water quality and a healthier environment to guarantee the quality of the water for the people and to improve the water in our rivers and on our beaches because we are at the service of the people and it is a matter of public and environmental health.” he main aim of the project was to bring the plant into line with EU requirements regarding the quality of water discharged into rivers and seas – in this case An extended aeration network in the new biological reactor and homogenisation tank has improved the  treatment of wastewater It is estimated that the quantity of wastewater treated will increase by 145 % nitrogen and phosphorous can now be removed so that the water is suitable for discharge Photovoltaic panels with a maximum power output of 75 kilowatts have been installed The energy that they generate is used for the operation of the plant reducing its carbon footprint by 32 tonnes of CO2 a year The plant’s electricity consumption has also been cut as a consequence of the replacement of the old sludge dewatering centrifuge the relocation of the sludge storage tanks the fitting of LED lighting and the installation of skylights to take advantage of natural light Work at the plant will improve the quality of water in the municipality of Bétera and nearby towns situated along the Carraixet As much of the treated water ultimately finds its way into the sea the quality of the water on the coast will likewise be improved Purification of water with a view to its reuse is vital in a region like the Mediterranean basin which is characterised by scarcity of water and a high population density and much human activity sludge resulting from the water treatment process is rich in nutrients making it a valuable agricultural resource It is therefore reused in farming in the region residents of the Camp de Túria district and of the coastal zones around the mouth of the Carraixet This will have a positive impact on tourism underlining the project’s strategic importance

it mattered most “This is on the heels that despite the challenges encountered we proved to the world that once there is a will And this was responsible for the never say die spirit exhibited by the people of South West Nigeria and the Coalition of Tinubu Support Groups “We must admit that the task ahead of the President-Elect is daunting “Our emphasis on the legislative arm of government is hinged on past experiences where the legislative arm of government worked at cross-purpose with the executive arm of government and the realities on the ground do not permit such an experiment at this crucial point in our existence the Coalition of Tinubu Support Groups and the South West Good Governance Agenda is holding the rally to press home our support and endorsement of Hon Ahmed Muktar Betera for the speakership position of the 10th National Assembly “Our position is hinged on the necessity of having the best hands and team to work within that onerous task ahead of our President-Elect There is no gainsaying that the President-Elect is a Democrat and a highly cerebral individual whose passion and commitment to the sustenance and growth of our nascent democracy remains unflinching the leadership of the legislative arm of government must share in this reality the overarching desire to bring about sustainable growth and development in the country “We

as the Federal House of Representatives speaker we are convinced beyond reasonable doubt that the Hon Ahmed Muktar Betara indeed possess the right temperament experience and composure to lead the Federal House of Representatives in a manner that would complement the efforts of the executive arm of government towards delivering the dividends of democracy to Nigerians “Hon Ahmed Muktar Betera is a loyal party whose contribution to the growth and development of the party has been innumerable His contribution to the party’s success in the presidential elections is numerous He has also proven to

visit our contact us page The above quote summarizes the leadership qualities of Hon Shani Federal Constituency of Borno State in the Federal House of Representatives A man of few but impeccable words— a distinguished parliamentarian whose contributions to advancing democracy in Nigeria cannot be overemphasized Hon Betera means different things to different people there is a meeting point for these divergent views It is the fact that he is a dynamic individual whose passion and commitment to the advancement of democracy are unparalleled This much has been evident in his leadership strides in the various committees he has led in the National Assembly he was commended by the House leadership for his passion not surprised when he indicated an interest in leading the 10th Assembly as the Speaker especially the ability to provide purposeful leadership and galvanize all members towards the common good As the Chairman of the House Committee of the Nigerian Army Betera was passionate about improving the operational effectiveness of the Nigerian Army He contributed to debates; he advocated for improved funding for the Nigerian Army and other sundry issues relevant to the Nigerian Army’s success He has been in the National Assembly since 2007 making him one of the few members to have served in Nigeria’s sixth Betara was Chairman of the Sub-committee on NDIC He also served as a member of the House Committee on Interior He was appointed Chairman of the Sub-committee on Customs He was appointed Chairman House Committee on the Army at the seventh Assembly (2011 to 2015) Betara served as Chairman of the House Committee on Defence He is the current House Committee on Appropriations Chairman presiding over all other committees regarding the appropriation process in the House of Representatives These indeed speak volumes of his experience with the intricacies of the House of Representatives Nigeria deserves leaders that would hit the ground running to translate our hopes and aspirations into tangible realities it is a requirement that such leaders must have substantial experience in their kitty for the challenges at hand requires that proactive measures are embraced in the bid to overcome the numerous challenges in the country I am privileged to have interacted with Hon Betera several times His depth and grasps of issues are impressive He is always willing to engage you in the national discourse He could pass for a historian and public analyst He is ready to take you on Nigeria’s political and leadership history without blinking What this shows is that Hon Betera is one individual that understands the issues bedevilling the country and what ought to be done to take the country out of the doldrums This explains why I was excited when he indicated an interest in leading the 10th Assembly as Speaker Nigerians should expect a robust Federal House of Representatives where ideas on how to proffer solutions to the crisis in the country will take centre stage Hon Betera is a well-rounded parliamentarian who resonates brilliance and strength of character His track record speaks volumes of a man who desires to bring about meaningful changes in the polity This much he has demonstrated over the years in the National Assembly and getting elected as Speaker would bring to the fore the attributes needed to bring about purposeful leadership in the country Remember that the legislative arm of government also needs to get it right with its choice of principal officers because they are meant to be partners in progress The executive arm of the government can’t do it all alone This mistake has cost the country a lot over the years When I hear of things like ethnic balancing or religious considerations for the leadership of the National Assembly I always nod in disbelief because the consideration should be about competence and experience Competence and experience should be the watchword in choosing principal officers for the 10th Assembly Hon Aliyu Muktar Betara fits the bill to provide purposeful leadership in the Federal House of Representatives who has been in the National Assembly for the past 16 years and his sphere of influence extends beyond the Federal House of Representatives enter the world of Hon Aliyu Muktar Betera UPDATE NEWS: Nigerians can now earn US Dollars through domain flipping buy domain names for

