 Welcome back, it's time for us to take a look at what the newspapers are saying. So we start with the punch newspaper and it leads with, well, the main story here is May 29. To Nubu Getz transition report, vows to tackle insecurity power crisis. That's the major headline on the punch newspaper and so you have some small headlines on the masthead. Airline Sue Sirica as Niger Airplanes arrived today, page 18 is where you find details of that airline, Sue Sirica as Niger Airplanes arrived today. Court finds lawyer 40 millionaire over anti-Tinubu inauguration suit. You have details of that on page 13. Health workers begin indefinite strike, abjections demands, page 26 is where you have details of that and above the masthead you have reps insist on 2.4 billion dollar oil sale probe, grim alamy, page 13 is where details of that is on the punch newspaper and that's all I'll be taking on the punch newspaper. Okay, we'll move now to the daily independent, daily independent rather leads with a story of Buhari. I run a good race. I have finished my course. That is what Buhari said. It confers highest national honors on Tinubu, Shetima. President-elect vows not to disappoint Nigerians and Buhari. Smaller headlines there at the side, you'll find we're aware of plans to disrupt May 29 inauguration, that's DSS, it's on page 29. Hark of trust is breaking up Nigeria, according to Edwin Clark. On page 6 you'll find the story, Syrika's action on national career call for anarchy says AON, it's on page 6 as well. Ninth national assembly most productive in outputs, outcomes says Buhari, it's also on page 6. What finds ex-presidential candidate 40 million Naira for seeking to stop Tinubu's inauguration? We also have another headline, airport's concession is contempt of court, won't stand, as according to unions, the rider is won recent appointments in Nimit may spell doom for aviation. Okay, the other headlines that you can find up there on the front page is it's juvenile argument asking why federal government still borrows awards contracts, that's according to Fashola. And then finally, don't undermine Nigerians or details LP law makers elect. The rider there is fight temptation to cross carpet to APC's, APC says Aburi. Okay, those are the headlines from the Daily Independent. From Daily Independent will move to Daily Trust newspaper and it leads with I have run a good race finished my course Buhari. So you have smaller headlines there or rather my administration best in broad infrastructure Buhari says Tinubu best for Nigeria. These are some of the riders attached to the headline, confers GCFR GCON on president elect and Shatima as a vice president elect. I won't disappoint Nigerians ex-legors governor details of that is on page 4. You have it's interesting the newspapers, the headlines this morning are pretty scanty and three of the four that we're looking at have the same picture of the president elect Ashwajib Bola at Tinubu. Well, that's all that we're taking from Daily Trust. And then it also has a lot of them from yesterday till now we have the person in charge of the pipelines in the Niger Delta is giving felicitations in all the national newspapers yesterday it was almost every one of them and he had a significant portion of that front page and I'm talking about government. I do want to mention it because he didn't pay us, he didn't pay us back, he must have paid for this. We need to know why he's taking so much of an interest in this maybe our guests will tell us. We also have Daily Trust almost sounding the same as, was it Daily Trust you just took? Yeah, I just did Daily, yeah Daily Trust. Okay, the nation now, we have the nation now also looking almost the same as Daily Trust. Tinubu, I understand the magnitude of the task ahead. President elect gets a baton of service, transition documents. You'll find that story on page three of the nation. Kuhari confers GCFR on Tinubu, President after a good race, I have passed the baton. Okay, that's what the president has said. Those are the headlines on the nation and that will be the end of all the final newspaper for this morning. Okay, so we have been joined by guests on off the press, Mr. Gidej Janssen, senior lecturer and junior institute of journalism is joining us from Lagos. Good morning, Mr. Janssen. Good morning, good morning to all viewers all about the world. It's a pleasure to be with you on this wonderful Friday. We will get to the transition to a new administration across the entire planet of Nigeria. Okay, talking about transition, let's leave those politics a little bit before and afterwards we will talk about them. Let's start with the national carrier that is going to receive the first batch or maybe the only airplane of Air Nigeria or Nigeria Air today. This national carrier, it seems as if it's a dual-dial affair. We must have it done before this administration closes. What are your thoughts on how the whole process is? The president gave an indication that if Nigerians should attack him, the Republic could defend him and then when he had his last federal executive council, he told his minister, he hoped that the order would not be too far away from there. Fortunately, the minister of aviation at the city is from Kasina state. I think this is an area in which the 10th National Assembly should set up a commission of inquiry to look at the management of the affairs of this particular ministry, particularly with reference to the issue of Nigerian head, because there seems to be a lot of desperation on the part of meeting even the minimal deliverables with respect to the expectation. If you look at the deliverables that the ministry is trying to achieve towards the tail end of this administration and the expectation and the resources that have been devoted to the development of the ministry, then you begin to wonder why would you be delivering just an aircraft as you are leaving? So it is there for us to require the 10th National Assembly, particularly the aviation or transportation committee of both the senate and the red to look into this matter so that we can get to the root of it, because there is a lot of things that does not meet the eye with respect to it. You recall how they went to Dubai to design the logo. I think the logo was designed for close to over 60 million dollars, an assignment that I'll give to my students in