ABIDJAN TO HOST 45TH CAF GENERAL ASSEMBLY ON JULY 13

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has settled on Cote D’Ivoire as the host country for the 45th CAF General Assembly.

Facebook and Instagram to restrict news access in Canada

International, Science & Technology

Meta has said it will begin to restrict news on its platforms to Canadian consumers after parliament passed a controversial online news bill. The bill forces big platforms to compensate news publishers for content posted on their sites. Meta and Google have both already been testing limiting access to news to some Canadians. In 2021, Australian users were blocked from sharing or viewing news on Facebook in response to a similar law. Canada’s Online News Act, which cleared the senate on Thursday, lays out rules requiring platforms like Meta and Google to negotiate commercial deals and pay news organisations for their content. Meta has called the law “fundamentally flawed legislation that ignores the realities of how our platforms work”. On Thursday, it said news availabili...

Strive to enter the military with degree or professional certificates, MP urges youth

Ghana News

A Minister of State at the Office of the President, Dr Freda Prempeh, has urged the youth desiring to pursue a life career in the military and other security services to first obtain degrees or related professional certificates. She said the need for them to remain patient and concentrate on their studies as a matter of priority because, “it is better to wait and obtain professional certificates before you apply than to join the forces without certificate.” This, according to her, would delay one’s promotion and thus make one an ordinary soldier. “The military is always ready for you, so prepare yourself well,” Dr Prempeh advised. Dr Prempeh, also the Member of Parliament (MP) for Tano North Constituency and a Member of the Interior Committee of Parliamen...
