Nigeria To Hold Talks With Ghana Over Gas Supply Threat - ChannelsTV

By

The Ghanaian Government delegation is in Nigeria to hold emergency talks with the Federal Government, to avert a drastic gas supply cut threat.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) said it will cut gas supply by 70 per cent to Ghana’s main power generation company by Friday, owing to unpaid debts of $181 million.
Ghana has already suffered power shortages and Nigerian gas meets about 25 per cent of its needs.
Ghana was for years one of Africa’s economic stars, but falling global commodity prices have blunted the value of its gold, cocoa and oil exports.
Its fiscal problems include inflation of up to 17.4 per cent in September, a currency that has fallen sharply in the last two years and a debt-to-GDP ratio of around 70 per cent.

Zahra and Kiki: Nigeria’s newest divas

By
Few months back, nobody really knew who Zahra Buhari was. In fact, if not that she is one of the daughters of Nigeria’s President- elect, General Muhamadu Buhari (retd), Zahra, indeed, would have just been like any other babe, a fine girl. But then, politics came, her father picked up the presidential ticket for his party, All Progressive Congress, followed it up with a massive political campaign and boom, Zahra surfaced! Now, as the daughter of the first family, it isn’t out of the ordinary that the lady and her siblings, would be under the scrutiny of the media, being the children of the first family. But even before people would wonder and speculate about the children of the presidential candidate of the APC and now the President-elect, Zahra made it easier for nosy parkers; she posted an incredible picture of herself online.
