 Over 25 million phones stolen in one year – FG The Crime Experience and Security Perception Survey report of the National Bureau of Statistics, a Federal Government agency, shows that Nigeria recorded 25.35 million phone theft cases between May 2023 and April 2024. According to the report, this was the most common type of crime within the period under review. The report read, “The number of crimes experienced by individuals in Nigeria was analysed over a period of time. The results show that theft of phones (25,354,417) was the most common crime experienced by individuals, followed by consumer fraud (12,107,210) and assault (8,453,258). However, hijacking of cars (333,349) was the least crime experienced by individuals within the reference period.” It also noted that most phone theft cases occurred either at home or in a public place, and about 90 per cent of such cases were reported to the police. Despite the high rate of the incident being reported, only about 11.7 per cent of t...

 NAF ADOPTS PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE CULTURE- CAS



The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Hasan Abubakar, has stated that the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) is currently adopting the predictive maintenance culture across all NAF Engineering and Maintenance units, designed to assist in determining the condition of in-service aircraft and other equipment in order to estimate, ahead of time, when maintenance should be performed. He stated this recently while addressing personnel of NAF Logistics Command, Lagos, during his operational tour of NAF units in the Lagos area. This approach, according to the CAS, will enable cost savings over routine or time-based proactive or preventive maintenance culture. Air Marshal Abubakar went on to state that the advantage of predictive maintenance is that it allows for convenient scheduling of corrective maintenance and prevents unexpected equipment failures. He also noted that with the right data of equipment lifetime, the tendency for increased plant safety, fewer accidents with negative impact on environment, and optimized spare parts handling is assured. According to him, “We have moved away from proactive maintenance culture to predictive maintenance. This has been possible because we have continued to keep up-to-date data about our spares and current maintenance status of all our platforms. With this, it will enable us to provide spares before they are due for maintenance. It will also reduce downtime while expediting aircraft serviceability.”


The CAS also spoke about the need to continually sustain and enhance NAF’s safety standards. While he reemphasized that safety training will henceforth be compulsory in all NAF training institutions, he also revealed that all NAF institutions have been directed to review their curriculums to include all aspects of safety training. 

  

Predictive maintenance differs from proactive maintenance because it relies on the actual condition of equipment, rather than average or expected life statistics, to predict when maintenance will be required. Some of the main components that are necessary for implementing predictive maintenance are data collection and preprocessing, early fault detection, fault detection, time to failure predictions, maintenance scheduling and resource optimization.


Predictive maintenance is well entrenched in advanced militaries worldwide. According to an article published on 19 January 2023 in defensenews.com, the US Army, for instance, first implemented predictive maintenance on it AH-64 helicopters in 2005. By 2012, the Service was using this approach with the UH-60 helicopter as well as some vehicle programs. By early 2022, it had installed predictive maintenance capability on 65% of its CH-47 Chinook cargo helicopter fleet.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
