Oshiomhole inaugurates four Boards

By -
(Nigeria) Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State on Wednesday in Benin City inaugurated four Boards with a charge on them to collaborate with the management of the agencies for optimum result.
The Waste Management Board is headed by Mrs. Elizabeth Ighodaro; Technical and Vocational Board is headed by Lady Tina Agbara; Edo State Tourism Board is chaired by Mrs. Jane Osagie while Environmental Committee has Mr Murktar Osagie as Chairman
Inaugurating the boards,  Oshiomhole, said “I expect that you will interact very closely with management because the role of the Board is very different from the role of the management. Management has responsibilities for day-to-day running under the guidelines that are formulated by the boards. In some cases, there are some enabling laws that set up these bodies and of course, whatever you want to do must be done in conformity with the provisions of the law.
“The management are professionals who have responsibilities, who have special skills and knowledge to manage and to ensure that the organization achieve its objectives. So I hope that in the course of your own work, because sometimes in the past there were cases where we had tension between management and board members. It is completely unnecessary.
“The board role is different and Management role is different but both of them are supposed to work together. So I trust that you will all realise that regardless of your level, all of us here including myself are all working for the same principal, who are the people of Edo State. We are all accountable to the Edo People.
“In discharging your duties, ensure that you are adding value to the quality of life of Edo people because that is the bottom line. Of course you know that our Party is founded on the principles of popular participation. Other people may boast of their capacity to manipulate elections, we boast of our capacity to deliver on our mandate, deliver on public welfare and infrastructure.”

(Nigeria) The National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, has been restrained by a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, from imposing fines on broadcast stations in the country. Trial judge in the matter, Justice James Omotosho also set aside the N500,000 fines imposed on March 1, 2019, on each of 45 broadcast stations. The court made the orders in its judgment a suit by the Incorporated Trustees of Media Rights Agenda, MRA, which had sued the NBC. Justice Omotosho held that the NBC, not being a court of law, had no power to impose sanctions as punishment on broadcast stations. The court further held that the Nigeria Broadcasting Code, which gives the commission the power to impose sanction, is in conflict with Section 6 of the Constitution that vested judicial power in the court of law. He said the court would not sit idle and watch a body imposing fine arbitrarily without recourse to the law. He said that the commission did not comply with the law when it sat as a complainant and at
