Manchester United transfers: Harry Kane flattered by interest from Louis van Gaal 

Man Utd manager Louis van Gaal has placed Tottenham striker Harry Kane on his wanted list this summer

 
 

Kane admits he's flattered by United's interest in him

Harry Kane has revealed he’s flattered by interest from Manchester United - but has told Louis van Gaal that he’s already at a big club in Tottenham.
The England striker is on Van Gaal’s list of targets this summer as the Dutchman looks to recruit a world class goal-scorer.
United are considering an initial bid of £40m for Kane - but executive vice chairman Ed Woodward knows he faces a battle to convince Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy to sell.
And 21-year-old Kane - who scored 32 goals last season - also claims he has no plans to leave White Hart Lane, despite United’s pursuit.

Van Gaal wants to pair Kane with Wayne Rooney in United's attack

“I am happy at Spurs and I look forward to the future with Spurs,” he said. “I have seen there is interest but that’s all I know.
“It is flattering for other clubs to maybe be interested.
“Tottenham are one of the big clubs. That is the way people have to see it.
“I am at a big club.”

Woodward is keen to test Tottenham's resolve over Kane

United do not expect Kane to agitate for a transfer after signing a new five-and-a-half-year contract in February.

CCB Refuses To Release Content Of Buhari's Assets

The Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) rejected the request to make public the content of Muhamadu Buhari’s and Yemi Osinbajo’s assets declarations. 


Recall that both APC politicians vowed to publicly declare their assets if elected. After the forms were submitted to the Bureau, Nigerians were wondering why the details had not been provided openly and urged Buhari to fulfill his promise. His office said the declarations content would be made available after the CCB authenticated claims in the declaration forms.
The group identified as Stop Impunity Nigeria on June 1 requested the copies of both politicians’ forms.
However, in its June 10 response, the Bureau stated that the move was not possible due to limitations in federal laws covering such release, Premium Times reports with reference to the reply signed on behalf of the CCB chairman. The explanation goes that there is no prescribed law by the National Assembly authorizing the release of such information to the public.
The Bureau conceded the right by Nigerians under section 1(1) 3 and 4 of the FOIA 2011, to “access or request information, whether written or not in written form, in the custody of any public agency.”
Moreover, according to the same Act, any request considered “invasion of personal privacy” can be declined.
“Assets declarations by public officers contain such personal information, which falls within the exemptions to the disclosure of information in the FOIA.”
The Bureau is authorized to “make assets declarations of public officers available for inspection by any citizen of Nigeria only on terms and conditions prescribed by the National Assembly.”
“However, the terms and conditions under which that can be done have not yet been prescribed by the National Assembly.”
It is worth noting that President Buhari stated clearly in one of his speeches delivered before the election:
“I pledge to publicly declare my assets and liabilities, encourage all my appointees to publicity declare their assets and liabilities as a pre-condition for appointment.”
Thus, this promise is yet to be fulfilled.

The 21 year old recipient, who has not been identified, lost his penis in a botched traditional circumcision three years ago and had the ground-breaking, nine-hour surgery in December 2014.

"This is what we intended, that he should be able to stand up and be able to urinate and have intercourse, so it is a milestone for him," Dr Van der Merwe, head of Stellenbosch University's Division of Urology, told the BBC. He added that he was “very pleased” for his patient that he was to become a father.
