Equitable Access and Participation: We are committed to ensuring that every child, particularly out-of-school children and children with disabilities, have access to quality education. This project will help us increase enrolment, participation, and completion rates. 2. Effective Teaching and Learning: By improving the quality of teaching in targeted primary schools and learning centres, we aim to provide our children with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed.</p><p>“The beneficiaries of this project are both direct and far-reaching. We anticipate that over 200,000 out-of-school children will be reintegrated into the education system. Additionally, 1,273,222 primary school pupils will benefit from improved school facilities and learning materials, while 36,233 stakeholders, including teachers, head teachers, and local education authorities, will benefit from training and capacity development.</p><p>“I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to UNICEF, our trusted partner, for their commitment and support in helping us achieve these goals.

This USD 2.5 million, four-year intervention is a part of the Reaching Out-of-School-Children programme, will empower the state by strenghtening its Education Management Information Systems, enabling data-driven budgeting, planning, and performance monitoring for a more resilient education system that keeps children learning and in school.</p><p>“UNICEF is immensely proud to be a partner to Kaduna State.

By championing this initiative, we can ensure the safety of schools, address key reasons behind children being out of school, and foster a safer learning environment for all,” Munduate said.</p><p>ENDS</p><p><img src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=" rel="noopener noreferrer">Join Daily Trust WhatsApp Community For Quick Access To News and Happenings Around You.</p> Kaduna signs pact with UNICEF to return 200,000 out of school children to classroom - Daily Trust	查看 5790	《每日信托报》	2024-09-07 10:04:43 2024-09-07 13:49:27	word
2705754	有图 <p>Constant complaints from residents living near the Kano Industrial areas in northern Nigeria about incessant smells polluting the atmosphere prompted The Colonist Report Africa to investigate the source of the pollution. After nine months of investigation into the tanny industries in Kano, using scientific analysis of water samples collected directly from three communities, it was confirmed that excessive smells are emanating from the Saharada community due to the presence of high ammonium, where Unique Leather Finishing Company Ltd., a company connected to a British company, discharges its waste into the drainages that connects the community river.</p><p>The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines ammonium as an air pollutant that can affect humans, the environment and kill aquatic life— is derived from waste, fertilisers, and natural processes. It can enter the aquatic environment via nitrogen fixation, atmospheric deposition, and agricultural runoff.</p><p>A visit to Sharada, Bompai, and Challawa, three industrial areas in Kano metropolis, a cosmopolitan area with a large population shows the areas have community rivers that receive wastewater from nearby industries. Of the water samples taken from three community drainages and a river for scientific analysis at the University of Port Harcourt laboratory, only the Sahara area had a high level of ammonium (11.8 mg/L).</p><p>Connection with the British company </p><p>The Colonist Report Africa discovered that several smaller tanneries in the area have closed down, but Unique Leather Finishing Company Ltd. remains the largest.

