President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed the gratitude of the country to Professor Tijjani-Muhammad-Bande, the immediate past President of the United Nation’s General Assembly (UNGA) for making Nigeria proud.

Receiving Professor Bande, the country’s Permanent Representative to the UN on Friday at the State House, Abuja, President Buhari said:

''You had an opportunity to serve, and you did so well. Thank you very much. By a sort of coincidence, you and Amina (Ambassador Amina Mohammed, UN Deputy Secretary-General) served at the same time. When I addressed the UN, I felt so proud to see my countryman and woman sitting at my sides.''

The President used the opportunity to ask for patience and understanding of the country’s development process, saying that it is something that takes time, but expressed optimism that advances in technology, education and experience will help to speed up the process.

In his brief remarks, Professor Muhammad-Bande said he was full of gratitude and appreciation to President Buhari and the entire nation, for supporting him in his year-long tenure as President of the 74th Session of the UN General Assembly.

He thanked the Nigerian Leader for giving him a chance to serve and the subsequent support.

''You gave me an assignment; you gave me whatever I needed. You provided for my success. The trust you gave and your leadership got us through'', Muhammad-Bande told the President.

Having been reappointed, Professor Muhammad-Bande continues in his position as the Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, New York.

2020 Theme: Shaping Peace Together
International Day of Peace Poster
Each year the International Day of Peace is observed around the world on 21 September. The UN General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, through observing 24 hours of non-violence and cease-fire.

This year, it has been clearer than ever that we are not each other’s enemies. Rather, our common enemy is a tireless virus that threatens our health, security and very way of life. COVID-19 has thrown our world into turmoil and forcibly reminded us that what happens in one part of the planet can impact people everywhere.

In March, UN Secretary-General António Guterres called on all warring parties to lay down their weapons and focus on the battle against this unprecedented global pandemic. While the message is intended for armed parties, solidarity and cooperation across borders, sectors and generations are also needed to win this new fight against the worst public health crisis of our time.

For the United Nations, 2020 was already meant to be a year of listening and learning. To mark its 75th anniversary, the UN has invited millions of people worldwide to join UN75, the largest and furthest-reaching global conversation on building the peaceful and prosperous future that we want.

As we struggle to defeat COVID-19, your voice is more important than ever. In these difficult times of physical distancing, this International Day of Peace will be dedicated to fostering dialogue and collecting ideas. The world will be invited to unite and share thoughts on how to weather this storm, heal our planet and change it for the better. Even though we may not be able to stand next to each other, we can still dream together.

The 2020 theme for the International Day of Peace is “Shaping Peace Together.” Celebrate the day by spreading compassion, kindness and hope in the face of the pandemic. Stand together with the UN against attempts to use the virus to promote discrimination or hatred. Join us so that we can shape peace together.

Happy Father's Day.

"Let me specifically acknowledge and appreciate the State Governor, His Excellency Deacon Udom Emmanuel and COVID-19 committee in our dear state for doing a good job in containing the deadly virus and its spread. As can be noticed,the rate of recovery in the state has been encouraging due to pragmatic approach of His Excellency in putting adequate measures in place even before the recording of index case(s) in our state. Furthermore, the state government had provided Public Protection Equipments(PPEs) like buckets with taps,soap, facemasks and hand sanitizers to Akwa Ibom people and indeed other residents of the state.This was followed by palliatives to our people to cushion the effect occasioned by the lockdown due to COVID-19."

Elder Ikoiwak, said AKSIEC has been supporting government's effort by the provision of infrared thermometer, hand sanitizers, hand washing points with soap and water for staff of the Commission and visitors to their headquarters in Uyo since March 20, saying that all the 31 local government area offices provided with buckets with taps and facemasks. He advised staffers of the Commission to maintain social distancing as the pandemic knows no s*x, religion and social status.

He assured that the coming election would be free, fair and credible based on international best practice.

"As we all know that the tenure of the present local government is gradually coming to an end, specifically in December 2020. There is need for us to be alert to our responsibilities, knowing fully well our roles and duties in conducting a local government election that will be free, fair and credible based on international best practice."

