Japanese Company Kobe Steel Due To Falsification Of Product loses quality Seal for copper products.

Image
Kobe Steel is losing Japan's quality seal for copper products, following its data falsification scandal. Kobe said the government-backed Japan Industrial certification was revoked owing to "improper quality management" at a factory outside of Tokyo. As a result, the quality of copper products made at its plant in Hatano will no longer be certified by Japan. The decision could further hurt Japan's third-largest steelmaker as its clients have been switching to its competitors. Shares in Kobe Steel fell 1.5% after it said it would lose its Japanese Industrial Standards certificate. According to the Reuters news agency, the firm believes there could be four new cases of data falsification. But Kobe Steel has confirmed the safety of products delivered to nearly half of the 525 clients which had received products affected by the falsified data. Car, plane and train makers including Boeing, Toyota and Nissan have been striving to ensure the safety of their own product...

UN Says Nigeria Government Lied, Insists Three Borno Local Government Areas Are Cut Off By Boko Haram Boko Haram are alleged to be occupying atleast three local government areas in Nigeria, the United Nations has said. The claim is coming weeks after the military command in northeast Nigeria announced that no part of Borno state was under the control of the deadly group. But the UN said despite efforts by the military, some locations in Borno state, including three whole local government areas, remained inaccessible to aid workers as a result of the threat posed by the Boko Haram sect. The report was issued by the United Nations’ Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian (OCHA). It said Boko Haram hostilities that slowed down due to the rainy season might increase in the coming months. “Insecurity, presence of mines, improvised explosive devices, and unexploded ordinances had continued to slow down the response of humanitarian agencies in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states” s...
