  Oshiomhole Convinced Us To Make Obaseki Governor – Philip Shaibu Philip Shaibu, the former Deputy Governor of Edo State, has disclosed that his choice to support his former boss, Godwin Obaseki, stemmed from his respect for Adams Oshiomhole, the former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC). According to Naija News, Shaibu shared his doubts about Obaseki during an interview on Channels Television’s Political Paradigm program on Tuesday. Shaibu admitted that he lacked confidence in Obaseki's leadership even before they took office on November 12, 2016. He explained that despite his initial hesitations, he ultimately backed Obaseki out of respect and based on the assurances provided by Oshiomhole. He stated, “Obaseki is not a politician. We made him governor because Oshiomhole persuaded us. I was not among those who thought he should not be governor; it was because I didn’t have faith in him. “When he was nominated to run, I was the last person to oppose him, but ...

 FG Establishes Joint Committee to Safeguard Fiber Optic Cables


The Federal Government has set up a Joint Standing Committee on the Protection of Fiber Optic Cables to address the recurring damage to fiber networks caused by road construction and rehabilitation projects.


The committee, a collaboration between the Federal Ministry of Works (FMoW) and the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy (FMoCIDE), was inaugurated on February 18 by Permanent Secretaries Engr. Olufunso Adebiyi (FMoW) and Engr. Farouk Yusuf (FMoCIDE) at the FMoW boardroom. The event also had in attendance the Executive Vice Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Dr. Aminu Maida.


Comprising representatives from both ministries and the NCC, the committee is tasked with coordinating measures to prevent fiber cable damage during road projects and reducing service disruptions caused by construction activities and vandalism.


Engr. Adebiyi stated that the committee will act as a bridge between the ministries and the NCC, ensuring fiber optic cable protection is incorporated into road planning, design, and execution. He added that regular performance reports will be submitted, and a real-time communication system will be developed to facilitate prompt information sharing among stakeholders.


Engr. Yusuf emphasized the vital role of fiber optic cables in Nigeria’s digital economy, describing them as essential to broadband connectivity, economic development, and technological progress.


Dr. Maida highlighted the urgency of the initiative, revealing that in 2023 alone, Nigeria recorded over 50,000 fiber cuts, with approximately 30,000 linked to road construction. He cited the February 2024 MTN network outage as a significant example of the consequences of fiber damage.


"A major cause of these fiber cuts is the lack of coordination between road construction firms and telecom operators. This committee’s efforts will help minimize network disruptions, reduce repair costs, and enable telecom companies to invest more in network expansion and infrastructure upgrades," Maida stated.


The formation of the Joint Standing Committee marks a crucial step in safeguarding Nigeria’s fiber optic infrastructure, improving collaboration between stakeholders, and ensuring uninterrupted telecommunications services.
