 Texas woman charged with medical child abuse for falsifying toddler’s health and pushing unnecessary feeding tube surgeries A Texas woman has been charged with medical child abuse after allegedly falsifying her toddler’s medical history to pressure doctors into performing unnecessary procedures, including feeding tube surgeries, in what authorities are calling a “sickening” case. Kaitlyn Rose Laura, 31, faces charges of injury to a child and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Officials said she deliberately misled medical staff about her 3-year-old son’s health to obtain a gastrostomy tube and later a gastrojejunostomy tube, despite no documented medical need. Investigators allege that hospital staff observed the boy eating normally while Laura claimed he refused all food.

Nigeria’s public debt hits N87.91trn: DMO releases Q3 2023 report

The Debt Management Office (DMO) has revealed that Nigeria’s public debt has surged to N87.91 trillion at the conclusion of the third quarter of 2023. This disclosure came through an official statement posted on the DMO’s verified Twitter handle on Wednesday.

The provided figures indicate a marginal uptick of 0.61%, compared to the N87.38 trillion recorded at the end of June 2023. The DMO further elaborated that the increase was predominantly attributable to a rise in domestic debt by N1.8 trillion.

In a noteworthy contrast, the external debt showed a reduction, declining from $43.16 billion as of June 30, 2023, to $41.59 billion by the end of the third quarter. This nuanced shift in the composition of Nigeria’s debt profile reveals a dynamic economic landscape, with implications for fiscal strategies and debt management policies in the coming months.

The statement reads, “The Total Public Debt as at September 30, 2023, was N87.91 Trillion or USD114.35 Billion.

“The amount represents the Domestic and External Debts of the Federal Government of Nigeria, the thirty-six State Governments, and the Federal Capital Territory.

“At N87.91 Trillion, the Total Public Debt Stock represents a marginal increase of 0.61% when compared to the June 30, 2023 figure of 87.38 Trillion.

“This trend is explained by the decrease in External Debt from USD43.16 Billion as at June 30, 2023, to USD41.59 Billion as at September 30, 2023, and a relatively moderate increase of N1.80 trillion in the Domestic Debt.

“External Debt decreased due to a redemption of a USD500 million Eurobond and the payment of USD413.859 million as first principal repayment of the USD3.4 Billion Loan obtained from the International Monetary Fund in 2020 during Covid-19.”

“The servicing of these Debts in addition to other Debts, are clear demonstrations of the FGN’s commitment to honouring its debt obligations.”

The DMO’s report underscores the ongoing challenges faced by the country in managing its debt, amid efforts to balance economic development initiatives and financial stability.

As Nigeria navigates the complexities of its debt dynamics, policymakers and economic analysts will closely scrutinize these figures for insights into the nation’s fiscal health and sustainability.
