Measurement of Efficiency Level in Nigerian Seaport after Reform Policy Imple...IOSR Journals
Â
This paper focuses on the impact of reforms on port performance using Onne and Rivers ports as a reference point. It analyses the pre and post reform eras of the ports in terms of their performance. The reforms took effect from 1996 after the Federal Government of Nigeria concessioned the ports to private investors. Parameters such as Ship traffic, Cargo throughput, Ship turn round time, Berth Occupancy and personnel were used as variables for the assessment. Secondary Data were collected from the Nigerian Ports Authority and Integrated Logistic Services Nigeria (Intels) for the period 2001 to 2010 and analyzed using Data Envelopment Analysis to assess the efficiency of the port. Analysis revealed a continuous improvement in the overall efficiency of both Ports Since 2006 when the new measure was introduced. Average Ship turn-around time improved in the ports due to modern and fast cargo handling equipment and more cargo handling space which were provided. There is an increase in Ship traffic calling at the ports, resulting in increased cargo throughput and berth occupancy rate at ports of Onne and Rivers. The reform also led to more private investment in the portsâ existing and new facilities and the introduction of a World Class service in port operation. This study concludes that the Ports of Onne and Rivers are performing better under the reform programme of the Federal Government of Nigeria. It finally recommends the urgent need for a regulator to appraise the performance of the reform programme from time to time as provided by the agreement and for the full adoption and utilization of management information system (MIS) to aid performance efficiency.

Identity Crisis: Ethnicity and Conflict in Myanmar
Ethnicity and conflict are tightly linked in Myanmar, as communal groups take up arms to press grievances for which they have found no other recourse. The problem calls for dialogue and deep reform, but meanwhile authorities can take smaller steps to indicate their positive intent.

DEFENDING TOMORROW
The climate crisis and threats against land and environmental defenders
The climate crisis is arguably the greatest global and existential threat we face. As it escalates, it serves to exacerbate many of the other serious problems in our world today â from economic inequality to racial injustice and the spread of zoonotic diseases.
For years, land and environmental defenders have been the first line of defence against the causes and impacts of climate breakdown. Time after time, they have challenged those companies operating recklessly, rampaging unhampered through forests, skies, wetlands, oceans and biodiversity hotspots.

Myanmar Amber traps scientists in ethical dilemma over funding warMYO AUNG Myanmar
Â
Myanmar is a major producer of amber, a fossilized tree resin. Amber is valued for jewelry, and also serves as a sort of time capsule that provides scientific clues to prehistoric life with fossilized inclusions such as insects, birds and dinosaur footprints.
Meanwhile, the main amber-mining areas in the country are located in an internal conflict zone where an ethnic minority is fighting against the national armed forces, and the amber also comes with problems of human rights violations and smuggling.

https://aappb.org/background/about-aapp/
The Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (Burma), otherwise known as AAPP, is a human rights organization based in Mae Sot, Thailand and Rangoon, Burma. AAPP advocates for the release of all remaining political prisoners in Burma and for the improvement of their quality of life during and after incarceration. AAPP has developed rehabilitation and assistance programs for those political activists who have been released while continuing to document the ongoing imprisonment of political activists in Burma.
As long as political prisoners exist inside Burma, Burma will not be free. They represent the struggle for democracy, human rights, equality and freedom for the people of Burma. This makes the immediate and unconditional release of all political prisoners an integral part of Burmaâs drive for national reconciliation.

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
Â
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83Ã10-07 at 9.04Ã10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Â
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

23. Development of
International Sea Port
â There are 9 ports in Myanmar. However, the
current status of infrastructure, 90% of
export and import activities are relied only
on Yangon Port.
â Due to the lower water level, current Yangon
Port does not have the capacity for the
Megaships to dock. Yangon Port is also
closely connected with the urban area.
Therefore, the expansion of the port area is
rather difficult.
â New International Yangon Sea Port will be
developed where Megaships can easily
access (Elephant Point) and deep water
level.

