  • Two remanded for fraudulent sale of property

    Members of a syndicate which specialise in fraudulent sale of property in Ekiti State have been charged to court by the police.

    They were arraigned before Chief Magistrate R. A. Adegboye of an Ekiti State Chief Magistrate’s Court  in Ado-Ekiti.

    The suspects, Pastor Akintoye Joseph, Ogundipe Sunday and others at large  are facing a three-count charge bordering on conspiracy, false pretence and conduct likely to breach public peace.

    According to the police, the suspects  allegedly conspired to sell a “building at  1, Ijigbo Street, Mugbagba , Ado Ekiti, property of the late Idris Omole for  N7million, without the consent of the family”.

    They pleaded not guilty to the offences.

    The accused were granted bail of N250,000 and two sureties.

    The judge ordered them to be remanded in prison, until they are able to meet their bail conditions.

    The case has been adjourned till January 11, next year.

  • CBN to blacklist fraudulent bank customers

    CBN to blacklist fraudulent bank customers

    The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is working on a framework that will, before year-end, enable it to blacklist or watch-list fraudulent bank customers across the country’s banking space.

    CBN Director, Banking and Payment ’Dipo Fatokun broke the news at the Nigeria Electronic Fraud Forum (NeFF) October meeting in Lagos at the weekend.

    He said the framework, when unveiled, would give the regulator the legal backing to use the Bank Verification (BVN) platform to identify, watch-list and blacklist fraudulent account holders in all the 22 banks and Other Financial Institutions (OFIS).

    According to him, the framework, which is at the final stage of its approval, would soon be sent to the Committee of Governors of the Central Bank for examination and exposure to the banking industry.

    “It is a policy issue and therefore, has to go to the Committee of Governors of the Central Bank, which will look at it and do an industry exposure. These will be completed, hopefully, before the end of the year,” he assured.

    Data from the CBN showed that although e-fraud rate in terms of value dropped by 63 per cent last year, after the BVN introduction and improved collaboration among banks via the fraud desks, the total fraud volume rose significantly by 683 per cent within the year compared to 2014 figures.

    Also, the country experienced a total of 3,500 cyber-attacks with 70 per cent success rate and loss of $450 million within the last one year mainly through cross channel fraud, data theft, e-mail spooling, phishing, shoulder surfing and underground websites.

    Fatokun explained that one common thing about electronic fraud was that when money is moved fraudulently from one account to another, it could easily be traced.

    “And so, identifying the owner of that fraudulent bank account using the BVN, will not only be able to identify him or her in the bank he has moved the money to, we also identify him in all the banks where he has accounts.

    “And when legal impediments are overcome, such people could be blacklisted, or watch-listed in the banking system. That will also assist us to a great deal, in curbing the menace of fraudsters,” he said.

    The CBN director, who spoke on the theme: “Exploring new protective measures against social engineering vulnerabilities”, said social engineering has common phenomenon in cybercrime attacks in Nigeria.

    “Almost on a daily basis, a plethora of messages are sent by these criminals with the express intent to con the unsuspecting recipient using techniques that appeal to vanity, greed or authority. It is, therefore, important that we look critically at measures that will protect the industry as a whole from the menace of social engineering attacks.

    “It is often said that people, processes and technology are the tripod on which cybersecurity lies, with discussion ever hovering on which is the weakest link. I must however submit that like what is required in building any chain, we must prepare to forge each link with the same degree of heat – in other words, no link must be too important or less significant in the pursuit of payments security.”

    On the implications of such blacklisting on customers, he explained that for commercial banks, opening an account or having a bank account itself is a contract.

    “It is a contract between a willing customer and a willing bank. So, if a bank notices that a particular customer is fraudulent, or is a criminal, the bank has the right to get out of the contract. And another implication is that if an account is watch-listed, when the framework is finally approved, if there is a credit into that account and every other person is having his credit within two to three minutes, because the account has been watch-listed based on past activities, credit into such account may be withheld for a longer period while investigations are carried on to actually confirm that it is a genuine transfer,” he stated.

    These steps, Fatokun said, would assist the bank, because being able to identify, apprehend and prosecute would go a long way in reducing the problem of electronic fraud.

