In response to widespread speculations of an impending fuel crisis in Akwa Ibom State starting Sunday, December 1, the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has dismissed the claims as baseless and unfounded.

Addressing the issue through a public notice issued on Friday, November 29, 2024, the National Ex-officio of IPMAN, Michael Udofia, reassured residents of the state of the association’s commitment to ensuring uninterrupted fuel supply. 

He emphasized that IPMAN is not aware of any planned disruption in the supply chain or activities that could result in fuel scarcity.

“Our attention has been drawn to reports suggesting a potential fuel crisis in Akwa Ibom State. As a responsible stakeholder and National Ex-officio of IPMAN, I wish to clarify that IPMAN is not aware of any such plans or actions that could lead to a disruption in fuel supply,” Udofia stated in the public notice.

He further hinted that petroleum marketers in the state remain dedicated to serving the public and called on residents to disregard any unverified information about a looming crisis.

Udofia however, urged calm among all and sundry while reaffirming IPMAN’s commitment to meeting the energy needs of Akwa Ibom residents.

"We encourage the public to disregard any unverified information and remain calm as we continue to prioritize their needs," he concluded.

In a condolence message signed by the newly sworn-in Chairman, Arc. Edidiong Ukpong, Ph.D., MNIA; Secretary, Arc Imaisong Ekpo Etim MNIA; and Public Relations Officer, Arc.

Indeed, Your Excellency, the demise of the First Lady has left a void that words cannot fill, and the entire state mourns with you in this moment of great grief.”

Recalling her legacy, the Institute praised her selflessness and impact through her pet project, the Golden Initiative for All (GIFA), which brought hope and succor to the less privileged.

The architects also urged the Governor to take solace in the words of John 11:25, which states: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die.”

They concluded by offering prayers for divine strength and comfort for the Governor and his family, stating: “Our prayers and thoughts are with you and the entire First Family. May the Almighty grant you the fortitude to bear this immense loss, Your Excellency.”

A'IBOM MINISTRY OF EDUCATION TO INVESTIGATE BOARDING FACILITIES IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS

Following the very disturbing video showing students being fed unpalatable and innutricious meals at Presbyterian Senior Science College, Ididep, Ibiono Ibom Local Government Area, I paid an unscheduled visit to the school. I have directed a comprehensive investigation into the state of boarding facilities in the school and the other 25 boarding secondary schools across the state.

This review, which will focus on hostels, dining halls, recreation areas, menus, kitchens, and sanitary facilities, will be jointly overseen by the Permanent Secretaries of the Ministry of Education and the State Secondary Education Board. Consequently, I have also directed the immediate suspension of the Principal of the school, Dr. Nse Sunday Umoh, pending the outcome of the investigation.

Despite the fact that the free education policy of the state government covers tuition fees only and not boarding fees, the welfare and dignity of all students, especially those in public schools, remain a priority of the Umo Eno-led administration. We appeal to parents who have already been greatly relieved of the burden of tuition fees to fulfill basic parental responsibilities by supporting their children in secondary schools.

The Ministry is committed to ensuring that all public school facilities meet irreducible minimum standards that uphold the well-being of both learners and staff.

We urge the public to remain patient while this investigation lasts. The Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, remains unwavering in his commitment to education, as outlined in the ARISE Agenda.

Signed:

Mrs. Idongesit Etiebet

REVEALED! How BCS Is Secretly Investing In Humans, Sets Stage for Universal Celebration of Leader Obu

 By Ndifreke Usen

Brotherhood of the Cross and Star (BCS) has reiterated its commitment to humanitarian efforts as it unveiled plans for the 2024 Universal Celebration of the Divine Manifestation of its leader, His Holiness Olumba Olumba Obu. 

This was made known during a press briefing held at the BCS Cathedral on Abak Road, Uyo, on Saturday, and addressed by the BCS Spokesman, PCS Amah Williams.