The rising population in Kano presents significant challenges in upholding this regulation, particularly in the Bompai and Sharada industrial estates, where urban residents have gradually encroached onto the prohibited areas.</p><p>Wastewater discharge by the tanny companies is linked to several communities. The Sharada Industrial Effluents linked to rivers, such as Gidan Maza, Sharada, Tukuntawa, Ja’en, Medile, and Shagari Quarters are directly affected by the pollution from the Sharada Industrial Effluents.</p><p>The Colonist Report investigation discovered that all industries in the Sharada estate discharge wastewater flow into the Gidan Maza, which is the immediate community of the Unique Leather Finishing Company Ltd.</p><img src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=" rel="noopener noreferrer">scientific analysis reveals excessive ammonia in kano drainages, river<p>Sharada residents complain </p><p>Magaji Aliyu, commonly known as Mabo, represents the Gandun Albasa Village Head in the Gidan Maza Community of Sharada. He told The Colonist Report Africa that the unpleasant odour from industrial wastewater discharged into the community waterways is damaging local buildings. He said that the buildings ‘‘continue to crack.’’</p><p>Aliyu alleged that the wastewater discharged into the community river isn’t treated before it’s released. He said that the chemicals used by the industries are causing the walls of houses in the area to crack, which is ultimately affecting the land.</p><p>When the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation started a project to recycle industrial wastewater in 2023, residents were happy. However, Aliyu said the project has been going on for a long time and “seems abandoned.” He added that if the water treatment is finished, it will be helpful to the community.</p><p>“This pollution is seriously affecting our lives; our walls are cracking. There are many industries but Unique Leather constitutes the largest company,” he said.</p><p>Salisu Gambo, also known as Ditol, the Kano Coordinator for Youth Mobilisation Via Media, an NGO based in Sharada, led a protest during the Abdullahi Umar Ganduje’s administration demanding immediate action to reduce the unpleasant odor in the environment.</p><p>According to him, following the protest where community members met with industry leaders in the area, the Kano State government and the then Commissioner for Environment, Dr. Ali Haruna Makoda, tried to find a lasting solution to the air pollution in Sharada and nearby areas. He, however, added that their efforts have been unsuccessful.</p><p>During the meeting, Gambo claimed that the then governor instructed the industries to create reservoirs for recycling their wastewater before releasing it into public drainage systems. “There has been a lack of action by the industries in implementing these directives, causing harm to the residents,” he claims.</p><p>“Foul odours resulting from the pollution have led to health issues such as stomach swelling, pain, and diseases like cholera and many other issues,” Gambo claims.</p><p>The air pollution and foul smells emanating from the BOMPAI industrial areas have made it difficult for locals and traders to breathe clean air, The Colonist Report Africa observed during a visit to the area.</p><p>The drainage system at a prominent roundabout connecting Murtala Muhammed Way, Sani Marshal Road (formerly known as Club Road), and Bompai Road had a strong, unpleasant odour as at January 18, 2024.</p><p>Yusuf Ahmed, a petty trader at Muhammadu Abubakar Rimi Market who lives in Dakata, told The Colonist Report that he takes a longer route to get to his shops and always covers his nose when approaching the Murtala Muhammad Way Roundabout due to the unpleasant odour that has lasted for several months.</p><p>“The immense odour worries me,” Ahmed said. “This odour has lasted for a long time. I call on the government to assist in bringing an end to this thing because it affects our health.”</p><p>Unending pollution</p><p>Challawa Industrial Area is approximately a 35-minute drive from Kano metropolis and it is another area suffering from air pollution alleged to have been caused by multiple industries, particularly the tanneries. The notable tanning companies in the area are; Mahaza Company, Mario, Fata Tanning Limited, GB Tannery, among others.</p><p>Waste water from industrial activities in the Challawa Industrial Area is channelled into the communities’ rivers and several residents, The Colonist Report spoke with—the majority of whom are farmers, complained that the water released has destroyed their farms, water, and caused air pollution.</p><p>When The Colonist Report Africa visited the Challawa village, the smell was so strong that our reporter, who fell into the community river, had to throw away his socks because the unpleasant odour lingered for days, even after washing them.</p><p>Jazuli Adamu, a farmer and a resident of the Dandako community, uses the river water for irrigation for his sugarcane. He told The Colonist Report Africa that the suspected chemicals used by the industries have rendered the soil infertile, making his sugarcane crops to be salty and “no longer sweet.”