Majority of Nigerians, including graduates don't know the significance of President Muhammadu Buhari signing eight bills sent to him by the National Assembly into law on Friday. And among them are those making derogatory comments to insult him and the Nigerian government.

A bill is proposed legislation under consideration by a legislature.
A bill does not become law until it is passed by the legislature and, in most cases, approved by the executive. Once a bill has been enacted into law, it is called an Act or a statute.

21Savagw you should understand what you read before quoting.

My comment was in regards to republicans and conservatives who voted Trump in this election.My mom is a republican but she did not vote republican this year.She's one in a few many republicans who defied party loyalty for the greater good of the country.


If she had voted Trump this year,I'd gladly put her in the same basket of deplorables that are unintelligent hypocritical morally bankrupt subhumans.If I see bigotry anywhere,I would not stand for it,I'd oppose it in every ways I can.

You are ignorant of Donald Trump.

On election night, Omarosa told The Hollywood Reporter that Trump asked her if she was "ready to come with me to Washington." On Wednesday, she tweeted a picture of herself with a poster of Trump. "My last briefing as senior adviser to #realDonaldTrump for campaign."

Former President of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has been announced as the Chairperson of the new board of the highly esteemed annual Tana Forum in Africa as top African leaders meet on Natural Resource Governance in Africa in 2017.

PRESS RELEASE

Tana Forum announces Theme for 2017: Natural Resource Governance in Africa

Former Malawian President Joyce Banda joins Forum Board

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia, November 18, 2016/ -- The theme of the 2017 Tana Forum (www.TanaForum.org) - Natural Resource Governance in Africa - is both timely and relevant given the centrality of natural resources in Africa's quest for sustainable development. The Forum’s Secretariat has prepared a summary document as well as 5 rich infographics (http://APO.af/atPZR2) providing an overview of what can be expected at the Forum next year. The Tana Forum has identified five resource challenges - extractives, land, water, the seas, and forests and biodiversity - to debate why the exploitation of these resources is increasingly a source of tension and violence.

Furthermore, the Tana Forum has announced a new Tana Board (http://APO.af/tkwyd4) consisting of experts, private sector actors, politicians and academics from a wide range of sectors and regions. Among other notable individuals, the new board features former Malawian President Dr. Joyce Banda and former UN Special Envoy to Syria Ambassador Lakhdar Brahimi. President Olusegun Obasanjo, the Chairperson of the Board since its inception in 2012, will continue in this important role for another year in order to create a smooth transition for the incoming leadership team.

The transformation of the Forum into the Tana Foundation is another major development. This new status will allow more flexibility and adaptability in the organisation of this ever-growing annual event as well as a range of other activities in the security field. For instance, the Annual University Essay Competition (http://APO.af/zByDpv) fosters voices from young scholars across the continent and includes them in the informal, accessible and candid discussions Tana is best known for. The competition is open to African nationals enrolled at recognised universities around the continent.

Your sarcasm is noted but they already know this information if they aren't incompetent. The UN and World Bank talk about Intra-African Trade being low aswell.

They live in Nigeria and see the police collect a check points.The economic freedom index is pretty known aswell. Point 2 and 3 is something Nigeria is in full control of anyway.

ECOWAS would need to handle first one better. He made a long list without super obvious fixes that would improve long run with low cost and efficiency.

I was not sarcastic.

Lots of points I would suggest boasting intra-African trade. Despite us being so close African countries don't do that much business with eachother.

http://www.economist.com/blogs/baobab/2013/04/intra-african-trade

2nd the trade we do is terrible due to curruption, poor road networks, red bureaucratic tape, and lastly police check points everywhere slowing down travel. There's an excellent documentary showing the madness.

PRESS RELEASE

Federal Government Negotiating Free Trade Agreements, Updating Trade Policies and Examining the ECOWAS CET

These were made known by FMITI Minister, Dr. Okechukwu Enelamah, during a press conference at the Ministry today in Abuja, to give a status report on the implementation of MITI’s objectives

ABUJA, Nigeria, November 17, 2016/ --

Export Expansion Grant (EEG) to Resume in 2017
Special Economic Zones (SEZ) Receive Attention
1. The Federal Government has said it is in the process of negotiating 21st century Nigerian free trade agreements, with the goal of expanding market opportunities for Nigerian companies as well as looking into the ECOWAS Common External Tariff that has been quite controversial.

2. The Export Expansion Grant (EEG), which was suspended in 2014 following allegations of widespread abuse and the accumulation of significant liability on the Negotiable Duty Credit Certificate (NDCCs), is also expected to resume in 2017.

3. In addition, the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment is currently running a feasibility study for the development of 6 Special Economic Zones (SEZ’s) and securing funding in the Nigerian budget for the first development phase to be launched in 2017.

4. These were made known by FMITI Minister, Dr. Okechukwu Enelamah, during a press conference at the Ministry today in Abuja, to give a status report on the implementation of MITI’s objectives.

5. Enelamah said the Ministry is updating Nigeria’s trade policy priorities by working to correct imbalances in the country’s trade relationships and reversing negotiating failures. One of those items it is examining at the moment is the Economic Community of West Africa States (ECOWAS) CET.

