The Niger State Commissioner of Police, CP Shawulu Ebenezer Danmamman has assured of further collaboration and cooperation from the Police Command with sister security agencies over intelligence sharing and operational activities.
The CP gave this assurance during a courtesy visit by the Customs Area Controller, Niger/Kogi Area Command, Compt. P. C Chibuoke and his entourage in his office in Minna.
He urged officers of the two agencies to interact, cross-fertilise ideas, share intelligence and identify stakeholders to help in achieving the required goal.
“The importance of synergy with sister agencies cannot be over-emphasized as a priority in the Police to assist in tackling challenges of crime in the society, ” the CP noted.
Danmamman congratulated Compt. P. C Chibuoke for his appointment and deployment to the state, assuring further collaboration and cooperation from the Police Command.
Earlier, the Customs Controller explained that the visit was to solidify the existing relationship and seek further collaboration between the Police and the Customs formations in the state.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, has pledged the support of the National Assembly for the ongoing reform of the Nigerian power sector, calling for collaboration among all stakeholders to improve the reliability of the national power grid.
Abbas made this observation at the opening ceremony of the International Power Engineering Exhibition and Conference in Abuja on Thursday.
He also called for the integration of renewable energy into the country’s energy mix to enhance efficiency and sufficiency.
At the conference, themed “Birthing an Effective Electric Power Sector of the 21st Century: The Role of Professional Practice Regulation,” the Speaker, represented by the Deputy Chairman, House Committee on Power, Rep August Gana, noted that over the years, the sector has undergone several reforms and privatizations aimed at improving efficiency and reliability.
He said that despite these efforts, the sector continues to face numerous challenges, including inadequate infrastructure, transmission and distribution losses, and insufficient generation and distribution capacities.
According to the Speaker, “The transition from National Electric Power Authority (NEPA) to Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), while marked with optimism, was also met with skepticism, leading to the comical phrase ‘Problem Has Changed Names.’ Yet, despite these challenges, we have seen remarkable progress, especially through the privatization of the sector with successive generation companies (GenCos) and distribution companies (DisCos). This shift has opened the door to more participants and anticipated investment, providing us with an opportunity to redefine the future of power in Nigeria.”
Also speaking, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Power, Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe, lamented that the poor performance of the power sector has left about half of Nigerians without electricity.
He noted that Nigeria’s power sector faces numerous challenges, including frequent grid collapses, inadequate generation capacity, inefficient transmission and distribution networks, and regulatory hurdles that impede progress.
He stated that the nation currently generates approximately 4,500 MW for a population exceeding 200 million, leaving about half of the citizens without reliable electricity access.
Despite possessing vast energy resources, he lamented that the country continues to grapple with significant challenges in power generation and distribution, stressing that this stark reality underscores the necessity for a collaborative effort to reform and revitalize the power sector.
Speaking earlier, the President of the Chartered Institute of Power Engineers of Nigeria (CIPEN), Engr Israel Abraham, explained that power is central to every index of development and a robust economy, believing that as the world gets it right and provides good, efficient, and affordable power to its citizens and industries, with new ideas on how to manage available power through smarter apparatus and control, most of the issues captured in the subthemes will remain relevant.
He stated that the ultimate goal of the international power exhibition and conference is to provide an uncommon syndicated platform that will host major players in the power sector worldwide, with special reference to Nigeria.
The Niger Ministry of Environment and Climate Change has sought collaboration with the management of Hydro Electric Dams to avert potential flooding in the state.
The State Commissioner for Environment and Climate Change, Hon. Yakubu Muhammad Kolo, made this request during a visit to four major dams in the state.
He emphasised that such a collaboration would not only help prevent floods but also allow host communities to benefit from corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives while promoting Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago’s green economy agenda.
Hon. Kolo explained that the visit aimed to partner with the dam management teams to ensure communities near the dams benefit from federal interventions. He also urged those in riverine areas to relocate to safer, elevated land as part of flood prevention efforts.
