On FX & The Nigerian Market:

First of all, it is sad but the truth as of this moment remains that at this rate, we may never return to the days where the dollar sells below ₦1000. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it would be a miracle if it happens.

However, that's not much of the problem. What is more important is that the CBN must now begin to do everything within its means to immediately stop the seemingly unending relapse of the naira while ensuring that the currency finds stability in the forex market. The rates does not have to go down immediately, but for a start, it must be stable. This is the only way to fix the volatility & uncertainty in market price of items (food & other consumables) which is the biggest source of worry for common Nigerians at the moment as prices continue to skyrocket due to the very disturbing naira-to-dollar rate.

Also, the CBN Governor may do everything right to fix the monetary side of the economy but if efforts remain minimal on the fiscal side, then things will continue to remain as bad as they were, or even worse.

We must know that the CBN does not produce dollar notes, hence they can only work with what is available in managing the pressure on our local currency. On the fiscal side, Federal Ministries like the Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Tourism, Ministry of Trade & Investment, Ministry of Marine & Blue Economy alongside others must begin to pull their weights towards attracting FDIs which would improve and sustain dollar inflow into our economy.

The Ministry of Finance led by HM Wale Edun must now more than ever begin to tighten up on fiscal discipline & responsibility. All leakages must be blocked, all loose ends must be tightened & the government must be conscientious with their spending. We must begin to find ways to shore up our foreign reserves through foreign direct investments. We cannot be complaining of poor inflow while our government continues to spend on SUVs & other frivolities as if they are hip-hop artistes.

More importantly, Ngerians must understand our current reality. The truth remains that economics does not offer solutions, it offers options. We cannot eat our cake & have it, we must immediately begin our journey towards self sufficiency through massive local production while also reducing our appetite for consumption of imported goods.

The FG must as a matter of urgency prioritise internal security so that our local farmers can return to their farms without fear while food transporters also go about their businesses with ease. This is the only way we can enhance food security and by extension, crash food prices.

Like he equally admitted, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu campaigned for this job, he danced around Nigeria for it, so he should not be pitied. Nigerians must now begin to talk solutions & the Tinubu-led administration must begin to listen.

It remains my prayer that Nigeria will succeed & flourish in my lifetime!

One Year On Throne: My Ascension is for Development, Growth of the Youth and repositioning of the traditional and cultural norms, Says Amb. Danmutaqqa

The Sarkin Samarin Yamma of the Seventeen (17) Southern States of Nigeria, Ambassador (Dr) Sanni Salisu Danmutaqqa, has revealed that his ascension to the throne is divine for the development and growth of the Youth, with establishment and repositioning of the traditional and cultural norms amongst the youth populace.

Ambassador Danmutaqqa made this known at the weekend during a Press Conference to mark his First Year Coronation Anniversary at his residence.

The youthful chief gave glory to Allah SWT for the grace to achieve so much in a short period of his reign, promising the youth that they should expect more landmark achievements and laudable feats in the coming months.

He appreciated His Royal Highness, Mallam Dr. Haruna Maiyasin Katsina, Sarkin Sasa and Sardaunan Yamma, who is the Chairman, Council of Arewa Traditional Chiefs in Seventeen (17) Southern States of Nigeria, for finding him worthy on merit to take the title. He as well hail the Royal Fathers and the youths for their inflicting support for him to have a peaceful reign with several development in a short time.

Ambassador Danmutaqqa highlighted some of his achievements so far within one year on the throne, and how he was able to change and re-established the face of the position with the exposure and administrative experience he had before he assumed the title.

‘Before being coronated as the Sarkin Samarin Yamma of the Seventeen (17) Southern States of Nigeria, by His Royal Highness, Mallam Dr. Haruna Maiyasin Katsina, Sarkin Sasa and Sardaunan Yamma, who is the Chairman, Council of Arewa Traditional Chiefs in Seventeen (17) Southern States of Nigeria, so many critics arose with lots of criticisms, pressure and challenges, in order for me not get the title. But to the Glory of Allah, I was blessed and given the title.

When I take up the role of Sarkin Samarin Yamma of the Seventeen (17) Southern States of Nigeria, I was not sure how activities and events would pan out over the following months. All I knew was that I was fully prepared in my vision and determination to make a difference in the lives and well-being of my people’, he recalled

‘I was clear about where I wanted to lead the Youth populace in the Southern States. I had my goals and mapped out, and how I was going to measure our achievements as we progress. At every opportunity I made it clear to everyone what my priorities were; human capacity development of our people, and socio-economic development across our communities’, he added

‘Each time that I talked about this, I make sure to also quickly emphasise that the foundation for achieving these goals is hinged on our ability to unite as a people, and how well we are able to build good relationships with our neighbours’, Danmutaqqa emphaised

The youthful chief looking back in the last one year declared that he was satisfied with the support and cooperation being enjoyed from his subjects, who he said contributed immensely for the successes.

‘I had no insight as to what structure was on ground, nor on the resources that would be available to work with. I was pleasantly surprised how quickly and easily we were able to get everyone that mattered onboard. Indeed, a good product will sell itself, provided people need or want it, and it has features that people can see working’, he stated

‘I am filled with joy and happiness. My people are my support. With the right support, you can surmount any obstacle. This wise saying couldn’t be truer, considering what I experienced since my ascension to the throne as the Sarkin Samarin Yamma of the Seventeen (17) Southern States’, he added

He reiterated that his reign within the period of a year has achieved a lot of important milestones, for which he is proud of, adding that he has confidence that the community can achieve a lot more in the future.

