Today, I join the heavenly immortals and thousands of mortal beings to say congratulations to you on your passing out of the Nigeria Police Academy, Kano, and your consequent commissioning into the Nigeria Police Force as an Assistant Supritendent of Police (ASP) on December 19, 2019. This is indeed a fruit of determination, perseverance and hardwork.

I can vividly remember back then in the village when, anytime I was around and I would discuss with you as a younger brother the need to proceed in your academics by probably grabbing the available inasmuch as the preferred was apparently unavailable (settling for any institution, course), but your reply was succinct: ‘bros, law ke emu kin be mene ye University yo’ : Meaning: Bros, I want to go and study law in the university. My discussion with you was not ones, twice but the same unshaken and unchanging reply you gave in different occasions and locations of the discourse. Then it done on me that you were hell-bent, determined in achieving your goal.

Today, you did not just achieve your set goal, you achieved it in a unique and unusual way being a graduate of law from the foremost and prestigious Police Academy, Kano. Many you started with but could not scale through to this final stage. Some were snatched away by the code hands of death; some couldn’t cope with the academics demand hence were advised to withdraw; some couldn’t cope with the practical drilling, early morning and evening parade and shouting, so they probably quietly withdraw, but here you are celebrating and being celebrated. My brother you don’t need to tell me or remind me that the way to this your present position was rough, it is what I know. In fact, rough is an understatement. If there is any word worst than rough, I would have prefer using it. I don’t just want to remember or remind you of such; it is time and season of celebration, that is the garment I’ve put on.

David Iyenkenimi Ajousi, if I, after missing your glorious and colourful passing out and commissing into the Nigeria Police Force due to my tight schedule, fail to do this inorder to celebrate you before the whole universe, I will be ever indebted to you and be most ingrate to the Almighty God for seeing a brother through the hurdles of six years. This is why despite my tight schedule of brain racking (writing and reading), I have to spare time for this.

This your starting point is remarkable. This is level your father, Opinkeme Ajousi was before we lost him to the code hand of death in 1996. I was in the village and I remember how his corpse was celebrated by the Nigeria Police Force. He was such an outstanding and gallant officer! He was celebrated in death but here you are being celebrated alive. I am celebrating you as a living being, you will not die at unripe age Dav, as I rightly call you.

ASP David Iyenkenimi Ajousi, being commissioned into the Nigeria Police Force on December 19, 2019

Any ugly hand or hands that may want to rise against you either as a result of this new feat or whatsoever, are consigned to condemnation! Any tongue that may wants to pronounce evil or any incarnation is condemned! Monitoring spirit either from your father’s or mother’s side, I rebuke and cast into the bottomless pit! The unexplainable joy I have is that, you are in Christ; you know Christ so no cause for alarm.

ASP David Iyenkenimi Ajousi, being commissioned into the Nigeria Police Force on December 19, 2019

When it is time for your promotion no man born of woman will stop you. Your promotion shall not be delayed. You will get to the apex of your career as soon as possible. No one will deny you what rightly belongs to you.

David, I am proud of you; we are proud of you. Furupagha otu are proud of you! Ekeremor otu are rejoicing over you! Bayelsa otu are proud of you. The entire Ijaw nation is proud of you and appreciating God on your behalf! I have the belief that as we are rejoicing because of you, even in heaven there is joy.

Please permit me to halt my pen here and attend to other articles craving for my attention.

Congratulations ASP, David Iyenkenimi Ajousi

Once again, congratulations as you pass out from the Nigeria Police academy, Kano and being commissioned into the Force as ASP.

A Bauchi based Non Governmental Organisation known as Al-Muhibah Foundation, has conducted a three-day training for 50 women farmers on fonio farming in the state.

The founder of the foundation, Hajiya Aisha Mohammed who is also the wife of Gov. Bala Mohammed, stated this at the end of the training for the women on Sunday.

According to her, the project was funded by the Islamic Development Bank (ISDB) and aimed at empowering women in the area of farming fonio locally called acher.

She explained that 25 women were selected from Alkaleri and 25 from Tafawa Balewa local government areas of the state respectively.

She said the decision to settle for fonio acher farming training was as a result of its nutritional value, adding that Bauchi state was among the states facing malnutrition problems due to the lack of adequate nutrition diet for children.

“It is on this basis that looking at the nutritional value of Acha fonio, are the opportunities in helping to reduce the cases of or curb severe malnutrition.

“We also key into the Islamic Development Bank policy to learn how to empower women through interventions that improve health, food security, economic opportunities, education, access to technology which would enhance women’s financial literacy and business skills.

“Today, the 50 women farmers have received farming tools, insecticide, fertilisers, farmland, seedlings, capacity building training as well as 20 water pumping machines to each of the two LGAs,” she said.

The governor’s wife further explained that the project was to also ensure that the productivity, sustainability and profitability of the Fonio-Acha value chains were sustained, developed and expanded in the two benefiting LGAs by empowering women groups in the local production of the crop.

Earlier, the Finance and Administration Officer of the Foundation, Mr Stephen Goyit, explained that ISDB sponsored 70 per cent and Al-Muhibah Foundation sponsored 30 per cent of the project.

He said based on the project design, the 40 water pumping machines and accessories were distributed to the women farmers in a cluster for easy monitoring.

Goyit added that a total sum of N30,000 was given to each of the beneficiaries for feeding and transportation allowances.

One of the beneficiaries, Mrs Grace Yohana who expressed happiness to have received the training, appreciated Al-Muhibah Foundation for the ‘kind gesture’.

I’m very happy about this intervention. They gave us N30,000, we learned many things about fonio farming and the state Ministry of Agriculture has also promised to give each of us one bag of fertilizer,” she said.

Company To Pay Nigeria £20m In Compensation Over Judgement Debt Suit

Published

By

A Court in the United Kingdom has ordered Process & Industrial Developments (P&ID) Limited to pay Nigeria £20 million in damages and compensation following its victory in a $11 billion judgment debt heard in October, 2023.

The court ordered that the money be given to Nigeria within the next 28 days.

The award of £20 million in damages was revealed during a subsequent ruling on the subject in London to determine what happened after the October ruling.

Reports said the hearing was also held to determine whether P&ID would be granted permission to appeal the decision, however, the court denied P&ID’s request to remand the case to arbitration.

It contended that the company’s conduct during the process was heinous, thus the judgment.

Nigeria had sued P&ID for at least £20 million in damages and legal fees but obtained significant relief in October when the UK court released it from entanglement in the $11 billion judgment debt previously issued in favour of P&ID Limited.

In the lawsuit between the Federal Government of Nigeria and P&ID, Justice Robin Knowles of the Commercial Courts of England and Wales affirmed Nigeria’s claim that the gas processing contract was obtained by fraud.

In the judgment delivered after five years of legal battle, Judge Knowles said: “In the circumstances and the reasons I have sought to describe and explain, Nigeria succeeds on its challenge under section 68. I have not accepted all of Nigeria’s allegations. But the awards were obtained by fraud and the way they were procured was contrary to public policy.”

Recall that P&ID was contracted by Nigeria in 2010 to build a gas processing plant in Calabar, Cross River State, in the country’s south but the deal fell through because the Nigerian government did not keep its half of the bargain.
