The Kaduna State Honourable Commissioner for Business Innovation and Technology, Mrs. Patience Fakai, truly embodies the essence of her name. Calm yet diligent in her duties, she is dedicated to ing the istration in delivering the dividends of democracy to the people.

Recognizing that her ministry is responsible for developing business strategies to encourage the growth of enterprises and in turn generate revenue for the state, early in the year she initiated enlightenment programmes for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). She emphasises the importance of registration, enabling these enterprises to benefit from grants that their businesses.

Moreover, her ministry is responsible for the construction of three skill acquisition centres in the Zangon Kataf, Igabi, and Soba local governments, located in the three senatorial zones. The construction has reportedly reached about 75 percent completion and is closely monitored by the commissioner to ensure it meets both the deadline and quality standards.

Mrs. Fakai is also diligently working to develop the state's vast tourism potential, which has been neglected over the years. She is determined and focused on boosting the sector by exploring historical sites such as Kagoro Hills, Nok Museum, and the Queen Amina Historical Site.

Because of this, the ministry is developing a comprehensive tourism policy for the state. This policy aims to provide a robust framework that will build investor and tourist confidence in exploring the state's unique historical, cultural, and archaeological sites for both knowledge and entertainment.

Mrs. Fakai is a team player. She lends her to others for the overall success of the government, which explains her excellent working relationships with other commissioners and government officials.

She is an exceptional public officer whose performance and dedication speak hugely for her at all times. If she were to be loud like others who play at the gallery, town criers would be announcing her courtliness every day. The Honourable Commissioner for Business Innovation and Technology, Mrs. Patience Fakai, is a role model and goal-getter. She is a valuable asset in Uba Sani's government.

Dogara writes from Zangon Kataf local government

By Abubakar DanAsabe

The governor of Kaduna State, Senator Uba Sani, has etched his name in the hearts of the majority of people in the southern senatorial zone. He is seen across party lines as a fair and just leader ionate about the livelihoods of the electorate. Since he took the mantle of leadership last year, the governor has not hidden his desire to bridge the gap in infrastructure development, something the zone was denied by the last istration.

It's equally noteworthy that, unlike the Nasir El-Rufai government, the current regime has opened the floodgate for inclusiveness, accommodating all sheds of opinions, and reaching out to as many stakeholders as possible thereby winning followers in a way not easy to believe. Leaders in the zone now trust the governor and have confidence in his capacity to deliver dividends of democracy.

But are the efforts of the governor complimented by the leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the zone? What are the elected and appointed party men and women doing to sustain the landmark penetration of the zone by the governor through his disposition to the people?

The zone has a deputy governor, an accomplished medical doctor, Her Excellency Hadiza Sabuwa Balarabe, a deputy speaker, a state party chairman, a political adviser to the governor, and a host of other portfolios. Indeed, all the offices listed above are powerful positions that could be deployed to change the fortune of the party if adequately presented as a bride to the electorate who are eagerly waiting to be enticed.

But since the assumption of the current government, has there been a holistic stakeholders' meeting to listen to views about the last election? Or plot strategies for the local government election? Or plan how to woe converts and publicly receive them into the party? The kind of in-roads the governor is making needs to be ed by a robust strategy by leaders in the zone.

The deputy governor who is the highest political officeholder should rise to the occasion and assume her responsibility of being the leader of the party in the zone. This is an urgent call because as it seems there is no one in charge of the APC in the southern senatorial zone. Everybody is going about their activities separately.

One of the greatest setbacks militating against the rapid progress of the party is the allegation of intra-party rivalry between its leaders. The existence of factions in the zone is a great impediment. The deputy governor controls a faction, the political adviser has his faction, Durunguwa has a faction, and the party chairman is also controlling a faction, including Prof. Ben Gugong, Jerry Adams, and so on. These factions are capable of weakening the party.

While there have been calls for meetings in the recent past by a few stakeholders to unite these factions to further attract new to swell the ranks and expand the stronghold of the party, such calls have not received positive responses owing to a lack of leadership. In addition, individuals who have shown concern and demonstrated willingness and commitment to the expansion of the party and have expended personal resources, time, and energy are deliberately sidelined. Many now wonder if further sacrifice to the party is worth it!

