Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil will reject any fresh contract offers from Arsenal according to the latest reports, even though manager Arsene Wenger is set to remain in charge for another two years. The future of Sanchez and Ozil has been the subject of intense speculation in recent months, with the duo failing to accept offers of fresh deals from Arsenal as they prepare to enter the final year of their current contracts. Ozil had suggested that he would not make a decision on his Arsenal future until manager Arsene Wenger resolved whether he would be staying at the club, with Sanchez equally uncertain of his own plans amid strong interest from Bayern Munich. Now The Times are reporting that the star duo will not sign new deals with Arsenal, even though the club will confirm that Wenger has signed a new two year contract to remain as Gunners manager. The report claims Ozil will wind down the final year of his contract before sealing a free transfer next summer, with San

A scam text message has been doing the rounds stating that WhatsApp is about to start charging people to use the service. It is not true. The text message invites people to click on a link and pay 99p for a lifetime subscription to the service because their current subscription has come to an end. However, it is a scam and anyone who receives it is urged to delete it immediately, do not click in the link and certainly don’t hand over your bank details. If you have clicked the link then you’re probably wise to run antivirus software. When it was launched, WhatsApp did charge 99p after the first year but that was later scrapped. It was not immediately clear where the scammers had got people’s telephone numbers from.

The Acting President Yemi Osinbajo on Tuesday inaugurated the Presidential Industrial Policy and Competitiveness Advisory Council at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. He charged the Council to develop policies that would make the Nigerian economy more competitive. The industrial council was set up to boost partnership between the government and the private sector. The Federal Executive Council gave the approval for the establishment of the council during its meeting held on March 15. Osinbajo said Nigeria would not industrialize without the collaboration of the public and private sectors. He said: “The public sector, by itself, cannot do business and simply cannot even deliver on any industrialization effort. “Government does not make the best businessmen and women.” Members of the Council from the Private Sector include the Chairman of Nigerian Breweries and PZ Cussons, Kola Jamodu; Chairman of BUA Group, Abdulsamad Rabi and Chairman of IVM Innoson Group of Companies Li

The Head, Media and Information, JAMB, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, made the clarification in a statement in Lagos. He said the JAMB committee responsible for the determination of cut-off marks is yet to meet on the matter.

Benjamin said results of the just concluded 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) had since been released, with few others still being previewed. ”We want to appeal to Nigerians to understand that such candidates whose results

How can Nigeria’s endemic power problem be resolved? By increased investment in renewable energy, gas pipelines, power plants and transmission network, among others, says Green Elec President Marcel Hochet, in this interview with AKINOLA AJIBADE. He also speaks on the plans by five states to build solar-powered mini-grids. H ow  can Nigeria tackle the perennial problems of shortage of gas and poor power supply? To address the problems, stakeholders including the Federal Government must try and invest in key infrastructure such as gas pipelines, equipment used in the distribution, generation and transmission of electricity, and other facilities. Of note is the use of obsolete equipment such as transformers, feeders, sub-stations and others, that need to be replaced with new ones by power distribution companies (DisCos) to adequately supply power to the consumers. Since the operators are not having enough money to play around with, they need to bring in more investors into the

 Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil are yet to sign new deals Arsenal are preparing fresh contract offers to cement Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil as the highest paid players in their history following Saturday’s FA Cup final victory against Chelsea. Although Tuesday’s board meeting will be shaped by agreeing the future of manager Arsene Wenger and the club's wider structure, the other big issue is how to approach negotiations with a large group of players who are entering either the last 12 months or two years of their contracts. Wenger has told the board that he thinks he can win the Premier League if this group stays together and is supplemented by no more than two or three key additions. Ozil is understood already to have been offered more than £250,000 a week and the club are ready to go to around £280,000 for both him and Sanchez. There has been some frustration that the Ozil deal was not completed last year. Both Ozil and Sanchez then appeared particularly badly affec