Additionally, he encouraged the management of Shiroro, Zungeru, Kainji, and Jebba Hydro Power Dams to explore opportunities for environmental sustainability, flood security, and irrigation.
In their separate remarks, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Dr Idris Usman Gbogan, and his counterpart from the Ministry of Water Resources and Dams Development, Alhaji Akilu Musa Kuta, along with key directors of the Environment Ministry, emphasised the visit’s importance to the economic progress of the state.
Receiving the team on behalf of the Chief Operating Officer of Shiroro Hydro Power Dam, General Manager of Plant Services, Engineer Abubakar, assured them that water is released in a way that minimises the impact on downstream communities. He highlighted that in over 20 years of operation, Shiroro Dam has never caused flooding in host communities due to careful planning and public sensitisation efforts.
Similarly, Plant Manager of Zungeru Hydro Electric Dam, Alex Valerio, noted that the dam management maintains data on host communities to ensure they benefit from dam operations. He also affirmed the management’s commitment to partnering with the state government.
The representatives of the four dams commended Niger State’s proactive approach to agriculture and expressed their willingness to enhance corporate social responsibilities as well as contribute to climate and agricultural initiatives.
The visit was part of the Ministry’s initiative to tour all four dams in the state, with the team inspecting both the upstream and downstream facilities of the dams.

In order to accelerate the development of solar and other renewable energy projects in Nigeria, the Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer of Heirs Energies, Samuel Nwanze, has suggested the adoption of innovative financing mechanisms, including green bonds and blended finance for the purpose.
According to him, tailored financial solutions would be required to address project-specific risks and attract investments.
Nwanze suggested these during a firechat session, themed: “Investing in Tomorrow: Navigating the $360 Billion Energy Transition” at the Nigeria Energy Leadership Summit in Lagos.
He underscored the critical role of financial institutions in closing the funding gap for Nigeria’s Energy Transition Plan (ETP).
He explained that there was no one-size-fits-all financing solution for renewable energy projects.
“At Heirs Energies, we engage with investors to assess project risks and structure financing in ways that mitigate these risks while attracting capital. Nigeria was the first African country to issue a green bond, and this highlights our potential to leverage innovative financing mechanisms for sustainable development,” he said.
Nwanze stressed the need for an integrated approach within the renewable energy value chain, calling for better collaboration between key agencies such as the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB), the Rural Electrification Agency (REA), and the Nigerian Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Association (NREEA).
“Quality needs to be ensured cohesively across the sector. We must align all players within the value chain to achieve targeted results,” he said.
According to him, an effective implementation and monitoring framework is critical to the process, noting that without it, most government policies won’t deliver the desired impact.
He also highlighted the importance of local content in renewable energy development.
“The NCDMB has made tremendous achievements in oil and gas, and these can be replicated in the renewable sector.
“Through capacity building, local manufacturing, and research & development, the board’s expertise and the Nigeria Local Content Act can be instrumental in developing a sustainable renewable energy sector,” he said.
Nwanze outlined several key areas requiring investment to achieve Nigeria’s energy transition goals, including large-scale renewable energy projects, off-grid and mini-grid solutions for rural areas, and decarbonizing the power sector.
He noted that meeting clean cooking needs alone would require $7.5 billion by 2030.
“The ETP focuses on power, transportation, industrial decarbonization, and clean cooking solutions. Decarbonizing the power sector alone will need about $135 billion by 2060 to expand renewable energy capacity, improve grid infrastructure, and scale off-grid solutions.
There are significant opportunities to diversify the energy mix, reduce fossil fuel dependency, and enhance electricity access,” Nwanze said.
He called for stronger government support, including financial incentives, tax breaks, and subsidies, to drive renewable energy adoption.
He also emphasized the need for clear policy frameworks to provide certainty around tariffs and demand, thereby attracting long-term investments.
“Increasing grid stability, expanding transmission infrastructure, and adopting energy storage solutions are essential for integrating renewable energy into the national grid.