Speaking at the event, Williams enumerated the numerous charitable undertakings of the Brotherhood of the cross and star under the leadership of His Holiness Olumba Olumba Obu. These include the establishment of the Mother Elizabeth Redeemed Home, a state-of-the-art orphanage with a capacity for 400 children, described as "the largest purpose-built orphanage in Nigeria." The facility, he noted, stands as "a quintessence of care and a symbol of hope for vulnerable children."

In the area of education, the spokesman revealed that BCS has established several primary and secondary schools, ensuring affordable fees to provide quality education to the less privileged. Over 200 undergraduates are currently benefitting from scholarships funded by the organization, while countless others have been sponsored for studies in Europe, Russia, South Africa, and the United States. Plans for a BCS University, designed to provide top-tier education at affordable rates, are also underway.

"His Holiness Olumba Olumba Obu exemplifies love and charity, urging all to bear one another's burdens and practice blameless love," Williams stated. He added that the leader's contributions extend to community development, moral support, and financial assistance to institutions such as the Nigerian Police and civil society organizations.

The Spokesman also used the event to announce the week-long activities lined up for the celebration, which begins on Monday, November 18, 2024, at the BCS World Headquarters in Calabar, Cross River State. Events will include the commissioning of a cathedral at Ikot Ekitat, Nsit Ubium LGA, super morning prayers, the Feast of the Lamb, global evangelism, free medical services, and a thanksgiving service.

According to him, the main celebration on Wednesday, November 20, will feature charity works such as an open kitchen offering free meals and other outreach programs. Highlighting the event’s spiritual significance, Williams described it as a commemoration of the "physical manifestation of the King of kings and Lord of lords," linking it to biblical prophecies and divine revelations.

While addressing recent controversies involving the Brotherhood, Williams clarified issues surrounding a court dispute with members of the New Kingdom Ministry over a property at No 2 Nsikak Eduok Avenue, Uyo. He noted that the Akwa Ibom State High Court ruled in favour of BCS, affirming its ownership of the property and dismissing the case against it.

Williams emphasized that such distractions have no bearing on the commitment of the BCS to spreading the message of love and peace, urging the public to focus on the organization’s efforts to foster unity and development.

"We invite the world to celebrate the Divine Manifestation of the One whom Daniel called the Son of Man, the One Isaiah described as the Mighty God and Prince of Peace. This event is not just a celebration but a call to embrace humility, love, and divine teachings," he concluded.

The activities, themed "Unshakeable King of Glory, Unshakeable Kingdom," will culminate on Sunday, November 24, 2024, with a grand thanksgiving service, bringing together faithful and well-wishers from across the globe.

[Sponsored] COMMUNIQUÉ OF THE 3RD AGRIBUSINESS ROUNDTABLE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

The 3rd Agribusiness Roundtable International Conference held in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, concluded with a strong call for collaboration, innovation, and sustainable practices to drive the future of agriculture in Nigeria and beyond. 

Key Highlights:

• Focus on Sustainability and Resilience: The conference highlighted the urgent need to adapt to climate change, resource scarcity, and evolving consumer demands. Participants emphasized the importance of sustainable farming practices, climate-smart agriculture, and building resilient food systems.

• Harnessing Technology for Growth: Agritech innovations took center stage, with discussions focused on leveraging technology for improved productivity, efficiency, and access to markets. The conference recognized the transformative potential of data analytics, precision agriculture, and digital platforms in driving agricultural growth.

• Investing in the Future: There was a strong emphasis on the need for increased investment in research, development, and deployment of agritech solutions. Participants acknowledged the critical role of public and private investment in fostering innovation and advancing sustainable practices.

• Building Inclusive and Resilient Value Chains: Participants stressed the importance of building equitable and inclusive value chains that empower farmers, create jobs, and promote economic growth in rural communities. 

• Collaborative Partnerships: The conference highlighted the importance of collaboration and partnerships between governments, businesses, farmers, and researchers. Participants emphasized the need for a coordinated approach to tackling challenges and driving sustainable development in the agricultural sector.

