Nwali Hunts For Glory At 5th Janet Adowei Memorial Scrabble Championship

 

Enoch Nwali, the immediate past African champion has revealed his resolve to be among the top performers at the 5th Janet Adowei Memorial Scrabble Championship holding this weekend in Lagos.

The national champion has played his way to success at different championships including the highly entertaining duel with now African King Timilehin Doko at the Ultimate Scrabble Showdown but the soft-spoken Jammer appeared to have slowed down at recent tournaments according to observers.

A peep at the charts of Lekki Scrabble Classics, the African Championship and the recently concluded South-West Opens revealed ‘The Drummer Boy” perhaps, needs to ‘beat’ himself back to his high standards which the JAMSC now presents.

But he was cautious in his aspirations.

Known for his offensive rapid style of play on the board, the 2022 EEAST winner knows that nothing is promised in the playing arena regardless of status just like the art of picking tiles from the tile bag.

“My main objective at the 5th JAMSC will be to give a good account of myself which will mean placing at the top 3 at the end of the event.” Nwali said.

Tayo Ogunseye  reports that among those who will be trudging into the Chevron Recreational Club are his friend and rival Doko, rave of the moment Grand Master John Aiyedun as well as other proven battlers who have titles and perhaps, scars to show for it.

“I need a lot of rest this week,” he admitted “because I have been on the road for the past two weeks upon our return from Kigali, Rwanda.”

Enoch will now prep himself up for prime performance at the big scrabble show starting this Saturday.

Contestants will hurdle through a total of 18 rounds of games where the top winner will go home with 750,000 naira and trophy.

Host Engr. Ebikeme Adowei has placed all cards on the table for another fiesta to be witnessed in the ever exciting Janet Adowei Memorial Scrabble Championship.

The Deputy Governor of Osun State, Prince Kola Adewusi, has thrown his full support behind the upcoming Osun State Intercollegiate Games 2024. The much-anticipated event is slated to run from November 20 to December 4, 2024, and will be hosted at two renowned venues: the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) Sports Complex in Ile-Ife and the Federal Polytechnic Ede Sports Complex in Ede.

As both the Deputy Governor and the state’s Commissioner for Sports, Prince Adewusi has consistently championed initiatives aimed at youth empowerment through sports. In his endorsement speech, he highlighted the significance of the Intercollegiate Games as a transformative platform designed to promote unity, discover emerging talents, and strengthen ties between higher institutions across Osun State.

“The Osun Intercollegiate Games is a brilliant concept aimed at uniting our higher institutions through healthy competition,” Adewusi remarked. “This event not only promotes physical fitness but also builds camaraderie and resilience among our young talents. My office will provide all the necessary resources to ensure its success.”

The organizers of the games, Ace Sports, have been lauded for their meticulous preparations. During a courtesy visit to the Deputy Governor, Olayiwola Olafiranye, Team Lead of Ace Sports, expressed the team’s commitment to delivering an exceptional experience. “We are thrilled about the 2024 edition of the Osun Intercollegiate Games. Our team has been working tirelessly to ensure everything is in top shape, from logistics to infrastructure,” Olafiranye said.

He acknowledged the pivotal role of the state government in ensuring the success of the event, noting, “We deeply appreciate the continuous support from the Osun State Government and Deputy Governor Adewusi, whose commitment to youth and sports development is exemplary.”

Ace Sports’ Chief Operating Officer, Olayinka Olawole, provided further insights into the games’ scope. He revealed that the competition will feature six sports: athletics, football, chess, scrabble, badminton, tug of war, and table tennis. “This broad participation aims to provide a platform for young athletes to showcase their talents and compete for glory,” Olawole stated.

Olawole emphasized the importance of collective efforts in ensuring the event’s success. He called on corporate bodies, alumni associations, and sports enthusiasts to come forward and support the initiative. “These games belong to all of us. It’s a chance to celebrate our youth and invest in the future of Osun State. Together, we can make this event a landmark success,” he added.

Land Commissioner warns land encroachers, ground rent defaulters, threatens legal consequences

Land Commissioner warns land encroachers, ground rent defaulters, threatens legal consequences

 

Delta State Commissioner for Lands, Surveys and Urban Development, Chief Goodnews Emamusi Obiodeh has taken a tough stance on land encroachment, warning individuals and communities to stop trespassing on government acquired lands or face legal consequences.

The Commissioner gave this warning in his office in Asaba during a meeting with representatives of Atakiako (Egbedemi) family of Oleh in Isoko South Local Government Area.

