AMCON STATEMENT

A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory in Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1136/2019 has ordered AMCON to take over the business & assets of Bedko Nigeria Limited and Alhaji Buba Galadima—both parties owe AMCON nearly N900million.
#Thread
The loan was purchased during the first phase of Eligible Bank Assets purchase from Unity Bank Plc in 2011. Since then, AMCON has offered the obligor a good measure of olive branches and explored all avenues to resolve the matter amicably, ...
... but the obligor, and his company, Bedko Nigeria Limited have remained recalcitrant and unwilling to repay the huge debt to the Corporation.

The Federal Governement of Nigeria (FGN) has engaged and continues to engage with international partners, including the USA, in the recovery and return to Nigeria of stolen assets. Nigeria and the USA are continually cooperating in the recovery and return of those assets.
This long-standing cooperation recently culminated in the successful signing of memorandum of understanding for the repatriation of over $300 million looted assets associated with General Sani Abacha.
Recall that prior to the 2020 agreement with the USA and Island of Jersey, the Federal Government of Nigeria had signed an agreement for the return of over 300 million US Dollars in 2017 which was effectively deployed for the purpose for which it was agreed to be applied.

Highlights of Statement by Dr. Umar Jibrilu Gwandu, Special Assistant on Media and Public Relations,
Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, regarding the Abacha Loot.

Saturday 22nd of February, 2020

#Thread
The government of President Buhari remained committed to the recovery of whatever funds are owed Nigeria and the government in that regard has gone to court in different countries to assert its rights as victim of corruption in order to have those assets returned to Nigeria.
In the same manner that Nigeria is asserting its rights to the assets, there are others, including individuals, entities and countries who have rights and who have gone to court to contest the legality or otherwise of Nigeria’s claims against their assets.

In line with my earlier resolve to commence the process of amending the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, today I constituted a 56 man constitution review committee to be headed by the Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege.
The committee will engage not only members of the National Assembly, and other statutory bodies like INEC, Civil Society groups, it will also engage with Nigerians who are interested in the way and manner we do our duties in the Senate.
Distinguished Senators who are not members can still participate by giving any submission, and any advice they feel strongly about for this committee to succeed.

Calif. Taxpayers on Hook for Six-Figure Government Pensions freebeacon.com/issues/calif-t…
Nearly 80,000 Californians collected six-figure taxpayer-funded pensions in 2018, as retirement costs leave half the state's cities at "high risk" of serious financial distress, according to an analysis.
Transparent California, a free-market think tank, found that 6 percent of retired government workers collected more than $100,000 in 2018, an 85 percent jump since 2013.

A Thread About School Segregation: During Reconstruction, local black communities did not push integrated public schools as the South moved to the first public schools on a large scale. They wanted equal funding for their schools. There was a brief moment of relative parity.
Whites were openly hostile to the idea of ANY education for African Americans. They considered it wasted money. One of the top complaints during Redemption was that school funds for black students were a waste.
As highlighted by @KeriLeighMerrit, the South was against education for the masses generally, but they were absolutely terrified about what schooling for blacks would do. An educated population with the right to vote could undue their policies designed to reinforce inequality.

In the NYT @jonathanalter says FDR "ran in the fall [of 1932] as an upbeat fuzzy moderate… Even after Roosevelt took office at the depths of the Depression, he had no unified plan, just a vague commitment to 'action and action now.'"

This is wrong.

nytimes.com/2019/06/21/opi…
@jonathanalter One of the reasons we know it's wrong is that Herbert Hoover knew what Roosevelt's plans were, and it's not because Hoover was privy to the Roosevelt circle's inner workings but because Roosevelt—as Hoover complained—made "constant promise" of his plans.
Through the course of the 1932 campaign Roosevelt gave a series of speeches, each addressing a specific issue. You can find them in the NYT's own coverage.

”How cities erode gender inequalities: a new theory & evidence from Cambodia”!

This is the most important paper I’ve ever written, the culmination of a decade’s work on social norms, & it’s just been accepted by Gender & Society!!

docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/2e7ace_0cd…
This is the 3rd (maybe 4th?) paper I’ve submitted to Gender & Society!!

All rejected!! 😫

But I kept on trying... 🙇‍♀️

Persevering!! 🐘

And I was especially keen for this paper to be accepted there, hopefully encouraging more studies in this field! 😊🙌🏞🏙
Here's the thing..

Studies of social change typically look at individual- or country-level characteristics

This omits the #places we live in.

In subnational comparisons, we see faster social change in cities.

Why?

And what does it tell us about the drivers of social change?

#SupplyChains #India needs to work indipendently with #USA and #China to separate the supply chains headed in the two directions and try to shift as much of them as possible to India
2/n
3/n #SupplyChains This is the final opportunity for making India a manufacturing hub, & bring manufacture jobs to India. It would be tragic if we miss this opportunity. I suggest that the new Govt appoint a #MOS(Supply Chains)in @PMOIndia to attract Global supply chains to India.
