NIGERIA
Vatsa and others to face firing squad
Thirteen officers of the armed forces have been sentenced to death by firing squad by a military tribunal for having plotted to overthrow the government of President Babangida last December.Among them is Major-General Mammon Vatsa, popularly known for his poems, a member of President Babandida's ruling council, AFRC, who was also a member of General Buhari's SMC which was overthrown in August by President Babangida.
The Special Military Tribunal, with Maj- Gen Charles Ndiomu as its president, sat in camera but the media were invited from time to time to cover its proceedings. Representatives of the Nigerian Bar Association and the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions were allowed at the tribunal's sittings as observers. Earlier the tribunal had released two other military officers also accused of plotting a coup. They are Group Captains Saludeen Latinwo and David Ikpeme.
Resolution of inter-state boundary dispute
The long-standing dispute over Ake island in the River Niger, which has been the source of intermittent clashes between the people of Igala in Benue State, and Udochi in Bendel State, has been resolved. This followed a meeting between Governor John Inienger of Bendel State, and his Benue State counterpart, Group Capt David Jang.In a communique, the two Governors accepted the Federal Government's decision on the issue as contained in the white paper on the boundary adjustment commission in 1976 that Ake island should continue to be administered as part of Benue State.
Two joint committees will meet periodically to ensure peace in the area. They will asses the damage said to have been done to property during disturbances last December and make appropriate recommendations.
Babangida's achievements
The Federal Government has approved the nomination of Mr Martin Evans as the new British High Commissioner to Nigeria. Dis- closing this in an interview published in the Financial Times of London, President Ibrahim Babangida expressed the hope that the nomination of his Nigerian counterpart would be approved by the British government.The President said that the two countries. had bridged the gap in their relations that was created by the attempt to kidnap Umaru Dikko in July 1984.
On the achievements of the present admini- stration after six months in office, Maj-Gen Babangida said that the most significant was the creation of an atmosphere that gave every Nigerian an opportunity to contribute to national development. He said that before the advent of the administration, there was a lot of tension in the country which was not conducive to national development.
President Babangida stated that govern- ment's policy of enhancing human rights and the dignity of the individual citizen had gone a long way to reduce tension, making people feel free to participate. The Nigerian in- formation media, he said, was also freer today than in most countries.
President Babangida stated that the press is expected to remain free as it was not the intention of government to interfere with its freedom. He urged the press to play its role in a constructive manner because most Nigerians tended to believe virtually everything they read in the press. President Babangida explained that by being constructive, he was not asking the media to be docile.
Budget implementation and oil prices
The disbursement of funds to Federal ministries and agencies will now be based on the rate at which they submit performance reports. Already, forms on which the ministries and agencies will make their performance reports have been designed.The Minister of National Planning, Dr Kalu I. Kalu, told newsmen in Lagos that the measure was to hasten the implementation of various programmes and projects contained in this year's budget. He said that modalities for monitoring the budget's implementation have been worked out by his Ministry.
On the possibility of working out con- tingency plans to save the 1986 budget in the event of a further decline in the prices of crude oil, the Minister said that it was difficult to ranks? plan for the vagaries of the volatile market. He stated, however, that the budget has a measure of control built into it, and that it will be implemented to the degree of available resources.
Dr Kalu, who said that the budget planners did not anticipate that the price of crude oil would fall as low as 16 dollars per barrel, maintained that it was too early to start thinking of revising the entire budget.
Rawlings statement is offensive
Nigeria's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has expressed surprise at a statement made by Ghanaian leader, Flt-Lt Jerry Rawlings, during the recent meeting of the Organisation of African Trade Union Unity in Accra, in which Rawlings accused Nigeria of being an agent of imperialism.The Nigerian government was amazed at such a statement from the leader of "a brother West African country with which Nigeria had enjoyed friendly relations and mutually beneficial cooperation," according to a report on Lagos radio.