Investment Opportunities in Yangon New City Project
Overview
A long- stalled Yangon new city development project will be carried out in collaboration
with the World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF), International Finance Cooperation
(IFC) and foreign loans. The project is estimated to take up 30,000 acres of land to the west of
the Yangon River. It aims to provide two million jobs, to help cater to Yangonâs growing
population, and alleviate key issues, such as employment and housing.
On 31 March 2018, the Yangon regional government launched the New Yangon
Development Company Limited (NYDC) to be incorporated under the Special Companies Act
and 100 percent owned by the regional government. The NYDC has invited local and foreign
entrepreneurs as third parties to invest in the new city project. The development of the new city
will be primarily based on a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, with businesses
contributing in equity investments. According to U Thein Wai, Vice Chairman and CEO of
NYDC, equity investors take on full risks for their investment. If investment succeeds, equity
investors enjoy higher return. Similar logic applies to a failed investment, and then equity
investors may not recover their capital. The Yangon region government has contributed
Ks 10 billion into NYDCâs fund to start implementing the project.
The Yangon region government will strive to provide a one-stop service to cut red tape in
office procedure. However, NYDC will take responsibility for the project on behalf of the
Yangon region government. The implementation of Phase 1 includes core and social
infrastructure projects, which aims to be completed by 2020. According to Mr. Serge Pun, Vice
Chairman of NYDC, 1,500 square kilometers on the west side of Yangon River will be
developed to build five townships, two bridges, a 26 km-long arterial road, 10 square kilometers
of industrial zone, electric power generation factory and facilities, and water treatment plants.
Infrastructure works related to Phase 1 of the New Yangon City project are expected to exceed
US$ 1.5 billion.
Foreign investors interested in the New Yangon City project from China, South Korea
and ASEAN have been on the rise. U Phyo Min Thein, Chief Minister of Yangon region
government, stated that the project planners aspire to rival the likes of Shenzhen, South Koreaâs
Incheon and Malaysiaâs Iskandar. In order to facilitate the project, there have already been
proposals to construct two bridges, which will provide access to the new city, as well as link the
city to the main road connecting to the rest of Yangon.
NYDC Tender Process
For the tender process, the NYDC has adopted the global model of the Swiss Challenge
to allow fair competition, efficiency and transparency. The tender process for the New Yangon
City Development project is divided into four steps: (1) selection process, a company that is
qualified and competent to undertake a certain scope of work will be selected; (2) negotiation
process, a negotiation will take place until a mutually acceptable Pre-Project Document (PPD) is
69. Business Information Centre (BIC), Royal Thai Embassy, Yangon. | Phone: +951 226721 Ext 313, 314,
Email: thaibizmyanmar@gmail.com, Website: www.thaibizmyanmar.com
obtained upon a provisional agreement; (3) publicize process, the PPD will be made public to
allow any qualified party to challenge the agreement with better terms on the basis that it strictly
adheres to the terms and conditions of the tender assessment criteria; (4) counter bids process,
allows a second party challenge with a lower bid, the first party will be allowed to match the
offer or forego, in which case the second party will be awarded with the contract.
On 2 May 2018, the NYDC kick-started stage 1 of the NYDC Challenge. The NYDC
signed a framework agreement with Hong Kong-listed China Communications Construction
Company (CCCC) to draft and map out a proposal for infrastructure projects related to Phase 1
of the Yangon New City development. The framework agreement marks the first stage of the
NYDC Challenge Model where a company that is qualified and competent to undertake the first
phase of the development is selected to submit a set of Pre-Project Documents (PPD), which
includes technical specifications, financial proposal and business model for the NYDCâs review.
Once the PPD are approved by NYDC, they will become public to allow any qualified party to
challenge the agreement with better terms. Therefore, the
The first phase of development will include the construction of five village townships,
two bridges, 26 kilometer of artery road, 10 square kilometers of industrial estate, power plant,
transmission and distribution facilities as well as water fresh water supply and wastewater
treatment plants.
Opportunities for Investment
The NYDC has invited third parties â local and foreign entrepreneurs â to invest in the
urban city extension project with new satellite townships. U Phyo Min Thein, Chief Minister of
Yangon region government described at the launch event of the NYDC at Lotte Hotel, Yangon,
that the investment can facilitate infrastructure development through PPP, and that the private
sector plays a significant role in providing financial assistance to the project. In the meantime,
the regional government has also put in efforts to attract more foreign direct investment (FDI) by
helping to resolve legal issues related to land use that are commonly faced by investors in
infrastructure. Thus, there is potential for foreign firms that have expertise, experience, and
financial capabilities, to invest in construction, power supply, industrial estate development, real
estate development, and water treatment system.

