NEWS: President Buhari Dissolves NNPC Board Of Directors

This information that was found on NTA News tweet this afternoon:


it is also found in a letter signed by Mr. Danladi Kifasi (head of the civil service of the federation.)

In the letter, President Muhammad Buhari thanked members of the dissolved board for their services to the Nation.

The presidential aide Mr. Femi Adesina, told Sahara Reporters that “you can’t make changes without having new leadership” and that Buhari remains “committed to cleaning up the system, and wants accountability and transparency in the oil industry.” and also added that “people must be patient for the President’s next move.”

The NNPC is the state-run oil company which oversees Nigeria’s oil and gas industry. It’s board is statutorily headed by the minister of petroleum resources.

As it was reported earlier the restructuring of Petroleum Corporation, may benefit many northerners, a development that is already producing tension within and outside the NNPC.

Some experts have also supposes that it can causes doom for the petroleum industry if the policies are implemented.
Nigeria’s leader will probably appoint himself as the new minister of petroleum resources.

It should be also noted that the National Assembly has also set to investigate the activities of NNPC.

President Jonathan "ENDS QUARREL" With Obasanjo

President Goodluck Jonathan seems to have improved on his relationship with former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, after sending him a rare message of commiseration on the death of his sister, Adunni Oluniola Eweje-Obasanjo. Since Obasanjo’s letter to the president went viral in December 2013, the president stopped all forms of felicitation or commiseration with the former head of state. Before then, though, Jonathan had “nothing but the greatest respect for Obasanjo” and he had said he would not probe his benefactor. “The president has nothing but the greatest respect for Chief Obasanjo’s very notable contributions to national growth and development over many years and far from taking offence or seeking retaliation, will always welcome objective criticism and advice from the very highly-regarded elder statesman,” Reuben Abati, special adviser to the president on media and publicity, wrote in 2013. Evidence of a sour relationship between the duo came to fore in December, when Abati, ...

Fabric that stores information invisibly, without electronics

A new type of smart fabric developed at the University of Washington could pave the way for jackets that store invisible passcodes and open the door to your apartment or office. The UW computer scientists have created fabrics and fashion accessories that can store data -- from security codes to identification tags -- without needing any on-board electronics or sensors. Using magnetic properties of conductive thread, University of Washington researchers are able to store data in fabric. In this example, the code to unlock a door is stored in a fabric patch and read by an array of magnetometers. As described in a paper presented Oct. 25 at the Association for Computing Machinery's User Interface Software and Technology Symposium (UIST 2017), they leveraged previously unexplored magnetic properties of off-the-shelf conductive thread. The data can be read using an instrument embedded in existing smartphones to enable navigation apps. "This is a completely electronic-f...
