The Jonathan administration secretly, and in open violation of lawful contracting procedures, has awarded an Israeli firm, Elbit Systems, with headquarters in Haifa, a $40million contract to help it spy on citizens’ computers and Internet communications under the guise of intelligence gathering and national security.

According to Premium Times Elbit announced the contract award Wednesday in a global press release but was silent on the Nigerian destination of the contract. Its general manager, Yehuda Vered, opaquely announced that “Elbit Systems will supply its Wise Intelligence Technology (WiT) system to an unnamed country in Africa under a new $40 million contract announced on 24 April… for Intelligence Analysis and Cyber Defense,” but effusively claimed, in the statement, that his company is “proud to be selected to supply this unique system, which is already field-proven, fully operational and customisable.

“Elbit Systems is a world leader in the fields of intelligence analysis and cyber defense, with proven solutions highly suitable for countries, armies and critical infrastructure sites. We hope that additional customers will follow in selecting our highly advanced and cutting edge systems in these fields as their preferred solution,” Mr. Vered added.

Later he will open his mouth that he wants to tackle unemployment

...."According to Premium Times Elbit announced the contract award Wednesday in a global press release but was silent on the Nigerian destination of the contract..."

Then where is the PROOF that it was the Nigerian government who awarded the contract ? Not that its not possible for Nigeria to do such but as long as there is no proof, then I'll just tag this as another piece of irresponsible journalism.

this is what i call standardized rubbish topic ,total waste of time and space

I remember when journalism was journalism, the pay was poor but the practitioners took pride and joy in their work, I remember when integrity had a definition in this noble profession but now ? Thugs and nincompoops want to force feed their opinions down on us. Isorite
