The National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS), says it is set to reposition the body for greater height and maximum impact.

The Chairman, Board of Trustees (BOT) of NAPPS, Dr Said Mijinyawa stated this at a media conference on Wednesday in Abuja.
He was supported by the Secretary of the Board, Prince Sakiru Raji, and members such as Dr Samira Jibir, Dr Francisca Chinwe Ohkezo, Hauwa Abarshi, Obong Edet Udo, Jude Idakpo, Gbenga Olowie and Hajiya Wakilbe Ashe.

According to Mijinyawa, following the expiration of Chief Yomi Otubela led administration, today Nov. 22, “the Board deemed it necessary to save the association from untold administrative up headers”.

Mijinyawa said action plans are being rolled out to midwife a new administration to manage the affairs of the association and conduct credible elections within 120 days or four months.

“These action plans are aimed at repositioning the NAPPS to take it to a greater height and maximum impact based on its vision, goal and mandate.

“There is need for a new set of Executives to handle the affairs of the body and we are poised to ensure that NAPPS takes its rightful place in the comity of friends and associates.

“A Member of the National Electoral Committee (NECOM) will come from each of the six geopolitical zones to be headed by a member of the Trustees.

“The Committee is to use the 2017 NAPPS Constitution to draw the time table, announce election dates, screen candidates and conduct of elections.

“Units, Wards, Local Government Chapters, States and Zones that have conducted their elections prior to this directives are not affected but must inform the NECOM in writing,” Mijinyawa said.

He said the Board had announced the setting up of a Transitional Committee with a Member each from the six geopolitical zones of the country to be headed by the BOT Chairman.

According.to him, their job is to see to the day-to-day running of the association for the transition period of four months.

He added that all the Members of the two Committees must have no Political ambition in the next administration which they are to midwife.

He stressed that the two Committees have 120 days or March 22, 2024, within which to carry out their assignments.

“The BOT hereby mandates all members of NAPPS nationwide not to pay any money to any National account of NAPPS from today.

“You will be notified of the account you will use within few days either for examinations, annual dues, debate, quiz and many others.

“All activities and businesses engaged in by the Chief Yomi Otubela-led administration are hereby put on hold. No NAPPS member should engage in any activity not approved by the BOT hence forth.

“NAPPS unified examination is hereby put on hold forthwith. You will be notified on the next line of action with respect to any examinations that may be organised by the body.

“For the LOAN from FCMB, we direct that members should stay further transactions on this, pending the time the BOT will be furnished with the Memorandum of understanding signed on behalf of the association by the Otubela-led administration,” he said.

The NAPPS BOT Chairman said it is painful to inform members that the board did not know anything about the loan members are accessing from any bank.

He named the transition committee as
Mijinyawa as Chairman, Elder Charles Umekwe, Chief Derick Enidakinro, M.M Adamu, Ernest Ike Ugwu, Victor Green and Alhaji Mohammed Musa Wambilmi
Similarly, the BOT chairman named Dr Esio Olekezie as the Chairman of the Electoral Committee and Dr Yashim Abim as the secretary with member drawn from each geopolitical zone of the country.

The Gleamer

…Highlights His Leadership Skills and Economic Achievements

Joel Ajayi
Director General of the Nigerian Technical Aid Corps,Rt.Hon.Yusuf Buba Yakub says President Tinubu has risen above global economic dynamics and confronted squarely other regional and countrywide downturns to place Nigeria on the path of self-redemption, effervescent hope and optimism for a glorious tomorrow.

The NTAC boss,who stated the above in a congratulatory message made available to press men today in Abuja in commemoration of the second year anniversary of the Tinubu Presidency,added that Nigerians were excited at how ingeniously President Tinubu was able to pull back an economy tottering on the brinks of collapse to one that has started repaying debts and raising external reserves of the country.
The rest of the piece read:

“Your Excellency,Mr.President and Father of the Nation, *Letter of Congratulations on Your Two Years of Impactful Leadership and Service to Nigeria

“Permit me to respectfully avail myself of this means and the auspicious occasion of your second anniversary in office as President and Commander-in-Chief,Federal Republic of Nigeria, to convey my humble congratulations on the reformative and transformational turnaround that you have injected into governance and national leadership in these last two years since assuming the Nigerian Presidency.

“Without an iota of doubt,Sir,you came in,you saw and you have conquered.In the immortal words of one of the greatest leaders of all time:” You Have Done What Napoleon Could Not Do!”

“I recall with the clarity of a former federal lawmaker,who with every sense of modesty was in a position to know at the time,how our national life was mired in loss of hope, uncertainty, deepening insecurity, ethno-regional tensions as well as sullen economic indices.

“It was, indeed,a tall order to find that man who could clean the Augean stable,which, in fairness to the immediate-past national leadership,arose as a result of several factors,most of which were global and , therefore, beyond their total control.

“Today,Your Excellency,Mr.President,you have not only risen above global economic dynamics but confronted squarely other regional and countrywide downturns to place our nation back on the path of self-redemption, effervescent hope and optimism for a glorious tomorrow!

“Today,Your Excellency,many Nigerians,in spite of what you often refer to as “current pangs of hardship for a better tomorrow”,are excited at how ingenious you have brought back an economy tottering on the brinks of collapse to one that has started repaying debts and raising our external reserves.Surely,this could not have been an accident of leadership,but the result of a well-intended and carefully executed fiscal policy that has delivered on its premeditated targets.

“Your Excellency,Mr.President,as we ruminate on the path through which you have led us through these past two years, Nigerians may not be very much aware of the many hours of sleep you lose to hold the nation together,to keep the economy on a sound footing,to restore the prices of goods and commodities to the pre-energy subsidy removal era,to ease tensions in regions with security challenges and to keep our workers happy,but every Nigerian knows that the nation has a leader that truly cares. We all can attest to this in your body language and poise each time you address the nation!

“Your Excellency,Mr.President,we may go on and on to chronicle the quantum leap your gracious leadership skills and initiated policies have foisted on the nation these past years,but those who do not travel abroad may not fully understand the extent of the positive turnaround that you have caused to happen in our individual and collective destinies across the globe in so short a time.Simply put,it suffices to just say here that the honour of our green passport has also been largely restored,thanks to Your Excellency,Mr.President’s Foreign Policy Initiatives and leadership ingenuity these past two years of purposeful leadership.

“Your Excellency,Mr.President,Sir,as you take a detour into the next half of your glorious first tenure,we,who you graciously appointed as some of your foot soldiers,join millions of your admirers, well-wishers and mentees across the world to wish you well and to pray that you daily continue to draw from the rich reservoir of wisdom, strength and good health deposited in you by the Almighty God Himself at creation to lead Nigeria and Africa in the right direction.

“For myself and my family,and on behalf of the Nigerian Technical Aid Corps (NTAC),which by the grace of God, your magnanimous appointment and continuous support I currently head,I congratulate you once again ,Your Excellency,Mr.President and Father of the Nation,and pray that you find more health, wisdom, inspiration and strength to continue to deliver on the Renewed Hope Agenda and maintain the path of realizing The Nigerian Dream in our lifetime,” the NTAC DG concluded.

Following the swearing-in ceremonies held at the Eagle Square,Abuja,on May 29,2023, President Tinubu took over the reins of leadership, succeeding his Party man and immediate-past President,Gen.Muhammadu Buhari,Retd.