</p><p>Adamu claims that the polluted water that entered the community river is the source of cholera and other illnesses among residents.</p><p>Adamu said: “We rely on this water for irrigation farming. The sugarcane is not sweet. It is salty. We are having cases of cholera and some diseases. Even you, as you are here now, you don’t need to be told that the place is dangerous for a living considering the odour of this place and the water,” he said while pointing around the community areas.</p><p>Water Analysis Results</p><p>The three water samples taken from river and drainages in Sharada, Bompai, and Challawa are all cloudy. The Sharada water result showed 1240.54mg/l in turbidity, Bompai had 390.09 and Challawa had 564.56mg/l.</p><p>All test results showed that the water samples contained bacteria, with Challawa having the most, followed by Bompai, and then Sharada.</p><p>Ammonium was found in water samples from three community rivers. Sharada industrial areas have the highest level of ammonium (11.8mg/l), while Bompai industrial estate effluent had 0.20 mg/l. The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends a maximum of 0.5mg.l of ammonium in drinking water. According to the WHO, the presence of ammonium in water can indicate contamination from sewage or organic matter, as well as contribute to the formation of nitrite and nitrate, both of which have serious health consequences.</p><p>Several studies have found that excessive ammonium can be toxic, causing stress, impaired growth, and even death. For plants, high ammonium concentrations can disrupt nutrient balance and stunt plant growth, particularly in aquatic environments.</p><p>The test results showed that copper levels in Saharada exceeded the recommended 0.2mg/l by 1.297mg/l, while Bompai had 1.047 and Challawa effluent had 0.571. Copper is an essential micronutrient for plants, but excessive amounts can be toxic, affecting root growth, nutrient uptake, and overall plant health, according to Japhet Onwuegbu, the laboratory scientist who analysed the water samples at the University of Port Harcourt’s plant anatomy and physiology research laboratory.</p><p>The Colonist Report Africa’s findings also show that complaints about local sugarcane becoming unsweet are caused not only by high ammonium and copper levels but also by high conductivity in the river water used for irrigation. The test results revealed that the conductivity of all the water is extremely high. Shararada’s water sample contained 8750 mg/l, Bompai had 3392 mg/l, and Challawa had 13030 mg/l. Onwuegbu, the laboratory scientist, said the test results indicate that the water has a high salt content and excess conductivity, which can prevent plants from absorbing water.</p><p>Environment ministry comments</p><p>Muhammad Adamu Takai, Director of Pollution Control at the Kano State Ministry of Environment, told The Colonist Report Africa that the federal government, through its ecological projects, is collaborating with the Kano State Government to provide water treatment plants in Bompai, Sharada, and Challawa. He said the projects are currently underway, and construction near industrial zones violates the Kano State Master Plan.</p><p>Takai fumed that residents were complaining of pollution while violating the law: “They don’t have the right to complain because they constructed buildings without government approval. Ask them to give you approvals for such building. Construction around industrial areas is a clear violation of the Kano Masterplan which prohibits building around industrial areas,” he said.</p><p>When told about findings that the ecological projects in Bompai, Sharada, and Challawa had been abandoned, Takai refuted the claims. “It is not true that the project has been abandoned, “ he said. “The contractors are back to their site.”</p><p>However, when The Colonist Report Africa returned on January 20 and 21, 2024 to verify his claims, only materials such as sand and granite stones, with no workers were present. Similarly, follow-up visits to the Challawa site on January 20 and 23, 2024, to confirm the claims that the ecological projects for water treatment were ongoing revealed only a security guard who refused to provide information about the project.</p><p>Furthermore, on January 20 and 23, 2024, during a follow-up visit to the Sharada site, materials such as sand and granite stones were observed, but no workers were present.</p><p>However, on August 31, The Colonist Report Africa returned to the industrial waste treatment plant project site in the Sharada industrial area and noticed that some construction workers had resumed work.</p><p>NESREA statement</p><p>Lukman Lawal, the Coordinator of the Kano Field Office for the National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA), a government agency tasked with the responsibility of enforcing all environmental laws, guidelines, policies, standards, and regulations across the country, said the agency had conducted several awareness campaigns addressing environmental pollution concerns in industrial areas such as Bompai, Sharada, and Challawa.