Fear Of Buhari: Jim Ovia Returns Jonathan’s Spectrum Gift With His 3 Billion Naira Paid For The License Refunded Back

jim-ovia_650x455
Billionaire ex-Zenith Bank MD and Chairman of Visafone, Jim Ovia has returned a spectrum frequency that was purportedly issued secretly to him by former President Goodluck Jonathan, Technology Times  has reported.
According to Technology Times, Ovia wrote to the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), the telecoms regulatory body, offering to return the spectrum.
It was gathered that the process for the acquisition of the frequency was allegedly done through the back door and should have commanded a higher price in an open bidding.

The report said that Ovia’s request was granted and his N3 billion payment was promptly refunded. Globacom boss, Mike Adenuga who also got the license alongside Ovia is still holding onto his own.

“Digital dividend” is a coveted platform by telecoms companies across the world as it enables them to launch a faster mobile broadband service. According to the reports, the new spectrum is available after the migration of broadcasting from analogue to digital, thereby freeing part of the electromagnetic spectrum previously used for broadcasting.
The Nigerian broadcasting framework is billed to transition from analogue to digital this year.
Digital TV typically needs a lower spectrum than analogue.

Buhari expected to keep oil portfolio for himself.....Reuters


President Muhammadu Buhari is likely to keep the oil portfolio for himself in the new Nigerian cabinet, rather than trust anyone else with the source of most of Nigeria's revenue and traditional fount of corruption, associates say.
Nigeria’s oil sector is so dirty that nobody’s hands are clean enough to do the “surgical changes” needed, one long-standing associate told Reuters on condition of anonymity because the cabinet decision is still under wraps.
Another political associate said: “He will do it. It would be stupid to give that position to anyone else.”
The first source said Buhari has still not settled on his cabinet and has laughed off media speculation about figures he will appoint, joking with friends as he read out a newspaper article that mentioned possible names: "They have picked my ministers for me! Have I even told you who I want?"
“He’s emotionally attached to the refineries because he built some of them. He wants them to start functioning again,” the APC source said.
