Politics › FG Increases Electricity Tariff for Band A consumers by olatade(op): 1:05pm On Apr 03, 2024
The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has approved the increase of electricity tariff for customers under the Band A classification.

At a press briefing in Abuja on Wednesday, NERC’s Vice Chairman, Musliu Oseni, said the increase will see the customers pay N225 kilowatt per hour from the current N66.

Daily Trust reports that the customers under Band A are those who enjoy 20 hours of electricity supply daily.

Oseni said these customers represents 15 percent pf the 12 million electricity customers in the country.

He added that the commission had also downgraded some customers on the Band A to Band B due to non-fulfilment of the required hours of electricity provided by the electricity distribution company.

“We currently have 800 feeders that are categorised as Band A, but it will now be reduced to under 500. This means that 17 percent now qualify as Band A feeders. These feeders only service 15 percent of total electricity customers connected to the feeders.

“The commission has issued an order which is titled April supplementary order and the commission allows a 235 kilowatt per hour.”


He added that the review will not affect customers on the other Bands.

Citing sources, Bloomberg had on Tuesday reported that power companies will be allowed to raise electricity prices to N200 ($0.15) per kilowatt-hour from N68 for urban consumers.

It quoted people in the presidency with knowledge of the matter saying this was in a bid to attract new investment and slash about $2.3 billion spent to cap tariffs (subsidies).

According to the news agency, “Nigerians will now have to pay $2.42 per one million British thermal units from the previous rate of $2.18 MMBtu.”

The development comes amid Monday’s announcement by the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) of an increase in the price of natural gas, which is used to generate more than 70% of electricity in Nigeria.

Politics › King Charles Diagnosed With Pancreatic Cancer And Has Only 2 Years To Liveas Rep by olatade(op): 3:59pm On Mar 30, 2024
As reported in In Touch and Yahoo, a member of the royal inner circle has stated, “King Charles is much sicker than the palace lets on and simply isn’t up to the job of running his fractious family, the crown’s business interests and fulfilling the daily duties of the monarchy,” adding that, “His cancer is eating him alive. He’s very frail. The situation is desperate.”

On Maundy Thursday, he appeared in a video of a service where the monarch hands out symbolic alms called “Maundy money” to individuals who have performed “outstanding Christian service.” A photo of the king that was circulated showed him to be “more gaunt” than last year.

Indeed, he was not able to attend in person as he is under doctor’s orders to avoid crowds while being treated for cancer. The queen stood in for him. The Maundy Thursday service is said to be one of the most meaningful for Charles and he stated that he was greatly saddened at not being able to be present.

King Charles’ ascended to the throne only 18 months ago, and his reign may end up being one of the shortest in British history.

As is common practice in the Royal House, his funeral has already been planned, not because of his health crisis, but as a matter of course.

Named “Operation Menai Bridge,” the monarch’s funeral processions will look similar to Queen Elizabeth II’s ceremonies, dubbed “Operation London Bridge.” Pancreatic cancer is one of the most deadly, and it is not surprising that final arrangements for Charles should be “of timely prioritization”.

It’s a fairly common thing to do among the British royalty, but in Charles’ case expediency is necessary,” says the source, who notes that “some courtiers believe Charles’ cancer is worse than they’re making it out to be.”

“Operation Menai Bridge” is set to include familiar protocols. When the monarch dies, Charles’ body will be moved from the throne room at Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall. He will lie in state, and his official funeral will take place nine days later. He will likely be buried in the royal vault at Windsor Castle. “

The King is expected to make an appearance on Easter Sunday for a service at Windsor, but there are no others scheduled for the foreseeable future.

The king’s perilous health comes at a particularly critical time, as the bombshell announcement of Princess Kate’s cancer just days ago, creates ripples throughout the Royal House. William’s royal duties have been reduced to the minimum as he cares for his family, and no doubt the emotional upheaval of the crisis is playing an important role in his mental wellbeing.

In Touch reports that the king believes “William is not ready to take the throne.”

“Charles knows the pressures of being the monarch, and he just isn’t sure William is ready to take his place,” an insider revealed, adding that William is “currently facing a public relations disaster,” alluding to the uproar that the secrecy over Kate’s health generated in the media and the public announcement that she was eventually forced to make in order to quell rumors and wild conspiracy theories.

Health crises, accusations of secrecy, media and public relations disasters, all told, the future of the British monarchy seems to be in serious jeopardy.

There is an adage in Yoruba which is literally translated as “if you fail to rebuke your neighbour for eating a bad ant in the afternoon, his restlessness at night will deprive you of your sleep”.

You cannot measure someone’s reaction to an attack.

I responded with a punch to a slap you gave me, and you went to town that I didn’t respond in equal measure. Are you okay?

This explains the Soldiers’ response to the incident at Okuama.

Foreign Affairs › Museveni Appoints Son Head Of Uganda's Military by olatade(op): 2:48pm On Mar 22, 2024
Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni has appointed his son, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, as head of the military, the defence ministry said on Friday.

Kainerugaba, 48, a general in the military, is widely seen as his father’s successor in waiting and once stirred controversy by threatening to invade neighboring Kenya.

The ministry in a statement said that he replaces Wilson Mbasu Mbadi, who was removed and appointed as a junior minister.

In 2022, Museveni removed his son as commander of Uganda’s land forces after he made threats to invade neighboring Kenya in posts on social media platform X.

In the posts, Kainerugaba also expressed support for Russia’s President Vladimir Putin saying: “The majority of mankind (that are non-white) support Russia’s stand in Ukraine.”

Kainerugaba has long been viewed as being prepared to take over the presidency from his father, 79, who has ruled the east African country for nearly 40 years.

Although Ugandan laws bar serving military officers from involvement in politics.

However, Kainerugaba frequently trades barbs with opposition politicians and has also formed a pressure group that has been mobilising political support for him, drawing criticism from his critics and the opposition.

Uganda is due to hold its next presidential election in early 2026 and Museveni is widely expected to seek re-election. (Reuters/NAN)
