Good news Safe trip Mr president Over to you Wailers |
President Bola Tinubu is scheduled to take his administration’s aggressive push for attracting more foreign direct investments and infrastructure boost into Nigeria to Saudi Arabia, where he will attend two bilateral summits. According to the President’s spokesman, the events are targeted at different areas of interests, but noted that the outings are going to be critical to how Nigeria takes advantage of the projected potentials of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA), market. He said the Saudi-African Summit’s target will be exploring issues around the economic ties between Africa and Saudi Arabia, including counter-terrorism, agriculture, environment and other areas of mutual concern. For the second, being the Arab-African Summit, according to Ngelale, will be focusing on expanding infrastructure between both regions and will particularly be paying attention to the establishment of a new high-speed train network between the Arab League of Nations and the African Union countries. “His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, will be heading to Riyadh, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to attend two major summits. The first of which is the Saudi-Africa Summit, at which several areas of mutual concern will be addressed with respect to the economic ties between the regions with respect to the issues of counterterrorism, the environment, agriculture, and many other areas of mutual concern, where we feel much more can be done in terms of accelerating the level of trade and investment between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the African continent. “Obviously, His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is very keen on ensuring that the Federal Republic of Nigeria, within the context of the continent, is in a position to maximally leverage on opportunities that will be afforded by the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement, where we will be having a single trade market of over one billion Africans, the expectation, according to the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, is that by the year 2050, our market here on the continent would have surpassed $29 trillion. We believe that action toward that begins now. “So the President is going to be very active and leading that effort from the forefront. That will be holding on November 10, followed by a very important summit. That is the Arab-African Summit holding on November 11, where His Excellency, President Bola Tinubu in his capacity, not just as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, but also as the Chairman of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of Government, will be taking part in the summit, ensuring that he is at the forefront of advocating for really a deepening partnership of the two regions, that is the League of Arab Nations as well as the African Union, with respect to how we can integrate in terms of our infrastructure, how we can facilitate the establishment of a new high speed train network that would league that would tie Arab nations from the Middle East and Northern Africa, to the rest of the African continent”, he said. https://thenationonlineng.net/tinubu-takes-investment-push-diplomatic-expansion-to-saudi-arab-nations/ mynd44 oam4j lalasticlala seun nlfpmod |
Good development over to you CBN |
S trategic steps must be taken by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to drive down inflation and halt further erosion of wealth, a former governor of the apex bank has said. Why Central Bank must bring down inflation, by Sanusi Nduka Chiejina, Abuja and Collins Nweze | Assistant Business Editor November 6, 2023 ‘Give agric priority’ Cardoso: we are changing apex bank’s policy direction Dr. Muhammad Sanusi advised the incumbent CBN Governor, Dr. Olayemi Cardoso, to initiate policies that will rein in inflation, which he noted had severely impacted the economy. Sanusi, the 14th Emir of Kano, spoke when he led members of the Impact Investing Community on a courtesy visit to Cardoso at the CBN headquarters in Abuja. The inflation rate has maintained a long streak of consecutive increases over the months. By September, it stood at 26.72 per cent after seven consecutive increases – the highest in over a decade. According to Sanusi, CBN’s activities have a massive impact on lives. He added that many people often “do not know the impact of a central bank’s works until a central bank fails.” He acknowledged the importance of long-term planning by the CBN in achieving its goals. Sanusi emphasised the need for fiscal authorities to focus on agriculture and education, especially for the girl-child. Expressing delight at his visit to Cardoso, Sanusi pledged continued support by the Impact Investing Community to the CBN. Cardoso reiterated that under his watch, the bank will focus mainly on the core mandate of price stability. He restated his team’s determination to change the narrative about the apex bank and make it more efficient. Cardoso said: “At the end of our tenure, we want to look back and see that our policies have positively impacted people’s lives.” He noted that the Impact Investing Community represents an excellent future for Nigeria. He believes in its potential to transform the country’s economy by tapping into the investment opportunities available. Commending the quality of leadership at Impact Investing Community and its effort to create awareness as well as build partnerships, the CBN governor said the bank would collaborate with it on frameworks that will encourage investments to drive economic growth. Chairman of the Impact Investing Community, Mrs. Ibukun Awosika, said they were at the CBN to register their willingness to support what the bank and the Federal Government were doing in changing