The European Aviation Safety Agency says
electronic devices such as mobile phones can
be left switched on during flights.
EASA says that electronic devices do not pose a
safety risk.
The announcement clears the way for airlines to
permit the use of mobile phones, once they
have conducted their own safety reviews.
Currently airline passengers have to switch
devices to flight mode and make calls from the
airport terminal.
The EASA sets the framework for airlines
making safety decisions.
The agency said each airline would still have to
go through an assessment process, ensuring
aircraft systems are not affected by the signals
from portable electronic devices before
establishing their own rules for their operation.
As a result there could be a delay in
implementing the new rules at some airlines.
It also says that airlines may opt for different
policies on the use of mobile devices.

The Senate on Thursday approved President
Goodluck Jonathan’s request of $1bn external
loan to fight the ongoing insurgency in the
country.
The decision was taken following the
submission of the report of the Senate Joint
Committee on Finance and that of Local and
Foreign Debt by the Chairman, Senator Ahmed
Makarfi.
Makarfi said the loan request was not in cash
but supply of military hardware to be paid for,
over seven years.
He said the interest terms rate could not be
indicated because it was the suppliers of the
military hardware that would negotiate such
agreement.
He said, “Also, the request is for a ceiling of
$1bn and not that, at the moment, the whole
amount would be utilised.
“Government will procure on the terms stated,
based on needs assessment of our security
agencies.”
There was however, a mild drama on the floor
of the red chamber when Senate President,
David Mark; his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu; and
Makarfi urged their colleagues not to subject
the report to a debate because of its security
implications.
But the Senate Minority Leader, Senator George
Akume; Senator Olubunmi Adetunmbi; and
Babafemi Ojudu laboured in vain to frustrate the
approval of the loan.
Adetunmbi quoted relevant sections of the
Nigerian constitution to argue that the loan
request contradicted the Appropriation Act, and
Fiscal Responsibility Act.
He further argued that Jonathan should have
requested for the loan through a supplementary
appropriation bill.
However, Makarfi clarified that Adetunmbi’s
arguments were not relevant to the matter
because the loan was not in cash.
He said the National Assembly would be
contacted by the executive for necessary
appropriation whenever it was time to repay
the loan in cash.
Mark therefore called for a voice vote to
determine the approval or rejection of the loan.
Members of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party
in the upper chamber voted in support while
their counterpart in the All Progressives
Congress voted against it.

The Acting Inspector-General of Police, Mr
Suleiman Abba, has said that politicians with
criminal records will be stopped from contesting
the 2015 general elections.
Abba, in his maiden meeting with Commissioners
of Police in the 36 states and other senior
officers in Abuja on Wednesday, said the force
would collaborate with other security agencies
to achieve the goal.
“During screening of candidates, we will
collaborate with our colleagues, particularly the
Department of State Services to ensure that
candidates with criminal records are not allowed
to contest the election,” he said.
Fielding questions from newsmen before the
meeting went into a closed door session, Abba
said the force was poised to provide adequate
security for the elections.
“We have made adequate arrangements to make
sure that the police provide sufficient security
for all the activities leading to the election and
election.
“These activities have started and they include
the registration of voters, primaries,
conventions and the campaigns by all the
political parties and candidates.
“In all these activities, the police will ensure that
adequate security is provided for those involved,
including the INEC and party officials,” he said.
On the role of the police in the ongoing counter-
terrorism, he said the force had not been
relegated to the background but playing its role.
“The police who are in-charge of internal
security cannot be relegated to the background
though the military is present in all the states of
the federation.
“They are performing their responsibility in
support of the civil authority, the police.
“The states where they are more visible are the
areas where their support is most needed,”, he
said, and added that the police were more visible
in internal security.
Abba said that one of 20 personnel said to be
still missing in the attack on Police College in
Gwoza, resurfaced on Monday and gave an
assurance that others would soon be located.

President Goodluck Jonathan has been advised
to start preparing his handover notes now, as
“the All Progressives Congress, APC, is putting
finishing touch to take over Aso Rock in 2015″.
Governor Rochas Okorocha read the riot act in
Owerri, when he played host to APC local
government chairmen from the 36 states of the
federation, gathered in the city to celebrate his
52nd birthday.
“Come 2015, APC will be in Aso Rock but we
must be aggressive to drag PDP and its
members out of the Presidency and indeed,
Nigeria”, Governor Okorocha said.
While reasuring APC loyalists that the party will
win the presidential election, come 2015,
Okorocha equally said that PDP time was over in
the history of Nigerian politics.
“I have the capacity to govern the Federal
Republic of Nigeria. I must also make it
abundantly clear that the PDP and indeed,
President Goodluck Jonathan, cannot defeat me
in the forthcoming general election”, Okorocha
boasted.
He however pointed out that he will not run
unless the masses ask him to run, stressing that
his mission in Nigeria has not been actualized.
“My mission in Nigeria is yet to be fully
actualized. This is largely as a result of the
activities of the elites, who have denied me
several opportunities to serve my people”,
Okorocha said.
Continuing, the Governor promised that if given
the opportunity to rule Nigeria, he would fight
Boko Haram insurgents to a halt through the
decentralization of power to the grassroot.
He noted that what inspired him to join politics
was to render humanitarian service to the less
privileged ones in the society, pointing out that
this made him to introduce free education
programme from primary to the tertiary level in
the state.
Okorocha urged APC members to participate in
the revalidation of voters cards, adding that thie
would them cast their vote during the 2015
general election.
“You all must understand that Nigeria can be
better if the masses elect a credible leader to
rule the country”, Okorocha said.