YANGONâA Chinese state-owned company, which has signed a framework agreement
with the Yangon government to draw up a proposal for the infrastructure projects of the
New Yangon City project across the Yangon River expected to be twice the size of
Singapore, has been embroiled in a number of controversies for its involvement in
alleged fraud, corruption and bribery in many other countries where it implemented
similar development projects.
The 20,000-acre-wide New Yangon City, one of the projects of Chinaâs ambitious Belt
and Road Initiative (BRI), was launched by the Yangon regional government in March
last year via the government-owned New Yangon Development Company (NYDC). The
investment for the ï¬rst phase of the project, mostly infrastructure projects, is $1.5
billion.
NYDC signed a framework agreement with China Communications Construction
Company (CCCC) in April last year for nine initial infrastructure projects in the ï¬rst
phase that includes two bridges, roads, power plants, water and wastewater treatment
plants and a 10-square-kilometer industrial estate expected to generate 2 million jobs.
However, it turns out that the Hong Kong-listed China-owned company has been
accused of corruption and bribery in at least 10 countriesâfrom the Philippines to
Bangladesh to Tanzaniaâin Asia and Africa for development deals in those areas,
according to international media reports.
Nearly a month after its formation, the NYDC announced that it signed the contract with
CCCC without calling for tender.
âNYDC has chosen CCCC to sign a framework agreement because the company was
considered to be the most qualiï¬ed.â Daw Myat Hsu Hlaing, NYDCâs development and
communication associate, told The Irrawaddy.
However, she did not answer questions on the other competitors during that time. She
referred to the NYDC CEO Serge Punâs explanation on his blog on the NYDC website.
In the blog post, Serge Pun explained that NYDC believes CCCC has the required
capability and suï¬cient experience in planning, designing, ï¬nancing, constructing and
regional developments similar to the project. He also gave some examples of CCCC
projects, including the bridge that links Hong Kong to Macau and the Beijing-Shanghai
high-speed railway.

He wrote, âCCCC comes with a depth of experience.â
âCCC shareholders include multiple international institutional investors. CCCC comes
with ï¬nancial clout,â he wrote.
He questioned, âWhy would we not want to work with one of the largest and more
experienced companies in the global infrastructure industry space?â
However, word of controversies surrounding the Chinese company has given rise to
speculation among people in Myanmar that the New Yangon City might face the same
fate as CCCC-operated development projects in other countries.
China Communications Construction Company
NYDC signed a framework agreement with CCCC on April 30, 2018 at Mingalar Hall at
the Yangon regional government oï¬ce. Among the attendees were Yangon Chief
Minister Phyo Min Thein, Chinese Ambassador for Myanmar Hong Liang, CCCC
President Chen Fenjian and CCCCâs subsidiary China Harbor Engineering Company
(CHEC) President Tang Qiaoliang.
At the ceremony, after talking about his companyâs achievements in the ï¬elds of
development and operation, Mr. Chen Fenjian said the new city across the river was of
âgreat signiï¬canceâ as it could rapidly and eï¬ectively expand urban space and drive
seaward development. He said the group would integrate the highest-quality resources
and closely cooperate with Myanmar to jointly build a âsafe, wise and greenâ Yangon
New City and continue to make new contributions to the economic and social
development of Myanmar.
U Phyo Min Thein said Yangon New City would create a large number of jobs, deepen
the friendship between China and Myanmar, and hoped that CCCC and NYDC could
continue to working together to further improve infrastructure in Yangon and to beneï¬t
local people.
Based in Beijing, CCCC is one of the worldâs largest companies, focused on
transportation infrastructure projects â supported in diï¬erent business segments by
over 60 subsidiaries such as China Road and Bridge Corporation, China Harbour
Engineering and John Holland Group. According to China Daily, CCCC has set up more
than 240 branches, research institutes and service hubs in 118 countries and regions.
The group has signed overseas contracts worth $170 billion over the past ï¬ve years.
However, CCCC and its subsidiaries have been leaving a trail of controversy in the
Philippines, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Thailand, Canada, Australia and Kenya.
The company was sanctioned by the World Bank from January 2009 until January 2017
due to fraudulent bidding practices under Phase 1 of the Philippines National Roads
Improvement and Management Project.