Rawlings' attack is mischievous
The Punch has condemned the recent attack on Nigeria by the Ghanaian leader, Flt-Lt Jerry Rawlings, and said his assertion that Nigeria is an imperialist stooge is mischievous. The paper notes that Nigeria has always done everything possible to be on good terms with Ghana and advises Jerry Rawlings not to upset that harmonious understanding in the interest of the two countries.Population may reach 165m
The Nigerian population may reach 165 million by the year 2000, according to the leader of the Nigerian inter-ministerial consultative group on national population and development, Mr C. Mezue. He was cited by the Pan-African agency, on 20th February as saying that projections for the future estimated that by 2015, Nigeria's population could be as high as 280 million.New facilities for Anambra
The Anambra State government has signed two contracts worth 800,000 naira with a foreign firm for the provision of new facilities for the state television station. One of the contracts is for the construction and equipment of a commercial recording studio in Onitsha,, while the second was for the provision of a microwave link between the TV station and NTA.Nigeria, Israel to close
Israel and Nigeria are to resume diplomatic relations very soon, Israel Radio has said in a report which the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem refused to confirm or deny.The report coincided with the scheduled return to Jerusalem of the ministry's senior permanent official, Director-General David Kimche, from a tour of African countries which a well-informed source said had included a visit to Lagos.
A large number of African states, including Nigeria, broke off diplomatic relations with Israel at the time of the 1973 Arab-Israeli war. In the past few years Israel has been making strenuous diplomatic efforts to resume these links.
So far it has succeeded with Zaire in May 1982, Liberia in August 1983, and Ivory Coast last February 12. On that last occasion Israeli foreign minister Yitzhak Shamir expressed the certainty that other African states would follow.
In spite of the lack of diplomatic relations, Nigeria has been Israel's principal customer in Africa.
Nigeria was sympathetic to the cause of Egypt which was in the thick of the war and whose part of the land was later occupied by Israel.
Several people had since advocated for the resumption of diplomatic relations saying that Egypt which was deep in the war with Israel had forgotten about the war and resumed relations with Israel.
Meanwhile, a senior Nigerian government official has categorically denied the unofficial report that Nigeria was preparing to renew diplomatic relations with Israel.
CHAD
Nigerian minister taken ill in Libya
Nigerian Foreign Minister, Professor Bolaji Akinyemi, on a mediation trip to Libya over the conflict in Chad, was taken ill and had to be rushed to hospital. Professor Akinyemi, who arrived in Tripoli on February 21, therefore could not meet Col Gaddafi, the Libyan leader. His condition was reported to have improved but a member of his delegation was quoted as saying that the Minister might return to Libya later or be visited by a Libyan delegation in Lagos.Libyan attack is imminent
A special envoy of Hissein Habre has said in Sudan during a visit to deliver a message to General Siwar al-Dhahab that a Libyan attack was expected at any time. He said the Libyans had increased their military presence from between 5,000 and 6,000 soldiers to 10,000 and it was the hope of the Chad people that Sudan would play a part in solving the problem which was not between the Chad opposition and the legal government but between Chad and Libya.Meanwhile, the radio of the Transitional Government of National Unity (GUNT), Radio Bardai, on 23rd February, said the support expressed by President Abdou Diouf, the OAU Chairman for French intervention in Chad was unfair and unfortunate; it raised concern about the future of the OAU. "In fact, through Senegal, France is indirectly presiding over the future of the pan-African organ- isation," and it was not surprising that the N'djamena group and their foreign masters had called for the inclusion of the Chad issue on the agenda of the forthcoming OAU ministerial council meeting.
In remarks over N'djamena radio on 22nd February during his visit to the Chad capital the Senegalese Foreign Minister, Ibrahim Fall, said he believed the OAU must take concrete action to enable Chad to recover its unity, independence and the entirety of its territory and to achieve national reconciliation.
Decisions from Francophone summit
The Francophone summit in Paris, which ended on 19th February, adopted 28 decisions relating to economic, technical and cultural matters. The decisions included the creation, in three years time, of the International Francophone Television Agency, the provision of solar energy equipment for health and water supply projects in the Sahel region, and the establishment, with French financial assistance, of four agricultural training centres.The television agency would "enable the coverage of the entire French-speaking world" through the broadcasting of daily, 20 minute news programmes. President Mitterand told one of its correspondents that France wanted to respect its commitments to the Ndjamena government in Chad, adding that France was not at war with Libya..

BURKINA FASO
Communique on Congolese President's visits
A communique on President Denis Sassou Nguesso's visit to Burkina Faso from 20th to 22nd February has noted that the two Presi- dents expressed satisfaction with the gains of their two revolutions. President Thomas Sankara gave a brief report on the mobilisation of the Burkinabe people which has led to important socio-economic achievements in agri- culture, water control, housing and environmental protection.In reply, the President of the People's Republic of Congo congratulated the militants of Burkina Faso for their hard and resolute struggle against under-development. The strengthening of relations between the two countries was also examined. The two Presidents expressed satisfaction with the positive development and qualities of these relations..