not without rancor The recent announcement by the National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressive Congress (APC) has made it so We should not expect much drama from the Senate Maybe that is why it is called the House with many occupants and its tendency to get rowdy is commonplace and Hon Benjamin Kalu will be for Deputy Speaker But Hon Muktar Betera has said he is “better.” And he is leaving no stone unturned Those in support of Hon Muktar Betera have advocated for competence and capacity rather than ethnic and geographical considerations The APC presidential ticket didn’t factor religion with its Muslim-Muslim ticket What is good for the goose should be good for the gander But Hon Muktar Betera is the special one who attracts support similar to the rallying of bees to their queen in a hive Something tells me the President-Elect has told Betera to try his luck Aside from his popularity among his colleagues he is not your everyday politician that can be pushed aside He seems to have won the new members-elect to his side Insider sources also say the opposition prefers Betera over Abass Betera is likely the next Speaker of the House of Representatives Unless Betera backtracks and walks away from his ambition Remember the meeting he had with the President-Elect I don’t mind having you as the Speaker But you are from the same ethnicity as my Vice President and you know me” That is the quintessential Tinubu As far as the APC as a party is structured I assume the vice president-elect is watching closely Would he be comfortable with a Betera as Speaker That would mean too much power in Borno state who defines fair play when the North West got two slots ( deputy senate president and speaker) and the North Central got none Some have said the leadership of the National Assembly should be left for the lawmakers to decide This is because the APC is not the absolute majority And the decision of the party is not binding on other parties the opposition always goes against the ruling party’s choice But only succeeds if the candidate is popular and commands respect But it has to happen through a process that seems like going against the party I see nothing stopping him from clinching the speakership position for two reasons The majority of the returning members are his buddies The bulk of the new members see him as their own Ado Doguwa; the Chairman House Committee on Navy Abbas will primarily rely on the party structure to win He would not cut deals directly with the opposition And that puts him in a tight corner because the APC has won 162 seats out of the 325 seats declared while PDP won 102 It won’t be a smooth ride; I can bet for Tajudeen Abass The APC rule book does not bond these parties they will go against the choice of the APC Betera will make a powerful speaker of the House of Representatives And Tinubu needs such to drive his plans and policies given the urgency of now Those who know Tinubu say he does not like unnecessary drama Will Tinubu allow ethnicity or religion to get in his way in delivering results That Betera and the vice president-elect are from Borno state is happenstance But the job must be done

the cat out of the bag This was in court where he faced a rape charge was facing a lengthy jail stint for allegedly raping his maid Chido Betera In his defence Chifamba argued that Betera was not only an employee but as good as a second wife because she eventually began to perform domestic and conjugal chores at the Chifamba home The more Philip enjoyed the forbidden fruit the more careless he became and Betera consequently fell pregnant a scenario that led her to confess to her family about the alleged rape as the family believed her to be a virgin Betera’s aunt was not amused and she reported the matter to the police Antie Gladys Marevangepo revealed her reservations too about her niece’s version of events and facts “I cannot tell if Betera was raped or she was in a relationship with Philip because she only called me when I was at a workshop in Harare sometime last month to say she was no longer interested in working for the Chifambas as both Philip and Shantina were abusive and not paying her,” she said Gladys spoke after Chifamba’s defence team brought forward evidence to the effect that the two were lovers the first rape ordeal occurred on 17 April this year at which time she was allegedly a virgin Her testimony suggests that she should be five months pregnant WhatsApp messages between Chifamba and Betera were read in court In one of them she was asking him what they should do about the pregnancy He suggested that it should be terminated because his wife was going to kill her The other messages read in court indicated they were in a relationship From Betera’s phone there were also messages from Chifamba’s wife demanding $5 000 from the maid The case was adjourned to 3 October to allow the State to gather more evidence Copyright © 2025 | The Zimbabwe Mail
