Diamond Bank Plc has re-ward to undergraduates with N1.2 million for operating customised savings accounts.
The accounts, the bank said, exposed students to the huge benefits that savings and financial prudence offer in competitive adult life.
The winners emerged through an online electronic draw, which was conducted among students and Youth Corps members who have Student-With-A-Goal (SWAG) accounts with the bank since the campaign for PocketMoney4AYear kicked off.
The draws were witnessed by journalists, students and selected Youth Corps members serving in Lagos State.
Each winner will receive N10,000 PocketMoney4AYear monthly which could be drawn at any Diamond Bank branch.
The SWAG proposition is a customised bank account that fits into and enhances the lifestyle needs, culture of learning and freedom of the student and youth corps member that has a goal for the future.
Product Manager, Diamond S.W.A.G, Chinenye Nwosu, said the initiative is designed to ensure that all account holders have a guaranteed sum deposited in their accounts every month, stressing that PocketMoney4AYear is a lifestyle- based savings account targeted at students of tertiary institutions and corps members under the Diamond S.W.A.G proposition.
However, where this is not practicable, customers shall be duly informed by the deployer while the helpdesk contacts are adequately displayed at the ATM terminals.
He said at the minimum, a telephone line should be dedicated for fault reporting and such telephone line shall be functional and manned at all times that the ATM is operational.
Individuals and organisations whose activities increased awareness about health, safety and environment (HSE) have been rewarded with plaques and certificates of excellence. It was at the maiden Nigerian Safety Award organised by Safety Record magazine held at the Oriental Hotels Lagos.
The aim of the award was to increase safety awareness among the citizens and at work places.
Industry professionals from local and multinational companies witnessed the event, where HSE practitioners and companies were honoured for initiating strategic actions and policies to prevent work-place accidents and occupational hazards.
The event began with a red-carpet session, where health and safety professionals interacted with the media on their activities in the past years.
Later, members of panel of judges, who are HSE experts from various professional bodies, including Nigerian Institute of Safety Professionals (ISPON) and Society of Occupational and Environmental Health Physicians of Nigeria (SOEHPON), among others, arrived.
Each of the judges has more than 20 years of experience in health, safety and environment.
The chairman of the judges’ panel, Dr. Bamisayo Olagbemi, said the award came at a time statutory framework was needed to revive safety culture in the country. Recognising efforts made by safety practitioners to reduce hazards in work places and public spaces, he said, would encourage more individual actions and organisational co-operation.
“There is power in recognition and compensation. If efforts of people and companies are being recognised and rewarded as it is being done today, such gesture will encourage them to initiate more actions to change the thinking of people and bring culture of safety to their consciousness,” he said.
Olagbemi, a public health and industrial hygiene expert, described the entries submitted by companies and the safety practitioners as impressive, noting that awareness about safety in industries could improve steadily if companies’ managements were rewarded for their support and co-operation.
The publisher of Safety Record, Alhaji Lateef Alebiosu, said the award would sustain the successes recorded and raise safety awareness among workers, with the aim of ensuring accident-free society. The honour would not only strengthen companies’ safety policies, Alebiosu said, it would also encourage actions that would enhance public safety and reduce the rate of occupational accidents recorded yearly.
He said increased awareness about safety and occupational hazards had caused government and companies’ managements to introduce drastic regulations to reduce rate of accidents in public space and industries.
He said: “Safety awareness has picked up in the country in period, compared with what we used to have some 20 years back. We still want to push up the level of awareness to ensure that everybody, including school children, housewives, market women, drivers, industry professionals and the road users, is conscious of the need to maintain safety in all endeavours.”
Highpoint of the event was presentation of awards, during which individuals and several organisations were adjudged to be the best in different fields.
Oando Nigeria Plc won the Best Practice in Oil and Gas (Upstream) Award, Exxon Mobil was adjudged the best in downstream sector, while Ikeja Electric won the award for the Best HSE Practice in Power Sector.
Also, Mr Jamiu Badmos and Mrs Monica Nwosu won the awards for Health and Safety Champion. Many others, including organisations, were given commendation awards.
Badmos described the award as a reward for his professionalism, saying the feat would challenge him to do more to ensure safety in public arena and work places.
Startimes Nigeria has concluded arrangements to celebrate its fifth year in the country with ‘Win a Trip’ promo where 10 lucky customers will travel to Germany to watch German league matches, as the grand prize winners.
Subsequently, the pay TV station, to further provide contents to their viewers, has signed a five-year deal for the exclusive right to air German Bundesliga matches in Nigeria for the next five seasons.
The public relations and communication manager, Startimes, Mr Isreal Bolaji disclosed this at a press parley where he said “overall, 360 winners across the country would be picked and rewarded at the raffle draws”.