    On prosecution and apprehension, he said the NeFF is working with the police to create a dedicated electronic payment and card crime unit, which when operational, would help reduce further, electronic fraud.

    He said the operationalisation of a dedicated e-Payment and Card Crime Unit in the Nigeria Police will enable a greater effort in NeFF’s quest to successfully investigate and bring to book through effective and efficient prosecution of cyber-criminals.

  • Ministry cautions officials over fraudulent activities

    The Ministry of Mines and Steel Development has reiterated its commitment and determination to plug all revenue leakages and improve revenue generation from the mining sector.

    The assurance came against the back drop of criminal activities of some officials of the ministry which was uncovered recently by the underground taskforce team set up by the ministry for that purpose.

    The suspects have now been handed over to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for further investigation.

    To this end, the ministry has issued a stern warning to all concerned, especially perpetrators of  illegal mining activities and their collaborators, within the industry and outside, that acts capable of jeopardising the economic diversification efforts of Government will be met with stiff penalties.

    It warns that criminal activities bordering on revenue diversion, under-payment, under-assessment and under- reporting will be treated as economic sabotage and perpetrators would be visited with the full weight of the law.

  • Discos’ corrupt and fraudulent bills

    SIR: Recently, it was in the news that Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN), Minister for Power, Works and Housing has approved increases in tariff charges on electricity unit by the respective distribution companies (Discos) ranging from 45% to over 65% without considering its impact on inflation bedeviling the economy and fairness and equity on the consumers. There is no gainsaying the fact that the discos have been abusing and exploiting Nigerians and the system to milk Nigerians dry with shameless impunity. Nigerians have the capacity to vehemently demand that this over-estimation stop now and should so demand. When the Nigerian exploiters with their foreign collaborators acquired our collective assets in the power sector at prices that were ridiculously less than 10 percent of their value, little did patriotic Nigerians know that the greed of the very few would be a dirty source of pain to fellow Nigerians and responsible organizations.

    It is trite that building power infrastructure is long term and capital intensive and usually yields long term return. It takes above an average of five years to begin to earn revenue. But in the case of these discos, they started earning revenue right from the first day of acquisition of our collective power assets. Even the disputed estimated bills of PHCN were carried over and debited to consumers even when the discos claimed they did not acquire PHCN liabilities but only infrastructural assets.

    There are three categories of the discos’ customers. The first are those with pre-paid meters. The second are those with analogue meters and the third category are those the discos refused to meter and are corruptly, fraudulently and criminally served monthly with over estimated bills usually over 12 times in most cases their actual electricity consumption. Take my case for example: I consume less than 40 units of electricity per month but Ikeja Electric serves me with a fraudulently over-estimated bill of average 480 units as monthly bill. So I am compelled to pay for what I consume for 13 months as my one month bill. For one year, I have paid for 13 years in advance! The same is true for almost every customer of the discos on what they call estimated customers.  All of these unfortunate electricity consumers have paid in advance for between five to 13 years every year since the discos were sold out in November 2013. This of course is the dirty height of corruption and corporate stealing.

    From the above, you will discover that the argument by the Minister that the discos are not making profit is a lie and grand conspiracy to continue to defraud the category of unmetered electricity consumers. The discos have not invested on any visible infrastructure in my area within Mowo Kekere/ Ijede Road axis of Ikorodu in Lagos State and as a result only one transformer still serves over 600 houses that have resulted in very erratic power supply and very  low voltage that have damaged our domestic equipment. I know the same scenario is true in most areas too.

    To justly resolve this issue of fraudulently over-estimated billing system that is very corrupt by any assessment, the Minister and Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) will be doing the right thing to immediately direct the discos to stop the estimated billing of electricity consumers that the discos refused to allocate meters and also to cancel the bloated amount on their respective bills effective February 1, 2016 by not further issuing bills to this category of consumers until they are metered since they have all paid bills in advance of between five and 13 years every other year. This is the only solution to the terrible corporate stealing that is being forced down the throat of the average electricity consumer in this country by the discos.

  • Kerosene price hike is fraudulent -NLC president

    Kerosene price hike is fraudulent -NLC president

    Sampson Unamka cornered the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Comrade Ayuba Wabba who was in Lagos at the weekend for the NLC National Executive Council (NEC) meeting where he spoke on moves by the organised labour to resist the kerosene price hike among other issues. Excerpts:

    What is the NLC going to do over the removal of subsidy from kerosene?

