Governor Eno has displayed a high level of prudence, and selflessness in the pursuit of public good, writes ANIETIE USEN For three days, from December 16 to December 18, 2024, 18 months into his administration, Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State broke new grounds in openness, accountability and transparency in public office. This time, the Governor, in a very transparent and pragmatic approach, hosted what he called the Ministerial Briefing/End of Year Review of his Administration. In a first-of-its-kind town hall-style summit, the Governor, his entire cabinet and critical agencies, brought their annual performance report openly before a cross-section of political and business leaders in the State, along with the leadership of the media, labour and civil liberty organisations. The idea was not only to subject his annual performance to public scrutiny and evaluation, or carry along these critical stakeholders in the next steps of the government, but more importantly to seek their inputs and buy-in into the plans and goals of the government from Day One of 2025. Prince Enobong Uwa, the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), in his opening remark at the occasion called it “bottom-up” approach. In a well-tailored approach designed to accomplish specific deliverables, every head of MDA did not only present their report cards for the outgoing 2024 but their programmes and goals for 2025 and beyond. In the process, all leaders of MDAs also laid bare before stakeholders their leadership skills and grasp of issues under their watches. There was no doubt whatsoever in the minds of stakeholders that the Governor himself was on top of his game, as his depth and insight into every aspect of his government were profound and second-to-none. From the land, air, and sea gateways of the State economy, Governor Eno demonstrated uncommon managerial acumen that compelled and assured stakeholders that the ship of State in Akwa Ibom is in good hands. As the world grapples with the challenges of corruption, malfeasance, and pervassive wrongdoings in the public sector, the importance of transparency and accountability in governance has never been more pressing. From the Nordic countries’ exemplary open-government initiatives to Brazil’s innovative use of e-governance to track public spending, nations around the world are demonstrating that transparency and accountability are essential ingredients for good governance, economic prosperity, and social justice. This is what delighted Akwa Ibom stakeholders most about Governor Eno’s government and leadership style, which is simultaneously attracting national attention. Just as the three-day ministerial briefing/ review was in session, the respected Leadership Newspaper, announced the Pastor turned politician, as the Nigerian Governor of the Year 2024, for bringing “pragmatic and imaginative leadership that reverberates with success within a very short time....” Close watchers of his administration and style of leadership are not surprised. His style combines a large dose of participative leadership which has involved team members in the decision-making process, with the servant leadership style which prioritises the needs of populace and entity over and above the interest of the leadership. Governor Eno has displayed a high level of prudence, transparency, and selflessness in the pursuit of public good that has captured the imagination of many, including his political opponents. One of the governor’s opponents in the last governorship primaries who is now actively supporting the governor confided in this writer his amazement with Governor Eno’s sterling performance, transparency and openness to public scrutiny. “I hope you will not quote me, but honestly, whenever I look at the performance of this governor, I ask myself, would I have measured up to this very high level and standards of performance?” Said Governor Eno at the opening of the three-day ministerial briefing/review: “We came into office with an overwhelming electoral victory. Eighteen months later, I believe it is time we should sit together and look critically on what we have been able to achieve together as a government. We will be here together for three days to take stock, to see the things we have done right and to consolidate on them, and to see the things we should do right and to learn to do them right...It is simply an opportunity for us as a government to have feedback and learn”. It turned out that the learning was a two-way exchange. A cross section of stakeholders who jam-packed the sprawling Banquet Hall of the Government House learned with great delight, not just about the bold and daring economic and infrastructural steps Governor Eno has taken to make Akwa Ibom a proud sub-national in Nigeria, but they also were proud to know first hand that the State is lucky one more time to be steered by a competent transformational leader. Stakeholders said his job approval rating in 18 months is probably unrivalled in the