News: House of Reps orders CBN to suspend new cash withdrawal limit

The House of Representatives has asked the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to halt the implementation of the new cash withdrawal policy slated for January 9, 2023 pending compliance with the provisions of the Act establishing the bank.

The House also summoned CBN Governor Godwin Emiefele in accordance with the provisions of the Central Bank Act to brief the Chamber on several policies of the bank in recent times.

There was anger in the House on Thursday as members took turns to condemn the new cash withdrawal policy, saying it will grossly affect small businesses and the economy since most rural communities don’t have access to banks.

However, following a point of order raised by Mark Gbillah on the provisions of the Central Bank Act, the House directed the CBN Governor to appear before the House on Thursday, December 15, 2022 to brief the House on why the policy should be allowed to stand.

In Yangtu few months ago, some people hired bandits to attack the market with guns on Market day to discourage business activities outside Takum. This is outside the several attempts to attack Kwesati Market in Ussa.

Taraba State Has Moved From 35 to 30 In Poverty Ranking, Base on Multidimensional Poverty Index By NBS.

The Nigeria MPI has four dimensions, namely health, education, living standards, and work and shocks, while each of these metrics has its sub factors that capture the many forms the problems exist for better understanding and policy response.

The states with the highest number of poor people have in common monetary poverty, a poor population of more than 90 percent, deprivations in years of schooling, food security, unemployment and shocks, access to water, greater nutritional deprivations, while the proportion of child population under 5 living in multidimensional poverty is above 50 percent in all the states.

The NBS said both the monetary and non-monetary poverty measures are needed to enhance the understanding of the policies intended to address the needs and deprivations faced by poor populations.

“The fact that the incidence of monetary poverty is lower than the incidence of multidimensional poverty across most states implies that the Nigeria MPI (2022) is making visible part of the population who are not identified as poor by the national monetary measure. This provides a clearer picture of poverty in Nigeria and contributes to informing a more comprehensive policy response,” the report said.

In terms of the intensity of poverty, the poorest states are Sokoto, Bayelsa, Jigawa, Kebbi and Gombe. The indicators, which showed Sokoto, Bayelsa, Jigawa, Kebbi, and Gombe are the poorest states, include nutrition, food insecurity, time to healthcare, school attendance, years of schooling, water reliability, sanitation, housing materials, cooking fuel, assets, unemployment, underemployment, and insecurities.

Talk about suffering, this man has seen it all. Senegal has been extremely patient with him, and he has been extremely patient with himself. He never stopped trying and today he deserves all the happiness coming his way.

Aliou Cisse, as player, missed a crucial penalty as Senegal lost their first ever AFCON final in 2002.

He officially became Senegal's head coach in 2015. He was ousted in the quarterfinals of AFCON 2017. However, the Federation kept faith in him and he qualified Senegal for the 2018 World Cup.

In the 2018 World Cup, however, he suffered another heartbreak as Senegal became the first side in history to be eliminated from the World Cup based on fair play points. Senegal and Japan had the same number of points, same goal difference , same number of goals scored and it came down to disciplinary record to decide the team that qualifies. Japan progressed with 2 fewer yellow cards.

The Senegalese FA still did not give up on Cissé and Cissé himself did not throw in the towel. He led the side to the AFCON 2019 final but it still wasn't to be as Senegal lost to Algeria.

The FA still did not doubt his capabilities and renewed their confidence in the gaffer.

Then came time for the harvest. Aliou Cissé delivered the nation's first ever AFCON title this year, and has now led them into the World Cup Round of 16 for just the second time ever.

Aliou Cissé is the sort of coach whose victory will be celebrated even by his opponents, for how far he has come.