Obiodeh, emphasized that the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria vested ownership of all lands, which were acquired on the Governor for the service of public interest.

He therefore advised Communities which are hosts to Government acquisitions to always verify properly and check with the various field Offices of the Ministry before development or sale to avoid being prosecuted for criminal trespass reminding them that ignorance of the law is not an excuse for breaking the law.

He also warned individuals buying and building on State Government lands, as according to him the Town Planning Offices will not approve illegal buildings on such lands and even if approved in error, will be demolished and such encroachers prosecuted.

The Commissioner therefore cautioned against forceful occupation of Government lands across the State as the resultant disobedience of the law will lead to heavy losses on their part.

While responding, Prince Andrew Ogbodu the family Regent and Spokesman said they were unaware of the State Government acquisition, he therefore appealed to the Commissioner to help them with information on the size of the acquisition as well as a delineation of the boundaries to enable them identify areas belonging to the State Government.

According to the Commissioner, the warning was in consonance with the State Government’s resolve to recover all Government lands which have been encroached.

This was recently demonstrated through the demolition of illegal structures on Dennis Osadebay University land in Anwai-Asaba.

The State Government’s stance aims to maintain respect for rule of law, orderliness and tackle the menace of land grabbers and unscrupulous persons who hide under the guise of ignorance to sell Government lands.

The Commissioner however, advised those who may have erroneously built on State lands without approval to come forward to the Ministry.

He further used the opportunity to charge property owners with Certificates of Occupancy to pay their outstanding ground rents to avoid penalties and other unpleasant consequences which could lead to revocation.

THE DISTINCTIVE FEATURES OF THE SHERIFF OBOREVWORI ADMINISTRATION.

THE DISTINCTIVE FEATURES OF THE SHERIFF OBOREVWORI ADMINISTRATION.

 

The Sheriff Oborevwori Administration of Delta State has presented series of spectacular events, some of which defy human logic. Governor Oborevwori himself emerged Governor after surviving as many as 38 court cases, which were veritable land mines strewn on his part to stop him from becoming Governor. As a man destined to govern the state, he weathered all storms, and today, no one is in doubt that he didn’t become governor by chance but through divine orchestration

The 18 -month old administration of Sheriff Oborevwori, with its M.O.R.E agenda mantra, presents features that are distinct from those of his predecessors in ways that are deliberately remarkable :

(1) A PREDILECTION FOR QUALITY PROJECTS
One distinctive feature of the Oborevwori administration is its emphasis on quality projects. The administration has thus hired reputable construction firms like Julius Berger, CCC construction company, CCECC, Levant Construction Company, SETRACO and tested home grown construction firms like Obakpor Engineering Limited to execute its high profile construction projects.

While Julius Berger is handling the construction of three bridges, cloverleaf and road expansion projects in Warri/Effurun metropolis, CCECC is handling the sector C of the 167 Kilometer Asaba Ughelli expressway including the complex Obo bridge at Ogwashi Uku.

SETRACO is handling the ambitious Trans-Warri Ode 20.95 Kilometer Itsekiri road with multiple bridges and spurs. Also, Obakpor Engineering, a reputable indigenous firm, is handling the Orere bridge in the Ughelli South Local Government area.

Remarkably, Governor Oborevwori pays personal attention to these projects to complement the efforts of competent Commissioners and government Engineers who oversee them. Besides, Governor Oborevwori has the spectacular habit of setting aside monies for projects while still under construction to avoid project abandonment. To this end, all the projects bequeathed to it by the Okowa administration have either been completed or are at varying stages of completion.

(2) ZERO TOLERANCE FOR SHODDY OR SUB-STANDARD PROJECTS
Right from inception, Governor Oborevwori made it clear to Contractors that his administration was going to have zero tolerance for shoddy or substandard jobs. He made it clear that contracts were going to be awarded to only competent contractors in line with the M.O.R.E agenda of the administration. To this end, he appointed a competent civil Engineer as the Special Adviser for Project Monitoring and Audit and a strong team of project monitors to ensure compliance.

Governor Oborevwori ensures that monies set aside for projects have value just as he abhors cutting corners or use of out-of-specification materials for projects .

(3) JUDICIOUS USE OF PUBLIC FUNDS FOR PUBLIC GOOD
Governor Oborevwori is a good manager of men and resources and he exhibits these good traits in the management of state resources. Since mounting the saddle as Governor of Delta state, he has not borrowed a kobo to finance Government projects. He works within means and ensures that government obligations to contractors and civil/public servants are met as at when due.