“The government must also foster international partnerships to accelerate technology transfer and renewable energy deployment,” Nwanze added.
The ED and CFO of Heirs Energies further reaffirmed the company’s commitment to advancing Nigeria’s energy transition.
“At Heirs Energies, we are dedicated to playing a leading role in Nigeria’s energy transition. Together, we can shape a sustainable energy future that benefits all Nigerians,” he said.

The Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF) recently gathered stakeholders in Abuja for an event aimed at enhancing its engagement with critical players in the Employee Compensation Scheme (ECS), a reflection of the fund’s commitment to aligning its operations with the evolving demands of the workforce. CHRISTIAN APPOLOS reports.
Organised by the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund’s (NSITF) SERVICOM department, the tripartite stakeholders’ forum had the theme, ‘Strengthening Stakeholder Engagement in NSITF’ and brought together captains of industry, the leadership of the Nigeria Employers Consultative Association (NECA), the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC), as well as government representatives and direct beneficiaries of the Employee Compensation Scheme (ECS).
The event’s high-profile attendance underscores the importance of the Employee Compensation Scheme (ECS), which is designed to provide safety nets for employees injured or incapacitated in the course of work. The stakeholders’ gathering also featured dependents of deceased enrollees who shared their experiences and benefits derived from the scheme.
In attendance was Mrs Nnenna Akajemeli, National Coordinator of SERVICOM, who further highlighted the importance of stakeholder collaboration in delivering excellent public service.
Strategic Priorities 2024-2027: A roadmap to greater engagement
The meeting aligns with the broader vision of the NSITF’s new leadership, whose “Strategic Priorities 2024-2027” plan sets out five key pillars, according to Godson Nwachukwu, the fund’s General Manager, Corporate Affairs. Chief among these is stakeholder engagement, a core focus for the fund moving forward. This vision highlights the importance of governance, transparency and continuous monitoring of operations to ensure efficiency.
In his keynote address, the Managing Director of the NSITF, Mr Oluwaseun Faleye, reaffirmed the commitment of his management team to strengthening relationships with stakeholders.
Faleye emphasised that fostering constructive engagements between the fund and its stakeholders was critical to achieving the organisation’s mandate. “Our goal is to continue fostering partnerships that are beneficial not only to the fund but also to the workers and employers who depend on our services.
“As part of its engagement efforts, the NSITF has committed to greater transparency in its processes. This is reflected in the ongoing review of its Service Charter, a set of guidelines meant to improve access to benefits for enrollees,” Faleye said.
He further assured stakeholders that the reforms would lead to more seamless access to the fund’s services, particularly for those in the informal sector, which has been historically underserved by the scheme.
He also emphasised that workplace safety and a culture of collaboration between employers and employees are central to ensuring the ECS works efficiently. “We are focusing on creating an environment where employees can question their employers on contributions to the NSITF. It is essential for employees to take their contributions to the fund as seriously as they do their pensions, as these contributions ensure their protection under the Employee Compensation Scheme,” Faleye noted.
The role of stakeholders in expanding the ECS
The forum provided an avenue for other key players to weigh in on the future of the NSITF and the ECS. For instance, the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Joe Ajaero, stressed the need for improved service delivery by the fund.
According to him, the quality of services offered by NSITF directly impacts the wellbeing of Nigerian workers. “Efficient service delivery is non-negotiable in ensuring that the suffering of Nigerian citizens is alleviated,” Ajaero remarked.
Similarly, the Director-General of Nigeria Employers Consultative Association (NECA), Smart Oyerinde, called for an expansion of the ECS’s coverage to include benefits for older workers and retirees.
Oyerinde noted that as Nigeria’s workforce ages, there is a pressing need to extend the reach of the fund’s compensation mechanisms. “The NSITF must enlarge its scope to cover more Nigerians, including older workers. Additionally, the fund needs to enhance its public awareness campaigns to ensure more people understand their rights and benefits,” Oyerinde said.