They agreed to do all in their power to strengthen them even further and bring them to a level of development that is in conformity with the aspirations of their people. In this context, the two Heads of State noted the importance of the cooperation agreement between their governments and expressed (Liberian Petroleum Refining Corporation). satisfaction with the regular meetings of the joint cooperation commission existing between their two countries.
In the international sphere, the two Presidents expressed satisfaction with the similarity of their views on the problems they discussed and reasserted their mutual desire to strive for long-lasting peace in Africa and in the world. On the Chad issue, the two Presi- dents expressed their deep preoccupation with the increase in fighting in that country, and the risk of an international conflict.

Flexible exchange rate policy will continue
Mr John S. Addo, Governor of the Bank of Ghana, has said that the government will continue its flexible exchange rate policy supported with a package of economic measures to ensure increased production of goods and services in the country and also for export."Given the continued determination of the government to carry on with the reform effort, the understanding and support of the outside world, and above all, the willingness of the people of this country to give the economic measures a chance to succeed, we can all hopefully look forward to a brighter future of self-sustaining growth," the Governor assured Ghanaians.
Speaking on the justification for devaluation under the Economic Recovery Programme (ERP) in a lecture at the School of Administration, Legon, Mr Addo explained that the main objective of the PNDC's policy since 1983 has been to ensure that the value of the cedi responds to relative price developments in Ghana and in the economies of Ghana's principal trading partners.
Under this policy, he said, Ghana is aiming at achieving a favourable balance of payments by making sure that demand for and supply of foreign exchange are equal. In his assessment, devaluation, which is one of several policy measures instituted under the ERP, has contributed to a "positive response" in the economy, particularly the export sector. In the cocoa sector, for example, the Ghana Cocoa Board has been able to raise the producer price of cocoa several times, with the result that many cocoa farms destroyed by bush fires in 1983 have been rehabilitated and replanted.
According to Mr Addo, production of cocoa, which had fallen from 257,000 tonnes in 1980/81 to 158,000 tonnes in 1984/84 made a "turn-around" and increased to 165,000 tonnes in 1984/85. And a further increase in cocoa output is expected for 1985/86.
The exchange rate adjustment also improved the liquidity position of the mining industry, as was also recorded in the timber sector where exports rose from $14.7 million in 1983 to $30 million in 1985.
The Governor observed that before April 1983, when the ERP was launched, the country's economy was characterised by declining real output, widening budgetary deficits, erosion of purchasing power of money, unemployment, persistent balance of payment deficits, as well as the smuggling of commodities to neighbouring countries.
An over-valuation of the cedi was also a major problem facing Ghana with severe consequences on the economy especially the export sector. Referring to this state of affairs, Mr Addo noted that whereas demand for foreign exchange greatly exceeded the supply, the price of foreign exchange had been held down, for political reasons under a fixed exchange rate.
As an incentive to increased production therefore, Mr Addo said the PNDC decided on a flexible exchange rate as a means of providing remunerative producer prices for Ghana's principal foreign exchange earners like cocoa and other exportables.
Petitions to PNDC
More of the People's National Party (PNP) functionaries and other exiles continue to petition the PNDC Special Sub-Committee on AFRC Convicts for a review of their cases. According to the Co-ordinator, Office of Revenue Commissioners, Investigations and Tribunals, 15 more exiles have arrived in the country.Among them is Mr Ivan Addae-Mensah, General Secretary of the erstwhile PNP, who has been "cleared" and is now with the University of Nairobi, Kenya, where he is lecturing.
Mr K.N. Arkaah, former Member of Parliament for Efutu, has been referred to the National Investigations Committee (NIC).
Mr B.S.K. Kwakye, former Inspector General of Police (IGP) and Group Captain T.T. Kutin, Commissioner of Lands and Natural Resources in the Acheampong regime, have been appearing before the Sub-Committee on AFRC convicts.
It is also reported that Colonel S.K. Akwagyiram, former Commissioner for Agriculture, now in London, had also written to the Sub-Committee saying he "will be coming home soon," but did not indicate when.
The PNDC Special Sub-Committee was set up in October 1983 to consider and make recommendations to the government on the cases of AFRC convicts who had petitioned against their conviction and sentence.
Since then, the committee has handled more than 200 cases, including those of defunct political party functionaries and others whose activities were deemed inimical to the national economy.
American journalists write to Rawlings
Journalists in America have appealed to the PNDC to allow the Catholic Standard to resume publication in light of the government's stated commitment to an open press.In a letter to Flt-Lt Jerry Rawlings, the Committee to Protect Journalists, a US non-partisan organization of journalists working to protect the rights of colleagues worldwide expressed their distress over the suspension of the Catholic Standard's licence to publish.
