Britain’s Export Finance Agency has announced plan to add the Naira to its list of “pre-approved currencies”.

This will allow the agency provide financing for transactions with Nigerian businesses denominated in the local currency.

According to Reuters, the Naira will become one of three West African currencies that UK Export Finance has pre-approved for its programme of funding transactions that promote trade with Britain.

“This is a clear indication of how much value the UK places on its relationship with Nigeria”, British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Paul Arkwright said in a statement by the UK credit agency.

“It will provide a firm foundation for a significant increase in trade and investment between both countries”.

The statement said the UK would provide up to 85 per cent of funding for projects containing a minimum of 20 per cent British content.

Big brother housemate, Cee-C has come under attack over her claim that she can make N45m in a day.

Cee-C on Thursday boasted in a conversation with fellow housemate, BamBam that the grand prize N45m is not important to her as she can make such amount in a week.

This has generated reactions as some Nigerians on social media wondered why she came for the reality show if she can make such amount of money.

They described her as being fake. They compared her to ex-housemate, Tboss, who made similar comment in the last edition.

Recall that Tboss had last year come under intense criticisms by followers of the programme for saying if she won, she would spend the N25m in a week.

Benue State Police Command has reacted to the report accusing the X-Squad Unit of Police of looting and beating of staff of the Benue State Internal Revenue Services (BIRS).

It was alleged that the new Commander of the Squad demanded for N10m from BIRS, claiming it was an order from the IGP.

The Squad was further alleged to have manhandled Mrs. Mimi Orubibi, the Executive Chairman of BIRS for refusing to agree to the unholy demand.

The development allegedly sparked protest with youths of the states burning tyres and blocking major roads leading to Makurdi, the Benue State capital.

Reacting when contacted by DAILY POST Monday night, the state Police PRO, Moses Yamu said the command had commenced investigation on what led to the invasion and assault on the BIRS staff.

He said, “The Inspector General of Police’s order is that all Police actions must conform with the rule of law and respect the fundamental rights of the citizens. This is as set out in the Police creed issued by the IGP.

“It is in view of the foregoing that the command wishes to inform the general public that it has taken immediate action, with the support of the Executive Governor of the State to prevent breakdown of law and order in the State Capital.

“The officer behind the disgraceful act has been identified and investigation has commenced in earnest. The investigation will be handled dispassionately and accorded the seriousness it deserves; with a view to ensuring that the erring Officer and any other Officer found wanting are made to face the full wrath of the law

A female student of the Delta State Polytechnic, Ozoro, identified simply as Happiness, has been found dead with her private parts and other organs removed by men suspected to be Yahoo boys (Internet fraudsters).www.nairaland.com/attachments/6649917_analyticspage2_jpeg04d36995590c80a6c395a55597d4c4f5

The student, who was said to be a new student, had been declared missing on January 25, 2017, after leaving her hostel to celebrate her birthday with some male friends at a popular bar in Ozoro, the administrative headquarters of the Isoko North Local Government Area.


Our correspondent gathered that the victim had left her apartment that Thursday with her mobile phone and had promised to return after the birthday party.

She never returned alive.

PUNCH Metro learnt that her remains were discovered in an open space close to a secondary school along Owhelogbo Road in Ozoro, with one of her breasts, eyes, heart and private parts removed by her killers.

A friend of the deceased’s roommate, who did not want to be identified, told our correspondent on Monday that the Science and Laboratory Technology National Diploma I student was dating one of the Yahoo boys.

The source said, “When her roommate didn’t see her around 7pm on the day she went for the party, she called to know her whereabouts and she (Happiness) said she was in Oleh and would soon return home.

“Her roommate called repeatedly around 9pm, but her number didn’t connect. The same thing happened the following day. It was at that point that the roommate raised the alarm that she was missing.

“Family members and friends had been searching for her until last Friday when her mutilated body was found along Owhelogbo Road.”

A hostel mate, who also confirmed the incident, said the deceased’s roommate had been arrested by men of the Delta State Police Command for interrogation.



The Public Relations Officer of the institution, Mr. Boniface Ogarayan, could not been reached for comment, as his two telephone lines indicated that they were not available.

Also, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Andrew Aniamaka, said he had not been briefed on the killing as of the time of filing this report.

Twenty-two political parties under the umbrella of Committee of Concerned Political Parties (CCPP) have constituted six committees on security, restructuring and 2019 general elections.

Interim Chairman of CCPP, Dr Onwubuya Breakforth, made this known to newsmen on Friday in Abuja.

Breakforth, who is the National Chairman of Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), said that the group was concerned about boiling national issues, including killings by herdsmen and restructuring.

He said that the group was committed to contributing its quota towards addressing them.

The sub-committees, according to Breakforth, are on restructuring Nigeria and inter-governmental affairs; national security and integration as well as planning and finance.

Others are on contact and mobilisation, and on research and documentation.

He added that the committees would commence action and make recommendations before the unveiling of the group in a few weeks.

“The CCPP also resolved to jointly discuss and proffer solutions to key national issues threatening the peace and unity of our dear country.

“It was further resolved that various options open to the group in relation to the 2019 general elections would be explored in the best interest of the country,” he said.

Breakforth said that the group had agreed to form a three-member steering committee to pilot its affairs.

He added that additional sub-committees were formed to articulate overall objectives for the group and other topical national issues.

The chairman disclosed that while 22 political parties were present at the meeting, nine others had indicated interest to join the group.

He listed some of the political parties represented at the meeting as Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), Sustainable National Party (SNP), New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Social Democratic Party (SDP), Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN) and Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN).

It also included Grassroots Development Party of Nigeria (GDPN) and National People’s Congress (NPC).

The Coalition for Nigeria (CN), initiated by former President Olusegun Obasanjo has held its first meeting in Ondo State.

The meeting, which held in Akure, the Ondo State capital, had in attendance members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Prominent members of the PDP and APC who were at the meeting include Hon. Demola Ijabiyi, Mr. Oluwarotimi Akintoye, former Deputy Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Hon. Dare Emiola, former PDP State Chairmen, Ebenezer Alabi and Biyi Poroye, Dr. Dare Bada, Sunday Menukuro and Kehinde Alabi.

Also at the meeting were APC chieftains: Jimi Adekanle and Mrs. Kehinde Adeniran, among others.

The coordinator, an ally of Obasanjo, Ijabiyi speaking at the meeting said the group was not a political party, but a mass movement to determine Nigerians’ liberation from hands of corrupt leaders.

According to him, a large component of the party was for the youths.

“APC and PDP are vessels of darkness. We are bringing people to light as nobody will like to remain in darkness.

“There is the need to liberate ourselves from the bondage of these exploiters who have no solution to the problems of the country.‎

“For now, we are not a political party, but after collating the movement as a formidable mass movement of people in all sectors of life, the decisions of leaders of the coalition will metamorphose into a political party.

“There are several movements coming up that would align with this coalition to achieve the desired goals.

“The youth would form the largest component of those to lead the movement and determine their leaders at various levels, there is no way the present precarious situation in the country will be allowed to remain without seeking the best solution,” he said.

The Federal High Court, Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State has ruled that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC lacked power to investigate finances of the Ekiti State.

According to the court, “in federalism, the Federal Government is not an overseer or supervisor regarding finances of a State.”

The court informed that only the State House of Assembly can investigate finances of a State.

The court restrained the anti-graft agency from interfering in the running of Ekiti State by either investigating or arresting any official of the State Government.
