Made-in Nigeria speed limiter better, cheaper than imported ones – Onu

The speed limiting device being manufactured
in Nigeria is better and cheaper than the
imported ones, Minister of Science and
Technology, Ogbonnaya Onu, has said.
Onu, who spoke with the correspondent of the
News Agency of Nigeria in New York, said
made-in-Nigeria device was a research product
where Nigerians in Diaspora could make
legitimate money.

         
Onu: ANPP leader

The Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC,
began the enforcement of the installation of
the device in commercial vehicles in February.

He said: “Our Road Safety Commission has
mandated all our commercial vehicles to
deploy speed limiting device and we import
this; each one costs an average of N40,000.

So, for just one million vehicles, we are looking
at N40 billion, that’s the business.
“But ultimately, this enforcement will go round.

So, if you have 10 million to 20 million vehicles,
you can imagine looking at almost N800 billion
businesses.

“One of our agencies, Sheda Science and
Technology Complex, SHESTCO, brought the
device to me; it is better than the best that is
being brought into the country. And I still
asked them to go and work and get it to be
cheaper and better.”

Jose Mourinho explains who his one-finger celebration was aimed at

Posted By
Jose Mourinho certainly didn’t hide his emotions after winning the Europa League with Manchester United. After his side triumphed over Ajax 2-0, the Portuguese boss celebrated wildly. Mourinho was seen embracing his son, whilst telling all of his players to hold up three fingers to signify their fairly underwhelming ‘treble’ of the Community Shield, EFL Cup and now the Europa League. But there was one action that nobody could quite understand. Immediately after the final whistle, Mourinho could be seen shaking his index finger rather passionately at the crowd. But what did it mean? Did he mean this was the first major trophy of his spell at United? Did it mean that he was still the Special One? Or was it a message to the victims of the Manchester attacks on Monday? Well, none of the above, actually. Mourinho has actually revealed exactly who his one-finger celebration was aimed at. Mourinho explains his celebration "It's for my family," Mourinho sa...

In a statement on Monday published on its website, Ofcom stated that the caution followed an investigation into the matter. The statement read in part, “Our investigation found that a report on Loveworld News included unsubstantiated claims that 5G was the cause of the pandemic, and that this was the subject of a ‘global cover-up’. “Another report during the programme suggested hydroxychloroquine as a ‘cure’ for Covid-19, without acknowledging that its effectiveness and safety as a treatment was clinically u...