The President of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), Comrade Festus Osifo, echoed Oyerinde’s position. Represented by the President of the Association of Senior Staff of Banks, Insurance, and Financial Institutions (ASSBIFI), Comrade Oluwole Olusoji, the TUC president urged the fund to further broaden its reach. According to Olusoji, more Nigerian workers need to benefit from the ECS, especially those in sectors that have traditionally been left out.
SERVICOM’s call for trust and brand enhancement
Mrs Nnenna Akajemeli, the National Coordinator of SERVICOM, addressed the gathering on the role of building trust and enhancing the NSITF’s brand through stronger stakeholder engagement.
Akajemeli suggested that regular communication, updates and feedback mechanisms between the fund and its stakeholders would help in conflict resolution and foster a harmonious relationship.
“Brand enhancement and building trust are critical components of any stakeholder engagement strategy,” Akajemeli said. “NSITF must continue to build strong relationships with its stakeholders through effective communication and two-way feedback.”
The need for employee vigilance
One of the recurring themes at the event was the importance of employee vigilance in ensuring compliance with the ECS. Mr Faleye stressed that employees must take an active role in monitoring their employers’ contributions to the fund.
“We want a system where employees themselves act as checks on their employers, ensuring that proper contributions are made,” Faleye said. “Ultimately, the employees are the ones who benefit from the scheme and they need to be vigilant to ensure they are fully covered.”
This call for vigilance aligns with the NSITF’s broader advocacy campaigns, which aim to prevent employers from underreporting salaries or undercutting the fund. Faleye likened this vigilance to the way employees monitor their pension contributions, urging that ECS contributions be given the same level of importance.
Live testimonials and recognition of employers
One of the highlights of the event was the live testimonials from beneficiaries of the ECS in the Abuja region. These personal accounts underscored the real-world impact of the scheme and provided tangible evidence of its benefits to both employees and their families.
In recognition of their steadfastness in contributing to the ECS, 50 employers and organisations were honoured with awards during the event. The gesture was a testament to the vital role these companies play in ensuring the success of the compensation scheme.
Way forward for NSITF and stakeholders
As the NSITF moves forward with its strategic plan for 2024-2027, the emphasis on strengthening stakeholder engagement appears to be a cornerstone of its approach. The inclusion of the informal sector and the expansion of the fund’s services to cover more workers highlight the organisation’s drive to be more inclusive.
Executive Director of Operations, Honourable Mojisolaoluwa Alli-Macaulay, affirmed this direction, noting that continuous dialogue with stakeholders will be essential for the success of the NSITF’s initiatives. She stated: “It is through these kinds of engagements that we can ensure our policies are aligned with the needs of both employers and employees.”
The NSITF’s renewed focus on transparency, governance and engagement shows its determination to remain relevant in a rapidly changing labour market.
As the tripartite stakeholders left Abuja, the consensus was clear: the future of Nigeria’s workforce depends on a strong, well-managed Employee Compensation Scheme and the NSITF is on a mission to deliver just that.

There is no single person, regardless of position or experience who has a monopoly of good ideas. It can be extremely limiting if you must depend on the versatility of your ideas alone. The reason you have team members is because you can’t do the job alone. Likewise, your ideas aren’t sufficient to move the team forward, you need the ideas of your team to complement yours.
There is what is called collaborative thinking, and this is important for leaders who desire to be effective. Leaders and organizations who desire to be innovative requires collaboration. Society has romanticized the idea of the lone genius and this could be counterproductive.
There is a group called “Brain Trust” in a company called Pixar. Pixar is one of the most consistently innovative and successful animation studios in history while “Brain Trust” is a renowned and influential group of experienced directors and storytellers who review and provide constructive feedback on film projects in the company. Ed Catmull, the co-founder established the group to leverage on their wisdom to maintain excellence and high standards. This system allowed Pixar to turn potential failures into triumphs.