history of the 37-year- old State. Those who spoke inside and outside the briefing venue were united in their perception and opinion on the calibre and capacity of the businessman turned Governor. Senator Effiong Bob, the political leader of Uyo Senatorial District, was effusive with his rating of the Governor: “When you have a good product, it is easy to sell. This ministerial briefing is a novel idea, because we have never had it so good and open in Akwa Ibom State”. Otuekong T. O Akpan, an elder statesman and former member of the Cross River State House of Assembly, spoke along the same lines: “I am very excited to be a part of this event. Coming from the private sector, the Governor has brought innovation into governance, leading to an unprecedented development in all components of the ARISE Agenda for the good of Akwa Ibom people.” Goddy Umoh, Chairman, Akwa Ibom State Assembly Service Commission, said the ministerial briefing was very illuminating. “Through the ministerial briefing, we are able to know clearly what the Governor has been doing in the last 18 months and what the Governor intends to do in 2025. It is very rare to see a state governor in Nigeria put all his cards on the table for all to see...” For the Oku Ibom Ibibio, the patriarch of Ibobio people, Dr. Solomon Etuk, his joy as the traditional father of the Governor was obvious. “I am proud of the Governor, not because he is my own son, but because he has excelled in everything he has initiated and beyond. I am so delighted to be an eye-witness of this unprecedented initiative of openly rendering the account of his stewardship... While Chief Nduese Essien, former minister of Housing and Environment said the ministerial briefing is a unique idea that “has never been done in any state of the federation...”, Senator Emmanuel Ibok-Essien said that “after eight years, many states will not be able to compete with Akwa Ibom State, at the rate Governor Eno is performing”. In his opinion, the Chairman of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), in Akwa Ibom State, Comrade Amos Etuk said the ministerial briefing should remain “a legacy” of the Umo Eno’s ARISE Agenda in order to foster steady accountability, deepen transparency and agenda setting in years to come. Said the Chairman of Trade Union Congress, Akwa Ibom State, Comrade Dominic Abah: It was really revealing to see the Governor sit down throughout the scrutiny of his administration to hear from the people and take down notes. This is the difference between a transformational and transactional leadership”.

New Delhi : While India has proved its prowess in precision landing with Chandrayaan-3, the impending SpaDeX mission will achieve a historic space docking feat, said Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science and Technology Dr Jitendra Singh on Saturday, December 28. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) aims to launch the Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX) mission, aboard the PSLV-C60 rocket, at 21:58 IST from Sriharikota on December 30. The mission aims to dock two satellites in space, a challenge only mastered by the US, Russia, and China, so far. “ISRO’s year-end mission is going to be a historic one as it will seek the rare feat of docking or merging or joining together two satellites in space,” Singh said, adding that “the indigenous technology used for this mission is called the ‘Bharatiya Docking System’”. “SpaDEX will mark a milestone, showcasing India’s expertise in spacecraft docking technology,” Singh noted. The success of this mission is vital for India’s future space ambitions. Docking technology will help upcoming missions like Chandrayaan-4 and the planned Indian space station, expected to be ready by 2035. It is also crucial for the eventual manned Gaganyaan mission, expected to launch in 2026. With SpaDeX, “ISRO will attempt to dock two satellites orbiting at speeds of 28,800 km/h”. And both satellites must be carefully manoeuvred to reduce their relative velocities to a mere 0.036 km/h”. The two satellites, SDX01 or Chaser and SDX02 or Target, will merge to form a single unit in space. Each satellite weighs around 220 kilograms and will orbit 470 km above Earth. The mission aims to include performing precision rendezvous and docking manoeuvres, validating power transfer between docked spacecraft, and operating payloads post-undocking, with a two-year lifespan. SpaDEX will also use PSLV’s fourth stage, POEM-4, for experiments. The stage will carry 24 payloads from academic institutions and startups. These experiments will utilise the microgravity environment in orbit.Putin bans "propaganda" of refusal to have children in Russia

