Politics › EXCLUSIVE: Jonathan Awards$40million Contract To Israeli Company To Monitor Comp by Elslim(op): 5:33pm On Aug 26, 2017
Here is a very important information fromPREMIUM TIMESfor the 47 million Nigerian Internet users. Big Brother, in the form of the Jonathan administration, is watching you, and your communication is no longer safe.It is one of the most far-reaching policies ever designed in Nigeria’s history to invade the privacy of citizens.TheJonathan administrationsecretly, and in open violation of lawful contracting procedures, has awarded an Israeli firm,Elbit Systems, with headquarters in Haifa, a $40million contract to help it spy oncitizens’ computers and Internet communications under the guise of intelligence gathering and national security.Elbit announced the contract award Wednesday in aglobal press releasebut was silent on the Nigerian destination of the contract. Its general manager, Yehuda Vered, opaquely announced that “Elbit Systems will supply its Wise Intelligence Technology (WiT) system to an unnamed country in Africa under a new $40 million contract announced on 24 April… for Intelligence Analysis and Cyber Defense,” but effusively claimed, in the statement, that his company is “proud to be selected to supply this unique system, which is already field-proven, fully operational and customisable.“Elbit Systems is a world leader in thefields of intelligence analysis and cyber defense, with proven solutions highly suitable for countries, armies and critical infrastructure sites. We hope that additional customers will follow in selecting our highly advanced and cutting edge systems in these fields as their preferred solution,” Mr. Vered added.Multiple and very reliable sources in the administration confirmed toPREMIUM TIMESthat Nigeria is indeed the “unnamed African country,” and with details from the Elbit statement, our sources say the contract will now help the Jonathan administration access all computers and read all email correspondences of citizens in what is clearly, an infringement on constitutionally guaranteed freedom of expression.No single policy of this administration has so far affected, in one fell swoop, the lives of 47 million citizens, a third of the Nigerian population and about four times the number of voters who brought the president to power two years ago.Nigerian netizens, the horde of activecitizens that use the computer and Internet, are the 10thin a global ranking that make them 27 per cent of Africa’s total Internet users, far ahead of Egypt [19thglobal ranking] and South Africa [37thin global ranking].The growth path of the Internet in Nigeria has also been dramatic, rising from a mere 200,000 Internet users in 2002 to 47 million this year, according to data from the Global Internet user, one of the Internet audit groups.This development has not always gladdened public officials in Nigeria many who have expressed open displeasure at the use of the Internet by social media activists and the power of its possibilities as an empowering medium for popular communication. The calls for regulation have been loud in both the administration and in the Nigerian legislature.The earliest hint that the Jonathan administration had desires to invade privacy of citizens surfaced ealy Aprilwhen researchers at the Munk School for Global Affairs at the University of Toronto alerted the world that Nigeria, Egypt, and Kenya were deploying Internet surveillance and censorship technology developed by an American company,Blue Coat, which specializes in onlinesecurity. Blue Coat’s technology will allow the government to invade the privacy of journalists, netizens and their sources. Its censorship devices use Deep Packet Inspection, DPI, a technology employed by many western Internet Service Providers, tomanage network traffic and suppressunwanted connections.Civic groups kick against DPI because, they say, it makes it possible for censors to look into every single Internet Protocol packet and subject it to special treatment based on content (censored or banned words) or type (email, VoIP or BitTorrent Protocol).DPI not only threatens the principle ofNet Neutrality and the privacy of users, civic groups say, it makes single users identifiable and, in countries that flout the rule of law and violate human rights, often exposes them to arbitrary imprisonment, violence or even torture.While details of the Blue Coat contract appears to have managed toevade scrutiny up till this point, PREMIUM TIMES sources say the Elbit annunciation of the contract, opaque as it was, terribly rattled top administration officials – from the presidency to the National Security Adviser’s Office, and the National Assembly.“The presidency had wanted this contract to be a top secret,” said one of our sources. “The presidency did not envisage that Elbit was going to make it public. Monitoring computersand Internet use is a contentious issue and the National Security Adviser had tried to keep the contractsecret.”Elbit says it will take it two years to complete the project, by which time itclaimed, the administration will have “a highly advanced end-to-end solution, [to] supports every stage of the intelligence process, including thecollection of the data from multiple sources, databases and sensors, processing of the information, supporting intelligence personnel in the analysis and evaluation of the information and disseminating the intelligence to the intended recipient…[that] will be integrated with various data sources, including Elbit Systems’ Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) solution and Elbit Systems’ PC Surveillance Systems (PSS), an advance solution for covert intelligence gathering.”The administration had indicated in the 2013 budget that it would procure a Wise Intelligence Network Harvest Analyzer System, Open Source Internet Monitoring System and Personal Internet Surveillance System at a cost of N9.496 Billion ($61.26 million).Now that the contract has been awarded to Elbit for about $40million, it is unclear if the National Assembly will raise questions as to what becomes of the extra $21million earmarked for the project.Investigations indicate that in awarding the contract to the Israeli firm, no tenders or calls for bids weremade just as there were no public announcements. The contract was awarded following a proposal from a single vendor who dictated the contract sum and the terms of the contract.The procedure for public procurement of services as stipulated by theBureau of Public Procurement(BPP), the Nigerian agency charged with the duty of ensuring transparency in all matters concerning government contracts, were largely ignored. In addition, there are no public records indicatingthat the BPP approved this contract.The manner of award directly contravenes the 2007 Public Procurement Act. While the Act givesroom for single source contracts, the Elbit contract met none of the requirements under which such special contracts could be awarded.Section 47 (3) (iii) of the 2007 Act stipulates that single source contracts are to be awarded in emergency situations such as “natural disasters or a financial crisis”.Presidential spokespersons, Reuben Abati, and Doyin Okupe were not available for comments Wednesday. They didn’t answer or return calls seeking comments.Calls to Elbit’s headquarters in Haifa, Israel, were also unanswered.Shari Clarkson, a spokesperson at the company’s subsidiary in the United States declined comments on the contract saying only Dalia Rosen, a spokesperson based in Israel, could comment. Rosen’s phone was unanswered.
