Investment / Abuja Airport’s New Terminal To Process 15m Passengers Annually—FAAN by Peter12396(m): 2:48pm On Dec 16, 2018 |
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) says the newly completed terminal building at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, will process 15 million passengers annually when it begins operations. Mr Saleh Dunoma, the Managing Director of FAAN, told Newsmen on Sunday in Abuja that the terminal building was designed essentially to transport passengers. He said the terminal building would be inaugurated on Dec. 20 to enhance the operational capacity of the airport.The FAAN boss disclosed that the current carrying capacity of the airport was 7.5 million passengers per annum. He said that the inauguration of the new terminal would bring about expansion to the airport. He said that passengers would begin to enjoy comfort and efficient services, saying the terminal was built and equipped with modern facilities such as modern check-in, baggage handling and security facilities. “Currently, Abuja is doing like 7.5 million passengers annually in the old terminal, both domestic and international. He said that the nation now had a terminal that can process 15 million passengers which he described as a great departure from what it had before. “It is essentially designed for passengers, it is not the kind of terminal where you have several offices and aviances, it is just designed for passenger purposes and duty offices only. “So, most of the offices are going to remain in the old facility and then we will provide posts for the agencies that will participate in the processing of passengers. “All the passenger-handling facilities like the modern security equipment that are important for security are available in the new terminal. “We have modern check-in facility, we have modern baggage handling facility, and we have modern security surveillance gadget in the terminal. “It is a lot of departure from what we had in the existing facility and the arrangement is for the passenger-flow to be more efficient than what we had in the old terminal building,’’ he said. Dunoma said that there were plans to make sure that the old and new terminals work together to ensure connectivity. According to him, the authority will change its modalities of operations by providing free trolleys and WiFi services for all passengers in the new terminal. He added that the new terminal would attract more passengers and patronage from more international airlines. He said that there had been applications for additional frequencies into Abuja by some airlines. The FAAN boss said that authority had decided to delay granting such approvals because of the limited capacity and in order not to create congestions pending when the new facility would become operational. NAN reports that the Abuja Airport is one of the four new terminals being constructed at the cost of $600 million by the China Civil Engineering and Construction Company (CCECC) under the Export-Import Bank of China loan. The others are in Lagos, Port Harcourt and Kano and are being financed from the $500 million loan from China-Exim bank and $100 million counterpart funding from the Federal Government. President Muhammadu Buhari had in October inaugurated the one in Port Harcourt while the remaining two are expected to be opened for operations in 2019. |

Investment / Kian Smith Begins Construction Of Nigeria’s First Gold Refinery by Peter12396(m): 7:18pm On Dec 13, 2018 |
A groundbreaking by the Minister of State for Mines and Steel Development held today in Ogun State …refinery to be completed by end of H1 2019 …More than 500,000 jobs to be created in two years …The refinery to start with production capacity of 3 tonnes per month of 99.99% gold and 1 ton per month production of 99.99% silver. History was made in Nigeria on Thursday, as the country celebrated the ground breaking of its first gold refinery by the Minister of State for Mines and Steel Development Hon. Abubakar Bawa Bwari. The refinery being developed by indigenous minerals company Kian Smith Trade & Co Ltd. (“Kian Smith”) in Ogun State is scheduled to start production in 2019, sourcing most of its ore from miners in the country. “The present administration is determined to develop the mining sector to act as a catalyst for sustainable economic growth of the country,” said Hon. Bwari at the groundbreaking ceremony. “Part of our marching orders in the Mines and Stell Development ministry is that we are expected to develop the sector to increase its contribution to the nation’s GDP, improve its capacity to create jobs and engender sustainable mining,” the minister added, stressing that it was in keeping with his ministry’s mandate that a roadmap was developed for the growth and development of the mining sector. “During the focus labs of the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP) of this administration, we discovered that a well organised gold value chain can trigger an economic revolution like it did in India, South Africa, Switzerland