Bolaji said the promo is a way to reward their customers for their loyalty to the brand and would start on July 18 through to September 30 as there would be four draws during the duration of the promo.
“StarTimes is not just satisfying and bringing affordable digital entertainment to every household in Nigeria, but also ensuring they get rewarded for their patronage over the years”, he said.
To qualify for the raffle draws, the Marketing Manager, Mr Habeed Somoye said “all our customers need do is to recharge for two months on any bouquet they are and the interesting thing is that all customers will get 50 per cent discount on the second month’s recharge, thereby all customers are winners”.
Explaining the process, Somoye said “for a customer on basic bouquet which is N1, 200, two months subscription should be N2, 400, but it will be N1,800 as the 50 per cent discount on the second month has been effected”.
He said customers on all the four plans are eligible to participate in the promo as the minimum recharge of N1,800 qualifies any subscriber into the draws.
He said customers on Nova bouquet which is N600, can also participate as the minimum recharge of N1,800,which should be three months on the bouquet and that will last for four months, allowing them to benefit from the promo.
“Inevitably, not only the 360 lucky customers are winners but all our customers are, as each subscriber gets something in return upon recharging”, he added.
Somoye said “350 customers will get consolation prizes, 100 will go home with 2.5 kva generators,200 will win Startimes Solar phones and 50 others will get Startimes 40 inches LED TV, making it 360 major winners in total”.
The content Manager, Mr Ayokunle Idowu said more sports channels will be added to the existing ones in lieu of the partnership with the German league to satisfy their customers.
On the issue of poor quality in terms of service delivery, Idowu said “external cables are now included in any purchase with the internal cable that was formerly included stopped, as research reveals that some customers do not explain how they want to setup to get advice on the modalities involved so that viewers on either DTT or DSH can get value for their money”.
The Federal Inland Revenue Service’s (FIRS) newly inaugurated leadership has shown early, its desire to broaden its tax dragnet. This is a welcome development at a period of drastic reduction in oil revenue for the nation due to drop in oil prices. And to achieve this goal, the service is reportedly planning incentives for firms and individuals that voluntarily come forward to pay their taxes.
Samuel Ogungbesan, newly appointed Acting Executive Chairman, FIRS at a media parley in Abuja a few days after assuming office said: “The duty of every Nigerian at the 1st of January is to go to the tax office and pick a form and assess himself. We are undergoing a self-assessment tax regime at the moment. There is a continuum we call compliance continuum. These are those who are complying, and there are those at the extreme end who, no matter what action you take, no matter the intervention, no matter the encouragement, they still will not comply. And in-between, there is a hybrid – a mix.’’ He continued: ‘‘so, in between, we have to develop a strategy. So, for those who are complying, our posture is that we will continue to support them; we may even go to the point of giving them concession such as one per cent bonus for complying. They need to be recognised as examples for tax administration. For those who need help and are not able to comply because they don’t understand, we will support them with tax education and assistance in any form until we get to the extreme ones.”
Nigerians no doubt have a particularly endemic habit of tax evasion. And this is rampant in the largely uncoordinated informal sector where people make millions everyday without bothering to give back to government from what they have made. Yet most organised countries fund most of their spending from taxes. Nigeria should not be an exception if she truly desires to meet up with her financial obligations to self and to the citizenry in the face of dwindling oil fortune.
This is why we are happy that Ogungbesan is already planning to create a bonus regime for voluntary taxpayers and also begin an engagement process with all taxpayers to secure confidence rather than embark on unyielding pursuit of the old regime of closing businesses and taking tax evaders to court. The new FIRS order should also see how to make the best of the existing tax initiatives, including the Tax Identification Number System and the voluntary tax assessment system.
We strongly believe that the FIRS as a money generating institution can still do more for the country by injecting significant transparency into its operations. We are particularly bothered that the service could still not effectively address the challenges of multiplicity of taxation on institutions and the people in general. Perhaps, Nigeria remains the only country where such a thing is happening simply because taxation process is not well streamlined between federal and state governments.
More importantly, the service yearly declares trillions of naira as taxes collected from institutions and individuals. Yet, the impact of the collected taxes is not felt, thereby creating doubts in the minds of the people regarding the whole essence of taxation. This is without prejudice to some state governments that have really deployed taxes collected from their jurisdictions to better use.
The new initiatives of FIRS are good but, more people and institutions would be encouraged to voluntarily pay taxes if accountability is accorded a pride of place; and when money collected as taxes is deployed to the benefit of the greatest number of Nigerians.
Staff of the Industrial Training Fund have been rewarded for their hard work at a carnival-like occasion in Jos, reports YUSUFU AMINU IDEGU
Reward has come for some hard-working staff of the Industrial Training Fund (ITF). And it came at a carnival-like atmosphere at the Fund’s headqarters, Jos, the Plateau State capital.
