50 Golden Cheers to the Hit FM Boss, Patrick Ugbe as he turns 50 today

The CEO of Hit FM, Calabar's premier private radio station, Mr. Patrick Ugbe is 50 today.

Born April 21, 1966 in Enugu, this mercurial broadcaster and seasoned professional, has within 50 years notched up a lot of accomplishments.

Ugbe, a seasoned broadcaster with over 27 years cognate experience in various dimensions of electronic journalism, has initiated, produced and presented several programmes that have been critical to the socio-economic development of Nigeria.

Urbane, articulate, disciplined and driven by hardwork and excellence, Patrick was born on April 21, 1966. He had his primary education at Holy Child Convent School, Ogoja, and Primary School, Akim Qua Town, Calabar. After his secondary education at Hope Waddle Training Institution and St. Patrick’s College, Calabar, he proceeded to the University of Calabar, where he acquired a Bachelor of Arts, (Hons) degree in Theatre Arts in 1987.

After his graduation, Patrick quickly cut his teeth in the core elements of television programming and presentation while on National Service (NYSC) at the Nigeria Television Authority, NTA 2 Channel 5, Lagos in 1988. Twenty Eight years later, through dint of hardwork and creativity, he has become a professional to be reckoned with in the broadcast industry and the media in general. In carving a niche in the media, he has drawn deeply from professional training he had at NTA’s Television College, Jos, Communications Group Inc. Richmond Virginia, USA, and the Lagos Business School.

Patrick was appointed Chief Press Secretary and Special Assistant, Media to the Governor of Cross River State in 2007. Putting the interest of the state first, he resigned as the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of DBS Media ( a TV Production/Service Company he co-founded) to offer his services and experience to the government and people of Cross River State. As CPS/SA Media, Patrick was driving the media relations and Corporate Communication of the Governor, Senator Liyel Imoke, and the government of Cross River State using multi-media platforms. During this period, he helped consolidate the branding of the state as a destination, positioning the government strategically in terms of responsible governance and benchmark service delivery.

Again due to his hardwork and performance, he was elevated to the position of Commissioner for Information and Orientation in December 2010, a position he held creditably, breathing new life into the affairs of the Ministry. In March 2012, he was re-appointed and assigned to the Ministry of Youth & Sports Development after the re-election of Governor Imoke. He virtually transformed that sector, making Cross River State not just a force to be reckoned with in sports, but a destination for sporting excellence.

In his quest to serve in higher capacity, Patrick voluntarily resigned in October 2014, to declare his aspiration for the office of Governor of Cross River State. He saw through this aspiration with decorum and the believe that power comes from God, and whoever God places the mantle of leadership of the state on, should get the support of all.

He was re-appointed as Commissioner, Youth & Sports Development in March, 2015, a position he held until the successful hand-over to a new administration on May 29, 2015.

After completing his tour of duty, Patrick returned to his first love, this time by pioneering private broadcast in Cross River State. He launched the first private radio station “HIT FM”, which has revolutionized radio broadcast in Cross River.

A man of integrity and purpose, Patrick has won many awards in broadcasting and political career. He is married with three lovely daughters. Widely travelled, his hobbies include reading, sports, travelling and meeting people.

He has won several Awards and Honours such as the Julie Coker Award for Best Presentation on Nigerian TV, 1990; Producer of Best Entertainment Programme, “HITS” on TV, 1993; Best TV Commentator for the “Pepsi Pro-League for MBI Sports Desk”, May 1999, and overall for the year 1999.

His motto is "live and let's live"

FG To Begin Payment Of Salaries By 25th Of Every Month – AGF

The Accountant-General of the Federation (AGF), Mr Ahmed Idris, says the Federal Government plans to begins payment of staff salaries by the 25th of every month, as directed by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Idris, who disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Wednesday, said “this is going to be given a test, I believe, by this month’’.

The AGF also said that the government was working on a new arrangement, which, if approved, would ensure payment of the salaries before the monthly meeting of the Federal Accounts Allocation Committee (FAAC).

According to him, usually, salaries are paid after the FAAC meeting, where revenue accruing to the federation’s account are shared between the federal, state and local governments.

“There is a standing instruction of Mr President to pay salary on or before 24 or 25 of every month and we will try as much as possible to comply and to abide by that.

“We are taking a step further to make a provision whereby we can accommodate salary payments even before FAAC.

“This is going to be given a test I believe by this month.

“We will go to seek for necessary approval of our political masters to make sure that at least salary and other statutory payments are made even before FAAC.

“Because we can project how much they are and therefore we can prepare and hit the ground running to make them realisable and actualised.

“Even where we delay FAAC, we can still pay salary.’’

Idris dispelled the widely held belief that the Treasury Single Account (TSA) policy is responsible for the delay in the payment of salaries and attributed the situation to the crash in global oil prices, which has affected the inflow of income to the country.

“Nigeria is practically making about 30 to 40 per cent of what it used to make by way of revenue from oil and that has affected inflow generally.

“These inflows are what the federal, state and local governments receive to service the economy.

“It is when we receive these resources and sit at the end of the month for FAAC that the resources are shared among the three tiers of government.’’

Citing the benefits of TSA, Idris said that more than N2.7 trillion had been realised under a single account domiciled at the Central Bank of Nigeria.

He also said that the cost of borrowing by government agencies had been reduced substantially and that the economy was already a beneficiary of the policy.

“The monies are stimulating the economy in a way that delivery of social goods, services and efficiency in government expenditure are being achieved.

“So I believe that they are already serving the purpose for which they are meant and they are within the economy.’’

He said he was optimistic having seen the benefits of the TSA policy to the Federal Government, states governments would key into it.

Idris said that any insinuations that the policy would lead to laying off of staff by deposit money banks was unfounded as the policy was not intended to disrupt the operations of those banks.

He, therefore, advised commercial banks to re-strategise on how to make profit without relying on government funds.

“I think banks need to really focus themselves and re-direct themselves to face traditional banking business and not rely heavily on public resources.

“They should be more strategic and focused and I believe that they will be better for it.’’

NAN reports that the TSA policy was introduced in Sept. 2015 to ensure that government resources are centralised in a single account.

It was introduced to block leakages in the system to ensure transparency and efficiency in the management of government resources. (NAN)
