<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Federal Government is to
prosecute telecommunications operators, found to be cheating subscribers
through poor service delivery. The Minister of Communications Technology, Mrs.
Omobola Johnson said the ministry had commenced collaboration with the Consumer
Protection Council (CPC) to sanction operators rendering poor services or
collecting charges from subscribers for services not rendered. Also speaking,
the NCC Executive Vice Chairman, Dr Eugene Juwah, said the commission had
issued a Dec. 31, 2013 deadline to stop telecom operators from selling SIM
packs or expanding their networks if they failed to improve services. On her
part, the Director-General of the CPC, Mrs. Dupe Atoki, said the council had
constituted a consumer education taskforce to enlighten consumers on their
rights and privileges. Atoki also pleaded for more funds from the Federal
Government to enable the CPC achieve the goals for which it was established</span>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The Nigerian Medical Association
(NMA) has planned to withdraw all its members from public health institutions
across the country from Wednesday, December 18, 2013. This was one of the
resolutions reached at the end of the union’s December 2013 National Executive
Council meeting held in Minna, Niger State , over the weekend. A communiqué
issued at the end of the meeting and jointly signed by the national president,
Dr. Osahon Enabulele and national secretary, Dr Akpufuoma Pemu, said the
decision to embark on five days warning strike was arrived at after the
expiration of several ultimatums issued to the Federal Government to meet its
demands, the last which expired on Saturday, December 14, 2013. The NMA said it
had directed all it members in public health institutions to withdraw their
services with effect from 8a.m. on that day and, therefore, appealed to members
of the public “to bear with the association during the period of withdrawal of
services.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">As Ethiopians removed from Saudi Arabia continue filing back into the
country, Israel is also planning to deport 500 Ethiopians, possibly as
early as January 2014.Some 60,000 migrants from different African countries - particularly
Eritrea and Sudan, which makes up the lion's share at some 90 pc of the
total - have entered Israel in recent years through the Sinai Peninsula.
This has led to fears that the Jewish character of the country of 7.8
million is being threatened, as was stated by Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu in a speech in May 2012.In order to assuage those concerns, the country is embarking on a
drive to remove the undocumented migrants, which it calls
'infiltrators', with incentives designed to encourage voluntary
departures. These include 3,500 dollars in compensation for each
migrant, in addition to free plane tickets and health care.For Ethiopians, deportation is to happen within a short period of
time, Fortune has discovered from the Ethiopian Embassy in Tel Aviv,
Israel.</span></span></div>

retrieved from the black box of the aircraft.The proceeding was however a dissapointment to many Nigerians who had
expected that with the minister’s appearance before the Senate on
Tuesday, she would be quizzed on the two BMW bulletproof cars purchased
for her by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority at a cost of N255m. Oduah, who refused to talk to
journalists after the exercise, had explained that the Accident
Investigations Bureau began investigation on the data retrieved form the
black box in the airport’s laboratory.She also showed a two-minute video clips
of the conversations between the two pilots, adding that both engines
of the aircrafts were faulty and should not have flown.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Presidency said on Monday it was no
longer interested in the December 9 deadline it handed over to the
striking university teachers to return to work.Rather, it said it was satisfied with
the lecturers’ level of compliance with the directive to them to
resume work or be sacked.The Senior Special Assistant to
President Goodluck Jonathan on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, said
this while briefing journalists on the payment of the N200bn by the
Federal Government into the “Revitalisation of Universities
Infrastructure” account with the Central Bank of Nigeria.Okupe’s claim of “substantial
compliance” was however described as total falsehood by the Academic
Staff Union of Universities leadership, which also said it would not
attend a meeting on Wednesday 11/12/13 with the Supervising Minister of
Education, Mr. Nyesom Wike, and vice-chancellors on the University
Needs Assessment Report Implementation Committee.Okupe had told journalists that the
Federal Government was soft pedalling on the threat to sack the defiant
ASUU members because many senior citizens and institutions had
intervened.He said that as of Sunday evening,
government had reports that there was substantial compliance by many
lecturers with the directive.The Presidential aide added that the development encouraged the government to mellow down on its earlier tough stance. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The
Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, yesterday, said it would officially launch the
2nd phase of biometric details of all bank customers in the country come
February 14, 2014.The apex bank said it also allocated N132billion of SMEs
funds to women entrepreneurs in the country.Governor of the CBN, Mallam Sanusi
Lamido Sanusi, who disclosed this at the CBN and World Economic Forum meeting
theme in Abuja, said the second phase would ensure full capture of biometric
details of all banks customers nationwide in less than a year. The project,
according to him, is expected to provide a centralized platform through which
banks might enroll and uniquely verify the identity of each customer through
‘know your customer,’ KYC, purposes, perform credit checks, verify customer’s
integrity and authenticate customers from a point of transaction device. Sanusi
said the project represented a major landmark in the Bankers Committee’s
efforts at promoting financial inclusion drive, expanding banking services,