    Frankly speaking, I doubt whether there is still an existing subsidy with the current market price of crude oil, because the price nosedived, as such, our conclusion is that we’re not sure that what they did was even removal of subsidy. What they did was outright price adjustment because the template which they displayed on their website after 24 hours that template was actually withdrawn. The template would have allowed us to be able to interrogate what parameters were used to do the price adjustment.

    But the truth is that with the current global price of crude oil, we should even be paying lower than what they have come up with at the moment. So, it’s clear that it is just a price increase and what we have kept on saying is that there is still a lot of element of corruption in the system even in Pipeline and Products Marketing Company (PPMC) itself. So what we’re calling subsidy in Nigeria, is actually corruption and why I say so is because if you look at the current price, Nigerians are suppose to pay less but what they did instead is that we’re now paying more due to corrupt practices. They have transferred the burden now to the larger Nigerian citizens.

    So I can say clearly that I’m not sure with the current fall in global oil price, Nigerians are supposed to pay lower. In many countries, people are paying lower, what they are trying to call subsidy now is because of the fact that one we’re basing our argument on importation. This importation will be in dollars and they have already devalued our currency. So it’s just this element of corruption that they are transferring to all of us and therefore one of the processes of adjusting the price of kerosene is not transparently done because there is no template. If you go to their website now, you will find out that there is no template, so what basis have they used that we can actually interrogate to see whether there is even any subsidy or not. The one they did for Petroleum Motor Spirit (PMS), where they removed 50 kobo, if you look at the template carefully it’s one of the components that they removed and that is what they call removal of subsidy.

    So are you saying there is no subsidy removal?

    What they did with kerosene is like testing the waters. I believe the price increase is in agreement with the prescription of the International Monetary Fund which favours price modulation system. So, I won’t be surprised that once the price of product goes beyond $46 to the barrel, we are sure that what they would do is to adjust the price and transfer the burden to Nigerians. What we’re therefore saying is that instead of transferring this component of corruption to Nigerians why not make the process transparent?

    I believe that if there is a transparent process in place, Nigerians should be paying less under the current dispensation. There is continuous funding of crude oil import in many parts of the world. But because of inherent corruption in the system, which we discovered in the aftermath of the 2012 subsidy scam, clearly we now know that both the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, the PPMC and some oil marketers cannot isolate themselves from the mess we’re in right now. So those are issues that I think should form public opinion in responding to this issue.

    From all indication, the price hike is already a fait accompli. So what is the organised labour going to do about it?

    Our respond here today clearly is the fact that we don’t believe that the issue of subsidy on kerosene still exists with the current pricing. Having said that, we believe with the current price of oil globally, Nigerians are supposed to pay less. What they merely did was to adjust price upwards without any template, if there is template let them make it available so that Nigerians can be able to see. Therefore, our respond is that Nigerians and all of us have agreed that we’re going on intensive mobilisation to sensitise Nigerians on this ill policy, which the government is trying to use as bait. We believe this is obviously trying to shift the goal post of transparently operating the system.

    If you look at the 2012 episode, it’s clear that what they claim is subsidy is monumental corruption that was put together. And what they want to do now is that without even sanitising the system, they want to put this entire component and add it up such that consumers will continue to pay more. For me, I think that is a bitter-pill they want Nigerians to continue to swallow. But I believe the most decent thing to do is to ensure that they system is cleaned up. All we’re saying is that let us know what is the landing cost of a litre of petroleum and then we can begin to work and see how best this challenge can also be addressed.

    Besides, the excuse they have continuously given is that we’re importing fuel from Europe. We know for sure that if we have crude oil here and we have refineries within the shore of West Africa that can also be used to refine products and bring it back so the issue of freight would have reduced with lots of other tax components reduced and ultimately the price will reduce. But they have consistently relied on import from Europe as such this has helped to jack up pricing template and the component prices so that Nigerians will continue to pay more.

