The Nigerian ports Authority (NPA) is profusely bleeding from the laceration and bruises it sustained from the vicious but serial looting of its treasury by its joint ventures partners. Ironically, the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) initiative which was evolved by the Federal government to fund some of its statutory infrastructural obligations to the masses through Joint Venture arrangement with private business interests has gone awry in the NPA. In 2005 and in line with this PPP arrangement, the NPA formed two joint venture companies with some business interests to carry out both capital and maintenance dredging of the port channels in Lagos and Eastern ports axis which include the Bonny Channel Company Limited established and incorporated in August, 2005 with 60 per cent equity shareholding by the Nigerian Ports Authority and 40 per cent equity shareholding by the consortium, (TCMC) The Channel Management Company Limited.

Education / Dirty Secrets In The JAMB Cut-off War, By Azu Ishiekwene by Bravo123: 1:50am On Sep 01, 2017 |
Anyone reading the papers last week will be forgiven to think that the worst demons from hell have descended on the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB). I have never liked JAMB, not because I ever attempted to take its exam or failed it. I guess I’m like most Direct Entry students who think JAMB is one of the useless bureaucracies that have robbed universities of their brains. But the universities have always loved it because its obtrusiveness guarantees a balance of shady aspirations. Either through JAMB or through vice chancellors, the worst candidates can get admission, whether they pass or fail entrance examinations. Some public universities have even created a slew of back door short-term programmes to short-circuit minimum entry qualification or any entrance examination. And the private universities are always waiting in the wings to harvest from the misery of those who fail to get a place in the few notable public universities. It’s cash-and-carry...

Today we bring to you the concluding part of the essay on the 16 foods that we eat every day that probably causes cancer. It’s probably not something you think about every day, whether or not the foods you are eating could contain carcinogens, but with almost 1.5 million people diagnosed with some type of cancer just last year, perhaps it’s time to look at what is in our foods that could be causing such a huge number of new cancer patients. Here is a list of the top 16 foods that you most likely consume every day that may contain carcinogens or be suspected of causing cancer. 9. Processed white Flour Most of you have already heard by now that white flour is not a good thing, but you most likely have no idea just how bad it really is for your health.

White processed flour has a very high glycemic rate which quickly raises the blood sugar level and insulin levels, which can be a direct cause of diabetes, not to mention it is believed that it spreads cancer cells by feeding the cells directly.
