Nigeria To Launch 2 New Satellites With China Loan - Shittu by CeoNewshelm(m): 12:41pm On Jan 24, 2017 |
The Minister of Communications, Mr Adebayo Shittu on Monday said Nigeria has planned to build and launch two additional satellites to space to improve local communication capacity. This is coming as the Minister warned that Nigeria must not scare away MTN as lawmakers investigate alleged illegal money transfers just three months after the government fined Africa’s biggest telecoms firm over $1 billion. Shittu said the new satellites will be build using a $550 million loan from the Export-Import Bank of China, which will cover 85% of the cost while Nigeria will finance the other 15 per cent. The minister, thereby call on domestic and foreign investors to take part in the funding. Recall that the minister had during a town hall meeting in Kaduna on the one year anniversary of President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration, said legislation would be made to protect investment, patronage and compel Nigerian institutions to host their information locally. He said then that Nigeria would launch two additional satellites to space to improve local communication capacity because businesses in Nigeria were skeptical of linking the only satellite Nigeria has because of fear of crash. http://www.newshelm.com/2017/01/nigeria-to-launch-2-new-satellites-with.html 2 Likes

Channel the fund into the power sector. Electricity is a basic need and I wonder why it has been neglected for so long. Give Nigerians constant (or at least near constant) electricity and you'd be surprised the outcome. If after that there's still fund to waste on satellites, then face the refineries and get them working. It's a clueless government like all the governments before it. How can you start constructing a building from the roof? 8 Likes 2 Shares |

NwamaziNwaAro: If communication and connectivity is not your concern, I wonder where you are from? Apart from communication, satellite could also provide Nigeria with the ability to enhance food security through monthly crop monitoring, assist with burgeoning urban planning demands and, through the development of engineering skills, advance the country's technological capability.

My question is should securing a satellite be so imminent that we need a loan to get it done when of course we would be hiring the same Chinese to conduct the launching. Do these guys reason at all ? Couldnt they secure a loan to conduct wide-scale massive agricultural projects across the entire states that will push up production, reduce cost on processed goods, reduce dependent-mindset on oil, create jobs and opportunities, reduce importation and combat the rising prices of food? Please help me guys help me.. am i crazzzzy or is it these guys 5 Likes 1 Share |
