Super Eagles’ interim Head Coach Samson Siasia, has announced March 21 as the deadline for foreign based Eagles to be in camp for the first leg of the double header of Africa Cup of Nations’ qualifying matches between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and the visiting Pharaohs of Egypt.
He said that it was important for the players to be in camp on time to allow them sufficient time to acclimatize to the hot weather conditions of Kaduna.
He assured that Nigeria would win against Egypt even though the match would be difficult.
“The spirit in camp is very good and everybody is fighting hard to snatch a shirt in the team. We don’t have to wait for the foreign based players to come before starting work. The home based players are professional players too and they are used to the weather here which may be another big deciding factor. If they do well at the training they have a big chance of playing against Egypt.
“So the deadline for the foreign based to come to camp should be March 21 because we will move to Kaduna the next day.
“We have to plan how we play. We don’t want to say everything now because it is a global village and we won’t like to reveal all our secrets and plans to the media. The Team Secretary, Dayo Enebi has been in constant contact with the foreign based players.
“I have also been sending messages to the ones that have been playing, wishing them good luck and injury free match before they play their league matches and they have been responding to the text messages too," he said.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Mr David Babachir Lawal has hinted that James Elegbede, the driver of the Lexus SUV that killed the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Barrister James Ocholi and two members of his family along Abuja-Kaduna road on Sunday may be prosecuted.
The interim report of the Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC indicated that Elegbede was over speeding and had no driver's license
Lawal told State House correspondents after Wednesday's Federal Executive Council, FEC meeting that the final report on the accident would determine if the driver would be prosecuted.
“As to the issue of whether we would prosecute the driver, yes, Nigeria is not short of laws. The problem is that Nigerians find it very difficult to obey the laws.
“There is a speed limit in place and so if anybody chooses not to obey the traffic laws, of course, it is subject to prosecution by the agencies concerned. But as to this
particular incident, I think we will leave it until the final report of the investigation comes out.
“But, of course, as we say, accident is accident and nobody goes out deliberately to summersault and die, but as to allegations you claimed from the family, we are not aware and anybody who has anything to the contrary – that they didn’t die in an accident – is free to report to the law enforcement agencies who will appropriately take it up,” he said.
After 48 years of denial, war-time Head of State, Gen Yakubu Gowon has admitted that he is the father of Musa Gowon.
The development followed confirmation by DNA test.
Over the years, Gowon had denied having a love child with the late Edith Ike-Okongwu.
Musa recently returned to Nigeria after 23 years in a USA jail for drug trafficking.
In a statement he issued yesterday, the former Head of State requested for privacy for the Gowon family.
“Following years of doubt and speculation, a DNA test was conducted to ascertain the paternity of Musa Gowon, who recently returned to the country.
“The results of the tests were conclusive and they confirm his paternity. We, the family, are working to assist in his rehabilitation following a difficult period in his life.
“As we look forward to the future with faith in God, we request that our privacy be respected.”
The Federal Government has inaugurated a 13-man committee to oversee the preparations for the burial of the late Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Barrister James Ocholi, his wife and son.
According to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, the committee comprising ministers, Ocholi's family members and his church members has concluded the burial arrangements as directed by the President.
“As soon as we got his directive, we set up a burial committee comprising 13 people, drawn from government, the family of the deceased and his church.
“After series of meetings, the burial rites will hold from March 16 to18.
“On the March 16, there will be a service of songs at the International Conference Centre Abuja by 7:00 p.m. The corpses will leave Abuja on Thursday.
“A wake keep will be held in his hometown in Dekina Local Government Area of Kogi by 6:00 p.m. same day while the internment will hold by 12:00 p.m. on Friday 18,” he said.
The News Agency of Nigeria, NAN reports that President Muhammadu Buhari signed the condolence register at the end of the FEC meeting, after which the ministers took turns to pay tribute to their fallen colleague.
The Federal Government has announced the offer of employment to two of the four surviving children of the late Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Barrister James Ocholi.
The other two who are still in school were offered scholarships to enable them complete their studies.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF Mr David Babachir Lawal made the announcement at the end of Wednesday's valedictory session of the Federal Executive Council in honour of the late Minister.
“The president has directed that we should find immediate employment for the children of late Ocholi who are of working age.
“He died and left behind four children, two of them are university graduates for whom we will find immediate employments in any parastatal or ministry of their choice.
“Again, the president has directed that the other two children, still of school age, be given scholarships up to university level, after which again they would be given employment in any agency or parastatal of their choice,” he said.
