Borno Set To Boost Fish Production – Commissioner
The Borno Government on Tuesday restated its commitment to
boost fish production in the state and create job opportunities for
youths.
Alhaji Umar Sandabe, Commissioner for Animal and Fisheries Development, told newsmen on Tuesday in Maiduguri.
He said the ministry had trained scores of youths in fish farming with a view to boosting its production in the state.
Sandabe said that the state government had provided new facilities at the Fish Hatchery Complex to enhance favourable and suitable environment for the production of fish.
“We have hatchery machines capable of producing ten thousand fingerlings as well as seven concrete fish ponds, a bore hole and overhead tank as well as 18 fish ponds constructed to boost the production of table size fish for sell.” he said.
According to him, the state is a home of fish production, adding that fish hatcheries will be established across the state in order to maintain its position as a fish producing state in the country.
“This hatchery was acquired by Gov. Kashim Shettima administration to produce fingerlings and table-sized fish for sale to the public at subsidised rate as more people are running away from beef to fish and vegetables nowadays,” he said.
According to the commissioner, plans are underway to also resuscitate the Maiduguri Dairy Plant, which has remained dormant for many years.
He said plans had also reached advanced stage to acquire more cows for the purpose of obtaining raw milk for the dairy plant, to boost the economy of the state.(NAN)

Is Agricultural Equipment Hiring Centres Another Policy Statement?
The minister of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural
Development (FMARD), Mr Akinwumi Adesina, had in an interactive session
with mechanisation partners in February said, “after the expressions of
interest published in various media, the 80 agriculture and equipment
hiring entreprises (AEHE) will be handed over to the winners by early
April to commence operations for the 2014 farming season.
“For the 2014 farming season, N1billon has been approved for the growth enhancement scheme (GES) on mechanisation. Farmers will only pay 50 per cent of the cost of taking off while the mechanisation GES will cover the other 50 per cent.”
Sadly the farming season is here but the AEHE is yet to kick off. It will be unfortunate if these promises become just a policy statement as the call for practicing agriculture as a business rather than a development activity has taken root and farmers are keen to expand their activities.
The need for government to fulfil all its obligations and ensure that the agriculture sector is redeemed becomes a necessity for it to successfully achieve the goals of the agricultural transformation agenda which is aimed at eradicating hunger and creating jobs for the huge number of unemployed Nigerians both in the rural and urban areas.
In an interview with the national financial secretary, All Farmers Association of Nigeria (AFAN), Mr Tunde Aronsanye, he noted that “youths are shying away from farm work because of the way agriculture is still being practiced. For instance, there is about one tractor to 500/1000 farmers which is grossly inadequate. We have situations where farmers pay for tractor services in April only to have access to it in September. So the way farming is practiced is still not attractive to get our youths to join in unlike other professions. But in our own little way, we are trying to showcase the potential of agriculture to the youths through sensitisation and workshops. We are also appealing to the government through the ATA to make farming more attractive.”
While it is estimated that the current level of mechanisation in Nigeria is 0.03hp/ha, the Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) of the UN recommends 1.5hp/ha. It is estimated that the total number of tractors in the country are about 30,000 and over 50 per cent of those are in a bad shape and so not functional.
The AEHEs are established and managed by the federal government in partnership with the private sector, while the financing is also a partnership between the federal government and the Bank of Agriculture to provide mechanised services to farmers at a token. It is expected that the government will provide 35 per cent of the loans, Bank of Agriculture 35 per cent, agro-machinery vendors 10 per cent and service provider operators (SPOs) 20 per cent equity.
To kick-start the implementation of the framework, the Adesina, through the ministry, approved an intervention scheme of N3.6 billion to serve as a pilot fund, stating that “each of the AEHE is to be equipped with five units of tractors, five units of power tillers, and various harvest and post-harvest equipment will be off-taken by SPOs from the private sector using the refinancing credit facility window of the scheme on a demand-driven basis.”
He said, “Each centre costs an average of N43 million and SPOs will provide 20 per cent equity to start up an AEHE. The balance of 80 per cent jointly financed by the PPP will be repaid over four years with a seven per cent interest as cost of fund. The 35 per cent government counterpart fund has two years moratorium on both capital and interest.
“The GES has been expanded beyond seeds and fertilisers, to provide mechanisation subsidy to assist Nigerian farmers access mechanisation services from these centres. Farmers will receive their mechanisation support as electronic vouchers on their mobile phones which they will use to pay for mechanised services at the registered AEHEs.”
Adesina had earlier said “We are not unaware of the challenges that has bedeviled the mechanisation sector in the past years. In spite of government’s past efforts at subsidising the cost of tractors at 45 per cent of the original cost, the desired impact has not been created as the small scale farmers that produce 80 per cent of our food still have very little or no access to these subsidised machinery.”

Wahala dey o! Rick Ross tattoos 'Rich Forever' on his chin...:-)
He's being massively criticized for it with one fan writing "He's not rich enough that he doesn't have to worry about money for the rest of his life. The way he spends it he may be broke soon...the life of a rapper is short lived" but I guess it's a good thing, the tat will remind him for a long time to spend money wisely so he can live up to the phrase on his face. I'm sure he wouldn't want to one day change it to 'Used to be rich!" lol. See another pic after the cut...

National Conference delegates vote to tax churches, mosques
Delegates at the ongoing National Conference yesterday May 27th
voted unanimously for churches & mosques to pay taxes. The delegates
arrived at the decision after deliberating on recommendations made by
the Committee on Religion.
A delegate representing
Civil Organizations, Mallam Naseer Kura, during the deliberation
observed that most religious leaders in Nigeria are now making a lot of
money from their organizations and so should be taxed
accordingly.
Supporting his arguement, Isaac Ighure a delegate
representing the Nigeria Guild of Editors, in his submission said most
religious leaders had so much money now to buy jets while their
followers are living in abject poverty and asked that they should be
made to pay taxes. "Some people buy private jets when people in their
churches are suffering and living in abject poverty, they should be made
to pay taxes,” he said.
The recommendations to pay tax will be submitted to the National Assembly at the end of
the conference and if accepted by the National Assembly, it would then
be passed into law. Who agrees that religious organizations should pay tax?

NSCDC Boss Demands Daily Reports Of Activities In States
State Commandants of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps
(NSCDC) have been directed to give daily reports of activities within
their commands to the headquarters.
Mr Olusola Odumosu, deputy spokesman, NSDC, made this known to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Monday.
He said the Commandant-General of NSCDC who gave this mandate, added that anybody not effective on duty would be replaced.
Odumosu added that members of the corps had been asked to be more vigilant and effective in their patrols.
“The NSCDC has charged its counter terrorism personnel of the arms squad, the nuclear, biochemical and joint operations units who go on day and night patrols, to ensure that Nigerians are adequately protected.
“This will enable them to execute their duties promptly and adequately when the need arises.’’
Odumosu said the organisation had deployed its critical infrastructure unit personnel to several government assets and infrastructure to protect them against vandalism.
He said such infrastructure included pipelines, electrical/telecom installations, government buildings and bridges, among others.
Odumosu said vandalism of any of the infrastructure would make life unbearable for Nigerians.
According to him, vandalism of petroleum pipeline will result in shortage of fuel supply thereby affecting the lives of the people negatively.
“We will continue to do our best to protect all the facilities under our charge by ensuring that we carry out our duties diligently’’, Odumosu said. (NAN)
