 U.N chief Guterres calls for countries fueling Sudan's war to be held accountable United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called on Wednesday for countries providing weapons to the warring parties in Sudan that are used to attack civilians to be held accountable. "What is happening in Sudan is absolutely horrible. The humanitarian situation in Sudan is devastating. The level of suffering of the Sudanese people is intolerable," Guterres told reporters ahead of the annual gathering of world leaders at the United Nations in New York next week.

 ‘Kidnappers are on break, bandits on holiday’, Ngige lauds naira redesign 


30 March 2023 

 

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige says the naira redesign policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) achieved some “sound benefits” as it curbed insecurity and vote buying during the 2023 general elections.


The minister, who spoke on Wednesday during Channels Television’s Politics Today programme, however, admitted that the implementation of the policy was not smooth.


Ngige said, “The policy is not smooth in its implementation. I admitted that. But whether it is a good policy? Yes, it is a good policy.


“It wasn’t smooth; it came with some pain but overall, did we get some sound benefits from it? Yes, we did: people didn’t buy votes on the line (queue) during the elections.


“I used to go for elections and I know what I see. There was no cash exchange for votes. It wasn’t easy anymore. Kidnappers are on break, they are strike so to say or recess. Bandits, they have also gone on holidays," he added.


On the shelved strike by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), the minister said the apex bank has released cash into the society and that the pain experienced by Nigerians will ease off in the days to come.  (Channels TV)
