As \u003C\u002Fem>\u003Cstrong>Vanessa Obioha\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003Cem>learns in a recent encounter, putting the Nigerian brand first is a personal obligation.\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Otunba Olusegun Runsewe had chosen a far corner table of the semi-lit hotel restaurant in Ikeja for our meeting. It was a sunny afternoon, but there was a slight chill in the air. His tall frame was embraced by the armchair. Dressed in a beige caftan, paired with a matching cap, his poise exuded the confidence of one ready to take on any challenge thrown at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>It is an art he has mastered over more than three decades of serving in one government capacity or another. Therefore, when I asked him about his work at the Nigerian Golf Federation (NGF), where he serves as president, there was no hesitation in his response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Golf is a sport he had been familiar with since his days in Kaduna, where he grew up, although he was not committed to it. Since assuming the leadership of the federation, however, he has been hands-on, injecting new ideas and reviving old tournaments such as the Nigeria Open Golf Tournament, scheduled for November 16-27, 2027. It will be the first time the tournament will be held in two decades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>For Runsewe, the goal is more than just raising the standard of golf in Nigeria to an international level. It is also about marketing Nigeria through the sport. Golf, he believes, has the potential to generate more revenue for the government, but more importantly, it is a sport where networking is vital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“Golf is the biggest network in the world,” he shared. “If you travel anywhere in the world for a conference or a seminar, the moment someone in the team inquires if you play golf, and you respond in the affirmative, a family is built instantly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>What makes it even more unique, he said, is that unlike other sports where camaraderie and bonding are often built among spectators, in golf, the players drive that relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“We are just understanding now that golf is not just about the game but the network, relationship and content,” he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Just as he did in tourism, where he promoted the slogan ‘tourism is life’, Runsewe is using the same template in golf, seeing it not just as a sport but as a vehicle to promote the Nigerian brand. He has also discovered that golfers are among the most travelled people in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>For someone whose career has spanned media, arts and culture, tourism and now sports, selling Nigeria to the world has become second nature to him. It is difficult for him to speak about anything without putting the Nigerian brand first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>That instinct was formed much earlier in his career. Runsewe’s experience at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in 2003 remains one of the stories he recalls with particular fondness. The then President Olusegun Obasanjo wanted to send one or two officials to understudy CHOGM in countries that had previously hosted it. Several officials were approached, but none was available. Then the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Finance, Thelma Iremiren, suggested Runsewe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“I was quite a young officer then, and Baba (Obasanjo) is someone who likes to be sure that one can deliver. But Mrs Iremiren insisted that I would deliver. I can tell you this: when God is with you, when your time has come, everything will fall into place.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The young officer found himself travelling to five countries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“When they tell you that you are going with the envoy of the president, please don’t take it for granted. It’s a lifetime experience that I will never forget,” he said, recalling those days nostalgically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>But the experience did not end there. When he returned, he was asked to go to London to represent Nigeria. He was in his 30s then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“I took a flight. I got to London. A staff member of the Nigerian embassy at the airport took me straight to the Commonwealth Secretariat in London, only for me to open the door and see close to about 60 people all over the world in the hall. The next thing I heard was, ‘The gentleman we are expecting has arrived.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“I said, ‘What is this?’ I started reciting Psalm 23: The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.  I started praying to God. ‘God, help me.’ So I sat down. There was nothing I could do again. I had to answer the questions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The moderator, a Canadian woman, kept asking him questions. Deploying his journalistic skills, Runsewe rose to the task. When she asked if Nigeria could provide 10 cubicles of internet fibre, the young Runsewe, growing in confidence, responded that Nigeria had 20, even though he had no idea if the country had that or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He returned to Nigeria that day and immediately reported to his principal that he had committed Nigeria to what he called a positive challenge. He immediately got presidential approval to go to South Africa to find a company that could deliver what he had promised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>It was the same with the OB vans. He contacted Peter Igho, then Executive Director of Programmes at the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), and he provided the necessary vans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>By the time the Commonwealth Secretariat came to Nigeria for inspection, everything was in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“That was my turning point,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>It was after that event that he was appointed to the tourism sector.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Runsewe has arguably spent much of his career selling Nigerian tourism to the world. This was particularly evident during his time as Director-General of the Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation (NTDC) – then NTDA. With a master’s degree in Marketing, Runsewe adopted the SWOT approach when marketing Nigeria, although his particular method was anything but conventional. The first place he visits whenever he arrives in a new country is the prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“I go to the prison to check the strength of Nigeria, to check the opportunities and the threats. If you don’t get that right, you may be selling the right product to the wrong people.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>His findings were often revealing. Most of the people in prisons were often believed to be Nigerian, but this turned out not to be the case. More revealing was his claim that 80 per cent of foreigners believed every black man was from Nigeria. All of this, he said, happened at a time when Nigerian passports were very porous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Beyond correcting perceptions of Nigeria outside its shores, Runsewe left his mark on the tourism sector. Just take a look at the Nigerian passport and the cultural icons printed on it. He initiated them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>During the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Runsewe wrote to then President Goodluck Jonathan, asking to build a village where Nigerians could watch the tournament. He saw it as an opportunity to promote and celebrate the country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>His request was approved, and the first Nigerian Village was built, drawing hundreds of people in an atmosphere of celebration and conviviality. Entertainers were also on hand to keep the atmosphere lively during half-time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“We were actually voted the best village in that World Cup,” he recalled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He replicated that at the World Cup in Russia in 2018.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>But for Runsewe, promoting Nigeria is not only about tourism attractions. It is also about how Nigerians see themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“It’s unfortunate that most of us don’t know much about our country,” he said. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>For that to change, he suggested a major public enlightenment campaign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“We need to understand that our country is important and our identity is not our tribe or religion but the country. We must see it as honour,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He also talked about the lack of continuity in governance, citing examples from his tenure in the tourism sector, where he prioritised staff welfare by providing certain facilities at subsidised rates. In his view, the welfare of the people must always be paramount, as that will also bring out the best in them\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Runsewe also proposed the establishment of reorientation camps in every local government to teach young people about Nigerian culture, which, according to him, they have become disconnected from. He suggested that retired teachers should be deployed for the task because they possess the teaching skills needed to reach the grassroots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“Before, if you are invited to come and play any sport, football or tennis for Nigeria, we feel very excited, so happy. These days, they bargain for how much you are going to pay them. We need to enlighten our people on the importance of respecting and believing in our culture.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Like tourism, Runsewe also contributed to the arts and crafts sector, serving as Director-General of the National Council for Arts and Culture. He is currently President of the World Craft Council, which earlier this year honoured him with the Icon of Crafts, Culture and Hospitality in Africa Award.