ABUJA—Nigeria and Cameroon were, yesterday,
locked in an argument over who killed Boko
Haram leader Abubakar Shekau and where he was
killed.
In a rare public show by the Cameroonian army
(Armee Camerounaise), photos of Shekau were
made public alongside a statement claiming he
was killed during a cross-border raid deep inside
Nigeria by its military.
A Cameroon military source, according to
Cameroon Concord, said on Sunday night that
Shekau was killed following an aerial
bombardment of his hideout inside Nigeria.

Minna— The Registrar/Chief Executive of Joint
Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB,
Professor Dibu Ojerinde, has said there is no
going back on the use of Computer Based Test,
CBT, by JAMB’s candidates with effect from next
year.
The registrar, who was answering questions
from journalists in Minna, Niger State, yesterday,
said the board had been sensitising all
stakeholders since 2007 on going digital, saying
students concerned and government were
already aware of the move and thus, the
pronouncement could not be new to them.
He said even with the epileptic power supply in
the country, the new policy could not be faulted
because power supply could not hinder the
implementation of the policy.
He said: “Power is not a problem. If you want to
take part in this process, you must have all the
facilities including adequate power supply. You
must have an inverter.”
Ojerinde, who was in Minna for the second
technical committee meeting on 2014/2015
admission to degree, Nigeria Certificate in
Education, NCE, and National Diploma, ND, and
awarding institutions said 617,000 candidates
sat for CBT while many others opted for the
paper and pencil test, adding that with effect
from next year, the examination would go full
blown CBT.
He called on the state government to build and
operate computer centres in at least the three
senatorial districts of the state for use by
candidates.
Governor Muazu Babangida Aliyu of Niger State,
who was represented by Commissioner of
Education, Alhaji Danladi Abdulhameed,
commended the registrar for his consistency in
initiating efforts aimed at curbing examination
malpractices, improving processes of
examination administration and overall
development of the educational sector.

Lagos—Six days after a five-storey building used
as guest house by the Synagogue Church of All
Nations, SCOAN collapsed, killing scores of
persons and injuring several others, the church
was yet to produce names of lodgers in the
building.
Although the South African government had
Tuesday claimed that 67 of its citizens perished
in the collapsed building but rescue operators
are faced with the challenge of identifying the
nationalities of the dead and survivors, owing to
what they alleged as reluctance from SCOAN to
produce the names.
Besides, indication emerged that some
countries, among which is Australia, have been
calling in to ascertain the plight of their citizens
feared might be victims.
Death toll now 80
This is as the death toll rose to 80 yesterday
with the recovery of additional 17 victims
comprising 12 women and five men, with the
number of survivors still 131.
Fielding questions from newsmen on the
contradiction in the number of death between
rescue operators and President Jacob Zuma of
South Africa, the South West spokesperson for
the National Emergency Management Agency,
NEMA Ibrahim Farinloye, maintained that as at
Tuesday, when Zuma came up with his figure,
the death toll was 63.
Farinloye said, “I don’t know where President
Zuma got his information from. He is not on
ground here but we are. So, we presume he is
operating based on information made available
to him. We are working on what we got based
on operation. As I speak, we have record of 80
persons dead and 131 rescued alive. The figure
rose to 80 because we recovered two bodies by
11pm on Tuesday and another two at about 3am
today (Wednesday) and the rest between 10am
and 4pm. We will continue working until we get
to the last level of excavation because it is
possible that more bodies are still trapped
underneath the rubble.
On list of victims
However, a member of the church, who spoke
on condition on anonymity to Vanguard, assured
that SCOAN was likely to come out with the list
today.
The worker said: ”We were overwhelmed by the
incident. And we were fully involved in the
rescue. I assure you that we will come out with
the list by tomorrow (today) because there is no
way you can hide the corpses, as some of them
need to be flown to their respective countries”.
We won’t confiscate site just yet—LAGOS
Meanwhile, the Lagos State Government has
stated that it had no plan to confiscate the site
of the collapsed building until investigation into
its cause was concluded.
In a statement yesterday by the Commissioner
for Physical Planning and Urban Development,
Olutoyin Ayinde, it said;
“Government does not arbitrarily take over
properties when investigation is still on-going.
The state government is conducting a
preliminary investigation into the cause(s) of the
collapse and would leave no stone unturned. If
there is any violation of relevant planning law,
residents are assured that government would
take appropriate action.”
He said that ‘there are no plans to take over the
collapsed structure site until thorough and
detailed investigation as to the cause(s) of the
collapse has been concluded.
“A team of engineers from the ministry and
other government agencies are taking samples
from the foundation and materials from the
wreckage of the building for detailed analysis and
testing to ascertain the structural integrity of
the building”.
On the “Strange Plane Theory”, alleged to have
dangerously flown low over the building minutes
before its collapse, Ayinde disclosed that the
ministry had submitted the video clips, as
provided by the church to the Nigerian Civil
Aviation Authority (NCAA) with the co-ordinate of
the collapsed site for investigation and
professional comment.

The chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshall Ademola
Amosu has said that the Airforce authority has
credible information as to where the Alpha Jet
which crashed while on a mission in north
eastern part of may be.
An airforce jet with two pilots on board while on
a mission from Yola to maiduguri disappeared
from radar since Friday and a search and rescue
operation has been dispatched to locate and
rescue the pilots.
Speaking with state House correspondents after
meeting with Vice President Namadi Sambo, the
Air Force chief said the inclement weather in the
area has hampered search operations but added
that citizens around the area of operation have
provided useful information on its possible
location.
According to him, “One of our Alpha Jets went
on routine operation in the North East and they
lost contact with the control towers and that
made us to immediately initiate search. The
weather has not been helpful as we have
deployed all our surveillance capability, the
citizens have been very, very helpful and we
have gotten good information from them. But
you know, in the aviation sector, we have some
specific information that we ought to have to
make the search easy…
More details soon