If Philadelphia Eagles star quarterback Jalen Hurts is unavailable for their Week 17 tilt with the rival Dallas Cowboys, they'll at least have Kenny Pickett at their disposal. Hurts remains in concussion protocol while also dealing with a finger injury on his non-throwing hand. He did not practice on Thursday, but QB2 Pickett (ribs) was a full participant. Pickett told reporters after practice Thursday that he expects to be able to play. He "tested out some different things padding-wise" in anticipation of being on the field Sunday against visiting Dallas, when the Eagles can clinch the NFC East title with a victory. "It is what it is. Just something I'm going to have to deal with," Pickett said. "So, yeah, I'll be ready to go for Sunday." Hurts was injured last Sunday in the Eagles' loss to the Washington Commanders. His head hit the turf while being tackled by Frankie Luvu and Bobby Wagner. Hurts connected on just 1 of 4 passes for 11 yards before he exited the game. Pickett took over and produced 143 yards, one touchdown and one interception on 14-of-24 passing as Washington rallied to beat Philadelphia 36-33. It was later revealed that Pickett hurt his ribs during the game. "I think after a couple more days, getting a chance to kind of rest it a little bit more, go do some rehab, I'll be good for Sunday," Pickett said. The only other quarterback on the Eagles' roster is Tanner McKee, a sixth-round pick in 2023 who has yet to play a snap for them. Philadelphia signed quarterback Ian Book to the practice squad earlier Thursday. --Field Level MediaHow the stock market defied expectations again this year, by the numbers NEW YORK (AP) — What a wonderful year 2024 has been for investors. U.S. stocks ripped higher and carried the S&P 500 to records as the economy kept growing and the Federal Reserve began cutting interest rates. The benchmark index posted its first back-to-back annual gains of more than 20% since 1998. The year featured many familiar winners, such as Big Tech, which got even bigger as their stock prices kept growing. But it wasn’t just Apple, Nvidia and the like. Bitcoin and gold surged and “Roaring Kitty” reappeared to briefly reignite the meme stock craze. Stock market today: Wall Street drifts to a mixed close in thin trading following a holiday pause Stock indexes drifted to a mixed finish on Wall Street as some heavyweight technology and communications sector stocks offset gains elsewhere in the market. The S&P 500 slipped less than 0.1% Thursday, its first loss after three straight gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.1%, and the Nasdaq composite fell 0.1%. Gains by retailers and health care stocks helped temper the losses. Trading volume was lighter than usual as U.S. markets reopened following the Christmas holiday. The Labor Department reported that U.S. applications for unemployment benefits held steady last week, though continuing claims rose to the highest level in three years. Treasury yields fell in the bond market. Israel strikes Houthi rebels in Yemen's capital while the WHO chief says he was meters away JERUSALEM (AP) — A new round of Israeli airstrikes in Yemen have targeted the Houthi rebel-held capital of Sanaa and multiple ports. The World Health Organization’s director-general said the bombardment on Thursday took place just “meters away” as he was about to board a flight in Sanaa. He says a crew member was hurt. The strikes followed several days of Houthi attacks and launches setting off sirens in Israel. Israel's military says it attacked infrastructure used by the Houthis at the international airport in Sanaa, power stations and ports. The Israeli military later said it wasn’t aware that the WHO chief was at the location in Yemen. Holiday shoppers increased spending by 3.8% despite higher prices New data shows holiday sales rose this year even as Americans wrestled with still high prices in many grocery necessities and other financial worries. According to Mastercard SpendingPulse, holiday sales from the beginning of November through Christmas Eve climbed 3.8%, a faster pace than the 3.1% increase from a year earlier. The measure tracks all kinds of payments including cash and debit cards. This year, retailers were even more under the gun to get shoppers in to buy early and in bulk since there were five fewer days between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Mastercard SpendingPulse says the last five days of the season accounted for 10% of the spending. Sales of clothing, electronics and Jewelry rose. Finland stops Russia-linked vessel over damaged undersea power cable in Baltic Sea FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Finnish police say authorities detained a ship linked to neighboring Russia as they investigate whether it damaged a Baltic Sea power cable and several data cables. It was the latest incident involving disruption of key infrastructure. Police and border guards boarded the Eagle S and took control as they investigate damage to the Estlink-2 undersea power cable. The cable brings electricity from Finland to Estonia across the Baltic Sea. The cable went down on Wednesday. The incident follows damage to two data cables and the Nord Stream gas pipelines. Both have been termed sabotage. Russian ship that sank in the Mediterranean was attacked, owner says MOSCOW (AP) — The Russian operator of a cargo ship that sank in the Mediterranean Sea between Spain and Algeria says it has been hit by a series of explosions in an act of sabotage. Oboronlogistica is a state-controlled company that operated the Ursa Major freighter. The company said the vessel was wrecked by three powerful explosions just above the water line in what it described as a “terrorist attack” that caused it to sink on Monday. The company said in a statement carried by Russia’s state RIA Novosti news agency on Thursday that the explosions left a hole in the ship’s starboard and filled the engine room with acrid smoke. That hampered the crew’s attempts to access it. Undersea power cable linking Finland and Estonia hit by outage, prompting investigation FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Finland’s prime minister says authorities are investigating an interruption in a power cable under the Baltic Sea between his country and Estonia. Petteri Orpo said on X that power transmission through the Estlink-2 cable suffered an outage Wednesday. Authorities have been on edge about undersea infrastructure in the Baltic after two international data cables were severed in November and the Nord Stream gas pipelines between Russia and Germany were blown up in September 2022. Japan to maximize nuclear power in clean-energy push as electricity demand grows TOKYO (AP) — A Japanese government panel has largely supported a draft energy policy calling for bolstering renewables up to half of Japanese electricity needs by 2040. It also recommends maximizing the use of nuclear power to accommodate the growing demand for power in the era of AI while meeting decarbonization targets. Cabinet is expected to formally approve the plan by March following a period of public consultation. The policy says nuclear energy should account for 20% of Japan’s energy supply in 2040, with renewables expanded to 40-50% and coal-fired power reduced to 30-40%.

US applications for unemployment benefits hold steady, but continuing claims rise to 3-year high WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits held steady last week, though continuing claims rose to the highest level in three years. The US Labor Department reported Thursday that jobless claim applications ticked down by 1,000 to 219,000 for the week of Dec. 21. That’s fewer than the 223,000 analysts forecast. Continuing claims, the total number of Americans collecting jobless benefits, climbed by 46,000 to 1.91 million for the week of Dec. 14. That’s more than analysts projected and the most since the week of Nov. 13, 2021. Weekly applications for jobless benefits are considered representative of U.S. layoffs.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has managed to cling on to power for now, after an impeachment motion against him over the Dec 3 martial law debacle failed to reach the two-thirds majority needed for it to pass. Tabled by the 192-member opposition bloc for voting on Dec 7, the motion needed eight more votes from ruling party lawmakers to meet the 200-vote quorum. But the motion fell short with 195 votes – 194 for, and one against, from a ruling party lawmaker. All but three of the 108 ruling People Power Party (PPP) lawmakers boycotted the vote. They were determined to prevent Mr Yoon from being impeached as it would mean a snap presidential election, which the PPP would most likely lose. The opposition Democratic Party of Korea said it will propose a new impeachment Bill against Mr Yoon on Dec 11, which will be put to a vote on Dec 14.

That didn't work... jobless aid scheme to buy lawnmowers, suits and even steam irons to help people find work writes off £3MILLION By BRENDAN CARLIN POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT Published: 09:55 AEDT, 8 December 2024 | Updated: 09:57 AEDT, 8 December 2024 e-mail View comments A scheme to buy lawnmowers, suits and even steam irons to help people find work lost millions on items never fully accounted for. The Mail on Sunday can reveal the taxpayer-funded project administered by job centres made £3million of awards to the unemployed in the past three years without keeping proper receipts. The Flexibility Support Fund (FSF) can be used to pay for travel costs for people to attend interviews, fund child care and buy equipment needed for a new job. One grant in the summer involved buying a top-of-the-range self-propelled lawnmower for someone to start a gardening business. But in the previous three financial years, more than £3million of FSF awards were written off by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) as 'cash losses' after claimants did not give receipts or provided 'incomplete or incorrect receipts'. The DWP has now introduced new 'security measures to better track spending', including insisting that most payments are made by job centre staff rather than giving the money to claimants and hoping they provide proof of purchase. Last night, Labour MP Graham Stringer said: 'You wouldn't run a whelk stall like this. 