There’s a saying in the Yoruba culture of Southwest Nigeria that translates to, “Leveraging other people’s wisdom is why we don’t call an elder a mad man.” This proverb beautifully encapsulates the idea that true wisdom comes from recognising and utilising the knowledge and experiences of others. Both the old and the young have something to bring to the table.
IBM, a company with a rich history of innovation, leveraged this collaborative process and brought together 150,000 employees and stakeholders from 104 countries in an online forum. This initiative was called “Innovation Jam”. In 2006, they opened their innovation process, inviting not just employees, but also their families, business partners, and clients to participate in a massive online brainstorming session. This collaborative effort led to the creation of new businesses worth hundreds of millions of dollars for IBM. It demonstrated that breakthrough ideas can come from anywhere, not just the C-suite.
Many times, experience may fail to proffer solutions to the boggling questions of the moment. At times, ideas that solve problems come from the least expected quarters. Fresh eyes can see old problems in new ways. Use the mind of your team members to the advantage of the team to advance the overall objective.
One of the most famous examples of this principle in action is the story of Richard Montañez, a janitor at Frito-Lay. Montañez, who had no formal education beyond fourth grade, came up with the idea for Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. Despite his position, he pitched the idea directly to the CEO, Roger Enrico. The CEO was impressed, and Montañez was tasked with developing the product. Flamin’ Hot Cheetos was launched in 1992, and it was a massive success, generating $1billion revenue within the first year. This story illustrates how groundbreaking ideas can come from any level of an organization, and how important it is for leaders to be open to these ideas.
As a leader, your role isn’t to be the source of all wisdom, but rather to create an environment where great ideas can flourish and to recognize potential when you see it.
Interestingly, Google’s famous “20 percent time” policy, which allowed engineers to spend 20% of their work time on projects of their choosing, led to the development of some of the company’s most successful products, including Gmail and AdSense. This policy demonstrated how empowering employees for the creation of new ideas can lead to significant innovation.
In today’s complex world, no single person can have all the answers. The most effective leaders recognize this and actively seek out the diverse perspectives and ideas of their team members. By creating an environment that encourages, and values input from all levels, you not only tap into a wealth of potential innovations but also foster a more engaged, motivated, and committed team.
The role of a team lead isn’t to be the smartest person in the room, but to create the smartest team. By leveraging the collective wisdom of your entire organization, you will be better equipped to tackle challenges, seize opportunities, and drive your team towards success.
As you move forward in your leadership journey, challenge yourself to seek out and seriously consider ideas from every corner of your organization. You might just find that the next big breakthrough is hiding in plain sight, just waiting for you to listen.

The District Governor of Lions Club International, District 404 A3, Nigeria, Dr. Folashade Shotomide, has urged wealthy Nigerians, corporate organisations, and individuals to collaborate with her organisation and the government to tackle youth unrest, unemployment, and other issues hindering societal development.
Shotomide made this call during the fundraising and investiture ceremony for Lion Aminat Anike Sanusi, the new president of the Ikorodu Peculiar Lions Club, held on Sunday in Ikorodu, Lagos State.
The ceremony also marked the inauguration of the club’s Board of Directors for the 2024/2025 Lions calendar.
Shotomide emphasised the importance of stakeholder collaboration in addressing rising unemployment and environmental challenges.
She pointed out that inadequate humanitarian efforts, poor social welfare, insufficient training programmes, lack of recreational facilities, and inadequate education contribute to youth restiveness.
Supporting this call, David Akinosho, the club’s chartered president and chairperson of Lions Clubs Zone 7B, urged affluent Nigerians and organisations to back Lions Clubs International in improving society by aiding the less privileged.
He highlighted the club’s dedication to humanitarian services, reaffirming its commitment to addressing issues related to the environment, hunger, health, and job creation.
Sanusi, the newly installed first female president of the club, pledged to continue her predecessor’s work and solicited support from wealthy Nigerians and corporate organisations to enhance their efforts for the needy, stating that the government and Lions Club cannot do it alone.

