Facebook’s 22.4millon Nigerian users will see some of the applications they are used to suspended or removed, as the firm continues to improve its privacy status.  In a blog post seen by the GuardianUK, the United States-based social platform, said it had suspended tens of thousands of apps from just 400 developers across the world and are still investigating millions more.

Pills, beverages, food seasonings and other items produced with components from cassava, are likely to witness spike in prices.  This is the submission of Managing Director of Crest Agro, an indigenous cassava processing firm, Tunde Solaja. He, however, held that the forex restriction on by-products of the abundantly produced tuber will encourage investors to aggressively meet local demand. He said, “Within three years, it (products made from processed cassava) will increase if there is consistency in the government’s policy.  “I’ve always had issues with all the bans I’ve heard. Every ban in Nigeria is to create businesses for people.”  Lydia Oyewole, who works in the Fadama set-up in Kogi State, has a different view from that of Solaja.  She feels investors in the cassava processing industry are not sufficient and the government should have worked on building an enabling environment before attempting an importation ban. She said, “We have enough cassava in our country

Zungeru Hydro Electricity Zungeru Hydro Electricity PM NEWS The order of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission that electricity generated by the country’s hydro plants should be fully utilised, will lead to a reduction in the maximisation of power produced by gas-heated plants.  This is according to the Executive Secretary of the Association of Power Generation Companies, Joy Agaji. Agaji said the order was in line with current weather conditions but constraints on the national grid will mean that other power plants will have to take a backseat, while the 1,500MW of power from Jebba, Sharoro and Kainji power stations are fully absorbed. She said, “This directive is understandable given the risks of flooding.  “However, this means that thermal plants will suffer since load allocation is fixed.  “Therefore, they will be dispatched less. There is an electricity dispatch schedule for every plant but there are always exceptions to every rule.  “The flooding of communi

Players in the finance sector say they are unsure of the thinking behind the Central Bank of Nigeria’s decision to effect N50 per N1,000 transaction online. In two circulars, which became effective on Tuesday and Wednesday, the apex bank placed levies on withdrawals and deposits into money deposit banks— a move experts acknowledge could enhance the cashless policy drive and mandate retailers to collect N50 for every N1,000 online transaction they carry out. One expert said, “I’m not sure what the CBN and the government want to achieve.” Founder of Cowry Assets Management LTD, Johnson Chukwu, told SaharaReportersthat the Godwin Emefiele-led CBN will need to harmonise its policies. He said, “The Central Bank and the fiscal authorities have to harmonise their position on what they want to achieve. “Do they (CBN and fiscal authorities) want to drive cashless policy or want to compel people to go back to cash transactions and avoid the banking system?” Expressing similar senti

Herbig–Haro object . Herbig–Haro objects are bright nebular patches formed when narrow jets of partially ionized gas ejected from newborn stars collide with clouds of gas and dust. Often aligned with a star's rotational axis, they are commonly found in star-forming regions. Most of them lie within a few light-years of the source. They are transient phenomena, lasting around a few tens of thousands of years. They can change visibly over just a few years, as they move rapidly away from their parent star. First observed in the late 19th century by Sherburne Wesley Burnham, Herbig–Haro objects were not recognized as distinct from other emission nebulas until the 1940s. The first astronomers to study them in detail were George Herbig and Guillermo Haro, who independently recognized that the objects were by-products of the star formation process. Although the objects emit visible wavelengths, many are hidden by dust and gas, and can only be seen at infrared wavelengths.