</p><p>In accordance with section 33 of the National Environmental Regulations, Lawal said NESREA had taken action by shutting down numerous industries in Kano State, including establishments like GB Tannery in Challawa and God’s Little Tannery, for violating environmental pollution laws.</p><p>He emphasised the importance of public vigilance towards environmental issues and encouraged individuals to report any suspicious incidents of environmental pollution. “I call on individuals to report any suspicious incidents of environmental pollution. We don’t take it lightly on any organisation found violating our law.”</p><p>Companies response</p><p>The Colonist Report Africa put its findings to Unique Leather Finishing company Ltd. about the pollution which locals accused the company of and findings from water analysis but the company denied polluting the environment and said the claims “are false.”</p><p>In a response to The Colonist Report Africa email sent on June 28, 2024, Unique Leather Finishing Company Ltd. said: “We have a fully functional effluent treated plant (ETP) which has 24/7 operators and is being fully maintained. This ETP is also being monitored by state and federal agencies like the Kano State Ministry of Environment, Federal Ministry of Environment and National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA).</p><p>“We have a good relationship with our neighbours and are in frequent dialogue with them. We find the allegations to be both inaccurate and unfounded.”</p><p>On July 1, 2024, The Colonist Report Africa further asked the company to provide evidence of a functional effluent-treated plant, and any substantive evidence that shows that the Kano State Ministry of Environment, NESREA and the Federal Ministry of Environment monitored and found the activities free from pollution, and to ascertain the last time these agencies checked the company’s environmental compliances.</p><p>The company on July 2, responded by sending four documents, of which one was a permit given by NESREA to conduct an air quality test and another was NESREA’s approval of an audit report done by the company. Finally, the other document was a permit from NESREA for the company to manage waste and toxic substances. Additional photos sent include a photo of an aerial view of the plant.</p><p>“We have our ETP fully staffed, which includes our own lab technicians who take daily samples to verify out ETP’s operation. Federal Ministry of Environment and NESREA both conduct surprise inspections where they take water samples from our discharge for their own testing,” Unique Leather Finishing Company Ltd said.</p><p>The company, however, added that it will not respond to further enquiries, saying it had provided evidence that showed the residents and test claims were false.</p><p>This media organisation’s efforts to engage with Mahaza Company, the principal tannery industry in Challawa, were fruitless. Upon travelling to Challawa on January 20 and 23, 2024, security personnel at the gate indicated that the designated contact person was unavailable.</p><p>Based on the new findings and claims of Unique Leather Finishing Company Ltd, The Colonist Report Africa made further attempts to get the reactions of the National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA) but Lukman Lawal, the Coordinator of the Kano Field of the government agency did not respond to messages sent to him.</p><p>Lawal had been asked whether the agency had visited Unique Leather Finishing Company to monitor its activities on environmental compliance, but he was yet to respond at the time this piece went to press.</p><p>Impact and solution</p><p>Air pollution adversely affects the health of individuals living near sources of emissions, said Dr. Mustapha Yunusa, Head of the Public Health Department at the Kano State School of Hygiene</p><p>Yunusa told The Colonist Report Africa that “controlling of air pollution is challenging as pollutants are released directly into the air, affecting human lungs and resulting in conditions like asthma and bronchitis.”</p><p>He said: “Discharge of effluents can contaminate well water, posing health risks like cancer and causing deformities in various body parts.”</p><p>According to him, “pollutants from the air deposited on plant leaves hinder chlorophyll absorption, affecting plant health, and also damage house and vehicle paints due to their corrosive nature, leading to high replacement costs.”</p><p>Regarding water pollution from tannery industries, Dr. Yunusa said “Direct discharge of effluents into water bodies, like the Challawa River, poses severe risks, harming aquatic life and vegetation. Certain fatalities may be associated with the water sourced from streams and wells.”</p><p>Yunusa emphasised that every company has to establish a primary treatment plant to ensure safe water discharge into public water bodies, safeguarding human health and the environment.</p><p>This Colonist Report Africa works with UK’s follow the money organisation to analyse the company’s financial statement.