    So I believe that the economics of fuel import as we have now is to satisfy the interest of those marketers and those importers. If you look at the policy carefully, it’s protecting their interest not protecting the interest of the larger consumers. And for me, it is more worrisome that policies of government which should be in favour of the poor and the most vulnerable who cannot afford to even pay more is favouring a few clique in the society. We have looked at the issues squarely and seen the challengesand our conclusion at NLC is that we reject the increase and we’re going out to actually mobilise and then come up with an appropriate respond strategy, effective from today (Friday).

    There are claims that the NLC was part of those who benefitted from the N9.2billion kerosene stove largess under the immediate past administration of President Goodluck Jonathan?

    On the issue of distribution of the kerosene stoves by the past administration, I make bold to say we were not part of it and NLC have not been directly involved in any issue of that stuff. It should be people that I think have used that opportunity to advance their interests. But NLC directly have not been part of managing any stuff or any kerosene issue.

     

  • ‘eID Card will stem fraudulent activities’

    ‘eID Card will stem fraudulent activities’

    As part of the pilot phase, NIMC has started to issue identify cards with MasterCard’s electronic payments functionality, which raised eyebrows among stakeholders in the IT and financial sectors of the economy.

    Speaking in Lagos during a media roundtable, Director General, NIMC, Chris Onyemenam, said the eID Card is capable of detecting fraudulent activities, adding that MasterCard was engaged to only provide the payments technology on the eID, in accordance with international standard.

    He explained that the commission hopes to register about 100 million Nigerians, adding that what NIMC is doing is identity management, to avoid duplication of efforts and waste of scarce resources carried out in the past.

    He noted that other agencies of government involved in the capturing of biometrics of Nigerians are merely issuing identity cards and not identity management.

    He pointed out that identity management enables Nigerians to update their biometrics whenever the need arises, as it is a continuous process.

    He said: “We are talking about a situation, for instance, where  as a single lady was enrolled and tomorrow she gets married, she can go to a particular location and update the information about herself.

    “Identity management is about being able to affirm or assert your identity. It is not just about issuance of cards.

    “Cards can be obtained at the road side business centres or cyber cafes. This is not what we are talking about.”

    Onyemenam said a harmonisation, implementation and integration committee has been set up to streamline the data from relevant government agencies such as the Federal Road Safety Commission, the Police, Independent National Electoral Commission, National Population Commission, Nigerian Immigration Service, among others.

    On the funding of the project by the Federal Government, the Director General of NIMC said N30 billion had been released for its initial take-off over a period of three years.

    On  how MasterCard was selected for the programme, the DG said, “MasterCard presented it’s payments solution and business proposal to NIMC for the National eID Card business together with other card schemes and companies. The three popular schemes, approved and licenced by the Central Bank to operate in Nigeria and with significant business relationship with the Nigerian deposit money banks,  we’re invited to submit proposals to NIMC. The most responsive and willing vendors was MasterCard”.

  • FIRS arrests nine for fraudulent recruitment

    FIRS arrests nine for fraudulent recruitment

    The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) has arrested nine persons for fraudulent recruitment. They will be arraigned soon, it was learnt.

    The agency alleged that the suspects used a vast network of websites, e-mail addresses, computers, telephone lines and bank accounts in parts of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to demand and receive money from unsuspecting persons for non-existent jobs.

    Those questioned are Alex Oki, David Kachia, Yakubu Tanko, Mohammed Shuaibu, Kehinde Jamah, Ogbonna Agwu, Aminu Ibrahim, Pascal Ajah and Chris Onyekachi.

    According to the agency, some of the suspects promised to facilitate the promotion of  FIRS officials and sent text messages to spouses, relatives and persons related to FIRS workers.

    They were accused of forging documents, impersonating FIRS officials and those of other ministries, agencies and banks, and soliciting money for the promotion of FIRS workers.

    One of the suspects was said to have sent a text message soliciting payments from senior FIRS workers to facilitate their promotion.

    Items reportedly recovered  were a Toyota Carina II saloon car, complimentary cards, bank deposit slips, among others.

    FIRS, which recently conducted an online promotion examination, which ran simultaneously in locations, said it is not recruiting for now.

    It said: “This is to inform the public that FIRS is neither recruiting nor replacing unfilled positions within its workforce. Anybody submitting his/her CV or applying through any website, responding to SMS on any online medium, social media platforms or in whatever form, for employment with FIRS, is doing so at his or her own risk.

