 Hundreds feared killed in Sudan as RSF launches attack on famine-stricken camp A devastating assault by Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on Zamzam Camp for displaced people near al-Fasher has left hundreds dead or wounded, the foreign ministry and aid groups said on Saturday, in what some described as one of the worst violations since the war began, Reuters reported. The first wave of multiple attacks began on Thursday, according to a release from advocacy group the General Coordination of Displaced Persons and Refugees, with the assaults continuing through Friday and Saturday, destroying homes, markets, and healthcare facilities. That left "hundreds dead and wounded, the majority of whom were also women and children", the organisation said. It condemned the attack as "a war crime and crime against humanity". Similar assaults on Abu Shouk Camp earlier in the week killed 35 civilians, it added. "The humanitarian situation in al-Fasher is collapsing,"...

I WON'T BENEFIT FROM FG'S REINSTATEMENT OF INTELS CONTRACT-ATIKU.(PHOTO).


I wonā€™t benefit from FGā€™s reinstatement of Intelsā€™ contract ā€” Atiku

The 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, says he wonā€™t benefit from the Federal Governmentā€™s reinstatement of Integrated Logistic Services Nigeria Limited boat pilotage monitoring business.

Nigerian Ports Authority, in a letter by Port Manager, Charles Okaga, dated November 30 addressed to all shipping companies, announced the reinstatement of Intels as the Authorityā€™s service boat operation monitoring provider in the pilotage districts.

The letter partly read, ā€œThis is to kindly inform you that sequel to the Presidential Directives dated 18th August 2023 and the consent Judgment of the Federal High Court, Lagos dated 21st of September 2023, the Authority has extended the Service Boat Operation Contract between it and Intels Nigeria Limited.

ā€œFurther to the above and to support the Authorityā€™s and Federal Governmentā€™s drive to increase revenue generation from the Service Boat Operations, Messrs. Intels Nigeria Limited has been directed to resume services immediately. This is in line with the terms of the extended contract contained in the Managing Agency Agreement conveying the scope of Services, in addition to the obligations of the Agent.ā€

Some Nigerians had alleged that President Bola Tinubu had reinstated the Former Vice Presidentā€™s business in Intel.

Debunking this in a statement via his official Facebook page on Sunday, Atiku explained that he sold his shares in Intel in January 2021 to Orlean Investment Group, the parent company of Intels.

The PDP presidential flagbearer added, ā€œThe phased sale of those shares that commenced in 2018 peaked in December 2020. Intels also made public my exit from the oil and gas logistics company, meaning that a different entity now owns those shares I sold.

ā€œMy divestment from the company that I co-founded has not been reversed. Consequently, I cannot, by any stretch of the imagination, be a beneficiary of the reinstatement of the boat pilotage monitoring business that was taken away from Intels by the Federal Government.ā€

He described the insinuation that heā€™s a beneficiary of the decision to rescind the cancellation of the contract between Intels and the Federal Government as untrue and mischievous.
