The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), on Thursday, announced the postponement of its Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), known as eNaira, to allow other key activities lined up to commemorate the country’s 61st independence anniversary. Speaking with newsmen in Abuja, CBN Spokesman, Mr. Osita Nwanisobi explained that the CBN took the decision to postpone the launch, which had been initially planned to coincide with the independence anniversary, in deference to the mood of national rededication to the collective dream of One Nigeria. While assuring that there was no cause for alarm, he said the CBN and other partners were working round the clock to ensure a seamless process that will be for the overall benefit of the customer, particularly those in the rural areas and the unbanked population. Highlighting the benefits of the eNaira, Nwanisobi stressed that Nigerians would be able to carry out peer-to-peer transfer to another person’s eNaira wallet as well as pay for goods and services at selected merchants. He added that the eNaira would also help reduce the use of cash and ensure stability of the Nigerian economy. On the readiness of banks and other financial institutions in the financial ecosystem for the launch of the eNaira, he reiterated that eNaira was a journey, explaining that not all bank customers were expected to commence transactions on the day of the launch. He, however, assured that financial institutions in Nigeria remained key actors and were a critical part of the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). Nwanisobi also noted that the CBN was mindful of concerns expressed about the eNaira, being among the first CBDCs in the world. According to him, the Bank had put a structure in place to promptly address any issue that might arise from the pilot implementation of the eNaira. https://www.sunnewsonline.com/breaking-cbn-postpones-enaira-launch/ |

Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has called on the National Population Commission (NPC) to make available the statistics of deaths and birth data to enable it to update and clean its voters register. This is as the NPC Chairman, Nasiru Isa, has said that there may be a national census next year subject to approval by the Presidency. The INEC Chairman, Prof Mahmood Yakubu, made the request when the NPC boss, Isa, visited INEC’s headquarters as part of efforts to engender a smooth working relationship between the two commissions. While making the request for the statistics of death and birth, the INEC boss said, “The idea is to enable INEC to easily delimit and periodically review Electoral Constituencies based on NPC’s figures whenever there is a new population census. “This cannot be achieved without accurate population data. This is partly why no constituencies have been delimited in Nigeria since the last exercise was carried out 25 years ago in 1996 by the defunct National Electoral Commission of Nigeria (NECON). Working together with the population commission, we are determined to make a difference this time around, just as we solved the problem of voter access to Polling Units in Nigeria.” The INEC chairman told the visiting NPC delegation that the election management body had already prepared and produced a Discussion Paper on Electoral Constituencies in Nigeria looking at the issues more broadly, including the imperative of a new population census. “We will share copies of the Paper with the NPC at this meeting,” Yakubu said. He said that within the framework of the RA/EAD project, “we have jointly covered 261 LGAs nationwide. I am aware that NPC have covered more LGAs. “Going forward, we are finalising a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) which will be signed very soon. In the MoU, we have more clearly defined the scope and duration of our collaboration as well as the responsibilities of the two commissions. I want to reassure the NPC that we shall continue to strengthen our existing collaboration. After all, we are both public bodies funded by the treasury to work for Nigeria and Nigerians,” the INEC chairman explained. In ensuring a collaborative partnership between the two agencies, the INEC chairman said that it had the largest biometric register of citizens in Nigeria complete with photographs and fingerprint information for voter authentication. He also said that INEC had also introduced facial biometric authentication of voters which was successfully piloted in the recent bye-election in Isoko South 1 State Constituency in Delta State. The INEC chairman also said that the commission would also explore other areas of cooperation to enable NPC and INEC to serve Nigerians better, but said, “Of immediate interest to INEC is how the NPC can provide data that will assist us in further enhancing the credibility of the National Register of Voters.” In his remarks, the NPC chairman said that they were in INEC to further enhance their collaboration in their service to Nigeria, explaining that they have already delineated constituencies in the 774 local government areas of the federation as well enhancing their electronic capturing of data to improve their census duties. https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2021/09/25/voters-registration-inec-asks-population-commission-to-avail-it-with-death-birth-statistics/ |
The Federal Government has slammed criticism over its incessant solicitation for foreign loans. This stance was made by the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed who noted that such criticisms are insincere due to the state of the economy. According to the minister, the government had to borrow so much because there was nothing on ground to show for funds previous administrations borrowed. Lai made this call on Thursday during a town hall meeting in Maiduguri to redress the incessant vandalism of power and telecommunications infrastructure. The event was also attended by the Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum. According to Minister, it was imperative for the FG to borrow due to the appalling state of infrastructure across the country while listing completed and ongoing projects, as a result. “Today, we have new airport terminals in Abuja, Kano, Lagos and Port Harcourt, the Itakpe-Warri rail line that was abandoned for decades is running. “We have well over 13,000km of federal roads under repair, rehabilitation and reconstruction and there is a road project in every state, “Today, we have started the countdown to when the 2nd Niger Bridge, which successive administrations have built only on paper, will be completed. “The list of projects we are handling with the loans we obtained is long,’’ he said. Lai also launched an attack on the previous administration over the current predicament of the country which he said necessitated the borrowings. “For example, in their time, they claimed to have spent billions of Naira in building infrastructure, but as one can see, their infrastructure projects were only on paper. “Today, we are still saddled with looking for resources to build the same infrastructure for which they claimed to have allocated huge resources. “We will not be deterred by the antics of those who believe they can play politics with everything,” the Minister said. .https://www.ripplesnigeria.com/past-govts-reason-we-have-to-borrow-so-much-lai-mohammed/ |

