Niger Delta Crisis: Yar`Adua talks Amnesty, prepares for war

Niger Delta Crisis: Yar`Adua talks Amnesty, prepares for war Amid tepid attempts at addressing the escalating conflict in the Niger Delta, there are strong indications that President Musa Yar`Adua?s offer of amnesty to the militants will no longer be tenable after the 60-day deadline for militants to surrender all their illicit weapons and to unconditionally renounce militancy and endorse an undertaking to that effect.The first consignment of two 38 meter Manta-class patrol boats built by the Nautica Nova Shipbuilding yard in Malaysia and fully financed by NNPC have already been delivered to the Navy. Defense ministry sources told Huhuonline.com that another four 17 meter Manta-class patrol boats from Singapore Technologies Marine have also been delivered while talks are currently underway with French and British shipyards.

CBN: Who's in charge? A new era of the CBN Governor as the brutal financial plumbing inspector may be underway, or so it seems, with the arrival of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi at the helm of Nigeria?s apex bank. The urbane intellectual who succeeded Charles C. Soludo as Nigeria's new Central Bank Governor has combined a long career in commercial banking with studies for a degree in Islamic law and his duties as a Prince in Kano's royal house. His grandfather, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi, was the Eleventh Emir of Kano. CBN: Who's in charge? An appointee from Kano (as are the ministers of Finance and National Planning), Sanusi attracted criticism from southern politicians, led by Tony Anenih, who objected to a third high-level post going to someone from Kano.

RE: Report of The Committee on the Review of Revoked Titles of plot in the fct between 2004 AND 2007 When I was assigned by President Olusegun Obasanjo GCFR to the then Ministry of FCT (MFCT), he gave me the mandate to clean up amongst other things, the FCT land administration system which he adjudged to be a major source of corruption and rent-seeking within the Federal Government. In the FCT, we found that the President's judgment was largely correct. For instance, we discovered that: 1. Many Nigerians, particularly the political and military elite had been allocated plots of land which had remained undeveloped for years. These plots of land were in every way developable and the title-holders persons of financial capacity evidenced by their generally expensive life styles! I can give you several examples if you need further convincing.Read more @ http://www.huhuonline.com/specialletter55.html