Ahead of the planned nationwide demonstration on August 1, the National Civil Society Organization of Nigeria (NCSCN) has appealed to the organisers to pursue constructive dialogue and collaboration with the federal government to end hardship in the country rather than resorting to protests.
It also salutes the President’s openness and sincerity of purpose, noting that his public acknowledgement of the nation’s enormous challenges indicates a patriotic and genuine commitment to addressing the issues.
At a press conference in Abuja yesterday, NCSCN Executive Director, Amb. Blessing A. Akinlosotu called on all Nigerians to exercise patience and give the government the necessary time and support to implement essential reforms and initiatives.
Blessing said, “We believe that through constructive dialogue and collaboration, we can achieve lasting changes shortly.”
According to him, protests can have both positive and negative impacts on countries in terms of stability, economy, and infrastructure; however, protests often have a more destructive impact.
Furthermore, Nigerians must understand that the outcome of agitations in a precarious situation like ours is unpredictable.
It is evident that in protest situations, shops are usually looted, and businesses and other economic activities are shut down, consequently inflicting more suffering on the masses rather than on the government.
Therefore, constructive dialogue and collaboration are essential for navigating these challenges and ensuring the country’s stable and prosperous future.
Vice President Kashim Shettima has said there is an urgent need for financial innovation to drive Nigeria’s economic and financial inclusion agenda.
This is in line with the commitment of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration to bringing over 30 million unbanked Nigerians into the formal financial sector.
Shettima made the call during a high-level policy dialogue between the Nigerian government and private sector stakeholders held in Washington DC, the United States capital.
The initiative, which brought together government officials, regulators, law enforcement agencies, and fintech industry leaders at the George Washington University, aims to leverage innovative approaches to drive a sustainable and inclusive financial system in Nigeria.
Addressing the gathering via video conference, Vice President Shettima in a statement by his spokesman, Stanley Nkwocha, highlighted President Tinubu’s commitment to bringing over 30 million unbanked Nigerians into the formal financial sector.
“We must develop a sustainable collaboration approach that will facilitate the adoption of inclusive payment to achieve our objective of economic and financial inclusion,” he stated.
The dialogue focused on addressing critical challenges in Nigeria’s fintech ecosystem, including regulatory oversight, security concerns, and trust issues that have hindered the widespread adoption of innovative financial solutions.
Participants explored strategies to enhance interagency collaboration and strengthen the overall effectiveness of the financial services sector.
Earlier, the deputy chief of staff to the president, Ibrahim Hadejia, said, “While the office of the vice president has given priority to economic and financial inclusion, it is expected that each agency of government will continue to play their statutory role collaboratively to achieve the set objective.”
Also, deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria in charge of Financial System Stability, Philip Ikeazor, noted the need for ongoing collaboration among all players to achieve the objectives of the Aso Accord on Economic and Financial Inclusion.
Director general of the National Information Technology Agency, Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi, proposed “a Digital-first approach and the need to fuse Digital Literacy with Financial literacy as a means to address trust issues affecting the inclusive payment ecosystem.”
This is just as the GMD of Moniepoint, Tosin Eniolorunda, said, “Addressing trust issues that have slowed down the adoption of innovative Fintech solutions for economic and financial inclusion can be addressed through public-private collaborations.”
In his remarks, the technical advisor to the president on Economic and Financial Inclusion, Dr. Nurudeen Zauro, explained that the gathering will eventually evolve into a mechanism that will provide relevant information to the Office of the Vice President to facilitate effective decision-making for economic and financial inclusion.
The high-level engagement resulted in various recommendations covering rules, infrastructure, and coordination, with a focus on implementable actions and clear accountabilities.
Other speakers at the event included Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun; executive director of the Center for Curriculum Development and Learning (CCDL) at George Washington University, Professor Pape Cisse; assistant vice president at Merrill Lynch Wealth Management, Reginald Emordi; regional director for Africa at the Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE), Lars Benson; United States Congresswoman representing Florida’s 20th congressional district, Sheila Cherfilus-McCorme.