The Governor of Zamfara State, Bello Matawalle, has said that a repentant bandit led to the rescue of the abducted students of Kaya Maradun from the bandits. Governor Matawalle made the disclosure Saturday morning in a BBC Hausa exclusive programme, “Ganimun hanya.” On September 1, 2021, armed bandits stormed Government day Secondary School Kaya in Governor Matawalle’s Maradun local government area, and abducted 73 students. Blueprint reports that last week, the state government announced their rescue and were received by Governor Matawalle at the Government House in Gusau. He said that shutting down communication in the state has helped in securing the abducted students from the bandits. “After abducting the children at Kaya in Maradun, we have followed all means to ensure their release but all have failed. “I have been thinking on how to deal with bandits. Allah gave the wisdom, I later thought of shutting down communication because it is a major problem. “I said if we can discommunicate the bandits leaving in those villages from getting information from people in the town it will help. “It was from there one of those repentant bandits who embraced peace, that resides in the city told us that he will do his best to get where they were, which he did. “We took a decision to deploy security, they moved in around 2:00am and by 6:00am, they reached out to the place, did what they did and the students were rescued,” he said. He said there are no remaining students that are abductees in the state. https://www.blueprint.ng/breaking-zamfara-governor-reveals-how-kidnapped-students-were-rescued/ |

It appears that the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) has started issuing data reports to foreign media outlets through back-channel before officially releasing it on their websites as they did in the era of Dr Yemi Kale. This is based on observations made by the Nairametrics team on different occasions. You would recall that President Muhammadu Buhari appointed Mr. Simon Harry as the new Statistician-General of the Federation and the head of the National Bureau of Statistics in August, following the completion of Yemi Kale’s second tenure. However, a major breach has been noticed on two occasions where news outlets now get information of statistical reports before the official publication on the Statistical agency’s website, which was not the case initially. Prior to the ban on the use of Twitter in Nigeria by the federal government, the former head of NBS would inform the public through his handle if and when any report would be released. However, with the ban on Twitter use, the public, news outlets, and analysts alike now had to go through constant monitoring of the official website. This was not an easy task; however, it was a fair playing ground for all parties involved. With the recent backchanneling of information, it has become a situation of an unfair advantage given to some people at the expense of others. Case 1 (Q2 2021 Foreign Trade) On Monday, 6 September 2021 a number of news outlets had reported the 2021 second quarter foreign trade report, referring to the weekend as the release date. It was only until later in the afternoon on that Monday, before it was officially released on their website. Case 2 (August 2021 Inflation report) On Tuesday, 15 September inflation figure for the month of August 2021 was reported at 17.01%, representing a decline compared to 17.38% recorded in the previous month. This report referred to the release date being Wednesday, 15 September 2021 in the morning. It is worth noting that as of the time of writing this article the consumer price index report is yet to be released on the official website of the NBS. Below is a screenshot of the website as of 9:03 am. Why this matters Releasing of official data through backchannel is an action that is worthy of investigation as it gives a few privileged information at the expense of the many, creating an era of unfair advantage and is against the freedom of equity in the pursuit of facts. A famous statistical code is “Facts from reliable Figure”, this action undermines the reliability of the statistical processes in the country. https://nairametrics.com/2021/09/15/nigerias-nbs-is-issuing-data-through-back-channels-since-new-regime/ |

The Chief Press Secretary to Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, Mr Taiwo Adisa, has said the advertisement in circulation linking his boss to 2023 presidential ambition is fake. Adisa who disclaimed the advertisement in a statement in Ibadan on Monday, described it as one of the antics of fake news promoters. He added that the advert which had the picture of Governor Makinde and the Nigerian flag, as well as the picture of his CPS, should be disregarded. “It is the usual practice of naysayers and detractors to seek to mix sour grapes in the basket of fruits, at a time when well-meaning citizens are celebrating the victory of the state football club that has just been promoted to Nigerian Premier Football League. “Let it be stated clearly, however, that Governor Makinde has no hand in any such campaign for the presidency, as he has always stated that tomorrow only belongs to God. “It is unthinkable that the governor, who has cautioned supporters against mounting a second-term campaign for him, would launch a 2023 presidential campaign at this period. “For the avoidance of doubt, Makinde will not change his belief that power belongs to Almighty God and that only God knows the direction He is taking every of his creation. “Therefore, we urge members of the public to ignore the fake news,” he said.