In Sri Lanka, CCCCâs $1-billion Colombo Port City project has faced backlash from locals
due to the risk of serious negative impacts on the environment and livelihoods.
The project, which is located on 269 hectares of land reclaimed from the ocean is
being implemented by CCCC since 2014. The Sri Lankan government guaranteed that
it wouldnât have any negative environmental impacts and countered local concerns
about erosion, despite objections from environmentalists who warned the project
would have a âsevere impactâ on the coastline, causing erosion and aï¬ecting marine
biodiversity, ï¬shery stocks, and breeding sites. CCCC drafted nearly 80 environmental
impact and mitigating requirements in its framework.
Despite oï¬cials claiming they are following the guidelines, a Bloomberg report found
major environmental damage along a 280-kilometer stretch of coastline north and
south of the capital Colombo and 80,000 households that make a living from the sea
aï¬ected. The All Ceylon Fisher Folk Trade Union revealed a 20 percent decline in
catch.
Sri Lankaâs current prime minister Ranil Wickremesinghe later disclosed to the media
that an investigation was being carried out into an $8.1-million fund transfer to
opposition leader Rajapaksaâs staï¬ in 2018 before the elections when he was running
for a third term. The prime minister said the fund included a payment from CCCC via an
account with the Standard Chartered Bank.
Moreover, Australia accused CCCC of careless supervision in the construction of a
childrenâs hospital in 2016 which was being built by CCCC subsidiary John Holland. The
report revealed the discovery of white asbestos in the roof panels at the new Perth
Childrenâs Hospital and found failures in both the procurement process and the
contract management process. The Australia construction union asked the government
to consider a temporary ban on the import of building material from China. However,
CCCC denied responsibility for the failures.

In 2014, two Tanzanian oï¬cials were charged with fraud for awarding a bloated
contract of more than $500 million to CCCC to expand the main port in the countryâs
capital city.
Kenya is another country facing the threat of falling into a BRI debt trap with China.
Despite Beijingâs denials, a key port in Mombasa has been at risk of being seized by
China since last year. There were serious allegations of mistreatment of railway workers
in 2018 by the China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) a subsidiary of the CCCC.
Construction of the major railway was shut down after hundreds of workers went on
strike. Moreover, the leg of the railway line running northeast from the capital was also
a subject of local tension and anger due to the projectâs employment of Chinese
workers on the construction site instead of the jobs being given to locals.
Last year, the Canadian government ordered CCCC not to implement a proposed
investment project in order to protect national security.
In the same year, Bangladesh blacklisted China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC)
a subsidiary of CCCC for trying to bribe a secretary. The Chinese government had
selected CHEC to construct the Dhaka-Sylhet highway after an MoU was signed
between the governments in 2016 following a visit by Presidentâs Xi. A Bangladeshi
ï¬nance minister told the media that the company granted the contract for the
expansion of the highway had attempted to bribe another government oï¬cial. Back in
2010, the former Bangladeshi prime ministerâs son, Arafat Rahman, was jailed and ï¬ned
$1.6 million for accepting bribes from CHEC, for the Chittagong Port project bid.
Rahman was accused of receiving over $2.09 million from CHEC in three installments,
routed through U.S. institutions, in the spring and summer of 2005.
The list of controversies connected with the company continues to grow longer as
Malaysia opens an investigation into whether CCCC overcharged for a railroad linking
Kuala Lumpur with Malaysiaâs east coast and about funds drawn to pay debts by the

