| Politics › NDPHC Begins Construction Of 15MW Injection Substation by mirinder(op): 11:21am On Sep 09, 2021 |
Engr. IfeOluwa Oyedele, the Executive Director, Networks, Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC), has disclosed that the 1×7.5MVA, 33/11KV injection substation with associated of 33KV/11KV & LT lines and installation of four 500KVA distribution substation transformer sited in Ido-Ekiti, Ekiti state upon completion will add 15MW to the electricity needs of the state. Oyedele, who spoke at Ido-Ekiti during the groundbreaking ceremony of the construction of the substation, also stated that NDPHC had completed five injection substations in Ekiti state since its inception. He said the project upon completion would improve the socio-economic wellbeing of the people of the benefiting communities. “It is for the entire local government because the power requirement of the Ekiti state is in the region of about 250MW. When you add 10 to 15MW to that kind of load, you will see it is substantial. “And when you reinforce this, it will relieve other substations of the load that they are presently carrying. It is something that the entire community and its environs will benefit from. “Following the intervention of His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Ekiti state, we at NDPHC, in keeping with our mandate to improve electricity infrastructure in Nigeria, a tripartite ad-hoc committee comprising of NDPHC, BEDC and Ekiti state representative was set-up to assess the way to improve Electricity supply in Ekiti state. “It may please your Excellency that this project we are flagging off today is part of the 10Nos. proposed NDPHC intervention project in Ekiti state. In scoping this project, we engaged with BEDC and we have been assured that the intervention of NDPHC in the improvement of electricity infrastructure in this community will align with their proposed infrastructure upgrade in the Community and the entire state. “We have about five already completed distribution projects in the Ekiti state from the inception of NDPHC”‘ he said. Oyedele also disclosed that the company has constructed and commissioned over 350 injection substations with a combined capacity of about 3540MW across the country. In addition, his stated that the company since its inception in 2004 till date has also constructed a total of 18 substations. “NDPHC since its inception has completed 2,194km and 887km of 330kV and 132kV Transmission Lines respectively. This is in addition to completed ten (10) new 330/132kV Substations and eight (  new 132/33kV Substations which are connected to the National Grid thus significantly added 5590MVA and 3493MVA capacities at 330kV and 132kV levels respectively.“NDPHC has constructed and commissioned over 350 Injection Substations with a combined capacity of about 3540MW across the length and breadth of this country. “NDPHC has further constructed about 2600km of 11KV and 4600km of 33kV distribution lines for improving access to electricity and quality of power supply to consumers. “In the last 14 years, we have been able to build generation stations to the capacity of 5000MW. I know that you know that up to date moment, the whole of Nigeria did not take up to 5000MW. So, if you add 5000MW, it means we have doubled the generation capacity of Nigeria. “Right now, we have over 10 projects that are at the 99 percent completed. The contribution of the NDPHC, like I said, in one of the interviews, if you remove all the lines constructed by NDPHC, Nigeria will probably be in darkness”, Oyedele said. Performing the groundbreaking ceremony of the project, the Ekiti state Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, who noted that the power supply to the state was grossly inadequate, stated that the substation when completed will bridge the supply gap in the state. Fayemi, who appreciated President Muhammadu Buhari and management of the NDPHC for the project, called for its early completion. The Olujodo of Ido-Ekiti, Oba Ayorinde Ilori Faboro, in an interview with journalists, expressed his appreciation to the government and NDPHC, disclosing that with the project, businesses that had relocated from the community would come back. “First of all, I am grateful to the government of the federation, for siting the substation here. Electricity is very important to us. We have suffered a lot. Right now, I am using a generator and I have spent a lot of money on diesel. The money that I should be using for my upkeep, I am spending it on generators. “So, with this substation here and with the promise that it will improve electricity supply to my town, I am very happy. I am also grateful to the governor of Ekiti state, the Niger Delta Power Holding Company and all those who made it happened. “I know that with good electricity, the businesses that have relocated from this town because of poor electricity will come back. It is a good thing that has come to my town. “We are 13 communities in Ido-Osi Local Government and all the communities will benefit from this project. Now, we are getting our light from Omu’Aran (Kwara state). When the light is coming, it will first step down at Otun, when Otun is happy, they will give light to Aiyetoro along the road; when Aiyetoro is happy, they will pass the light to Usi, when Usi is happy, they will give us light. So, sometimes in a week, we don’t have light. In a month, we hardly get up to 50 hours of electricity, which is very poor. But with this substation, we will not be waiting for these people to ration us light. Rather, we will now have power here and still give to other communities”, the monarch said. https://independent.ng/ndphc-begins-construction-of-15mw-injection-substation/ |

The Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, said on Wednesday the state has become the first oil-producing state in Northern Nigeria.

