How Nigerian Navy Board Denied Eligible Officers Promotion

-
The Nigerian Navy authorities have refused to effect the promotion of 53 senior officers from the rank of Navy Captain to the flag rank of Navy Commodore despite approval by the Naval Board, in some cases, since 2014.  A signal released by the Navy and obtained by SaharaReporters shows the names and ranks of the affected officers. It also shows the dates from which their respective promotion should have taken effect. For some reasons, the officers remain moored on the ranks they should have left behind.
The promotion of four of the officers should have taken effect since September 2014. Those in this category are AS Bakari (NN 1563), KO Ojo (NN 1579), K Pindar (NN 1584) and I. Zelani (NN 1586) whose promotion should have taken effect on 27 September 2014. The category also includes T. Sani, whose promotion was in effect from September 21, 2014. A total of nine officers should have been elevated in 2015. They include S.G Dogo (NN 1567), I.B Olawuyi, T.A Osoba, GT Pwol, A.I Yakubu (NN/1618), L.K Amao (NN/1699) and AD Bingel (NN/1705), whose promotions should have taken effect between September and December 2015.
Nine of the officers were due to have moved to their new rank since 2016. They include DO Tubonimi (NN/1439), GS Abubakar (NN/1509), O.F Esekhile (NN/1521) and A.A Adesanya (NN/1695). The remaining officers, the signal shows, should have had their promotion take effect from as way back as February 2017. Though some of those promoted have their elevation listed as taking effect from dates in December 2017, they may have to stay for as long as others have stayed to move to their new ranks. That, possibly, maybe three or more years.

OANDO Scandal: The Letter To The Minister Of Finance That Got SEC Director-General Gwarzo Fired

-

The sack, last week, of Mr. Mounir Gwarzo as Director-General (DG) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) by Finance Minister, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, was provoked by a letter found offensive by the minister. While the official spiel was that Mr. Gwarzo was relieved of his appointment because of a wave of corruption allegations swirling around him, including paying himself over N100million in retirement benefits to which he was not eligible, it was the letter that made Mrs. Adeosun pull the trigger. In the letter, exclusively obtained by SaharaReporters, Mr. Gwarzo pointedly refused the minister's instruction that the SEC should halt its investigation of Oando Plc, former employers of Mrs. Adeosun, for crooked book-keeping and corruption. Dated  November 28 and titled "Investigation of Oando Plc," Mr. Gwarzo's letter opened with a recall of the meeting held with Mrs. Adeosun on 27 November, where the minister verbally directed the SEC to discontinue the foren...

Trolltunga is one of Norway’s most famous geological sites – and one of its most controversial.  Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Reddit Share on WhatsApp Share on Google+ Share by Email We reached Trolltunga after seven hours, 13.5km and 1,000m of elevation gain. The fog rolled in as a line of 35 people waited to take their picture on the iconic cliff. Translating to ‘Troll’s Tongue’, Trolltunga juts out of a steep mountainside 700m above Lake Ringedalsvatnet near Odda in south-western Norway. Formed 10,000 years ago during the Ice Age when a glacier frozen to the mountain broke off, it has in recent years become one of Norway’s most famous geological sites – and one of its most controversial. Deciding we’d wait until the next morning to have our picture taken on the rock, my hiking partner Jacqueline and I were shown to our tent by our day guide. The only ones in our group to stay overnight, we tossed our rucksacks in the already...
