 Morocco to launch 5G network ahead of major football events Morocco will launch the 5G network in the run-up to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON 2025) and the 2030 FIFA World Cup, a government minister said, Xinhua reported. The 5G network is expected to cover 25 percent of the Moroccan population by 2026 and 70 percent by 2030, with full coverage of the cities that will host the 2030 FIFA World Cup matches, Amal El Fallah Seghrouchn, minister of Digital Transition and Administration Reform, told the House of Representatives. As a country that made history with its fourth place in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Morocco will host AFCON 2025 independently and the 2030 FIFA World Cup alongside Portugal and Spain. The two major football tournaments are thought to give a boost for facilitating Morocco's infrastructure development, especially in the sector of telecommunications.

 Supreme Court Rejects Suit Seeking To Compel FG To Account For Gas Earnings


The Supreme Court has struck out a suit by the 36 state governments seeking to among others, compel the Federal Government to account for its earnings from the sale of liquefied natural gas, natural gas liquids and related products since 1999.


In a unanimous judgment, a seven-member panel of the court, presided over by Justice Uwani Abba-Aji held that the court lacked the original jurisdiction to hear and determine the suit, which has the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) as the sole defendant.


In the lead judgment, Justice Mohammed Lawal Garba upheld the preliminary objection raised against the suit by the AGF and held that the subject of the case had been dealt with by the Supreme Court in its earlier decision in the case of the Attorney General of Bauchi State against the AGF.


Justice Garba agreed with the defendant that the suit amounted to an attempt to re-litigate issues already decided by the Supreme Court in the AG, Bauchi v. AGF case, which relates to the revenues accruable to the government of the federation, which are payable into the federation account.


He held that the Supreme Court lacked the original jurisdiction to preside over and determine the case.


The judge proceeded to strike out the suit for want of jurisdiction to hear the case as presently constituted.


Other members of the panel – Justices Abba-Aji, Emmanuel Agim, Simon Tsammani, Stephen Adah and Jamilu Tukur agreed with the lead judgment.