to rid the country of pension scam, the Federal Government is deploying

Practices and other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, and Public Complaints

Transitional Arrangement Department, PTAD, Mrs. Nellie Mayshak, disclosed this

corruption that has blighted Africa’s most populous country and top oil
producer, where the case is being closely watched.Harvard graduate Preko, 54, became the fifth of Ibori’s associates to
be jailed for assisting his corruption after the former governor’s wife,
mistress, sister and lawyer were all convicted by British courts in
previous trials. The cases have been tried in London because some of the money was
laundered in Britain and some of the defendants were based there.
Attempts by Nigeria’s own anti-corruption agency to prosecute Ibori,
dating back to 2007, have foundered.A jury at London’s Southwark Crown Court unanimously convicted Preko, a
Ghanaian national, of two offences of money laundering between March
2003 and April 2008 when he was arrested.He was charged with assisting Ibori in channeling stolen money through a web of offshore trusts and shell companies. Preko had left Goldman Sachs before he committed the offences and the
bank is not accused of any wrongdoing. The court heard Preko tried to
open accounts on Ibori’s behalf when he was still working there but this
was not authorised by the bank.</span></span></div>

by troops loyal to President Bashar al-Assad, as the conflict passed
its 1,000th day.The Damascus-Homs highway had been blocked for around 20 days,
preventing the delivery of fuel to the capital, as troops battled with
rebel fighters to secure control of the town of Nabaak.The Syrian army has been fighting for several weeks to secure the
Qalamoun region, north of Damascus, in a bid to sever rebel supply
routes across the nearby border with Lebanon.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif has said the Iranian nuclear
deal would be dead if the US Congress imposes new sanctions, even if
they do not take effect for six months, Time Magazine reported.In a transcript of the interview, which was conducted on Saturday and
posted online on Monday, Time said it asked Zarif what would happen if
Congress imposed new sanctions, even if they did not go into effect for
six months."The entire deal is dead." replied Zarif. He was referring to a Nov
24 interim agreement with six world powers under which Tehran would curb
its nuclear programme in exchange for limited relief from economic
sanctions over the next six months.The Iranian foreign minister's comments had little apparent effect on
US senators who are preparing legislation to impose new sanctions on
Iran in six months if the deal reached in Geneva goes nowhere.</span></span></div>

northern Kenya, where troops have been sent to stop a week of
fighting between rival ethnic groups.</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The latest deaths bring the toll in the town to more than 30 in the