and others,” he said further. He noted that the ministry has continued to work in this light to develop a gold value chain for the country. The refinery will start with a production capacity of 3 tonnes per month of 99.99% gold and 1 ton per month production of 99.99% silver. “We will be supplying the Central Bank, the Jewellery and the Electronic Industry,” said Nere Teriba, Vice Chairman of Kian Smith at the groundbreaking ceremony. “We have already secured a significant monthly supply of gold from Zamfara, Kebbi, Kwara, Niger, Kaduna, Ibadan, Ile-Ife, Ilesha and about 100kg per month from other parts of Africa. We are presently finalizing supply agreements and terms from suppliers in Kano. Next week, we will be securing supply from Kogi State,” she added. According to Teriba, the refinery when completed will provide more than 500,000 jobs in two years as it continues to support its suppliers in their bid to become registered business entities in the mining sector. “There’s at presently at least 1,000,000 unregistered business participants in the Nigerian market (considering gold miners, sponsors, dealers, processors, aggregators and gold-workers). The formalization, organization and development we bring to the value chain will provide quick wins to the Nigerian economy,” Teriba said. Also speaking, the Governor of Ogun State Sen. Ibikunle Amosu, who was represented by the Commisoner for Agriculture Adepeju Adebajo expressed enthusiasm about the refinery project which she said was in line with the state government’s industrialization plan. According to her, the project is a major boost to the Nigerian mining sector. “Apart from the fact that the strengthening of our mining industry will reduce importation of refined products, it will go a long way in affirming our country’s status as a world mining power.” The vice chairman of Kian Smith Nere Teriba said the refinery will be ready to start production by the end of the first half of 2019. 1 Like |
Business / Why Ghana Cedi Look Stronger Than Naira by Peter12396(m): 8:41am On Dec 13, 2018 |
The Ghana cedi (currency sign: GH₵; currency code: GHS) is the unit of currency of Ghana. It is the fourth and only legal tender in the Republic of Ghana. One Ghana cedi is divided into one hundred pesewas (Gp). After it gained independence Ghana separated itself from the British West African pound, which was the currency of the British colonies in the region. The new republic's first independent currency was the Ghanaian pound (1958-1965). In 1965, Ghana decided to leave the British colonial monetary system and adopt the widely accepted decimal system. The African name Cedi (1965-1967) was introduced in place of the old British pound system. Its first president Kwame Nkrumah introduced Cedi notes and Pesewa coins in July 1965 to replace the Ghana pounds, shillings and pence. The cedi was equivalent to eight shillings and four pence (8s 4d) and bore the portrait of the President After a military coup the new leaders wanted to remove the face of Nkrumah from the banknotes. The new cedi (1967-2007) was worth 1.2 cedi which made it equal to half of a pound sterling at its introduction. After decades of high inflation had devalued the new cedi, it was gradually phased out in 2007 in favor of the Ghana cedi at an exchange rate of 1:10,000. In 2007 the largest of the new cedi banknotes, the 20,000 note, had a value of about US$2. By removing four digits the Ghana cedi became the highest- denominated currency unit issued in Africa. It has since lost about 80% of its value. Note;ghana cedi is not stronger than naira they just removed four zeros to avoid their currency not to be like zimbabwe dollar by devaluation https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghanaian_cedi |

Technology Market / Why We Suspended Licensing Of 26ghz, 38ghz, 42ghz Frequency Bands —NCC by Peter12396(m): 10:09am On Dec 07, 2018 |
ABUJA—The Executive Vice Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, Prof. Danbatta says the Commission took the decision to suspend the licensing of some of the potential frequency bands of 26GHz, 38GHz and 42Ghz to ensure that Nigeria is not caught napping when the frequency bands are eventually harmonised for 5G deployment in region 1 by standardization bodies. •Danbatta made the revelation at the stakeholders consultative forum organised by the NCC on 5G readiness and High Altitude Platform Station Technologies, HAPS held in Abuja. He explained that though, the 5G framework is still being defined by the ITU, the Commission had to take the bull by the horn to ensure Nigeria’s readiness for the imminent 5G evolution by putting in place necessary regulatory frameworks so as to flow in the wave of the trend. According to him, the Commission decided to organise the forum in order to gather relevant inputs to be considered in developing regulatory framework in preparation for 5G and HAPS technologies because it considered 5G networks as the next generation of connectivity in the telecommunications industry. |