the local investment climate by redirecting resources to areas where they will make the most positive impact. According to her, over $200 trillion was available globally for investments, $1 trillion of it for impact investing. She added that Impact Investing, with a presence in over 41 countries, was willing to blend with traditional investment practitioners. Stressing the importance of social investment, she sought the support of the CBN to enable the body to achieve its goal. CBN Deputy Governor in charge of Corporate Services, Dr. Bala Bello, underscored the importance of investments, noting that global capital was moving towards social investment. He noted that collaboration and effective communication were vital to successfully navigating the prevailing challenges. Impact investing refers to investments made into companies, organisations, and funds to generate a measurable, beneficial social or environmental impact alongside a financial return. https://thenationonlineng.net/why-central-bank-must-bring-down-inflation-by-sanusi/ mynd44 oam4j lalasticlala seun nlfpmod |

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) have declined request to make public documents relating to President Bola Tinubu. The two U.S. agencies said Tinubu has “privacy rights that should be considered”. Responding to a motion by Aaron Greenspan, an American who is seeking a reconsideration of an ealier ruling, the law enforcement agencies said the plaintiff is merely seeking to reargue his position on which the court has already ruled. ADVERTISEMENT The agencies asked the court to deny the plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration. The Court properly characterized that motion as a motion for a temporary restraining order and determined that plaintiff did not satisfy his burden of showing that he would succeed on the merits as to FOIA exemptions and irreparable injury is likely, and the balance of equities favor him or granting the motion would further the public interest because Tinubu has privacy interests that should be considered,” the agencies said in their response to Greenspan’s motion. The development comes after the US court for the district of Columbia rejected an emergency request by Greenspan on the release of the confidential information about Tinubu. Greenspan, in the application had sought to compel the FBI, CIA, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and Internal Revenue Service (IRS), to hasten the release of Tinubu’s dossier. ADVERTISEMENT Declining the request, Beryl Howell, the district judge, had said Greenspan did not meet the preconditions for granting a request of that nature. The judge said the request “may be of a highly sensitive and private nature” and that “the subject of those documents, Bola A. Tinubu, has had no opportunity to protect his privacy interests in any such records”. Greenspan had accused the law enforcement agencies of violating the freedom of information act by not releasing the confidential information within the stipulated time. https://pmnewsnigeria.com/2023/10/30/fbi-rejects-request-to-release-documents-on-president-tinubu/ mynd44 oam4j lalasticlala seun nlfpmod |
Obiedun:Amen |
Thank you Tinubu War is not good.they should negotiate and end the war |
Nigeria alongside 119 other countries on Friday voted in favour of a humanitarian ceasefire in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. This follows the failure of four draft resolutions at the UN Security Council. At the UN General Assembly on Friday, while 120 countries voted in favour, 14 including US and Israel voted against. A total of 45 countries abstained. The resolution was on the “protection of civilians and upholding legal and humanitarian obligations”, according to UN News. It demanded that all parties “immediately and fully comply” with obligations under international humanitarian and human rights laws, “particularly in regard to the protection of civilians and civilian objects.” Thousands of civilians have been killed in Israel and Gaza, with the latter recording more casualties as a result of relentless bombardments from Israel. The recent escalation started on 7 October when Hamas attacked Israel. Over 1,400 Israelis were killed in that attack. Since then, Israel has declared war on the group with occupants of the Gaza Strip at the receiving end. Over 7,000 Gaza residents including about 3,000 children have been killed in the air strikes, according to official figures. Additionally, the resolution called for the protection of humanitarian personnel and humanitarian facilities to enable and facilitate humanitarian access for essential supplies and services to reach all civilians in need in the Gaza Strip. Since the recent escalation, no less than 53 humanitarian staff have been killed in Gaza, UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) said. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/637845-israel-gaza-war-nigeria-others-vote-in-favour-of-immediate-ceasefire.html mynd44 oam4j lalasticlala seun nlfpmod |
A genocide is happening with the protection of the US and everyone
is silent! |
As civilians in both Israel and Gaza, the Palestinian territory
governed by Hamas, continue to be on the receiving end of the war
that broke out on October 7, the political repercussions of the
conflict is altering the dynamics in upcoming elections in countries
as far away as the United Kingdom and the United States of
America.
And with thousands protesting across major cities in Europe, the
impact of the war on local politics is more pronounced in Europe
than in the United States, and is leading to a divide between
Europe and the U.S.
The war is also causing unrest in Middle Eastern countries like
Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, and Morocco, some of which had
earlier made peace deals with Israel.
