 FEDERAL MINISTRY OF INFORMATION AND NATIONAL ORIENTATION  PRESS STATEMENT  BINANCE FALSE CLAIM ON BRIBERY DIVERSIONARY  The Federal Government of Nigeria is aware of attempts by Binance to launder its impaired image as an organisation that does not play by the rules and laws guiding business conduct in sovereign nations. In a blog post that has now been published by many international media organisations, in an apparent well-coordinated public relations effort, Binance Chief Executive Officer Richard Teng made false allegations of bribery against unidentified Nigerian government officials who he claimed demanded $150m in cryptocurrency payments to resolve the ongoing criminal investigation against the company.  This claim by Binance CEO lacks any iota of substance. It is nothing but a diversionary tactic and an attempted act of blackmail by a company desperate to obfuscate the grievous criminal charges it is facing in Nigeria.

LAGOS IS COMMITTED TO PROMOTING INDIGENOUS CULTURE - GM/CEO, ARTS & CULTURE


The General Manager/Chief Executive Officer of Lagos State Council of Arts and Culture, Mr. Idowu John has reiterated that the council aims to promote, propagate and establish the indigenous culture of the people of Lagos State.

Mr. Idowu stated this during the Grand finale of the week-long Kayokayo festival held in Epe, where members of the community gathered to commemorate the grand entry of King Kosoko and his warlords into Eko-Epe in 1851.

While commending the paramount ruler, Olu-Epe of Epe kingdom, Oba Shefiu Adewale, the GM mentioned that the Oba has been resilient in sustaining and transforming the celebration over the years and the festival is one of the best ways to tell the story of the people of Eko-Epe and a way to unite the people despite their socio-economic background.

"We have been assessing Kayokayo festival for years and we aim to take it to a higher pedestal so that people watching from the diaspora will be moved to come down and be part of the yearly celebration", the GM said

He further disclosed that by December, a more elaborate festival will be held across the state to usher in the new year as well as attract tourists to Lagos.

Dr. Akeem Shittu, Permanent Board Member (SUBEB), who was also present during the event, commended the state government for its continuous support of promoting the cultural heritage of the people which has brought more economic development to the community.

However, he urged all sons and daughters of Epe living in the diaspora to continue to give the festival more support as they make themselves available.

Oba Almeed Adejoro, the Olu of Araranmi, Elerongbe of Ibeju- Lekki, opined that one of the best ways to promote peace and harmony in any community is to have the people come together under one umbrella to wine and dine and Kayokayo Festival affords such opportunity.

He, on behalf of Olu-Epe, prayed for good health, long life and economic sustainability for the people, adding that with God's help, the present economic situation and hardship experienced by all will soon pass away.
