 smugglers lose 1.51 billion nara in eight months and that's according to Nigeria customs. We'll be taking a look at our first topic this morning on the breakfast. What does that mean? Is that good news for the nation's economy? And Minister of Aviation Secure's partnership with Canadian Aviation Electronics. We'll be taking a look at this as our second hot topic. We'll also be taking a look at the front pages of some national dailies this morning with our analysts joining us on Off the Press. Good morning and welcome to the breakfast on Plus TV Africa. I am Maureen Menon-Wazige. We'll go straight to our top trending. Our first sub trending, the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal in Nassarawa State has nullified the election of Governor Abdullah Hissuli of Nassarawa State declaring PDP's David Ambugaru as the winner. Delivering the judgment virtually, chairman of the Tribunal Justice Ezekiel Ajay declared Emmanuel Ambugaru of the PDP as the lawfully elected governor of Nassarawa State. Justice Che Milier Onaga, a member of the three panel, agreed with the judgment read by the panel chairman. The chairman declared that Ambugaru provided the results of the various polling units and forms EC8A and proved to the Tribunal that the results were manipulated in favor of the APC. He said that based on the proof from the various polling units before the Tribunal, Ambugaru had most of the valid votes of the election. He ordered INAG to withdraw the certificate of return issued to Suley and issue a new one to Ambugaru. The only dissenting judgment was delivered by Justice Ibrahim Mashi, a third member who dismissed the petition filed by the PDP candidate for lacking in merit. He said the petitioner failed to prove his case and upheld INAG's declaration of Suley as winner. Reacting to the Tribunal's decision, Ambugaru's council, Mr. Johnson Usman-S.A.N., lauded it for a detailed judgment. The council said the tribunal had proved that the court is the last hope of the common man by affirming the decision of majority of the people of the state at the poll. And from there, we'll move to our second hot topic, the West African Examinations Council, has appointed a new head of the National Office for Nigeria, Dr. Emos Dangot. He was until now the Deputy Registrar, HNO's office and succeeded Mr. Patrick Aragon, whose tenure ended on October 1st. Dangot 56 from Boko's local government area of Plateau State has a bachelor's degree in animal production and a master of science in animal science from the University of Agriculture, Makrute Ben-Estate and the University of Ibado in 1991 and 1994 respectively. He has a doctorate degree from Abubakar Tafawa-Baloa University Bochi in 2017 and a master of education, administration and planning in 2020 from the National Open University of Nigeria Noun. Dangot joined the services of Wayek as an Assistant Registrar II in 1998. He rose through the ranks to become a Deputy Registrar in April 2018. He served as an Assistant Registrar, Subject Officer, Test Development Division, Wayek Lagos, July 1998 to January 2005 and became Senior Assistant Registrar, Head of Examination, Security and Deputy to the Branch Controller, Uyo Branch Office, January 2005 to January 2008. Senior Assistant Registrar, Head of Examination, Security and Deputy to the Branch Controller, Bochi Branch Office between January 2008 to December 2011. Senior Assistant Registrar, Branch Controller, Uyola Branch Office December 2011 to January 2019. So there you have the new head of Wayek, Dr. Emos Dangot. Okay, so those are the top trending this morning. We'll move from the first two to the third, which is the situation regarding mining in Plata State. Not fewer than 33 people have been killed in Plata State as a result of collapse mining sites in some communities within the past two months. The Secretary of the Plata Indigenous Miners Association, Berkin-Laudi, Pam Daniel, disclosed the grim number in Josson Sunday during an event organized for artisanal miners and farmers which held in the council area. Daniel described the frequent collapse of mining sites in Berkin-Laudi communities as worrisome, noting that the situation was posing a danger to the lives of the people, particularly the youth in the council area. All right, so he has appealed to the government to intervene in the situation while calling for more sensitization of the people to curb the ugly trend. Back in Augusta, the mining site collapsed in a Hualgasa community, resulting in seven persons being pulled out dead, while three people were injured and taken to the hospital. However, there remained uncertainty about how many people were inside the mining site when it collapsed. And only after a register was opened in the community to track the number of missing persons was the number discovered to be total 33. Those people are presumed to have been buried underneath the collapsed mining site. The secretary explained that when such things happen in rural communities, they are not reported. The community leader added that children no longer go to school in Berkin-Laudi communities because of mining, which he says is crippling the growth and development of the society. Meanwhile, according to him every year, they hear of huge amounts of money being budgeted for mining, but the artisanal miners don't benefit from it. He called on the government to assist the community with the necessary equipment to minimize the dangers inherent in mining operations. The team lead for Plateau Youth Climate Justice and Accountability Initiative. Daniel Mark and the project officer of Peiemi, Osary Moises, said the essence of organizing the stakeholders' engagement was to assess the challenges being faced by the people in the mining community and to address them. Those are the three top trending we have for you this morning and it's time for us to take a break over back with Arthur Press. Stay with us.