Technology Market / Edo Switches To Tech-based Governance by Peter12396(m): 4:00pm On Dec 01, 2018 |
The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has lauded the Edo State government’s commitment to digitising governance and enthroning a new era that will engender open and transparent processes in government business. Jacob described Obaseki as a genuine leader who is committed to lasting legacies via policies that are beneficial to the people of the state. “Under this administration we are seeing good leadership, we can see genuine commitment and determination; we are seeing the pursuit of legacies via articulate policies, beneficial programmes and initiatives.” He added that he has seen the massive “road construction and rehabilitation works across the state without any noise made about the projects.” Mr Jacob explained that they were in Government House to brief the governor on the ongoing initiative and programme of the commission in Edo State, called the Business Incentive Strategy (BIS), an initiative put in place to supplement the federal government’s policy on ease of doing business and efforts at encouraging and developing Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Nigeria. “It is a three-month window created for direct registration of business names at a reduced cost of N5,000. It is to ensure and encourage formalisation and registration of Business names at a reduced rate of 50 percent registration fee, from N10,000” he said. In his response, Governor Obaseki, said his administration has embraced digital technology to enable it compete globally with other progressive institutions, societies, states and nations around the world. He further said that his administration has entered into a partnership with reputable organisations to lay fibre optic cables across the state, starting from Benin City to rank among cities in Nigeria where digital access will be wide spread. “We are stepping up our game as a state and moving our whole platform of governance to digital platform for transparency and efficiency that come with digitalisation. Any society or institution that expects to compete globally must embrace digital technology”. He commended the group for the Business Incentive Strategy (BIS) programme which he noted, would encourage small businesses to formalise their operations and assured that his administration would work with the CAC on the project. |
Politics / Former US president George H.W. Bush dies at 94 by Peter12396(m): 9:48am On Dec 01, 2018 |
Former U.S. President George H.W. Bush, who presided over the end of the Cold War and routed Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi army died on Friday night at the age of 94, a family spokesman said. George H.W. Bush Bush, the 41st president of the United States, lived longer than any of his predecessors. His death at 10:10 p.m. Central time was announced in a statement issued by longtime spokesman Jim McGrath. Bush lost a chance for a second term after breaking a no-new-taxes pledge. But his son who bears his name, came in as the 43rd President after the era of Bill Clinton . The death was also announced by his family Friday night on Twitter. “George Herbert Walker Bush, World War II naval aviator, Texas oil pioneer, and 41st President of the United States of America, died on November 30, 2018. He was 94 and is survived by his five children and their spouses, 17 grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren, and two siblings,” the former president’s office said in a statement. “He was preceded in death by his wife of 73 years, Barbara; his second child Pauline “Robin” Bush; and his brothers Prescott and William or “Bucky” Bush.” His son George W. Bush, who served as the country’s 43rd president, released a statement of his own from the family. “Jeb, Neil, Marvin, Doro, and I are saddened to announce that after 94 remarkable years, our dear Dad has died,” George W. Bush said. Bush was a man of the highest character and the best dad a son or daughter could ask for. The entire Bush family is deeply grateful for 41’s life and love, for the compassion of those who have cared and prayed for Dad, and for the condolences of our friends and fellow citizens.” Bush was admitted to Houston Methodist Hospital with a blood infection on April 22 — two days after the funeral for his wife of 73 years, former first lady Barbara Bush. He is survived by his five children, including former President George W. Bush and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. Bush was with his wife when she died at the age of 92 on April 17. “He of course is broken-hearted to lose his beloved Barbara, his wife of 73 years. He held her hand all day and was at her side when [she] left this good earth,” a statement from his office said after her death. “But it will not surprise all of you who know and love him, that he also is being stoic and strong, and is being lifted up by his large and supportive family.”`(Reuters/ABC News/NAN) |
Technology Market / NAIJA Are You Ready? Super-fast 5G Internet By 2020 by Peter12396(m): 8:13pm On Nov 30, 2018 |