AKSIEC Boss reiterated that the Commission would not tolerate sabotage and indiscipline from electoral officers and staff, urging that all election materials must be sorted, identified and kept in good shape, directing Electoral Commissioners to plan and visit the Area Offices under their supervisory jurisdiction.

In a communiqué issued and adopted at the end of the mini retreat, with the theme "strategic planning- a panacea for a credible local government election", the Commission amongst others, commended Gov. Udom Emmanuel for contending the novel COVID-19 pandemic in the state, and sought the enhancement of synergy between the Commission and the security agencies for protection of personnels and electoral materials before, during and after election.

From research, it's recorded that young people from the ages of 18-35 constitutes a greater percentage of our population, but are rarely found in formal political positions, Socioeconomic, and public administrations. This situation is so alarming as it makes it difficult for young people both men and women at mid-level to engage in decision making and leadership positions.

Young people are key stakeholders in the local, State, National and Global development. Though, some young people face poverty issues, barriers to Education, , Lack of employment and opportunities, but let us create an independent mindset as future leaders to be able attend a better heights so as to bring development to our local communities and also speak for the common citizens.

In order for our Representatives and Government to respond to the need of Young people (Our need) and to guarantee that our basic human rights are recognized and enforced, we need to engage in active and constructive advocacy, meaningful particpation in societal developments and in Democratic practices and processes is of crucial importance.
So as Students and graduates it's imperative for us to engage fully in governance and participate in political and decision-Making processes both formal and informal.

*Let's be ready to accept responsibilities.
*Let's be determined and focus.
*Let's be constructive in our criticism.
*Let's not attack personalities rather let's deal with issues affecting our generation.
*Let's be ambassadors of good governance and peace.
*Let's contest an elective positions irrespective of any political party.
*Let's promote credibility and competency in our local Government.

Note: that you can still be a leader not from the top, but from the middle.
Determined & Focus.

Must Read.

In recent times, youths has been seen as instruments of distruction, blackmail, propaganda and other social vices as a result of high level of unemployment, an increasing rate of poverty which tends to reduce her positive contributions in communal development, fight against corruption and engaging in campaigns against cultism. Hunger has killed our voices.

A greater number of youths nowadays tends to be quilty of speaking truth and doing what's right instead of being quilty for doing wrong. They engage in a high level of sycophancy, an undue loyalty which leads to the minimal rate of youths involvement in our nation building because of distrust.
Let's diversity our thoughts, time, strength and focus our attention beyond politics and eradicate the syndrome of "Land well or show your boys love or your boy is loyal" these and many more won't take us anywhere.

Refuse to be a political slave, thug and agent of division. Stop insulting elders in the name of political media aids.
Know that we are all leaders. Always remember that Ninety-nine percent of all leadership occurs not from the top, but from the middle of an organization. Believe in yourself.

Let's redirect our steps, let's build our thoughts, mindsets towards having a brighter and greater future devoid of corrupt practices.
Youths should be seen as the force that drives development and growth, unity and peace.
Although we are living in a system where truth is replaced with lies an peace replaced with war.

God help our nation.

Happy birthday Comr Unyime Essien, Secretary Youth Leadership Youth Leadership Club- NigeriaYouth Leadership Club- Nigeria Nigeria.
We celebrate you.

The President of Youth Leadership Club - Nigeria, Comrade Amama Aloysius had an engaging and productive time at the Accountability Discourse Series 1.0. Where Stakeholders pledged to be accountable to the constitutional obligation of promoting the welfare of citizens, particularly through perspective planning. The dearth of long term planning has been blamed for many of the nation's development challenges.

For the current planning effort to succeed, citizens have to be fully aware of and involved in it, and at all levels. Subnational governments must be part of the process from the word go. We can't afford again the mistake of the MDGs, where Nigerian states came on board after more than five years of implementation, with costly consequences.

It is a dangerous trend that state governments routinely reject statistics produced by the National Bureau of Statistics whenever such appears to be uncomplimentary to them. Since planning must be empirical, how do we deal with the challenge of harmonising the evidence needed for long term development planning across all levels of government?
