The World Wide Web is celebrating its
30 years of existence and enabling
people to connect better on the
internet .
The founder and web inventor , Mr Tim
Berners - Lee, on Tuesday , took to the
web ’s foundation to celebrate the
anniversary. Berners - Lee, a Computer Engineer from Switzerland, in 1989 proposed a way for computers to easily share information and since then people have been sending more emails than mails. “ Today, 30 years on from my original proposal for an information management system , half the world is online. “ It’s a moment to celebrate how far we ’ve come but also an opportunity to reflect on how far we have yet to go . “ The web has become a public square, library, doctor ’ s office, shop, school , design studio , an office , cinema , bank and so much more. “ With every new feature , new website , the divide between those who are online and those who are not increases and making it more imperative to make the web available for everyone ,” he said. Berners - Lee, however , said that the web had also created the opportunity for scammers, facilitated the spread of hatred and aided all kinds of crime . He said that the level of crime perpetuated via the web could increase over the years, adding that there are sources of dysfunction affecting today’s web . “ Deliberate, malicious intent , system design that creates perverse incentives and unintended negative consequences had contributed in creating a dysfunction on the web . “ As the web reshaped our world , we have the responsibility to make sure it is recognised as a human right and built for the public good ,” he said. He assured that the web foundation was working with governments, companies and citizens to make the web safer . According to him , the fight for the web is one of the most important causes of the present generation . https://punchng.com/world-wide-web-celebrates-30th-anniversary/ |
GOVERNORSHIP candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Akwa Ibom state, Obong Nsima Ekere has vowed to reclaim the mandate the gave him during the Saturday March 09 gubernatorial poll which was stolen by the People’s Democratic Party, PDP. Ekere who spoke to newsmen on Monday evening in his Uyo residence, insisted that Akwa Ibom people voted for the APC in spite of plots by the PDP to woo them with money. He added that why they are rejecting the results announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC under the leadership of Mr Mike Igini was because they results did not correspond with the results declared at the polling units. He stressed, “Akwa Ibom people shunned those monies, came out in their hundreds of thousands to vote for me and other APC candidates In the governorship and House of Assembly election held on 09 March. “And we were speaking to all our agents in the 2,980 polling units in Akwa Ibom state and the results we got as election was going on and at the end of counting in each of the polling units across the state showed clearly that Akwa Ibom people had embraced change; they showed clearly that they wanted APC. “And the results showed that APC won in the 26 Local government areas of the state. We have the results of the polling units already to confirm this” Ekere who maintaned that his party do not understand how Mr. Igini the Resident Electoral Commissioner and the staff of INEC managed to come out with the results that were now coming out from the collation centers because they were different from the results from polling units He added that they also noticed with dismay and total disappointment that against the provisions of the electoral act and guidelines released by INEC, that there were no collations at the ward centre in the state And I will like Mr. Mile Igini to explain to Akwa Ibom people and to the whole country why he chose to make his own guidelines for the elections different from the guidelines that was released by the INEC.. “The resutls from the collations according to Mike Igini were totally different from the results that were obtained from the polling units across the state. “We did not know how they did their collation, maybe they had a different model for collation different from what is known and acceptable for electioneering all over the world. “But generally I want to thank the people of Akwa Ibom people for the massive support which they had given to the APC and the way they had voted overwhelmingly for APC and for myself in the last election and to assure them that by the grace of God we shall recover the mandate which they freely gave to the APC using the appropriate channels that are available and known to Law” . He added that Igini was supposed to be neutral, ” but his conduct and the things he had done both in the presidential and national assembly election and the gunernatorial and state House of Assembly election has confirmed our fears” The APC gunernatorial candidate said that they had hoped that the INEC chairman and the authority had listened to their plea and had changed Mr. Igini as the Resident Electoral Commissioner for Akwa Ibom state. “And we actually find it so difficult to understand why it was so difficult for them to make that change. From 1999 every election year, Resident Electoral Commissioner’s and staff of INEC who had been resident in a particular state for a long time were always moved around. “That way you are sure that they will not come and allow their alliances and friendship developed in that state over the period they had stayed there to influence their conduct. But surprisingly INEC refused to do this and this is the first time this is happening. ” They allowed Mr. Igini to frustrate the wishes of Akwa Ibom people. And this is most unfortunate. And I can tell you just like my party did during a press conference in the morning, we will not accept this the results”, Ekere declared https://www.vanguardngr.com/2019/03/a-ibom-guber-ekere-vows-to-reclaim-stolen-mandate/ |

The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki,
has said that the state government is in
discussions with the Central Bank of Nigeria
(CBN), to develop a programme that will see
investors taking up 100,000 hectares of
agricultural land in the state for plantation
development. The governor said this when he met with a delegation from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), led by IFC Vice President, Middle East and Africa, Mr. Segio Pimenta, on a courtesy visit to the Government House, Benin City, the Edo State capital. The governor said that the state is keenly interested in increasing agricultural land under cultivation in the state to create wealth, fight deforestation and boost the economy, noting that the concerns of environmentalists are taken into consideration in increasing the hectarage under cultivation in the state. According to him, “Edo State has the largest oil palm estate in the country even that is comparatively small when you relate it to what is happening in Southeast Asia. Total agricultural land under cultivation is under 70,000 hectares which is less than one farm in Indonesia. He continued, “We want to make sure that what we produce can compete globally. As such, we decided to first deal with concerns of the environment by taking a forest audit and now we have been able to earmark close to 250,000 hectares of degraded forest land for agricultural purpose. “We made a commitment last week to CBN to make 100,000 available to be properly screened by investors, as the CBN wants to develop a programme with us as a pilot.” “We want to get a commitment of getting or re- growing one hectare of forest from every four hectares cultivated in the state. This will help us to be competitive in the next few years in terms of our forestry assets,” he added. Pimenta, on his part, said the organisation has heard of all the good works the governor was doing to develop the state and its economy, which are geared towards making life better for the people of the state. He said the organisation is supporting progressive states that are doing well in various areas, with education as one of the major areas of focus, noting “Education is one area the state is getting our fundamental support. We look at human capacity index focusing on how we can help build human capacity in countries and states we operate in. This is responsible for the collaboration with Edo Basic Education Sector Transformation (EDOBEST) programme and BRIDGE.”