    “Please note that employment into the FIRS will be advertised in national newspapers as well as on the FIRS website www.firs.gov.ng. The public are advised to avoid being deceived or defrauded by unscrupulous and dubious characters.”

  • CBN to enforce zero-tolerance policy on fraudulent borrowers

    CBN to enforce zero-tolerance policy on fraudulent borrowers

    The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) said it will pursue and enforce zero tolerance policy on fraudulent borrowers by enhancing the operation of credit bureaux and establishing a National Credit Scoring System for the financial sector.

    Its Governor, Godwin Emefiele, who disclosed this yesterday at the Finance Correspondents and Business Editors conference in Kaduna, said such exercises remain viable means of ensuring financial stability and achieving growth in the sector.

    Represented by its Head of Research, Charles Mordi, the governor said the apex bank is equally committed to strengthening the risk-base supervision framework for the banking system.

    He said the Financial System Strategy (FSS) 2020, which is part of the Vision 20: 2020 initiative of the Federal Government is aimed at developing a coherent and internally consistent blueprint for the financial system. Such, he said, would help in achieving the vision to make the country, a major international financial hub, and one of the top 20 largest economies in the world by 2020.

    The CBN boss, however, said the key indicator in determining the pace of growth of any economy remained the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which is the standard measure of the value of final goods and services produced in the country by firms, government and households within a specific time.

    He explained that overtime, changes in the structure of the economy as well as pattern of relative prices in the base period could render the GDP irrelevant as a gauge of economic activities in a given year.

    Emefiele said to ensure that GDP indicator approximates economic realities of the period, statisticians needed to review the weights assigned to the various component sectors that make up the GDP in the base period. This, scenario, he said, makes it imperative to update the base period, a process commonly refered to as ‘rebasing’.

    He said data from the Nigeria Bureau of Statistics shows that real GDP stands at 1990 basic prices with 19-year lag considering 2010 as new base year. He said this lag poses a significant challenge in recording the accurate economic realities over a period of time.

    “It was discovered that within the 19-year lag, tremendous growth was recorded in the telecommunication, information technology and distributive trade sectors of the economy. It will therefore be unrealistic to stick to the 1999 base year figures given such structural changes and changes in price structure over these years,” he said.

    He said the CBN has incorporated unemployment as a target variable in the monetary policy formulation. This, he added, has exposed the scope of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) target variables beyond the conventional price and financial stability to include gauging the misery indices of poverty and unemployment.

    He said the CBN will, henceforth, target employment-generating sectors like agriculture, Small and Medium Enterprise (SMEs), oil and gas, power and health sectors as such would confront the weak production sectors, and the embarrassing youth unemployment and huge infrastructure gap.

  • Amaechi’s govt is fraudulent, says Wike

    Amaechi’s govt is fraudulent, says Wike

    •Says governor’s bid to remove him as minister failed
    •Minister is an empty vessel— Amaechi

     

    The Minister of State for Education, Chief Nyesom Wike, has described Rotimi Amaechi’s government in Rivers State as fraudulent. He asked the governor to pack and go and that he is no longer sleeping, as he (Wike) promised him.

    He also declared that he would not allow Amaechi, who is also the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF), to open a secretariat of the parallel Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State, not even in Government House, Port Harcourt.

    Wike, a two-term Chairman of Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State, stressed that Amaechi is not God and cannot be God, while teasing him that the condition he gave President Goodluck Jonathan to remove him as a minister did not work.

    He stated these yesterday evening at the playground of the Girls’ Secondary School, Abonnema of Kalabari Kingdom, the headquarters of the coastal Akuku-Toru LGA of River state, at the LGA and Wards (17) inauguration of the Grassroots Development Initiative (GDI), of which Wike is the grand patron.

    There was a thanksgiving service earlier at the same venue, with the minister of state for education, whom sources said would soon be made a senior minister, arriving the venue at 4:41 pm, in an Aero helicopter, marked BN-BHG, which left immediately.

    Wike immediately proceeded to the nearby palace of the Amanyanabo (monarch) of Abonnema, King Gbobo Disrael Bobmanuel, on a courtesy visit, with the royal father asking the minister to give the ancient town a federal secondary school.

