, which are both aimed at curtailing Militancy and Insurgency respectively.

  • Disturbance Theory and Opposition Politics in Nigeria: an Appraisal of All Progressives Congress (Apc) Performance in the 2015 General Elections
    88 South East Journal of Political Science Vol.3 No.1, 2017 DISTURBANCE THEORY AND OPPOSITION POLITICS IN NIGERIA: AN APPRAISAL OF ALL PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS (APC) PERFORMANCE IN THE 2015 GENERAL ELECTIONS Amobi P. Chiamogu and Uchechukwu P. Chiamogu Department of Public Administration Federal Polytechnic, Oko Abstract Elections have followed a particular trend in the political history of Nigeria with the ruling party (party-in-power) rarely ever losing elections. Character of Nigerian politics had inadvertently snowballed into one party system where there is either no opposition or it is fractionalized into insignificance. This paper studies in extenso the dynamics and issues giving rise to the prevalence of opposition in the 2015 general elections wherein for the first time in the annals of elections in Nigeria, an opposition party waxed very strong and garnered great force to unseating a 'ruling party'. After a detailed literature review, it is observed that imposition of candidates, internal wrangling, factionalization and lack of internal democracy laced with docile character cum personality of the defeated president form the fulcrum for the supremacy of the All Progressives Congress (APC). The paper further opines that overt inability of the outgoing president to assert himself firmly and demonstrate greatest personal drive to handling headlong national issues like insecurity, economic depression coupled with his lackluster disposition to galvanizing and welding federal cabinet into a usual 'cult' made his house to exist in disarray. The study adopted extensive use of secondary data which were analyzed content wise along postulations of disturbance theory as put forward by David Truman. It finally submits that lack of coordinated drive to handle issues knitted in the fact that Jonathan never planned to be a political leader created great opportunities for emergent crass of opposition politicians to thrive.

  • First Election Security Threat Assessment
    SECURITY THREAT ASSESSMENT: TOWARDS 2015 ELECTIONS January – June 2013 edition With Support from the MacArthur Foundation Table of Contents I. Executive Summary II. Security Threat Assessment for North Central III. Security Threat Assessment for North East IV. Security Threat Assessment for North West V. Security Threat Assessment for South East VI. Security Threat Assessment for South South VII. Security Threat Assessment for South West Executive Summary Political Context The merger between the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), All Nigerian Peoples Party (ANPP) and other smaller parties, has provided an opportunity for opposition parties to align and challenge the dominance of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). This however will also provide the backdrop for a keenly contested election in 2015. The zoning arrangement for the presidency is also a key issue that will define the face of the 2015 elections and possible security consequences. Across the six geopolitical zones, other factors will define the elections. These include the persisting state of insecurity from the insurgency and activities of militants and vigilante groups, the high stakes of election as a result of the availability of derivation revenues, the ethnic heterogeneity that makes elite consensus more difficult to attain, as well as the difficult environmental terrain that makes policing of elections a herculean task. Preparations for the Elections The political temperature across the country is heating up in preparation for the 2015 elections. While some state governors are up for re-election, most others are serving out their second terms. The implication is that most of the states are open for grab by either of the major parties and will therefore make the electoral contest fiercer in 2015 both within the political parties and in the general election.