government development fund under the former prime minister Najib Razak who is
currently facing trial on corruption charges. In October last year, Malaysiaâs new
government canceled the project agreement out of debt trap fears. CCCC oï¬ered to
reduce the project cost to RM 40 billion ($9.8 million) from RM 70 billion ($17.2 million),
however the project is still in limbo.
In January, Thai media reported backlash against CCCC from the local people after the
company failed to take into account the potential social and environmental impacts of
dredging the Mekong River for commercial shipping.
Neither CCCCâs Public Relations Division nor its Overseas Business Division replied to
The Irrawaddyâs requests for comments on Friday about public concern over whether
New Yangon City would face the same fate due to the companyâs controversial
background.
Public concerns
Given the long list of controversies connected with CCCC, itâs no wonder New Yangon
City is attracting mounting public concern and criticism. Critics have pointed out that
the project poses the risk of facing the same fate as those other countries if the
government doesnât consider the accountability of developer, the actual cost, the
environmental impact, beneï¬t-sharing and other social impacts.
Daw Sandar Min is a Yangon regional parliament lawmaker who represents Seikkyi
Township, which is located within the project area of New Yangon City. She said the
Yangon government should have known CCCCâs controversial background before
agreeing to work on the project, and that lawmakers will soon raise questions about
the Chinese company in Parliament.
âGiven the information we received so far, we must scrutinize CCCCâs background very
carefully,â she said.

RWR, a Washington-based advisory group tracking and analyzing Chinaâs global
business transactions, has identiï¬ed a number of transactions by CCCC and its
subsidiaries around the world that have introduced risk factors for their partners and
customers. These have included public allegations of corruption and bribery, opaque
public business dealings and complaints about the quality of the work.
According to Andrew Davenport, Chief Operating Oï¬cer of RWR, Chinese state-owned
enterprises have a track record, in many cases, of choosing deals and putting forward
bids based on calculations of their strategic value to Beijing, rather than their
commercial value to the companyâs bottom line and/or shareholders.
âMeanwhile, the company (CCCC) has been accused of corruption and bribery in
various other countries, including, for example, Bangladesh,â he told The Irrawaddy.
He added, âIf CCCC is willing to oï¬er, by signiï¬cant margins, the most generous terms
available to Myanmar on this project, government oï¬cials and citizens should ask
themselves why they are doing this?â
Davenport also warned that regardless of whether Myanmar can aï¬ord what is being
oï¬ered or is making a sensible economic decision to spend this much money on a new
city, generous, possibly ânon-marketâ terms can create dependencies and deliver a
degree of control or inï¬uence.
The framework agreement between NYDC and CCCC marks the ï¬rst stage of the
NYDC Challenge Model where a company that is qualiï¬ed and competent to undertake
the ï¬rst phase of the development is selected to submit a set of Pre-Project Documents
(PPD) which includes technical speciï¬cations, ï¬nancial proposals and business models
for NYDCâs review.

ï¬eeing to Yangon as the storm killed nearly 140,000 people and battered millions of
homes.
But a decade on he was forced from his home again last December, this time by men
wielding sledgehammers under orders from authorities to clear the shanty town where
he lived.
The demolition of Nyaung village in Hlaing Thar Yar, an industrial zone in northwest
Yangon, was the third last year, part of a government plan to relocate 440,000 slum
dwellers in the city where 30 percent live in informal settlements.
Since the easing of political and economic restrictions began in 2011, demand for
industrial land has surged â while natural disasters and a manufacturing boom in
Yangon and Mandalay have spurred migration to these cities.
Than Chaung and other residents said they were hardly consulted or compensated for
losing their homes, which they said they built on land they bought from another villager.