school that they would do for free. You could even have organized the national competition in Nigeria for schools across the length of bread for them to design, and then we say the winner will get 10 million, the winning school will get 10 million, the second school gets 7.5, and then you see the kind of logo that will come out of what we have done. It's just everybody wants to cash out so that every Nigerian can eat breakfast. So they are serving us breakfast left and center. If you look across, I call Sektura area of the economy, each of the minister has done one project or the other at the tail end of the administration. And then the former governor of Lagos State and currently the minister of works in his arrogant intellectual said that anybody talking about people government collecting loot towards the tail end of the administration does not understand does not understand anything. Well, the thing is that they do face enough crossfire from the public. If they face enough crossfire and there's a public engagement in which they are asked, I just imagine him sitting before BBC and with ad talk with Shaka, and then he goes the higher to see what he's saying. But that is what it is. They have a way of getting and on things and they have a way of inserting the sensitivity of Nigerian because they believe that one, they are more knowledgeable than we are. Two, they are highly pleased than we are. Three, and then they have been fortunate to be in public office for a quarter of a century. Okay. Well, let's move on to the next, which is the nation newspaper, the headline there, Tinnubu, that's above the master. I understand the magnitude of task ahead. I understand the magnitude of task ahead. Do you see him acknowledged? Do you see that as an acknowledgement that this administration that is going to take over from hasn't performed? See, he has defined two critical areas. And if you look at those two critical areas, why this government came into power, how difficult, you know, the number of 16 years of PDP's administration, 16 years of PDP's administration, one of the major issues in security, you will call that the kidnapping of the Bukwaram students contributed, give the opposition a leave in the campaign. The chief of girls. The chief of girls here, the campaign against them, against the then government in power, but the inability of the government to tackle insecurity and the rest of it. However, this insecurity situation rather than ability seems to be on the increase in Nigeria. We have added kidnapping to it. We have added banditry to it. We have added a non-government to it. So if you take the issue of insecurity, which was one of the cardinal principle of what FB's administration, what they campaign on, on dealing with, they've not been able to solve the problem. So it's an acknowledgement of the failure of the president administration in dealing with insecurity, because the president like said, I know the task. Now let's talk about power. For the past four weeks, I've not been able to join, but I've been able to join virtually through audio format, but I've not been able to join by using audiovisual means, because we don't have power. We don't have power and they are keys PDP. You know, there was, I think there were seven or eight, five or eight power stations, many power stations. When the passenger was going, that was established. And you were really in the newspaper that those power stations have been considered, they've been considered to private individual, without public having the knowledge of it. So the issue of power has not been dealt, has not been dealt with. Let's come to immediate cardinal issue of this administration, of coming to power. Corruption, there are the corruption stands. As corruption been dealt with, they have been okay. Let's talk about the accountant general, the case. The case, we don't know anything about that case. Now what's going on with the case? Or is it the pension fund with me now? You record me now handling the pension fund. So you can go on and on and on and on and on and on. If you just use three, three, three, three sector, we do three sectoral analysis that form the major cardinal promises of the Braille administration. You discover that the government failed, hopefully. However, in the area of infrastructure, you cannot fall the government in trying to put, implicate some basic infrastructure at whatever level. What I've said, infrastructure is just ABC of public administration, public administration. All you just need to do is to approve money. Once you have the money, they go ahead and do the project. You will give it to 18 year old. You approve, you approve, you approve for them to construct infrastructure. So when people use infrastructure as the base to draw, after we have provided you with infrastructure, anybody, after all, I will not provide an infrastructure for ourselves. You provide yourself your water, you provide yourself your light, you provide yourself the road that leads to your community. So what else is government do you do? It's like you are building your house and you are, you are, you are saying that I provide, you are going about telling people I've built my house, I've built this. So infrastructure is the basic of public administration. So any, any, any, anybody can just do it, give it to 18 year old. All you just need to do is to have his, his, his, his eighties and then look out for consultants and look out for those that will execute the project, they bring to him, they approve it. And all of this is infrastructure. What do they use to do it? The debt burden, my children, your children and their children, will still come up to pay off for the debt burden of the infrastructure. So even in the area which they have performed, there are still some questions that need to be asked. Okay. Another worrisome thing that has just happened from last night is the strike embarked upon by Johesu, the, the nurses, the junior health workers. And their demands are not, are not being met and they are complaining that a lot of things are going wrong. So Johesu is on strike and no, no, no sign that the government is concerned about this strike of the very critical sector of economy and our health, life as a nation. What are your comments on that? Well, the nurses are on strike. So the nurses are on strike. Why, why should it