6. CET is a regional tariff structure for West Africa on the basis of which products are imported within the region. It came into effect in 2015 with a transitional period of implementation to 2020. The challenge for the Nigerian economy is that manufacturers and industrialists have taken a strong position that the negotiation that resulted in the CET did not take into account the sensititives of the Nigerian industrial and manufacturing sector.

7. The pre-existing sensitivities have now been compounded with the onset of the recession and other vulnerabilities. Stakeholders have taken the position that the Nigerian economy would be damaged if the CET is implemented in 2020 and that the situation would be compounded if Nigeria signs the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) with the European Union.

8. As a consequence therefore, producers, manufacturers, industrialists and others have requested for the postponement and negotiation of the CET and for the EPA not to be signed. The government is thus, seriously working on these concerns.

9. On the EEG, government intends to resume the scheme in 2017 because of its determination to expand the volume and value of Nigeria’s exports, diversifying export products and improving global competiveness of Nigerian exporters. The scheme will be included in the budget in order to manage the impact on government revenue and promote transparency.

10. The Minister said that approved liability on the Scheme for unused certificates which are either in the custody of exporters or awaiting issuance in the Federal Ministry of Finance, will be settled after the conduct of an audit to verify the actual amount due.

11. Following EEG suspension, Dr. Enelamah had set up an Inter-Ministerial Committee to access the scheme holistically and make recommendations on its continued operation or otherwise and the framework for its continued operation.

12. The committee came up with far reaching recommendations and also made a presentation at the Economic Management Team (EMT) meeting of October 17, 2016, presided over by His Excellency, the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osinbanjo, in which its recommendations were approved.

13. MITI had a meeting a couple of weeks ago with exporters and other stakeholders to discuss and exchange ideas once again on the matter.

14. On the SEZs, the Minister explained that MITI is facilitating the setup of special economic zones throughout Nigeria. Specific goals include to help overcome the infrastructure disadvantages faced by local manufacturers, and promote the cluster effects gained by locating similar manufacturing businesses together.

15. Apart from the funding secured in the Budget for SEZs, other financial partners such as Afreximbank and EXIM bank of China have committed $1bn to the project.

16. On the investment front, MITI is working with the Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC) to enhance investments and reverse the overall decline of FDI inflows. Key achievements include important Investment Promotion and Protection agreements signed with Singapore and UAE and Investment roadshows undertaken in China, Germany, Singapore, Turkey, UAE, UK, and US. Also investors such as GE, Nissan, Coca-cola among others, have continued to express interest to expand investment in Nigeria.

17. On the Enabling Business Environment (EBE), he the stated that the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) has been created and monthly meetings have commenced to monitor results achieved.

18. On Industry, the aim is to broaden the scope and accelerate the growth of the Nigerian manufacturing & industrial businesses, with a special focus on agribusiness and agro allied industries. This includes for example auto assembly and component manufacturing, mining, sugar, food processing, textile and garments, palm oil, and leather.

19. MITI initiatives currently underway within the Nigerian Industrial Revolution Plan (NIRP) include: FG has approved the Nigerian Automotive Industry Development Plan (NAIDP). Secondly, a roadmap implementation has begun with sugar, tomato, textile and garments.

20. Also, in order to keep up with the rapidly transforming global economy, Nigeria’s digitalization has to be accelerated. MITI digitalization initiatives currently underway include: The establishment of the Smart Digital Nigeria Economy Project, as the baseline strategy for the digital-led growth of the Nigerian Economy.

21. MITI is working in partnership with the Bank of Industry (BoI) and other relevant government departments to support MSME’s through funding. Specific MITI initiatives currently underway include: The GEM (Growth and Employment) initiative in collaboration with the World Bank. More specifically, The GEM initiative has identified 23 IDAs (Industrial Cluster Areas) to support MSME’s with capacity development and launch the ‘BIG platform’ funding initiative to provide funding and training for MSME’s.

22. Finally, giving an overview of the MITI vision, Enelamah explained that there are three core pillars (our major strategic programs) and five foundational enablers (necessary conditions to realise our plans) as follows:

23. 3 Core Pillars:
- Implement the Nigerian Industrial Revolution Plan (NIRP)
- Support Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSMEs)
- Support the Digitalization of the Nigerian economy

• 5 Foundational Enablers
- Establish an Enabling Business Environment (EBE)
- Develop Special Economic Zones (SEZ)
- Establish 21st Century trade/Free Trade agreements
- Attract domestic and foreign investments
- Institutionalize the Structural Reform Agenda (SRA)

His great legacy is timeless. Lagos State government should open A Rasheed Gbadamosi Arts Centre in his memory on the Island.

First Facebook Start Meetup in Africa Held in Cape Town

More than 150 developers and entrepreneurs gathered for Facebook’s first FbStart event in Africa on 15 November at AfricaCom 2016 in Cape Town, South Africa.

During this half-day event, attendees met the Facebook team, learned about Facebook platform tools for developers, and saw how Facebook works with mobile app start-ups through the FbStart programme.

“It would not be possible for us to accomplish our mission of making the world more open and connected without the help of developers and other partners in our community,” says Emeka Afigbo, Strategic Products Partnerships Manager, Facebook. “We were delighted by the excellent turnout for the workshop and excited by the possibilities of the great ideas we saw from the delegates at the FbStart event.”