We equally brought a request to the effects that the Ajaokuta steel company is still moribund. “We submitted a request that the President should in the life of his administration, ensure the completion of the Ajaokuta complex. “And Mr. President received all of these and more with pleasure and he promised that something is will be done to ensure that Ajaokuta is revived before the end of this administration.” https://www.ripplesnigeria.com/kogi-is-now-an-oil-producing-state-gov-bello/ |

| Politics › Obasanjo Speaks On Secrets Of His Longevity by mirinder(op): 3:09pm On Sep 05, 2021 |
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says his addiction to the game of Squash is one of the secrets behind his longevity. He spoke on Saturday during the finals of the 3rd Olusegun Obasanjo National Squash Championship in Abeokuta, Ogun State. The championship attracted participants from different states of Nigeria. It was organized by Ogun State Squash Association in collaboration with Nigeria Squash Federation. Obasanjo in his remarks, described squash, believed to be game of the army, as interesting and exciting. The 84-year-old player said the grace of God and the game of squash are secrets of his longevity. “Those of you who probably feel that the game of squash is something that is fearful, you can now see the beauty, excitement and the interest. It is a very beautiful game.” “I am addicted to it. And when people ask me, at my young age… I am a young man, officially 84 going to 85 years. I’m still playing squash. So, when people ask me, what is the secret? It’s the grace of God and squash is part of the secret. “Again, it is a game that does not require too much time. If you are a very busy person, when you play a game of squash for one hour, you must be sweating. There are other games, when you play them for three hours, you don’t even know that you are playing a game. But here, you are in the court for 45, 50 or 60 minutes, you have got a good exercise for the day.” Obasanjo expressed his gladness over young talents in the participation and charged them to strive more for excellence. He also applauded the participants, sponsor and the officials for making the tournament “interesting and successful.” Meanwhile, Mistura Durosinoluwa from Kwara State, has emerged the winner of under 16 category of the tourney. Mistura defeated Delight Allison from Akwa Ibom State by three straight set in the final of the Championship played at the Olusegun Obasanjo Squash court in Abeokuta. Durosinoluwa, who won under 16 girls category and Dominion Ntupe from Lagos, the winner in the boys category attributed the victory to hard work. Number two seeded player in the championship from Delta state, Busayo Olatunji, defeated number one player, Rofiat Abdulazeez from Kwara state 11-8, 8-11, 11-3 and 11-7 to emerge winner in the senior women category. https://dailytrust.com/obasanjo-speaks-on-secrets-of-his-longevity |
| Politics › Philippine Airlines Files For Bankruptcy by mirinder(op): 11:41am On Sep 04, 2021 |
Philippine Airlines said Saturday it was filing for bankruptcy in the United States to slash $2 billion in debt as it tries to survive an industry gutted by the coronavirus pandemic. The national carrier of the Philippines said the filing will allow it to restructure contracts and cut debt by at least $2 billion while getting $655 million in fresh capital when it emerges from the Chapter 11 process. PAL will also downsize its fleet by 25 per cent and re-negotiate contracts to reduce lease payments. “Philippine Airlines will continue business-as-usual operations while finalising the restructuring of our network, fleet and organisation,” senior vice president and chief financial officer Nilo Thaddeus Rodriguez said in a video message. As part of agreements reached with suppliers, lenders and lessors, Rodriguez said PAL will secure $505 million to execute the recovery plan. The money will later convert into airline equity and long-term debt. It will also obtain another $150 million in debt funding after it emerges from the restructuring process “in a few months”, Rodriguez said. Philippine air travel volume collapsed by 75 per cent from about 30 million passengers in 2019 to seven million last year due to pandemic restrictions, PAL president Gilbert Santa Maria said in the same video. The carrier cancelled more than 80,000 flights, wiping out $2 billion in revenue, and let go of 2,300 employees. Its main shareholder injected more than $130 million in emergency liquidity and a non-strategic asset was sold for more than $70 million. Santa Maria said PAL now operates 21 per cent of pre-pandemic flights to 70 per cent of its usual destinations. AFP https://punchng.com/philippine-airlines-files-for-bankruptcy/ |