had with Peoples Democratic Party governors on Sunday which was aimed at
resolving the crisis in the ruling party ended again in a deadlock in
the early hours of Monday.Contrary to expectation, Governor Rabiu
Kwankwaso of Kano State and his Sokoto State counterpart, Aliyu
Wamakko, who had earlier announced their defection to the All
Progressives Congress, stuck to their guns at the end of the meeting.Wamakko told State House correspondents
at about 2.15 am on Monday that he used the opportunity of the meeting
to formally inform the President of the defection of five PDP governors,
including himself, to the APC.He explained that Kwankwaso and himself only attended the meeting out of respect for the President, who invited them.Wamakko said, “The meeting went on
very well because some of us came here as governors. In the PDP matter,
our position has been known.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dr. Sam Amadi, Chairman, National
Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC has said the nation’s deteriorating
power supply is to be blamed on the capacity constraints of the generating
companies, GENCOs, resulting from under-capacity utilisation. About 2,859
megawatts are unutilised due to gas shortage as at December 3<sup>rd</sup>. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His pronouncement came as the NOI Polls, an
indigenous opinion research firm working in partnership with The Gallup Poll
(USA), reported that Nigeria’s electricity supply worsened in November. This is
a further confirmation that since the handover of generating and distribution
companies, DISCOs, to new investors, no new value had been added to the assets
of the defunct Power Holding Company of Nigeria, PHCN. Instead, blackout has
persisted in the country. Amadi explained that there were capacity constraints
with regard to the output of the generating companies, which may have affected
the ability of the distribution companies to function properly. He also said
that contracts for the expansion of the transmission grid would soon be ready.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The UN Security Council has authorised increased military action by
France and African troops in the Central African Republican to try to
end the unrest.The council's unanimous approval of a French-sponsored resolution on
Thursday came amid reports that at least 100 people have died in Bangui,
the capital of the former French colony, in the heaviest clashes in the
city in months.The Central African Republic has been rocked by Muslim-Christian
violence after an alliance of Muslim rebels, originally from
neighbouring Chad and Sudan, ousted former president Francois Bozize in
March.The predominantly Christian country has since suffered a
wave of killings, torture and rapes that human rights groups blame on
rival armed groups. The fighting is mainly between Seleka, who are
predominantly Muslim, and the Christian Balaka.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Nigeria
has been ranked as the world’s 10th worst human rights offender, a global
rights watch has said.In its 2014 Human Rights Risk Atlas, Maplecroft revealed
that in the past six years, the number of countries with an “extreme risk” of
human rights offences has risen dramatically. And Nigeria is 10th on that list. In
fact the country falls within those classified as extreme. On the economy and
environment, the report said, “the economies of Myanmar (8th), Nigeria (10th),
Ethiopia (28th), and Indonesia (30th), present a particularly high risk to
business.“In such economies, a high rate of deforestation, coupled with the
unchecked conduct of security forces and a climate of impunity for human rights
violations has led to a high risk of ‘land grabs’ at the expense of indigenous
peoples rights, property rights and minority rights.”Several countries in
sub-Saharan Africa also made the list of the top 10 worst offenders, primarily
for ongoing ethnic conflicts and sexual violence.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Former South African President Nelson Mandela died on Thursday at the age of 95.Mandela, the first black and post
apartheid President of South Africa, died in his home in Johannesburg,
according to South African President Jacob Zuma, who announced the late
anti-apartheid hero’s death.Mandela was discharged from a Pretoria
hospital in September after spending seven months in the lung hospital,
where he was admitted for lung infection. Relatives and the South
African government have consistently maintained that his condition was
“stable but critical.”In announcing Mandela’s death on
Thursday night, President Zuma said in his address, “Nelson Mandela, 95,
passed away at his home a short while ago. While the late President’s
health had been in steady decline for a number of years, it is still
difficult to come to terms with the fact that he is no longer with us. I am truly proud to be from the same continent as a man such as Mandela. Rest In Peace- you deserve it.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I'm beyond curious to know how the government intends to pull this off...Members of the Upper Chamber of
the National Assembly are proposing a bill seeking to convict social media
critics in Nigeria. The bill has reportedly passed a second reading on the
floor of the Senate, and if finally passed into law, will ensure that any
social media critic found guilty will go behind bars for seven years. The joint
Senate Committees on Judiciary, Human Rights and legal matters, Drugs,
Narcotics and Financial Crimes led by Senator Umaru Dahiru organised a one-day public hearing on the bill for an act to provide
for the prohibition and punishment for electronic fraud and crime in all electronic
transactions in Nigeria. The Bill is to minimise some provocative criticisms
against the government of Nigeria and its leaders, especially President
Goodluck Jonathan, who has been constantly attacked by Nigerians on social
media platforms. Section 13, subsection 3 of the bill proposes that: “Anyone
who intentionally propagates false information that could threaten the security
of the country or that is capable of inciting the general public against the
government through electronic message shall be guilty of an offence, and upon
conviction shall be sentenced to seven years imprisonment or a N5 million fine. It's obvious this bill targets the likes of Mallam El- Rufai,Dino Melaye and others yet they are generalising it. Scared much???</span></div>