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Even his appearance reflects the sector that has shaped much of his career. He is mostly seen in kaftans with matching caps, a style that has become part of his identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Now, in golf, he appears to be applying the same ideals that guided him in tourism: find a platform, build a network and use it to promote Nigeria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>There is still much he wants to achieve. But for someone who has spent most of his life occupying one position or another, Runsewe knows there will eventually be a time to slow down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>While he remains tight-lipped about his retirement plans, he is conscious of the fact that “the moment I come to a certain age, I will take a break.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He, however, remains convinced about the Nigerian project.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“There is still hope for us,” he said convincingly, as if he had seen the future of Nigeria in a crystal ball. “No country in the world would wake up one day and get everything right. Because if they do, then where is the place for history or to tell a story?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n","olusegun-runsewe-always-flying-nigerian-flag-high",{"id":60,"createdAt":61,"updatedAt":62,"name":63,"slug":64},"af2efbea-0d85-4fdf-a1c3-2400868c9e10","2026-03-25T11:40:10.958Z","2026-05-21T21:50:14.000Z","Nigeria","nigeria",[66,67,68,69,70,71,72],"olusegun","runsewe","always","flying","nigerian","flag","high","https:\u002F\u002Fglobal.ariseplay.com\u002Famg\u002Fwww.thisdaylive.com\u002Fuploads\u002FScreen-Shot-2026-10-11-at-3.36.10-AM.png",null,{"id":76,"createdAt":77,"updatedAt":78,"name":79,"image":80,"slug":81},"676b27a5-8a43-458d-91ba-45c07367106b","2026-03-26T09:35:16.600Z","2026-08-13T13:04:20.834Z","This

Calls for Evidence-based Assessment of Surveillance Contracts for Pipelines in Niger Delta","The Coalition of Civil Society Organisations for Good Governance (CCSOGG) has called for an evidence-based assessment of surveillance contracts for pipelines in the Niger Delta, as it called on stakeholders","\u003Cdiv style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" >\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\u003Cp>The Coalition of Civil Society Organisations for Good Governance (CCSOGG) has called for an evidence-based assessment of surveillance contracts for pipelines in the Niger Delta, as it called on stakeholders to avoid claims that are not verified, which are capable of undermining critical national security operations.\u003Cbr>The coalition kicked against allegations surrounding the value and performance of\u003Cbr>the Pipeline Infrastructure Nigeria Limited (PINL) and its Project Director, Osahon Okunbo, as it relates to the company’s pipeline surveillance contract.\u003Cbr>A statement issued by the group’s spokesman, Comrade Declan Ihekaire, said legitimate questions about government contracts should be addressed through official documents and verifiable evidence rather than unsubstantiated claims.\u003Cbr>According to the coalition, it has followed with serious concern the renewed controversy surrounding pipeline surveillance contracts in the Niger Delta, particularly the allegations being circulated against Pipeline Infrastructure Nigeria Limited (PINL) and its Project Director, Mr. Osahon Okunbo.\u003Cbr>“We consider it necessary to speak at this time, not because legitimate questions about public contracts should be suppressed, but because public accountability must be based on facts, documents and verifiable evidence, not sensational allegations capable of damaging reputations, destabilising communities and undermining critical national security operations.\u003Cbr>“The Coalition therefore rejects, in its entirety, the attempt to portray PINL and Mr. Osahon Okunbo as beneficiaries of some fictitious ₦2.7 trillion personal pipeline surveillance arrangement.\u003Cbr>The group said further, “If there are questions about government expenditure, the appropriate response is for the relevant authorities to publish the contracts, payment schedules, scope of work and performance records and allow Nigerians to interrogate them. What is unacceptable is the circulation of figures without documentary evidence and the subsequent use of such figures to blackmail individuals”, the group said.\u003Cbr>“We are particularly concerned that a figure of ₦2.7 trillion has been publicly associated with PINL and Mr. Osahon Okunbo.” It said.\u003Cbr>“As at today, no credible documentary evidence has been publicly produced establishing that PINL receives ₦2.7 trillion annually for pipeline surveillance. Indeed, recent reports on the controversy have equally noted the absence of publicly presented contract or payment records supporting that allegation.\u003Cbr>“The Coalition is therefore demanding a simple standard:\u003Cbr>If the allegation is true, let the document be produced.