Why Channels Forum On Police Academy Was Postponed by Maxymilliano(m): 1:56pm On Jan 22, 2013
The much anticipated Channels Forum on rebuilding the police college has been postponed to enhance the participation of all stakeholders involved in the revamping of this70 year old institution.

The General Manager Operations (GMO) of Channels Television, Kayode Akintemi on Channels TV breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily on Tuesday explained that the postponement was in order to ensure the involvement of every stakeholder that is essential in the rebuilding of the police academy.

“We have had an unforeseen circumstance that has led to a situation where the management of Channels Television has to be very responsible in the way they handle things.” stated Mr Akintemi.

The Police Project is geared to rebuild the police academy and it is planned to involve stakeholders such as Nigerian Police Force, the Nigerian government, the Civil Society and Channels Television along with corporate Nigeria.

All of these stakeholders must be carried along for a definite grasp of what is needed to be done, he clarified.

Reacting to online insinuations that the television station has been pressurised by the federal government, Channels TV GMO affirmed that the station was not in any way bowing to pressure from authority to refrain the programme.

Mr Akintemi asserted that “Channels TV cannot be intimidated. We cannot be cowed.”

“We have a duty and responsibility to Nigerians, we have ethical standards that we work to and that’s why we are the first Nigerian television to have won the press prizefor TV station of the year seven times.”

He further explained that “this is a CSR programme….as far as journalism is concerned, we have adequately done our bit by exposing the rot in the police academy andwe can hands off once the President, the police or military are ready to do whatever they want to do. We have done our bit.”

He noted that some fundamental issues affect the capacity of our security officials and “that is why Channels TV has chosen to focus on the training of the police officials.

We want to takeit a step further as our CSR and we cannot shave somebody’s head in their absence” therefore “we just have to carry the police along.”

Mr Akintemi also denied that the event has been cancelled indefinitely, saying “the event is postponed to get things in order.”

“We are looking at having it as soon as possible” adding that “we will soon get it reconvened and the event will hold in the coming weeks.”

He also made it clear that the station’s editorial judgement is not compromised, “changing the date has absolutely nothing with our editorial judgment.”

We will continue to sensitise Nigerians on this issue to sustain the interest of corporate Nigeria and Nigerians as a whole to find a solution to this problem.

A new date for the Channels Forum will soon be announced.

I stated this earlier on another thread

Maxymilliano: It was postponed, not suspended and the reasons may not be disconnected from the President visit to the college.

A serving AIG, Marvel Akpoyibo is one of the guest participants and he's expected to make contributions as a representative of the Force, but guess the unscheduled visit of the President temporarily put paid to that.

Going ahead with the forum without any representation and contribution from the Police will defeat the primary aim of the CSR Initiatives by Channels Tv, hence the postponement.

Technically the forum has ended, since he made this comment

Now that the president has visited the police college,the national assembly has said they are going to probe the found for police trainee
Moreover some top police officer will loose their job on this issue for sure.

Add "traitors against their nation" to that list. Is it not the same sort of people who insulted some of us recently because we stated that nothing would come of the Ribadu Petroleum task force report? These shameless sycophants lied to others and to themselves, right on this same forum, about "white paper", "harmonised version", "ratified copy", "approved version" and other bullsh1te rhetoric when we should all be in agreement that "nothing will happen" given the historically deceitful conduct of our President. Jonathan has had a squillion chances to prove sincerity of purpose. Yet he has let Nigerians down every time by being the same person to ignore the recommendation he willingly went to seek expensively. What is the situation with that Ribadu probe today after the "few months" marker you identified and after all the jargon we read here from shameless cretins?

They are at it again with this issue and overall, you waste your time with these unrepentant sycophant. Their motivation is something you will never understand because they don't and will never see Nigeria. These people have no shame and will continue to defend GEJ blindly. They are the individuals who vividly illustrate that our nationhood is lost and that Nigerian will have it much tougher than others because of the concept of the 'enemy within'. They are the reason a very clueless man will remain in office damaging Nigeria and making the work of future leaders much harder.

How many probes, how many committees? How many more Crocodile tears and empty promises? I think in Nations with even moderately united and sophisticated citizens, politically, majority would have put their differences aside to condemn GEJ as a big fraud.

Let me ask this question: What exactly is the job of SERVICOM? I think SERVICOM should spend less money in erecting signboards and doing television adverts, and actually visit and inspect government institutions to ensure the citizens are getting good service.

The idea of SERVICOM is a good one, but it needs a good and no-nonsense leader who will give the agency the same kind of reputation that Dora gave NAFDAC. As kids we never knew NAFDAC existed. It was the active nature of Dora that made the institution a household name.

The combined cacophony of the voices of 'fearful' Esau and the deceitful ploy of Godloving Jacob. I'll stand by the decision of the John Momoh led Channels Communication management team to take a cue (after seeing the body language of the worlds' most powerful president from Nigeria) to sustain their survival and security from the frustration of a god-man who is simply too pretencious to admit and accept help knowing that the task ahead is far above his head. Now we too well what not to believe

As journalists they have done their bit, moreso when the President has now visited. Let us see what the FG will do to tthat college and to several police installations in the country that are in TERRIBLE inhabitable conditions. The president needs to also pay unscheduled visit to some barracks to see how narrow and dirty toilets have been converted to bedrooms! Our politicians do not seem to have a clue of what is going on in Nigeria.