On the other hand, they were encouraged to see the Free Press publishing again and its editor, Tommy Thompson, released from prison. Thus, the action (taken two months ago) with regard to the 47-year-old weekly by the Ghanaian Ministry of Information is very disheartening. The journalists noted that the Catholic Standard and the Free Press play an essential role in Ghanaian society, and cited the letters page and editorials of the Standard which serve as a forum for Ghanaians to express their concerns.
On account of the above the US journalists requested the reconsideration of the action taken against the newspaper, especially in light of the government's stated commitment to an open press, and allow it to resume publication. Copies of the letter, signed by the Committee's Executive Director Barbara Koeppel, were sent to the Ghana Ambassador to the United Nations, J.V. Gbeho, and the following organisations: New African, Talking Drums, West Africa, Africa, The International Commission of Jurists, The Newspaper Guild, World Press Freedom Committee, Freedom House, The Society of Professional the Journalists, American Newspaper Publishers Association, Congressional Friends of Human Rights Monitors, International Federation of Journalists, International Press Institute, Index on Censorship, International PEN, Amnesty International (Dutch Section), Centre for Investigative Journalism (Canada).
Libyan invitation to form International People's Army
An advertiser's announcement in the Ghanaian Times of February 2, 1986, has revealed the Libyan formation of an International People's Front aimed at struggling for the toppling of all types of dictatorial governments.The announcement which proclaims Libya as the first Jamahiriya heralding the next international revolution appealed to 'strugglers, oppressed and Muslims worldwide to unite and open up the gates for a new society, one of freedom, happiness and prosperity.
It called for contributions in establishing and developing this front to reinforce the struggle of socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya against imperialism, US aggression and provocations.
Invitations were subsequently issued in the advertisement to foreigners to join the Libyans to form an international people's army. Such people classified in the advertisement as 'freedom-fighters and strugglers' would be treated as officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers and would have the same rights and duties as the Libyan Arab.
Is Nigeria still Britain's Colony?
A Black American Moslem preacher, Louis Farrakhan, has said that the forces of oppression, racism and imperialism will never portray any strong forces of liberation in their true perspective. What they would rather do is to let the oppressed and exploited people believe that those who are championing the cause of liberation are rather the evil ones. He said the 'wicked' Western media should not determine for the oppressed people who their true liberators are in the liberation struggle.Preacher Farrakhan therefore cautioned all people of Black descent and other oppressed people to be alert and use their own judgement to determine who are the true leaders in the liberation struggle.
Minister Farrakhan, who was on a week’s visit to Ghana, was delivering a lecture at the Ghana Institute of Journalism in Accra. He recounted his experience in Nigeria where he was stopped from speaking at a public lecture and recalled that the sad experience prompted him to ask if Nigeria was still a colony of Britain or a step-child of American imperialism.
He, therefore, cautioned that if Ghana is to be saved "our salvation will come from our own loins" He was accompanied by his wife, Khadijal Farrakhan, some members of his family and other members of the group.
Financial agreement with the EEC
Ghana and the European Economic Community have signed an agreement under which Ghana will be receiving non-payable grants to the tune of 86m European Currency Units, about 7,000m cedis from the European Development Fund. The agreement, which is the third phase of the EEC package under the Lome Convention, covers a five-year period; 80% of the grants will be devoted to rural areas and transport infrastructure sectors.The Secretary for Finance and Economic Planning, Dr Kwesi Botchwey, signed for Ghana. He said the projects chosen by the EEC coincide with Ghana's own priority areas for rehabilitation and development. He hoped relations between Ghana and the EEC would remain harmonious and projects would be successfully implemented.
Negotiations for World Bank loan
A five-member government delegation led by Dr Francis Acquah, Secretary for Industries, Science and Technology, is in Washington, USA, to negotiate for World Bank loan for the restructuring of the industrial sector.He told newsmen that the loan which is an International Development Association (IDA) credit facility is necessary to supply the foreign exchange required to undertake the restructuring exercise in that sector. Already he said the World Bank has completed a year's study in the industrial sector and the loan is needed to implement changes suggested by them.
Dr Acquah explained that the credit facility has three components made up of the Industrial Sector Adjustment Credit (ISAC) under which rehabilitation work on selected industries will be undertaken.
There will also be an import programme for the importation of basic raw materials and spare parts for the industries as well as supplement the government's import programme.
