Port Harcourt – The Niger Delta Peoples Salvation Front (NDPSF) has called on President Goodluck Jonathan to lay the foundation for the transformation of the country into an industrialised nation. The group’s General Secretary, Mr Mark Olise, said on Thursday that for the nation to achieve an industrialised status, the new administration must prioritise power generation.

The agent of Brazilian forward Neymar has rejected reports that Chelsea have lodged a new bid to lure the 19-year-old away from Santos.

The starlet has been heavily linked with a host of top European clubs such as Real Madrid and Barcelona, with Santos having already rejected a bid reported to be in the region of £30 million.

Speaking to Brazil Marca, Wagner Ribeiro, Neymar’s chief representative, denied that Chelsea have made another offer: “This is all speculation from Britain. It is absurd.

“In August Santos refused a proposal of €35m £30.9m, how is it that Roman Abramovich would now offer €26m £23m? It makes no sense and makes me laugh.”

Neymar recently led Santos to the final of the Copa Libertadores, and plans to link up with the Brazil squad for the Copa America, after which Ribeiro insists he will return to his club.

He continued: “He does not want to, and will not, leave Santos. He is happy and focused on the Libertadores.

“Of course he will arouse interest, that is just natural because of his performances on the field – but I guarantee you there is no proposal for him.

“You have to pay €45m £39.75m for him, yet Santos have to want to sell and now Santos do not want to.”