KEY RESOLUTIONS:

PARADIGM SHIFT   

There is a need for a paradigm shift and reorientation of operators in the agribusiness space. Farmers are urged to join Cooperatives and Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture, rather than venture as lone rangers. Gender and youth inclusion should be encouraged, promoted and incentivized.

There is a need to streamline agriculture into mainstream business circles and regard it as such for it to thrive, rather than as a subsistence venture. Subsidies to agriculture should be at the front burner in national discourse given its importance, and its potential to uplift farmers – and by extension the general populace - from peasant level to the economic upper class. 

A more specialized funding vehicle or strategy needs to be incepted by, for instance, adequately capitalizing the Bank of Agriculture to lend more funds to practicing farmers. 

ADAPTABILITY: 

The future of agribusiness and the sustainability of agricultural production hinge on adaptation to certain factors such as environmental, notably climate change, the mitigation of which has to be taken more seriously by all government agencies concerned as well as individual farmers themselves.

STATUTORY FACTORS:

Other key factors impeding enhanced agribusiness sustainability are policy inconsistency, multiple taxation and other statutory requirements. There are myriad of codes, standards, legislation and other constraints which vary from country to country. The conference advocates a unified body to enlighten and assist farmers to overcome these hurdles.

PROTECTION OF SELLERS AND CONSUMERS: 

It is noteworthy that government has done a lot in the area of consumer protection, in terms of laws to abolish market unions which constituted themselves into negative protectionist cabals. However, a lot more needs to be done to enforce those laws.

ACCESS TO INPUTS AND FINANCE:

A major constraint to large scale production and processing of agricultural commodities is the bottle neck often encountered by farmers in the quest for funding. The conference is aware of the existence of a number of development banks funding agriculture and allied ventures. However, there is need to simplify the process of accessing these funds and render them more farmer friendly.  Inputs such as improve seedlings, fertilizers, equipments and others should be a matter of priority to the Federal, States and Local Governments 

ACCESS TO MARKET: 

The multifarious international concessions and agreements such as AGOA and AfCFTA designed to enable local agricultural producers and exporters gain access to the USA, Europe and other international markets are commendable organs which unfortunately have not been fully exploited to the benefit of stakeholders. For instance, AGOA has been minimally utilized by agribusiness entrepreneurs in Nigeria. Incidentally, AGOA is expiring in one year’s time. i.e. October 2025. Conference participants called for robust diplomatic advocacy to renew it.

CURRENT REALITIES: 

In the light of current realities, globally, some of the foremost challenges farmers face in a bid to enhance their production are; information, documentation, standardization and technology, or rather, the paucity of these. 

ADAPTABILITY: 

The future of agribusiness and the sustainability of agricultural production hinge on adaptation to certain factors such as environmental, notably climate change, the mitigation of which has to be taken more seriously by all government agencies concerned as well as individual farmers themselves.

Promote Sustainable Agriculture: Participants committed to advocating for and implementing sustainable agricultural practices that prioritize environmental protection, resource conservation, and biodiversity.

Drive Agricultural Technology Innovation: The conference encouraged investment in and adoption of tech solutions to improve productivity, efficiency, and sustainability in the agricultural sector.

Foster Inclusive Growth: Participants recognized the need to ensure inclusive agricultural development that empowers small-scale farmers, women, and youth.

Strengthen Partnerships: Attendees committed to fostering collaborative partnerships between all stakeholders in the agricultural ecosystem to achieve shared goals for sustainable development.

Promote Policy and Regulatory Frameworks: The conference highlighted the need for supportive government policies, regulatory frameworks, and financial incentives to encourage investment in and growth of the agricultural sector.

MOVING FORWARD:

The Agribusiness Roundtable International Conference served as a vital platform for exchanging ideas, forging partnerships, and inspiring action. Participants left the conference empowered and committed to working together to transform the agricultural landscape in Nigeria and beyond. The organizers are confident that the insights, collaborations, and initiatives sparked by this event will drive lasting change and contribute to a more sustainable and prosperous future for the agricultural sector.
