Buhari speaks on fuel scarcity.

Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday said he regretted the lingering fuel scarcity currently being experienced in the country. He said he has directed relevant regulators to step up “surveillance and bring an end to hoarding and price inflation by marketers.” In spite of being an oil producing country, Nigeria has been battling fuel scarcity in the last few weeks leading to the holiday season, a period that involves increased vehicular movements and a consequent uptick in demand for petrol. “The fuel scarcity being experienced nationwide is regrettable,” Buhari, who is also Nigeria’s oil minister, tweeted on Sunday. “I sympathize with all Nigerians, on having to endure needless fuel queues. I’m being regularly briefed, especially on the NNPC’s interventions to ensure that there is enough petrol available during this period and beyond,” he added. The president has been under fire since the latest scarcity began. Last week, opposition governor Ayodele Fayos...

AI Self-Service: Smile for Your Supper.

Cali Group and NEC on Tuesday announced a pilot program using kiosks equipped with facial recognition software and artificial intelligence to ease the ordering process for regular customers at the Pasadena, California, location of its international CaliBurger restaurant chain.