‘We need enormous support for our initiatives, both from home and abroad. My experience over the last 12 months, has confirmed my strong belief that when the conditions are conducive, Nigerians are generally good natured’, he stated

‘Certainly, credit for the successes which we have recorded so far, is due to the good support and contributions that we have received. From people who believe in our vision and trust in our plans, and who have supported us with resources to actualize our programmes’, Danmutaqqa stressed

The youthful chief, however, dedicated all achievements to his subjects, adding that his reign has touched the lives of the people in many positive ways. Notable achievements include community development and social well-being, war against drugs abuse, alternative dispute resolution, mental health advocacy among others.

“I have changed the perceptions of my people that, there is no chief without subjects. I have also change their perception about the traditional institution and cultural norms, and allow my subordinates to always feel free and enjoy themselves so that they will not be scared of telling me the truth.

"Furthermore, I am commending all those who attended my coronation and reception. Truth need be told, the title isn't mine alone, rather it is for all the youths, and I promise to be available to support and associate with all the Royal Fathers across board.

The Peace Ambassador, admonished the youth to discover themselves, be disciplined and focus, promising to bring prosperity, class, elegance, glamour, grandeur, panache and exceptional opportunities to the youth populace.

While holding this title, Danmutaqqa was nominated as Patron and Ambassador against Fake News, Brand Ambassador of A5 Global Logistics and Travel Ltd, bagged Honorary Doctorate Degree in Peace and Conflict Resolution, from EDEXCEL University, Port Novo, among others.

Kehinde Joseph, INEC Decries Poor Turnout On Voters' Registration In Lagos

-- Appeals To Adult Residents of the State to Participate in the Continuous Voters' Registration

-- Enjoin them to Vote in the Coming General Election

Ahead of next year general elections in Nigeria, the Lawmaker representing Alimosho Constituency II, in the ninth (9th) Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon Kehinde Olaide Joseph, has appealed to all qualified residents of the State to participate in the ongoing continuous voters' registration.

Kehinde Joseph reiterated this yesterday, Thursday, June 30, 2022, during the eighth (8th) Annual Constituency Stakeholders' Meeting held simultaneously by Lawmakers across the State.

Addressing the Stakeholders in his Alimosho Constituency II, Kehinde Joseph noted that the theme of the stakeholders' meeting, "2023 General Election: The Imperatives of Permanent Voters' Cards", was succinctly apt as the nation matches towards the elections.

Kehinde Joseph, lamented that over one million Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) of Lagosians still remain uncollected. Not only that, the low turnout of intending voters in the ongoing voters' registration exercise in Lagos State is worrisome too.

Kehinde Joseph, implored the political groups, religious bodies, traditional societies, markets and rights leaders to mobilize and educate the citizenry towards the consciousness of such exercise, so that they can all vote in the general election next year.

The statement read that, Lagosians had failed to use the rare opportunity provided by the Independent National Electoral Commission's ongoing continuous voters registration exercise on the inevitable and indispensable need to obtain their voter's card in order to qualify to participate in the 2023 general elections.

"Let us not marginalize ourselves. It is an existential reality that Lagos State has low turnout unlike Kano, Delta, Bayelsa et al.

"Worthy of note is that the race for different political offices has begun and politics is a game of number. It is pertinent to note that for us to actualize the much needed, we must influence every adult and youth to obtain their voter's card as a veritable weapon to enthroned good governance and dethroned bad leadership.

"Unfortunately, we feel unconcerned and comfortable. I am passionately appealing to us all to come out from our comfort zones and go to our respective families, political zones and wards to enlighten and mobilize citizenry and residents to obtain our Voter's Card. One will not only be a docile follower but a threat to good governance and our political evolution.

"I am using this medium to enjoin the INEC, National Orientation Agency (NOA) in our various LG/LCDAs to carryout aggressive enlightenment campaign to ensure that all citizenry suffrage registered and registration process and collection of Voters' card should be made less cumbersome", he maintained.

Wooden Bridge Linking Part Of Egbe-Idimu and Ayobo-Ipaja LCDA Respectively Set To Be Constructed.

By Olayiwola Rasheed Jebba Hamilton.

Wednesday January 21, 2022.

In the furtherance of the pursuit of his legislative function to give quality representation to his people, sparing no effort and with deep passion, the Lawmaker representing the good people of Alimosho Constituency II, also doubles as the Chairman House Committee on Agriculture, in the ninth (9th) Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon Kehinde Olaide Joseph had influenced the construction of the wooden link bridge in his Constituency due to the well articulated and overwhelming motion he moved on the floor of the House for the urgent construction of the wooden link bridge by the State Government and it relevant agencies to link the feeder roads between Abegunrin, Idowu-Egba, Pako community to Ketu community of Egbe-Idimu and Ayobo respectively.

The idea behind this move according to Hon Joseph is to boost the overall economic activities and ease the movement of the people of that area as the wooden and locally constructed bridge had suffered neglect since decades of its existence and had brought untold hardship to the people.

Hon Joseph in his speech stated that, "our people are not asking for too much, they only need little support on their own and the quest to create this support through my strategic engagement with the State Government is what I was elected by our people to work on.

"Here is our ongoing effort to connect Abegunrin, Idowu-Egba, Pako and Ketu communities with a bridge because it's in our effort to strengthen the economy by deliberately filling the infrastructural gap which will help activate and expand the economic activities within and around our communities.

"When this bridge is connected properly, those within this part of the community can access the other community within few minutes instead of what it's used to be.

"Urban/Rural Development will fuel economic growth and we are mindful of this reality", he stressed.

The representative of the CCECC company that visited the site said work will commence on Monday.

With him at the site were Hon Bisi Yusuff, Member, House of Assembly representing Alimosho Constituency (I), Hon Lukman Agbaje, Erstwhile Secretary of Ayobo-Ipaja Local Council Development Area, Team of Engineers from CCECC among others.
