Politics / Peacepro Call On FG To Prosecute Those Involved In $11b P&ID Fraud Conspiracy by bilms(m): 11:02pm On Nov 04, 2023 |
PeacePro call on FG to prosecute all those involved in $11b P&ID fraud conspiracy _Says every penny spent on ligation must be recovered from economic saboteurs_ A peacebuilding think tank, Foundation for Peace Professionals also known as PeacePro has called on the Federal Government of Nigeria to prosecute all those involved in the conspiracy to defraud Nigeria by Process & Industrial Developments (P&ID) Limited. PeacePro said that, the attempt to defraud Nigeria by P&ID to the tune of $11billion is not an isolated case, as several of such cases exists, some of which maybe ongoing and others concluded, noting that those involved in the scam are a cartel that must be exposed and severely punished. In a statement by the Executive Director of PeacePro, Amb Abdulrazaq Hamzat over the weekend, PeacePro said that Commercial Courts of England and Wales saved Nigeria from what could literally be described as catastrophe of the greatest order and we must do everything possible to ensure the country is never put at the mercy of foreign government to address crisis of such magnitude. According to Hamzat, after a long, tortuous legal battle, Nigeria narrowly escape from a hefty penalty of over $11billion over a fraudulent failed 2010 deal to develop a gas processing plant in the country. Justice Robin Knowles of the Commercial Courts of England and Wales halted enforcement of a $11 billion Process & Industrial Developments (P&ID) Limited arbitration award against Nigeria, which has been described as scam. According to the judge, the company’s award against Nigeria was obtained by fraud. Hamzat explained that, Nigeria may have succeeded in upturning the fine, which is about 30% of our national budget, but that is after spending over $40 million in litigation fees and the federal government must treat all those involved as economic saboteurs. Hamzat maintained that, those involved are scattered amongst the senior civil and public servants, with support of some private players and President Tinubu and the national assembly must address the situation like a national emergency. He concluded that all business deals involving govt, either concluded or currently disputed should be reviewed to identify pattern of fraud and the respective players. https://thenews-chronicle.com/peacepro-calls-on-fg-to-prosecute-those-involved-in-11b-pid-fraud-conspiracy/ |

Travel / Govt Should Help Our Citizens Japa- Abdulrazaq Hamzat by bilms(m): 10:38pm On Nov 03, 2023 |
Govt should delibrately help our citizens japa Ministry of foreign affairs should have a unit that specializes in helping people japa, sort out job issues and offer them international services in case they need them. This would help the country continue to play significant role in the life of our citizens outside the country, instead of watching the citizens desperately engage in self govt, which leads to doing too many bad things that ends up damaging the country abroad. The lack of significant role by govt in the life of our citizens made it possible for Nigerians to be involved in slave labor abroad, it also makes exploiting them easier, either by their own country people or by people in their host country. This is why the remittances coming to Nigeria is also very small compared to the cost. The era of trying to hold people down is over. If you do not provide them this services, they will seek it else where and most times, at the detriment of the nation. Govt should do what must be done for the citizens and ensure the country get the right returns, including taxing our citizens abroad, for getting maximum returns for value provided.

Foreign Affairs / There's No Difference Between Israel And Hamas- Peacepro by bilms(m): 2:42pm On Oct 21, 2023 |
There's no difference between Israel and Hamas- PeacePro _Says we need to humanize all people to avert further crisis_ A peacebuilding think tank, Foundation for Peace Professionals also known as PeacePro has described Isreal and Hamas as two sides of the same coin, arguing that there's no difference between both entities. PeacePro, which recently launched the Africa Peace Insight report said that, while it is saddened by the magnitude of terror unleashed by Hamas in Isreal against civilians, the development in Gaza is not less appalling and Isreal's state terror against the Palestinian population for over 70 years is not less condemnable. In a statement by the Executive Director of PeacePro, Mr Abdulrazaq Hamzat, the peacebuilding group said that, Isreal's apartied occupation against Palestine and the open imprisonment of over 2 million people in Gaza is the worst kind of dehumanization. According to Hamzat, no reasonable person would support Hamas's attack against innocent Isreal civilians, but possibility of such attack could have been avoided if Isreal had committed itself to humanizing Palestinians over the years. Hamzat said, "We cannot dehumanize a people for so long and still expect them to act humane. So, we must humanize all people to avert crisis of such magnitude in the future", he says. Hamzat, who is also a former Nigerian Ambassador to the International Human Rights Commission (IHRC) also noted that, the world is currently talking about Palestine from the perspectives of finding solution to the crisis, not as mere rhetorics in global conversation. Hamzat explained that, "before the unfortunate escalation between Hamas and Isreal, the Palestinian question has became a mere rhetorics in global conversation and it took this abhorable action from Hamas for the world to remember that Palestinians are still a people needing to be humanized and whose freedom is still the responsibility of global community" He therefore called on Isreal to change approach, saying their military superiority over the years has not made Isreal more peaceful and may likely not do so in the future, but their humanization of the Palestinians may achieve better results.

If our authorities here block access in similar manner, how will our people interpret it? We maybe educated, but many are not enlightened and this is killing us 12 Likes 1 Share |