“NCC is already working on the three key factors that will drive 5G deployments, which include infrastructure, spectrum and regulation ahead of the 2020 rollout date" If you thought that your 4G broadband is fast, wait until you experience a 5G connection. And that won’t be long in coming as Nigeria has started trial of the roll-out plan of 5G networks with the 26GHz, 38GHz and 42GHz spectrum bands beginning with the Eko Atlantic Project. Nigeria’s telecom regulator, the Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, who disclosed this in Abuja on Thursday during a collaborative meeting with GSMA for 5G rollout in Nigeria, said roll-out will start by 2020. The Executive Vice Chairman of NCC, Prof. Umar Danbatta, said 5G broadband data will drive connectivity and allow humans to interact with connected devices to check their health status and remotely control home appliances. Also Read: Arm Yourself While You Can Danbatta acknowledged the deficit in infrastructure rollout and spectrum availability in the country but added that the NCC was already working to address the challenges. He said NCC would begin with the available 26GHz, 38GHz and 42GHz to drive 5G rollout in the country. “NCC is already working on the three key factors that will drive 5G deployments, which include infrastructure, spectrum and regulation ahead of the 2020 rollout date. “We will rely on existing policies and regulation and still come up with additional policies and regulation that will address any hiccups,” Danbatta said. |
Religion / I’m A Descendant Of Abraham – Buhari by Peter12396(m): 5:43pm On Nov 30, 2018 |
Ahead of the 2019 general elections, President Muhammadu Buhari has advised politicians not to politicize the election by introducing division between the two dominant religious groups in the country, the Christians and Muslims. President Buhari in an opinion piece published in Church Times of UK described himself as a Muslim and descendant of Abraham, stated that Nigeria has the largest Christian population in the continent. He said that he had come under heavy attack as someone that wants to Islamize Nigeria despite the fact that the Boko Haram sect has accused him of being against Islam, adding that the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo that is a devout Christian has also been accused of being lukewarm by selling out his religion in support of him (Buhari) The President said, “In 1844, the Revd Samuel Ajayi Crowther returned home to Yoruba land (now part of modern-day Nigeria). Twenty years earlier, he had been kidnapped and sold to European slave traders who were bound for the Americas. He was freed by an abolitionist naval patrol, and received by the Church Missionary Society. There, he found his calling. “Crowther made his voyage home to establish the first Anglican mission in Yoruba land. He came with the first Bibles translated into Yoruba and Hausa languages. He opened dialogue and discussion with those of other faiths. And his mission was a success: Crowther later became the first African Anglican bishop in Africa. “Today, Nigeria has the largest Christian population on the continent. The messages and teachings of Christianity are part of the fabric of each person’s life. “Along with the millions of Christians in Nigeria today, I believe in peace, tolerance, and reconciliation; in the institution of the family, the sanctity of marriage, and the honour of fidelity; in hope, compassion, and divine revelatio. “Like Bishop Crowther, I am a descendant of Abraham; unlike him, I am a Muslim. I believe our two great religions can not only peacefully coexist but also flourish together. But Muslims and Christians must first turn to one another in compassion. For, as it says in Amos 3.3: “Do two walk together, unless they have agreed to meet?” “As they are People of the Book, I believe that there is far more that unites Muslims and Christians than divides them. In fact, I believe that the messages of the Bible are universal: available for anyone to exercise, and instructive to all. “We must resist the temptation to retreat into our communities, because, if we do, we can only look inwards. It is only when we mix that we can reach new and greater possibilities. “Whichever religion or religious denomination they choose to follow, Nigerians are devout. Anything that Nigerians believe will place impositions on their practice, and belief is therefore sure to cause widespread alarm. “And, unfortunately, there are those who seek to divide Nigerians — and our two great religions — and to do so for their own advantage. “I stand accused — paradoxically — of trying to Islamise Nigeria while also being accused by Boko Haram terrorists of being against Islam. My Vice-President is a devout man, a Christian pastor. He, too, is accused of selling out his religion, because of his support for me. “This is not the first time that I — or, indeed, my Christian-Muslim evenly split cabinet — have been the subject of such nonsense. Fortunately, the