The management and staff turned up in their best attires. The premises also reflected the mood. Colourful decorations hung everywhere, in sync with the well-dressed staff.
Entertainers were just as colourfully clad. Drummers thumped their decorated drums with as much zest as the mood demanded.
And to top it off, dedicated workers were called out and presented with awards. They reached out and collected their prizes with thanks and a smile.
The annual occasion is called the end-of-year party, though it sometimes takes place in December, January or even February. This year’s edition was different, coming even later, in late March.
•ITF staff at the event
ITF staff look forward to it because it often leaves them with long-lasting memories such as the merit award, of which every staff is a potential winner. There is an award for the oldest staff, one for the most active department, another for the most dedicated and committed staff, not to mention the various prizes for individual performances.
Renowned cultural troupes usually entertain the crowd. This year, it was the state troupe which thrilled the audience.
The award has placed ITF as one of government parastatals with efficiency in administration because the staff are conscious of the fact that the management are taking record of their individual inputs and are duly rewarded.
The Fund’s supervisory minister, being that of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment usually attends the feast, but in this year’s edition, the Minister of State, Kenneth Kobani was the special guest of honour, though he was represented by the Permanent Secretary, Dr. Abdulkadir Musa.
In his opening remarks, Dr. Musa said, “I am delighted and honoured to have been invited by the Industrial Training Fund, today on the occasion of the 2014 Annual Review and Merit Award Celebration. As you may be aware, I was sworn in as Minister of State for Industry, Trade and Investment early this week. This event is therefore my first official function since being sworn in.
“I am deeply pleased that my first function would be to join one of the most important parastatals under my purview, whose strides have contributed in no small measure to the realisation of the Transformation Agenda of President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan (GCFR).
“We are all familiar with the unemployment situation in the country despite the laudable strategies of the Federal Government through initiatives such as National Enterprise Development Programme, the Nigeria Industrial Revolution Plan, the Jobs Board, the MSME Committee the National Automotive Policy and through the committed efforts of Agencies such as the Industrial Training Fund.
“I have been briefed about the mandate by Mr. President for the Industrial Training Fund to train 2 million Nigerians annually. I am equally aware of the achievements the ITF has recorded in the National Industrial Skills Development Programme, which has trained over 72,000 Nigerians in only two years; and other numerous initiatives by the ITF that are all geared towards creating jobs.
“These are indeed commendable accomplishments but fall short when weighed against the President’s ambition of creating 3 million jobs annually for teeming Nigerians that are employed.
“For the ITF to fully implement its mandate, all hands need to be on deck. On our part as the supervising Ministry, we promise to assist the ITF in all areas particularly in the area of training for job creation and entrepreneurship
“In charge of ITF is a woman, the Director General and Chief Executive, Dr. (Mrs.) Juliet Chukkas-Onaeko. She used just few words to describe the event. In her welcome address, she said the merit award ceremony is an important date on the ITF calendar.”
She added, “It provides us the platform to render an in-depth account of how we fared as an organization in the out-gone year, and also recognize and reward stakeholders and members of the workforce, whose outstanding corporate and individual contributions were critical to our achievements.”
The DG, as usual, used the event to talk on the task before ITF, saying:
“This very event is my first Merit Award Ceremony as Director-General of the ITF, having assumed duty in May, 2014. Our mandate from the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR when I was appointed, was to train 2 million Nigerians annually. Mr. President’s charge was informed by unemployment surveys that indicated that 23.9 percent of our population of about 167 million was unemployed; with youth unemployment reported to be over 50 per cent.
“Year 2014 was therefore an eventful one for the ITF as the new Management under me was navigating the teething problems associated with all new leaderships as well striving to actualize the Presidential charge and implement ITF’s mandate.
“Rather than being overwhelmed, these expectations and challenges motivated us to performance levels perhaps not equaled in the history of ITF. One key factor that played in our favour was the Four-point Agenda which was rolled out by Management. Perhaps the first in the history of the ITF, the 4-point Agenda which includes: escalation of the number of Nigerians trained to 2 million annually, full automation of ITF business processes, ensure 100 percent levy generation, and ensure 100 percent implementation of SIWES, was not only intended to ensure effective service delivery that will add value to the bottom line of our esteemed clients’ operations and guarantee full actualization of our mandate but also serve as our guiding beacon. The 4-Point Agenda played no small part in our accomplishments in 2014.
“ITF recorded landmark achievements in all key result areas, especially in Technical Vocational Skills, Management and Entrepreneurship Training
The mandate of the Industrial Training Fund, as we are all aware, is to generate a pool of qualified indigenous manpower to man the critical sectors of the Nigerian economy. In actualising this mandate, the Fund provides training in Technical Vocational Skills, Management and Entrepreneurship.