| Foreign Affairs › Taliban: Al- Qaeda, ISIS Expanding In Africa, UN Warns by mirinder(op): 8:40am On Aug 20, 2021 |
Two decades after the September 11 terrorist attacks in New York, U.S, terror networks – Al-Qaida and Islamic State – continue to pose a grave threat to peace and security globally, especially in Africa, a top UN counter-terrorism expert has said. UN counter-terrorism chief Vladimir Voronkov told the Security Council on Thursday at UN headquarters, New York, that terrorist groups had been adapting to new technologies and moving into some of the world’s most fragile regions. While Al-Qaida and Islamic State remain focused on reconstituting their capabilities in Iraq and Syria, Mr Vornkov said the groups’ relentless spread across the African continent in recent months was the most alarming development. The so-called “Islamic State in the Greater Sahara” has killed several hundred civilians since the start of 2021 in Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger. The group’s “West Africa Province” will likely gain from the weakening of Boko Haram, with an additional spillover of terrorists and foreign fighters from Libya. Meanwhile, the expansion of Da’esh in Central Africa and especially in northern Mozambique could have far-reaching implications for peace and security in the region. He briefed the council on the eve of the fourth commemoration of the International Day of Remembrance of and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism, observed annually on August 21. Mr Voronkov, while presenting the secretary-general’s latest report on the threats posed by terrorist groups, said Al-Qaida and Islamic State, also known as Da’esh, had continued to exploit the pandemic to use technology to regroup. He noted that Da’esh continued to exploit the disruption, grievances, and development setbacks caused by the pandemic to regroup, recruit new followers and intensify its activities both online and on the ground. “Today, we face transnational terrorist threats like Da’esh and Al-Qaida that are enduring and able to adapt to new technologies,” Mr Voronkov explained. “But also expanding to include individuals and groups that commit terrorist attacks connected to xenophobia, racism and other forms of intolerance.” The UN counter-terrorism architecture, largely set up in there wake of the 9/11 attack, helps member states implement effective frameworks to prevent, address, investigate and prosecute acts of terrorism. It is also ramping up efforts to help countries adapt to the rapidly changing nature of the threat, which has become more digital and de-centralised in recent years. “We will need to ensure that Afghanistan is never again used as a launching pad for global terrorism,” the UN official said. https://gazettengr.com/taliban-al-qaeda-isis-expanding-in-africa-un-warns/ |

| Politics › With OBJ, Osibanjo’s Years As President, VP, SW Lacks Right For Presidency by mirinder(op): 6:30pm On Aug 03, 2021 |
Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has said that after President Muhammadu Buhari’s presidency in 2023, the South West Nigeria lacks the moral standard to aspire for Buhari’s successor after spending 8 years as President through Chief Olusegun Obasanjo (1999-2003) and as Vice President, Professor Yemi Osibanjo, (2015-2023). Ohanaeze insisted that the Igbo are favored by all standards to occupy the Nigerian President in 2023 and urged other Nigerians to support the Igbo. The group in a statement signed by its Secretary General, Ohanaeze Ndigbo World, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, condemned what he described as attempts by detractors of Ndigbo to blackmail her with the activities of Biafran agitators over Igbo presidency. “The South West has no strong claim for presidency in 2023. Chief Olusegun Obasanjo led Nigeria as President from 1999 to 2007 while Professor Yemi Osibanjo will conclude 8 years as Vice President from 2015 to 2023. So, 2023 will be the turn of the Igbo to occupy the exalted office of the president. “Ohanaeze condemns attempts to blackmail the Igbo with activities of Biafra agitators resurrect the rhetorical questions about the activities of other ethnic militia’s activities in the past. Did the activities of OPC stop Chief Olusegun Obasanjo’s emergence in 1999? Did the activities of the Niger Delta militants stop Dr Goodluck Jonathan from emerging the President in 2011? Did Boko Haram insurgents and bandits stop General Muhammadu Buhari in 2015? “Since the activities of these groups did not stop the people from the aforementioned areas from emerging Presidents of Nigeria at different times, the rise of self-determination agitators from the South East will not stop the zone from producing the president in 2023. Igbo Presidency in 2023 will rather assuage the burning flames of Biafra agitation and put Nigeria back on track for greater heights.” Stressing that the coast is getting clearer for Igbo presidency in 2023, Ohanaeze Ndigbo tasked Igbo presidential aspirants to reach out to all political parties and geopolitical zones and build bridges of friendship and support. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2021/08/with-obasanjo-osibanjos-years-as-president-vp-south-west-lacks-moral-right-for-presidency-in-2023-―-ohanaeze/ |