132. 3/8/2019 Nowhere to Call Home: Yangon Slum Dwellers Face Eviction Threat

Last year, a court ruled that their claim was not valid because the land belonged to a
factory.
âThey said we have to move because this is not our land. But we paid money for it,â
said Than Chaung, showing a photograph of a handwritten note that he said was a
receipt for the purchase.
âWe have lived here for many years. We cannot aï¬ord to go anywhere else.â
With growing migration from rural areas, Yangonâs population is forecast by the United
Nations to nearly double to more than 11 million by 2040, placing an enormous strain on
resources.
Many migrants come in search of jobs in factories and end up in the dozens of shanty
towns built in recent years.
Authorities said residents are encroaching on private land, and relocation will improve
the lives of the tens of thousands living in shanty towns that lack electricity, running
water and sewage systems, and that are prone to ï¬ooding.
But human rights groups and the U.N.âs settlements agency, UN-Habitat, warned forced
resettlement could make people poorer.
âThere is a history of government-orchestrated forced resettlement in Myanmar and in
Yangon in particular, to make way for urban development,â UN-Habitat said in a report
last year.
âDevelopment-induced forced displacement and resettlement is increasing, uprooting
and impoverishing people and undermining basic human rights.â
A spokesman for Yangon City Development Committee (YCDC) did not respond to e-
mails and calls seeking comment.
âProblematicâ
As Asian cities expand quickly, governments have struggled to provide suï¬cient
aï¬ordable housing as construction of luxury apartments and glitzy malls booms.

From Mumbai to Manila, the urban poor settle under bridges, along creeks and railway
tracks, and beside landï¬lls, under threat of forced evictions by authorities keen to
modernize the cities and build more oï¬ces and malls.
In Myanmarâs commercial capital, Yangon, few informal settlements remain within the
city, in contrast to other cities in the region, said Eben Forbes, an independent
researcher.
âThe historical practice has been to clear squatters from central Yangon and relocate
them to new towns at the periphery,â Forbes told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
âThis practice is problematic due to the trauma that eviction causes, the governmentâs
inability to extend basic urban services to the peripheral areas, and potential political
consequences.â
YCDC estimated the city will need more than 1.2 million housing units by 2040 for
migrants and slum dwellers.
Yangon Chief Minister Phyo Min Thein had pledged to âsolve the squatter problemâ
before the end of his term in 2020.
Last month he said about 130,000 households had been issued âsmart cards,â and
would be prioritized for relocation.
âThere are problems, and we will take time and eï¬ort to solve them,â he was quoted as
saying in the Myanmar Times.
Challenges
Hlaing Thar Yar, with nearly half a million residents, is the cityâs largest industrial zone,
crammed with export units of manufacturers of garments, car parts and processed
foods.
Authorities have said slum residents will be resettled in two townships more than an
hourâs drive from central Yangon. Construction was to be completed by 2020, with easy
access to jobs, schools, hospitals and public transport.
But UN-Habitat, in its report, advised against forced resettlement and encouraged in-
situ upgrades instead.

From a total 423 informal settlements it mapped in Yangon, about 130 were suitable for
upgrading, while the rest were in hazardous areas such as river banks and railway
tracks, it said.
But authorities were âskeptical about in-situ incremental upgrading and prefer
resettlement at this time,â it added.
In Nyaung village, where about 600 families live, more than a dozen families, including
Than Chaungâs, spent about two weeks on the streets after their homes were
demolished in December.
Then they knocked down the metal barricades placed around the rubble and tried to
rebuild their homes, Than Chaung said.
His neighbor, Kyaw Su, who moved to the area nearly 20 years ago in search of work,
was afraid her home will be next.
She has been selling fried snacks on the street since the demolition, too afraid to go to
her job in a garment factory.
âWhat if they come back and knock down my house? Living like this, we can never be
sure there wonât be more evictions,â she said.
