Apparently excited by the emergence of Muhammadu Buhari as Nigeria’s new President, United Kingdom has openly declared its readiness to work closely with Nigeria to end its security and economic challenges. To start with, Britain says it is going to spearhead the group of seven developed nations (G-7 nations) to rally necessary support for Buhari to crush insurgency in Nigeria without further delay.

British Foreign Secretary, Philip Hammond, announced the new posture of his country towards Nigeria while speaking with Vanguard in Abuja on Friday shortly after attending Buhari’s inauguration as Nigeria’s 5th civilian president.
Hammond led British delegation to witness the swearing in of Buhari, who only returned to Nigeria on the eve of his inauguration, where he had gone to rub minds with Prime Minister, David Cameron, at Number 10 Downing Street.
The foreign secretary said that apart from discussing Boko Haram challenges in G7 meeting coming up later, Britain was ready to provide the Nigerian armed forces with needed technical and surveillance equipment and training to be able to combat the menace of insurgency.
According to him, it is imperative that Boko Haram must be crushed in order to give the new administration the opportunity to settle down and tackle the economic development of Nigeria and give succour to the citizens.
Hammond said: “The emergence of Buhari has given us a new opportunity to help Nigeria with both technical and surveillance support to tackle the problems of Boko Haram. “But we can only do that if the Nigerian armed forces comply with human rights requirements. Happily BUhari has given us that assurance and we are going to help Nigeria in any way possible to tackle its problems.
The foreign secretary announced that with Nigeria/British trade volume peaking at £7 billion per year, Britain was ready to drive more investments into Nigeria to help boost its economy and stabilise the country, using Nigerian businessmen in the UK as the vehicle. Hammond said that Britain was excited about what he called “Buhari’s realistic agenda” to tackle the economic and socio-economic challenges so as to give hope to the masses.
Saturday Vanguard learnt that the dispatch of Hammond by David Cameron to attend Buhari’s inauguration marked the beginning of fresh level of cooperation between Nigeria and Britain in recent years. The relationship between the two countries hit the rocks following the alleged refusal by the European nation to sell military hardwares to Nigeria to tackle insurgency on the allegation that Nigerian troops could use them to commit human rights abuses.
Before Hammond’s visit on Thursday, the last British Foreign Secretary to visit Nigeria was Jack Straw about nine years ago.

The Central Bank of Nigeria CBN, Monday, said it had dismissed six officials that were involved in the N8bn currency fraud in some of its branches.
In a statement by the CBN Director, Corporate Communications Department, Ibrahim Mu’azu, said that some of the middle-level officers among the accused had been summarily dismissed or placed on indefinite suspension, depending on gravity of their offence.
“The Central Bank of Nigeria will like to inform the general public of the chronology of events that led the Management of the CBN to hand over some unscrupulous staff to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for prosecution.
“During a routine internal audit of the Bank’s Cash Destruction activities in September 2014, the CBN Briquetting Panel, comprising senior bank staff from different branches, noticed some anomalies at the Ibadan Branch, and immediately reported this to the bank’s management.
“On further investigation ordered by the Governor, it was discovered that a systematic scheme, which has been on for several years, was being run in which mutilated higher denomination notes, originally meant for destruction, were swapped with lower denomination currencies.
“This practice, known as interleafing, basically labels a box with a higher value than its true content.
“As soon as the Bank’s internal investigations concluded beyond reasonable doubt that some wrongdoing had occurred, the affected members of staff, who are middle-level officers were, depending on gravity of offence, either summarily dismissed or immediately placed on indefinite suspension on October 21, 2014, and all handed over to the EFCC for further investigation and prosecution”

No fewer than six top officials of Nigeria’s Central Bank and 16 other workers of commercial banks in the country have been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, for a mega scam involving the sum of N8 billion.
The suspects were picked up by operatives of the anti-graft agency for stealing and putting into circulation defaced and mutilated Nigerian currency notes to the tune of N8 billion meant for destruction.
All the suspects have already been taken into EFCC custody preparatory to their arraignment at the Federal High Court, Ibadan on Tuesday, June 2. To trial will run till June 4 in a bid to speed up the prosecution of the suspects by the court.
A statement signed by the Head of Media of the EFCC, Mr. WilsonUwujaren, gave the names of the suspects as: Patience Okoro Eye( Abuja) , Afolabi Olufemi( Lagos), Kolawole Babalola( Ibadan), Olaniran Muniru Adeola(Ibadan), Fatai Yusuf, Adekunle( Head, Security, CBN, (Ibadan) and Ilori Adekunle Sunday,(Akure).
The 22 suspects who colluded with the CBN officials to commit the fraud are officials drawn from Zenith Bank, FCMB, Wema Bank, Access Bank, First Bank, Skye Bank, Ecobank and Sterling Bank.
The officials helped themselves with the mutilated N8 billion cash and burned old newspaper in place of the defaced Naira notes thereby making a mockery of the CBN rule relating to such money.
But the suspects ran out of luck when one of the bank officials petitioned the EFCC alleging on November 3, 2014 that over N6, 575, 549, 370.00 was cornered and discreetly recycled by light-fingered top executives of the CBN at the Ibadan branch.
The suspects, who were members of the Briquetting Panel, which handles the destruction of defaced notes from commercial banks, decided to play a fast one on the nation but ran into a hitch for the first time.
In banking parlance, Briquetting is disintegration and destruction of counted and audited dirty notes. By this practice, depositor banks usually take mutilated notes to the CBN in exchange for fresh notes equivalent of the amount deposited.
But while carrying out the assignment, the team were alleged to have found one of the currency boxes filled only with old newspapers rather than 20 bundles of N1000 notes.