    The minister of state for education returned to the playground at 5:41 pm for the inauguration, while the chopper returned at 5:50 pm, but had to wait till the end of the programme.

    Wike, a former Chief of Staff, Government House, Port Harcourt, was also the Director-General of the Amaechi Campaign Organisation in 2011, before being appointed as a minister, while he and Amaechi are both Ikwerre.

    Earlier on Thursday, the Chief of Staff, Government House, Port Harcourt, Chief Tony Okocha, inaugurated the Rivers secretariat of the New PDP at No. 38, Forces Avenue, old GRA, Port Harcourt, before policemen invaded and sealed off the expansive premises.

    The New PDP secretariat, directly opposite the old GRA Police Station, was the headquarters of Amaechi Campaign Organisation in 2011.

    On Thursday evening, policemen prevented Amaechi and the visiting former speakers from accessing the nearby Government House, through the Forces Avenue.

    Amaechi, through Okocha, in a telephone interview last night, described the minister of state for education as a misfit, empty vessel, intellectually dry, a ragamuffin and playing God.

    Wike said: “Change has come to Rivers State. I will plead with you to join me and say this: ‘Amaechi, you are not God and you cannot be God,’ because you are a tenant. Your house rent has expired and you cannot pay. Pack and go. Tenant, pack and go.

    “Man proposes, God disposes. They thought they could give condition, because of your prayers, all they have done have come to nothing. Help me thank Mr. President, for the confidence he has in me, to keep me back, as a minister in the Federal Executive Council.

    “Continue to support our brother, continue to support our son. Preach the message that come 2015, President Goodluck Jonathan will come back. Continue to support Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.

    “There is only one PDP. Those who said they have two million votes; they are still going for meetings to give conditions. We are not accepting any condition. The only Chairman of this party is Felix Obuah.

    “They wanted to dare us, to see whether we are still in government. We are in government. We are PDP government and nobody can open office of any parallel party in Rivers State. They should go to their Government House. I will not allow them to open it, even in Government House, because their rent has expired.”

    According to him, “Before, they said we were Abuja politicians. Now they are saying we are in Rivers State every week. The politicians have come home. When I told them they would not sleep, they did not understand. Are they sleeping now? You can now see 4-1-9. They have been showing the same model primary school since 2007. 4-1-9 government, pack and go.”

    Amaechi stated that every citizen of Nigeria had the rights of the freedom of association, freedom of speech and the freedom of movement, and that the minister of state for education had no right to restrict the governor’s movement.

    Rivers chief of staff said: “Wike should be told that the new PDP, led by Alhaji Kawu Baraje, has come to stay in Rivers State. There is nothing anybody can do about it. The secretariat of the New PDP has been opened and the party’s flags have been hoisted.

    “Wike has no pedigree. He is a tout. I do not know who is more 4-1-9 than Wike. He awarded to himself, all the contracts under the auspices of Almajiri, using pseudo names, without following due process. He never bothered about the quality or standard of education in Nigeria, but he is concerned about infrastructure to make money. ASUU strike does not concern Wike.

    “Wike, as a lawyer, has never worked in any firm. He has never practised law anywhere in Nigeria. Wike, as the supervising minister of education, is a misfit and appointed in error. Wike is one of the indices to measure a failed state, by putting a square peg in a round hole, when all nations of the world know the importance of qualitative education.

    “Governor Amaechi is not playing God. Wike is the person playing God. What is Wike’s business of campaigning for Rivers 2015 governorship in 2013, when INEC has not lifted ban on campaigns? He is using President Jonathan as a smokescreen. Wike is playing to the gallery, instead of focusing on ASUU strike.”

    The Deputy National Chairman of the PDP, Chief Uche Secondus, in his remarks, stated that change had come to Rivers State, while the Rivers PDP Chairman, Chief Felix Obuah, said there was no cause for alarm, with President Jonathan to be re-elected in 2015.

    The President-General of the GDI, Bright Amaewhule, said members of the Rivers PDP would never be part of the Baraje-led PDP, while the Coordinator of the GDI in Akuku-Toru LGA, George Georgewill, assured that Wike would ensure good governance.