Oborevwori has consistently plugged all areas of waste or leakages while also ensuring that Government does not indulge in reckless expenditure that gives the impression that his government is a “Father Christmas”

(4) DELIBERATE AND SUSTAINABLE HUMAN CAPITAL ENGAGEMENT
In line with the M.O.R.E Agenda, Governor Oborevwori started early by recruiting 3000 teaching and non-teaching staff across the 25 local government areas of the state. The Governor also ensured that students of Delta State origin, numbering over 60,000 in tertiary institutions across the country, received their 2022/2023 bursary while also approving a 25% reduction in acceptance fees in the four state-owned universities. The Governor has so far done three tranches of palliative distribution to widows, the aged, and vulnerable segments of the society.

The State’s MORE GRANT SCHEME has recorded tremendous results as thousands of beneficiaries in targeted trades/artisans have been empowered. Meanwhile, direct beneficiaries of the Delta COVID-19 Action Recovery and Economic Stimulus (D-CARES) had exponentially increased from 36,353 to 110,841 within one year of the Oborevwori administration. The Delta State government, under Oborevwori’s watch, is poised to create 50,000 jobs with the introduction of Special Agricultural Economic Zones with special strategic partnership with the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, the African Development Bank, and International Institute for Tropical Agriculture (IITA ), amongst others.

Also, the Oborevwori administration has given financial assistance to students of Delta State extraction in seven Nigeria law schools across the Nation. This is in addition to the payment of N14.5 billion as pension obligations to retired workers in the State. As a workers-friendly administration, Governor Oborevwori has not only paid the outstanding promotion arrears of civil servants but also promptly approved a minimum wage of N77,000 Naira for civil servants in the State.

(5)DELIBERATE YOUTH ENGAGEMENT AT HIGH LEVEL OF GOVERNANCE
Perhaps no government before it in Delta State has given youths the opportunity to participate in high levels of Government as the Oborevwori administration has done. The Oborevwori administration lived up to its campaign promise by unprecedentedly giving several youths opportunities to serve as members of the state Executive Council. About 30% of the state commissioners are below 40, and this is replicated in the number of youths who are EAs, SSAs, and SAs. This policy has brought a lot of succour to youths in the state and increased capacity building, youth empowerment, and succession planning in governance.

(6)EMPOWERMENT OF MORE WOMEN IN GOVERNMENT THROUGH POLICY OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
The government of Oborevwori is very women-friendly.
To foster gender inclusiveness, Governor Oborevwori directed the state PDP to ensure that when a man emerges as Chairmanship candidate in the local government election, the Vice Chairman must be a woman. The Governor also directed that at least three women must emerge as Councillors in each of the Local Government Councils.

The last local government election, therefore, produced more women in that tier of government than any administration before it since 1999. This policy again has engendered inclusion and peace in the state.

(7)A GOVERNMENT OF INCLUSION
The Oborevwori administration promised to run a government of inclusion and has so far lived to its promise. To create an atmosphere of inter-party harmony and cohesion, Governor Oborevwori appointed several opposition party chairmen to serve in his government. That aside, the Governor gave appointments to non-indigenes in the state and gave the nonindigene community in the state a special status, thus fostering a unique opportunity for them to participate in the affairs of government.

(8)A MORE BALANCED PATRONAGE AND RESOURCE DISTRIBUTION TO THE DIFFERENT ETHNIC NATIONALITIES IN DELTA STATE
The Government of Sheriff Oborevwori has deliberately created ethnic balancing by ensuring even distribution of patronage and resources to the different ethnic nationalities in the state. At no time before now has the different ethnic nationalities experienced this type of inter-communal peace in the state. For the first time since 1999, the Ndokwa Nation produced a Deputy Governor. An Itsekiri man is the state Chairman of PDP, while an Ijaw man is the Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly. An Isoko man is the Chief of Staff while an Ika man is the SSG. The Aniocha/Oshimili Federal constituency has produced the Senator representing Delta North in the Senate. The Political lines has fallen in pleasant places, and no community is left out. The Isoko people were recently pleasantly surprised when Governor Oborevwori facilitated a new faculty of Basic medical sciences in the University of science and Technology Ozoro and also approved immediate building of a new faculty building to accommodate students into the new faculty. Such is the spirit with which the Governor creates community peace and security .

The aforementioned Political craftmanship perhaps explains the reason why Sheriff Oborevwori had the distinction of being not only the longest-serving speaker in the Delta state of Assembly (11th May 2017 – May 28th, 2023) but also the only speaker in the history of the Assembly to have transmuted from one administration to another.