“Against the backdrop of the Presidential charge and other job creation initiatives of the Federal Government, the ITF in 2014 escalated efforts in skills acquisition in order to equip Nigerians with skills for employability and entrepreneurship.
“Apart from imparting skills to Nigerians through Industrial Skills Training Centres located in Kano, Ikeja and Jos and the Model Skills Training Centre in Abuja, the ITF implemented the National Industrial Skills Development Programme (NISDP) in liaison with Federal Ministry of Trade and Investment, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN) and the Bank of Industry (BOI). The programme which is the hard skills component of the Nigeria Industrial Revolution Plan has so far trained 74,000 Nigerians. In 2013 alone, the ITF through the Programme trained 37,000 youths from the 36 States of the Federation and the FCT in several trade and craft areas including Welding and Fabrication, ICT and Autotrornics, Fisheries, Yam, Cassava and Rice Processing, Tiling, Plaster of Paris (POP) and Plumbing, Tailoring and Garment-making, as well as Cell Phone and Generator Repairs.
She stated further, “In 2014, the scope of the programme was expanded as it rolled out simultaneously in the 36 States and the FCT; a deviation from the first three phases when trainees from selected States were trained at a given time. Our projections are that beginning from 2015, several phases of the programme would run in a given year.
“As further indication of our commitment to meet Mr. President mandate, the ITF, in conjunction with the Nigerian Employers’ Consultative Association (NECA) continued with its Technical Skills Development Project (TSDP) using facilities of NECA member companies including the Peugeot Automobile Nigeria, Kaduna; Niger Dock, Lagos; OCO Industries, Port Harcourt; Nigerian Breweries Plc, Ibadan and the Fund’s ISTCs in Ikeja and Kano. The Project has already graduated 2,300 trainees, most of who were employed on graduation. Due to high demand of its graduates, the project has been expanded to include A.G. Leventis Agricultural School, Ilesha, and Kamjay Farms, Lekki, Lagos. It will be further expanded this year.
“The ITF has also entered into collaboration with Cement Technology Institute of Nigeria (CTIN) for the training of 350 Artisans and Craftsmen in the Construction Industry in each State of the Federation and the FCT. The training, which has already commenced, will perhaps mark the end of paucity of skilled artisans in the construction industry.
“In addition, as part of our effort to drive the National Automotive Policy, the ITF has entered in to collaboration with SENAI of Brazil. One aspect of the collaboration will be the establishment of 3 Automobile Parts Training Centres in Nigeria. The Centres, which will come on stream soon, will serve the dual purpose of producing parts to supply over 22 companies that have already commenced production or have indicated interested to investment in the Nigerian Automobile sector and also train Nigerians in production of Automobile spare parts. This will reduce our current dependence on imported auto parts and create employment.
“In order to further open up access for Nigerians willing to acquire skills, the ITF has produced 4 Mobile Training Units from Brazil. Six others are still being expected even as plans are also underway to establish 38 new Industrial Skills Training Centres and 6 Centres of Advanced Skills Training for Employment.
“The ITF is also leading Nigeria’s inaugural participation in the World Skills Competition which is slated for Brazil later this year. The World Skills competition, which started in 1947, is designed to motivate the youth to compete; to make them enthusiastic about vocational training and to compare skills and abilities of people from different countries. Despite its growing popularity with countries around the globe; Nigeria did not participate until now. The build up and participation in the Competition will serve to further sensitise Nigerians on the need for skills acquisition.
“Overall, the Fund performed creditably in its training activities in 2014 as it implemented a total of 13,044 training programmes that attracted 237,561 participants from 5,815 public and private organisations. The Fund also implemented 699 Special Intervention Programmes. Of the number trained, 202,460 now are gainfully employed while 5000 are now owners of their business. It is noteworthy that 16,211 of the Special Intervention Programmes were women”
The DG expressed delight in what ITF has been able to do to motivate their staff.
“It is a known fact that staff that are happier are more productive. It is also common knowledge that you cannot give what you do not have. Against this realisation therefore, the ITF within the period under review sponsored a total of 1,108 staff on staff development. The breakdown is as follows: Part Time programs – 14, International programs – 242, Long Term staff development programs – 27, Short Term programmes – 821, and Internship – 4.
“To further motivate the workforce, 78 staff were rewarded with Long Service Awards. Management also approved a total of N45,761,656.25, which was disbursed to 56 staff as motor vehicle and Housing loans. Within the same period, a total 549 staff were promoted to various grades- 248 from CONRAISS 2 – 6, 257 from CONRAISS 6 – 11, and 44 CONRAISS 12 and above just as Management initiated processes for the review of the Fund’s existing condition of service.