It's instructive to note that even while the APC is in control of local governments like Jema'a, Sanga, Kaura, Jaba, Kagarko, and Kachia there are no serious political engagements by the representatives to sensitise the electorate continuously about the party. Instead, it's the opposition PDP representatives in the state and national assemblies from Jema'a/Sanga, Kaura, and Zangon Kataf/Jaba that are engaging the electorate daily, empowering the people irrespective of party.

Due to this political lackluster attitude many political foot soldiers who earlier indicated interest to decamp to the APC have developed cold feet. After all, what use is it to a party that has not demonstrated any commitment to your interest when others are bringing succour to you?

It is high time the deputy governor takes her rightful place as the leader of the APC in the zone and galvanizes other political officeholders into action as a solid bloc to entrench the party. It's a great mistake on her part to encourage the formation of factions. She must desist from favouring a section against other sections because it disenfranchises others leading to murmuring. As it's said, a stitch in time saves nine.

Agreed but the executive and the legislature need to be more reasonable and responsible with the national cake at their disposal. Let the sacrifice begin from the top.

You're still not getting the point, prove your points beyond reasonable doubt. You're just throwing insults. You're smarter than this.

The fact that you throw insults instead of bringing reasonable points tells alot about you.

Olodo why are you like this, it's common sense divide the states budget by the total population. That is the easy way or you can get their FAAC revenue plus their IGR and divide it by the total population of the state.

Great well designed and it looks good but some of our guys are just heartless they'll just block the drains with sand and palm sized alcohol sachets. Nigerians are not ready.

Kushites:


If the roads are too narrow, we can still cover the drains and clear the sand.

Do you know that in Japan, only major roads have sidewalks?

Their inner roads have none, because they are too narrow. They were built centuries ago, before the invention of cars.

But see how they look:





Road sealed properly, so not a drop of sand on it, and drains covered.

Nigerian Navy town class boats

Sokoto? Ibeno? These are town class boats.

The Nigerian Navy has a naming system for its vessels. Frigates are usually named thunder. For example, NNS Obuma (obuma = thunder in Efik), NNS Aradu (Aradu = thunder in Hausa), NNS Okpabana (okpabana - thunder in Igala), NNS Thunder (thunder = thunder in English).

Landing ship tanks are usually named after crocodiles, for example, NNS Ambe (ambe = crocodile in Tiv), NNS Offiom (offiom = crocodile in Efik) and NNS Kada (kada = crocodile in Hausa).

Our old corvettes, NNS Dorina (Hausa), NNS Otobo (Kalabari), NNS Erinomi (Yoruba) and NNS Enyimiri (Igbo) were also named after hippopotamus , while our new corvettes have English names (NNS Centenary, NNS Unity).

There is a class of patrol boats that are named after towns (and ethnic groups). Some famous examples include:

NNS Ibadan and NNS Ogoja: NNS Ibadan was a minesweeper/patrol boat that was involved in the Civil War. It was in Calabar at the start of the war, so the Biafran Navy seized it. It was commanded by P.J. Odu. The Biafran Navy renamed it BNS Vigilance.

NNS Ibadan was involved in a battle with NNS Ogoja near Bonny. NNS Ogoja was commanded by Akin Aduwo, who would later become the chief of naval staff during the Shagari era. NNS Ogoja severely damaged NNS Ibadan and it caught fire.

The interesting thing was that Akin Aduwo and Paschal Odu were classmates at the academy. Aduwo got on his ship's public address system and told Odu to surrender and he would not be harmed. Instead Odu jumped off the burning ship and swam into the bush. Aduwo saw Odu many years later and asked him why he didn't surrender. Didn't he know that he would not be harmed? Odu replied that he knew that Aduwo would never harm him, but he couldn't speak for Aduwo's subordinates.

The Nigerian Navy put out the fire on NNS Ibadan and towed it to Lagos to present it to General Gowon.

NNS Badagry: is a patrol boat. In 2013 it was engaged in a gun battle with pirates that had captured an oil tanker. The pirates tried to escape and NNS Badagry killed 12 of them before the remaining 4 surrendered.

NNS Andoni is the first made in Nigeria seaward defence boat.

NNS Karaduwa is another made in Nigeria seaward defence boat.

NNS Ibeno was commissioned by President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday.

Others include NNS Sokoto, NNS Oji, NNS Bonny, NNS Bomadi, NNS Burutu and NNS Ose.
