President Muhammadu Buhari
Earlier yesterday President Muhammadu Buhari assured oil companies operating in the Niger Delta, the southern part of Nigeria that the Federal Government will take all necessary actions to protect strategic assets in the region from criminals.

In a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the President spoke while receiving the Global Director (Upstream) of the Royal Dutch Shell Group , Mr. Andrew Brown, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Where he told his guest that he has directed the Chief of Naval Staff to reorganise and strengthen the military Joint Task Force in the Niger Delta due to known cases of vandalism in the region with militants targeting oil and gas facilities.

He further explained that it was important for his government to take the issue seriously as it threatens the national economy of the country.

“We have to be very serious with the situation in the Niger Delta because it threatens the national economy. I assure you that everything possible will be done to protect personnel and oil assets in the region,” ---He Said.

He added that the operations of the JTF were  also  being enhanced in the areas of training, intelligence, equipment and logistics with increased support from the United States and Europe.

Following the recent uproar over a Buhari's minister's pledge of allegiance to Atiku Abubakar , writer, Ethelbert Okere analysis the unpredictable allegiance. Ever since he formally declared the restructuring debate open, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has taken the center stage on national discourse. As against expectations in some quarters, the restructuring issue has seized the entire nation with the former vice president playing a role that looks like that of a moderator. But two different, though related, events last week brought in a fresh vista on the growing Atiku phenomenon.

New Tech Charges Your Phone With Salt Water

The Swedish's startup MyFC reveals its new technology, JAQ , earlier this year. The device, which is small enough to fit in your back pocket is said to be a fuel cell charger. It uses saltwater and oxygen to convert chemical energy into electricity. Then uses that electricity to charge your phone's battery. The charger consists of a credit card-shaped "Power Card" and a hollowed out port that's roughly the size of a smartphone. This power card contains saltwater, which fuels electricity-producing chemical reactions when you slip the card into the port. One JAQ Power Card produces about 1,800 milliampere-hours' (1.8A) worth of current, that's nearly enough energy to fully charge an iPhone 6S. Larger devices, like tablets, can also be charged with the fuel cell, but it'll take more than one power card to get them fully charged. Disadvantages 1. The saltwater-contained power cards are good for just one use. After that, they stop producing the che...