\u003Cbr>If it is not true, those responsible for spreading it must have the courage and responsibility to correct the record”, it said.\u003Cbr>It is dangerous to casually attach such an enormous figure to a named individual, particularly when that individual is involved in a sensitive national security assignment. Such allegations can expose the person, his family, employees and communities associated with the operation to unnecessary hostility and security risks.\u003Cbr>“We have also examined available information surrounding the PINL arrangement and wish to make clear that the figure being bandied about in the public space should not be confused with the actual value of the contract attributed to PINL.\u003Cbr>“The Coalition’s understanding is that the PINL contract is in the region of ₦150 billion, and certainly not the ₦2.7 trillion figure being irresponsibly attributed to the company or its leadership. We challenge anyone who has documentary evidence to the contrary to publish it”, the coalition said.\u003Cbr>It further noted that “This distinction is important because a government contract is not automatically the personal income of the individuals managing the company. A contract value covers personnel, equipment, logistics, security operations, technology, subcontractors, community engagement and other operational obligations.\u003Cbr>“It is therefore intellectually dishonest to take a corporate contract figure, whatever it may be, and present it as money personally collected by an individual.”\u003Cbr>The coalition said available information suggested that the figure being circulated should not be confused with the actual value of the contract attributed to PINL, which it put at about N150 billion.\u003Cbr>It stressed, however, that contract values should not be equated with personal income, noting that such agreements typically cover personnel, equipment, logistics, security operations, technology, community engagement and other operational expenses.\u003Cbr>The group urged the federal government and relevant agencies to assess pipeline surveillance contractors based on measurable performance, including reduction in vandalism, protection of crude oil production, community relations, technology deployment and value for money.\u003Cbr>It said PINL is responsible for surveillance operations along the Eastern Corridor of the Trans Niger Pipeline, covering parts of Rivers, Bayelsa, Abia and Imo states.\u003Cbr>The coalition cited figures attributed to the company indicating a significant reduction in pipeline infractions and vandalism attempts compared with previous years.\u003Cbr>It also referred to reports by PINL that there had been no reported pipeline vandalism on sections of the Trans Niger Pipeline in Bayelsa and the wider corridor during a period under review, attributing the development to collaboration among the company, security agencies and host communities.\u003Cbr>The group said such claims should be independently assessed by relevant government authorities.\u003Cbr>It also highlighted the reported involvement of traditional rulers, youth leaders, women and other community stakeholders in pipeline surveillance activities.\u003Cbr>According to the coalition, PINL’s operations cover about 215 communities along the Eastern Corridor, while the company has also reported engaging thousands of youths in surveillance and related activities.\u003Cbr>The group said community participation was important to the protection of oil and gas infrastructure, particularly in areas characterised by difficult terrain and extensive waterways.\u003Cbr>The coalition also commended the reported deployment of technology in pipeline surveillance, including drones, surveillance stations, security vessels, mobile response units and round-the-clock monitoring.\u003Cbr>It said Nigeria needed to strengthen the use of technology and intelligence alongside conventional security arrangements to protect critical oil and gas infrastructure.\u003Cbr>The coalition further urged the federal government to conduct independent assessments of all contractors before deciding whether existing arrangements should be retained, reviewed or expanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n","group-calls-for-evidence-based-assessment-of-surveillance-contracts-for-pipelines-in-niger-delta",{"id":303,"createdAt":304,"updatedAt":304,"name":305,"slug":306},[1884,1885,1886,1887,1888,1889,1890,427,312],"group","calls","evidencebased","assessment","surveillance","contracts","pipelines","https:\u002F\u002Fglobal.ariseplay.com\u002Famg\u002Fwww.thisdaylive.com\u002Fuploads\u002FPIC-179.jpeg",{"id":76,"createdAt":77,"updatedAt":78,"name":79,"image":80,"slug":81},5,"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.thisdaylive.com\u002F2026\u002F10\u002F10\u002Fgroup-calls-for-evidence-based-assessment-of-surveillance-contracts-for-pipelines-in-niger-delta\u002F",{"id":1896,"createdAt":1897,"updatedAt":1898,"title":1899,"excerpt":1900,"content":1901,"slug":1902,"topic":1903,"tags":1904,"image":74,"author":74,"feed":1911,"views":1872,"type":83,"readTime":1918,"externalSourceUrl":1919},"ffb1a8b7-b0ce-48aa-ac3c-1f995e96e1bf","2026-10-10T07:40:01.385Z","2026-10-10T14:52:42.000Z","FG