be surprising to them actually? They don't picturize their nurses. They don't picturize their medical capacity. They engage in medical tourism. The president traveled abroad for medical, for medical treatment. The president-elect traveled abroad for medical treatment. Iki Kiremadu took the daughter abroad for surgery and he got himself, he landed himself in problem. We knew the wife of the chief we died in United States of America after a brief illness. So it is, it is what you picturize that you understand the critical problem of that sector. And yet the national assembly is coming up with them passing the bill to ensure that once you graduate in Nigeria, you cannot, you cannot leave Nigeria until five years practicing this, practicing that. As far as, as far as I'm concerned, that particular sector, if you look at, how many times have nurses gone on strike under this administration? That's even the sector. Doctors gone on strike. What is the rate of brain drain in that sector? If you're in that sector, you have used money to train yourself and there are better opportunities in better society, where there is light constantly, where your salaries are paid, when your analysis are paid, as at when do you, and when there are better condition, working condition and better standard of living for your life. You will go. It's just a matter of time. If the president can go abroad to treat his suit, is here, and the president can go abroad to, to, to rest and do whatever he wants to do. Every Nigerian is entitled to that, to go abroad. So they don't really care about, about the sector because they don't picturize it. It is what you picturize that you care about. And we have said that there should be national law that says that you use Nigeria, put a nice Nigerian, Nigerian first. Your children must go to Nigerian school. You must put a nice Nigerian here. You must, you must use everything Nigerian in whatever you do. If you believe so much in this country and you want to be our leader, it's leadership by example. It is what leaders, children look at what parents do, not what they see. And in governance, we put like in the those we have elected to be parents. And then when they travel abroad, so that's how you like to travel abroad. So why should, why should nurses or doctors or people in the medical industry not travel abroad? Because these are areas in which the, and that's why I commend, I commend the vice president. That's Professor Yameh Shibagi. When he had to make use of Nigeria, you have not heard him of going abroad. It means of doctors, international hospital. And you know the funniest thing, in this institute they are going abroad, majority of these hospitals, most of them are consultant, most of them are specialists and Nigerians. Why can't we put an enabling environment that will make Nigerians in the hospital, that will make Nigerians in the hospital to come back home and help build this economy. You look for the best engineer, you look for the best doctors, you look for the best aides. What is it that students that have passed and taught class in Nigeria, when they travel abroad, they are coming out with flying colors, winning awards. There is some, there's a systemic problem that we have across sector in Nigeria, across, across sector. And the earlier we look into it, the earlier we deal with those issues, the better. And it starts with leadership. And that's what John Maxwell said, everything rises and falls on the leadership. You believe that it does not believe in Nigeria, then Nigeria will not try. That's my hope. Okay, just finally because we've run out of time, I would like your comment on the comment of Buhari that says that the National Assembly, the Ninth National Assembly, is the most productive of all the assemblies we have witnessed. Do you, are you also of the same school of thought? In terms of, in terms of output, no doubt, in terms of output, not bees and what have you, their first function, which is, which is love making, they are very, very productive. There's no data, but that if you look at some, if you take the passage of the PIB and then the electoral act, even though there are issues with compliance or no compliance with the electoral act, you agree that the Ninth Assembly is going to change and attend to the vote power, to the confeduding units of the state. The only data where the most state in the past is the local government autonomy, but there are areas in which some items on the exclusive list have been taken to the concurrent list, which both states can both participate in it. You said that. But in terms of classified function, they've not done well. The president will say so, because every time he asks them for a vote, both the head of the National Assembly, the reps, and the Senate, they don't even open it for debate. They just approve. There's a particular case that is ongoing, where the members are accusing the leadership of changing them in terms of the 30-30, allegedly, we don't have the facts, allegedly, that they were promised $30,000 for them to approve the loan that the president asked for, and they only paid $10,000. And you can see the drama that happened between the speaker and his deputy two days ago, when they were exchanging, when he said we should postpone plenary and the rest of it. So the president has arrived to say what he has said, because the vote is given in Roba Stam. That's my opinion, and I'm talented, and I'm truly persuaded and convinced by it. They've been in Roba Stam National Assembly. Well, thank you so much, Mr. Jede Johnson, for your time and insight this morning on Off The Press. It's a pleasure, it's a pleasure to be with you. And then those that run the government have run for 16 years, they've come back and they've placed a vote in all of the newspaper. It's such a funny country, whereby you report criminality, and then you have people that should not be allowed in the same society, having access and control to state institutions, to state power. Thank you. Thank you so much, Mr. Jede Johnson. Well, this is where we round off on Off The Press. We're going to take a break. When we return, we'll be looking at some other issues, and that will be on technology and media, or sorry, who will be talking with our guest, and he will be giving insight to the first hot topic that we're having today. Stay with us.