On Friday, only 12 countries supported the US and Israel at the UN
General Assembly in opposing a motion calling for a humanitarian
ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, Palestine. In the motion sponsored by Jordan, 120 countries voted in support against the 14 that opposed the motion, with 45 countries abstaining from voting. Jordan’s foreign minister, Ayman Safadi, said the general assembly had “spoken for justice.” He said the resolution was a clear stand against Israel’s war, against the killing of Palestinians, against war crimes, on the side of international law. Though the resolution is non-binding, it reflects world opinion on events unfolding in the Middle East. In contract, the Security Council, which has powers to pass binding resolutions, has been unable to pass a motion on the crisis without either Russia or the US wielding its veto power. However, the US was the only major power that voted against the General Assembly motion, while a majority of European countries abstained from voting. Belgium, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain,Switzerland and Norway voted in favour of the resolution, while Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary and Croatia voted against the resolution. Apart from the four European countries, six of the votes that went the way of the US’ position were from Pacific islands, namely Fiji, Tonga, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru and Papua New Guinea. The UN General Assembly resolution stressed the importance of preventing further destabilisation and escalation of violence in the region. It also asked all parties to exercise maximum restraint and for all those with influence on the feuding parties to work toward this objective. The US has consistently insisted on the right of Israel to defend itself, refusing to publicly call for a ceasefire. The surprise abstention was the UK, which has witnessed some of the largest protests calling for a ceasefire. The protests have put considerable pressure on the UK government, but it is in the opposition Labour Party that the war is causing a rebellion. Labour leader, Keir Starmer, was quoted in a recent interview as saying Israel has the right to cut food and water supplies from the Gaza Strip. According to a report from the Independent, citing a recent poll, Labour voters think Keir Starmer has handled the Gaza crisis badly because of his refusal to back a ceasefire. Starmer, according to reports, is now being warned by front benchers that the party could lose seats over his stance. A new YouGov survey finds that 42 per cent of 2019 Labour voters think that he has badly handled his response to Israel-Hamas conflict. Only 26 per cent think Starmer – who has refused to support a ceasefire despite backing from a revolt by dozens of MPs and the party’s devolved leaders – has handled it well. London mayor Sadiq Khan, Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham and Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar all broke ranks to challenge Sir Starmer’s stance on Gaza. Labour MPs have told The Independent that more than 100 of Sir Starmer’s MPs – half his parliamentary party, including some frontbenchers – want him to call for a ceasefire in the fighting. They also warned the Labour leader that the party faces an “existential threat” in seats with a large number of Muslim voters, as councillors quit and local parties pass motions in favour of an immediate ceasefire. But as Israel’s assault on the strip intensifies, the Labour leader is facing growing calls from party members and MPs to take a stronger line and demand a ceasefire. Starmer’s refusal to do so is causing a ruckus within the party rarely seen in his three-and-a-half years as leader. “It won’t last,” predicted one angry left-wing aide, granted anonymity to speak frankly. “They’re bombing the sh*t out of civilians. He’s going to end up calling for a ceasefire.” The conflict in Gaza always had the potential to reopen faultlines in the Labour Party, given that Starmer has expended a huge amount of time and effort trying to turn the page on claims of antisemitism under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn. Restoring Labour’s shattered reputation with the Jewish community has been Starmer’s top priority as leader. But Labour also traditionally attracts the support of large numbers of British Muslims — and non-Muslims allied with the Palestinian cause — who are desperate to see the party voice more full- throated support for Gazans. According to polls, in the 2019 general election, 71 percent of British Muslims voted for Labour, while now just five percent said they would vote Labour again. And 98 percent of respondents to the poll said their decision was influenced by the Labour Party’s stance on the ongoing conflict in Israel and Palestine. As many as 23 Labour Councillors resigned over Starmer’s stance on Israel and 250 Muslim Labour Councillors signed a letter demanding a ceasefire. In the US, where President Joe Biden has staunchly backed Israel, it is progressive politicians in New York, which has the largest Jewish population, that have found themselves on the defensive. But in Michigan, where Biden won handily in the last presidential elections, Muslim voters are reconsidering their support for the president and may sit out the next election. In Michigan, Muslim and Arab American voters turned out decisively for Biden three years ago. Ammar Moussa, a spokesman for the president’s re-election campaign, said that Biden “knows the importance of earning the trust of every community, of upholding the sacred dignity and rights of all Americans,” and is working closely with Muslim and Palestinian American leaders. Nada Al-Hanooti, a Palestinian American organiser based in Dearborn, was quoted by the New York Times saying that as of 2020, there were approximately 200,000 registered Muslim voters in Michigan, making the community a significant voting bloc in a battleground state of 8.2 million registered voters. Ms. Al-Hanooti said Muslims turned out in large numbers for Mr. Biden mainly because they were motivated to help defeat President Trump. As a candidate for president, Mr. Trump called for a shutdown of Muslim immigration and referred to “radical Islam” infiltrating American communities. And while in office, he issued an executive order that imposed restrictions on refugees and visitors from seven predominantly Muslim countries. https://leadership.ng/israel-hamas-war-causes-rift-between-europe-us/ mynd44 oam4j lalasticlala seun nlfpmod |