'Helping people to get a job is a good idea but it must be properly accounted for. If the DWP is finally introducing proper controls, it's not before time.' The FSF losses came to light only after DWP officials this year removed the need for receipts by insisting that job centre work coaches bought the items first with an official departmental 'approval to buy' credit card One grant in the summer involved buying a top-of-the-range self-propelled lawnmower for someone to start a gardening business (Stock Image) One payment of £1,099 was made to luxury steam iron/ironing board company Laurastar SA (Stock Image) Other FSF awards over the summer included a £1,249 payment at John Lewis (Stock Image) Ironically, the FSF losses came to light only after DWP officials this year removed the need for receipts by insisting that job centre work coaches bought the items first with an official departmental 'approval to buy' credit card. But as the MoS revealed last month, that led to the disclosure that this summer the card was used on an apparent spending spree at stores including John Lewis, Argos, Halfords and Moss Bros. DWP officials have declined to disclose specific purchases, but said they could include 'smart clothing for interviews' and essential tools and equipment for 'specialist roles'. But sources said a £1,259 transaction in August at garden machinery dealer Cheltenham Mowers was for a 'Lawnflite Pro' self-propelled petrol mower for a claimant setting up a gardening business. Other FSF awards over the summer included: Two transactions at farm and gardening supplier Sam Turner & Sons, worth £1,447 in total A £1,249 payment at John Lewis £555 at clothing chain Moss Bros £1,099 at luxury steam iron/ironing board company Laurastar SA. The DWP said the fund 'removes barriers' to work, adding that it has now 'strengthened and enhanced transparency' in spending.

Sit-ins at around 10 other locations across Karachi also continued for a third day. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700472799616-0'); }); Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP) Sindh President Mahmood Moulvi, IPP Central Executive Committee member and former Sindh governor Imran Ismail, Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) leaders, as well as lawyers and social figures participated in the central sit-in at Numaish and expressed solidarity with the protesters. During his speech at the protest, MWM central leader Allama Hassan Zafar Naqvi responded to Karachi Mayor Barrister Murtaza Wahab’s remarks about the sit-ins. Naqvi claimed that Wahab became mayor through a fake mandate, and that he was speaking the language of the establishment. The MWM leader pointed out that the mayor has not spoken a word about the blockade of Parachinar’s routes for 80 days, during which 130 children died due to the roadblocks. Naqvi said Karachi’s residents are more distressed by the destruction of roads than by sit-ins, adding that the mayor should focus on his work rather than adding salt to the wounds of the victims. He stressed that Karachi has always been the centre of anti-establishment and anti-dictatorship protests. He called for the leadership of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) to take notice of Wahab’s “anti-people” statements. MQM-P leader Shabbir Kaimkhani said on the occasion: “We are Hussaini, and stand against oppression. As a party we have been voicing our concerns against terrorism for the past 40 years. We condemn the incidents of terrorism in Parachinar.” Kaimkhani demanded the immediate opening of the routes to Parachinar, and announced that they would raise an effective voice in the provincial assembly against this injustice. Former governor Ismail said: “The terrorist attack in Parachinar is not the first incident. In Quetta (Balochistan) terrorists had targeted pilgrims. These systematic acts of terrorism are happening in our beloved country.” He said that people adhering to any religion or sect deserve equal rights. “We do not support those spreading sectarianism. We condemn the terrorism in Parachinar, and call for solidarity with its people.” IPP leader Moulvi offered his condolences to the families of the deceased and the injured. “We stand with the people of Parachinar in these difficult times. The current situation is the result of the incompetence of the federal and provincial governments. The routes must be opened.” Other leaders who participated in the protest included MQM-P Rabita Committee member Masood Mahmood, MNA Abdul Hafeez, MPA Anjum Mirza, MPA Amir Siddiqui, Allama Manzoorul Haq Thanvi, Allama Baqar Hussain Zaidi, Allama Nisar Ahmed Qalandri, Maulana Muhammad Hassan Raisi, Shabir Reza, Shamsul Hassan Shamsi, Ishaq Qurayati, Malik Ghulam Abbas and Hassan Sagheer Abdi. The citywide protests have been causing commuters difficulties in reaching their respective destinations despite the fact that the traffic police have announced alternative routes, and have been diverting traffic toward them.