facts speak differently from the words of those who seek to divide us from one another. “Since my administration has been in power, Boko Haram has been significantly and fatally degraded; I have befriended church leaders and church groups both within and outside our country; my Vice-President has addressed and opened dialogue with Muslims up and down our land. “In all things, we seek that which all well- meaning Christians and well-meaning Muslims must seek: to unite, respect, and never to divide. Does it not say “There is no compulsion in religion” (Qur’an 2.256)? Does it not say “Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us” (Luke 9.50)? This, surely, is the path that followers of both our two great religions must walk “Unfortunately, those who wish us all to walk apart have recently found another focus for their efforts: the tragic clashes between nomadic herdsmen and settled farmers in the central regions of Nigeria. “For generations, herders have driven their cattle from the north to the centre of our country; they tend to be predominantly Muslim, although not exclusively. The farmers, in certain areas of central Nigeria, are predominantly Christian. “The causes of this conflict are not religious or theological, but temporal. At the heart of this discord is access to rural land, exacerbated both by climate change and population growth. “Sadly, there are some who seek to play fast and loose and so make others believe that these are not the facts. When religion is claimed as the cause — and by those who know that it is not — it only makes finding a resolution more difficult. “The government has taken action to mediate, to bring the two groups together in peace and unity. But we also need all parties to follow the teachings of the scriptures, and encourage reconciliation rather than cause division. As it is said: “Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear?” (Mark 8.18). “As our constitution codifies, politicising religion has no place in Nigeria; for it makes us turn away from one another; it makes us retreat into our communities and walk different paths. “I believe that there is a better way. To those who seek to divide, I still hold my hand out in brotherhood and forgiveness. I ask only that they stop, and instead encourage us to turn towards one another in love and compassion. Nigeria belongs to all of us. This is what I believe.” |

Crime / Ringleader Of Yahoo Plus Gang That Kidnapped, Killed DELSU Student Slumps, Dies by Peter12396(m): 7:14pm On Nov 29, 2018 |
THE mastermind of the Yahoo Plus gang that abducted and murdered a 300-level student of Delta State University, DELSU, Abraka, Elozino Ogege, has slumped and died However, there is an unconfirmed report that gangsters beheaded a 12-year-old girl, Eguono, at Oghara, the country home of former governor of Delta State, Chief James Ibori, Thursday, less than two weeks after suspected Yahoo Plus boys decapitated a woman. The gang leader of Elozino’s murder allegedly slumped and died when police detectives trapped him at his hideout in Abraka, but four other suspects, including an herbalist, two private security guards are in police custody at the Police Headquarters, Asaba, Delta State. Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Delta Command, DSP Andrew Aniamaka, confirmed the death of the mastermind to Vanguard. While two of the suspects, a private security guard and internet fraudster, who spoke to our reporter, admitted they participated in the crime, the herbalist and private security supervisor spoke tongue in cheek. DSP Aniamaka disclosed that police arrested a sixth suspect, a little girl used by the mastermind as red herring to make phone, but the police believe she is a victim. “The mastermind known to be a fraudster just returned from Ghana, we made efforts to pick him, but it was not easy, but what was in our favour was our promptness, the speed with which we worked. Between the Thursday that incident happened and Saturday, we have got most of the suspects. “Yes, one of them slumped; in fact, the master mind knowing that we have got him slumped and gave up the ghost. “Quickly, the second fraudster, Desmond, was caught and he told us he had been engaged in four previous cases. He identified the herbalist that they take the body parts of female folk to for ritual,” he said. Desmond admitted to Vanguard that he is an internet fraudster and it was the herbalist that asked them to get the eyes, breasts and hearts of their victims for charms that will make any white man accept whatever they tell them in their line of business. The herbalist denied the allegation, but Desmond insisted they bring body parts to him after killing their victims. The security guard, Onos who was in possession of Elozino’s phone that enabled the police to track him, confessed that his supervisor engaged him to work for the gang, but the supervisor, Nwaosisi, denied the charge. However, Onos said his boss tactically deployed him to work with the gang and was sorry for participating in the crime. |