2705752	有图 <p>As many as 21 state governments are running a deficit budget in the 2024 fiscal year in spite of the anticipated and exponential increases in the allocations to them from the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC).</p><p>Since June 2023 after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu terminated the fuel subsidy regime, the allocations from the centre to states and local governments have increased by about 40 per cent, a huge sum that, if applied to developmental projects, could make tremendous impact. In spite of this monthly windfall, many states have planned to borrow as much as N1.65 trillion to fund their budgets. Unfortunately, the state Houses of Assembly approved those proposals, without thorough scrutiny.</p><p>As economists would argue, it is not a crime for the government to take foreign or local loans. But when such loans are not applied in a manner that they create prosperity from which the principal and their interests are repaid, then such loans become more harmful than beneficial. Most of the loans taken by state governments have become a burden to their successors; the funds used to repay them were like waste of resources because many of those loans did not yield the desired benefits. It takes fiscal discipline for any government to apply loans to developmental projects and reap their benefits. Most state governments have not demonstrated that kind of discipline, as roads, water, environmental, educational, and many infrastructural projects funded through local and external debts are uncompleted, poorly executed, and end up as unmanageable ‘elephant projects’. Such ‘elephant projects’ bring shame and regret to their initiators. Abandoned projects, funded by loans from Bretton Wood institutions, litter Nigerian states, but state governments are under obligation to repay them with interest. The funds that should have been put into other projects are channeled into loan repayments.</p><p>As at June 2024, the total public debt of Nigeria, both local and external, was put at N121.67 trillion, according to the Debt Management Office (DMO). As at the second quarter of 2023, the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) owed N6 trillion local debts and N4.3 trillion external debts, a total of about N10 trillion. These debts are serviced and repaid from the monthly allocations to the states and FCT, a situation that has left a bitter taste in the mouth of many state governors who are compelled to repay loans taken by their predecessors. In many cases, there is no visible evidence of the application of those loans, but a surface probe into some of the loans would show that the funds were misappropriated or even stolen. The federal government is living with the consequences of the misapplication of local and foreign loans. Today, about 70 per cent of government revenue is channeled into debt servicing, leaving only about 30 per cent for development projects.</p>Why NNPC must not be the sole buyer of Dangote petrolOur deal with FG on petrol price – Labour<p>At the rate both the federal government and state governments yield to the temptation of local and external loans, Nigeria may be inching towards a serious debt crisis. Unless it is curtailed, the governments may be unable to service the debts, i.e. pay the interest on the loans and the principal amount borrowed.</p><p>The reason why countries enter into debt crises is simply the unproductive use of the debt money, which does not generate sufficient returns on the borrowed money to enable the country to pay off the interest and the principal as at when due. As it seems to be happening in Nigeria today, governments in debt crisis are compelled to take a second debt in order to offset the commitments on the first debt, creating a vicious process of indebtedness.</p><p>It is clear that many state governments are eager to borrow because of the loan-pushing strategies of developed countries and international financial institutions. They entice developing countries with easy to access loans, usually at an attractive repayment schedule. However, economists have proved that where capital is available on demand, the use of such capital becomes unproductive, leading to an expenditure spree among its users. When developed capitalist countries entice developing countries with their finance capital, it is usually to exploit the natural and human resources of the borrowers through subterfuge, because every loan comes with political strings firmly attached to them. For instance, the federal government had to remove the fuel subsidy, devalue the Naira, increase tariff on electricity, and engage in other ‘reforms’ that threw Nigerians into poverty, in order to cope with the strings that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) attached to loans taken by the previous administration. Nigerians are groaning from unbearable high cost of living and even now, a hike in the pump price of petrol, in order to please lenders of finance capital to Nigeria.</p><p>No matter the excuse being advanced by state governments, we insist that the federal government must not guarantee more loans to them. The DMO must intervene and ensure that toxic loans that impoverish Nigerians are rejected. State governments can achieve a lot by first blocking the massive leakages in Internally Generated Revenues (IGRs) and, secondly, judicious utilisation of allocations from FAAC. No more loans to state governments under any guise.</p><p><img src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=" rel="noopener noreferrer">Join Daily Trust WhatsApp Community For Quick Access To News and Happenings Around You.</p> No more loans for states - Daily Trust	查看 5612	《每日信托报》	2024-09-07 10:19:08 2024-09-07 13:49:27	word
