 Family and neighbors mourn woman shot by ICE agent after making Minneapolis her home  Before she was fatally shot by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer, 37-year-old Renee Good had just dropped her youngest child off at an elementary school in Minneapolis, the city she and her family had recently begun to call home. As Trump administration officials continued Thursday to describe Good as a domestic terrorist who tried to ram federal agents with her Honda Pilot, those who knew her remembered someone very different: a gentle, kind, and openhearted mother, wife, and neighbor.

NIGERIA NEEDS SOUND FINANCIAL SYSTEM FOR DEVELOPMENT- BAGUDU. (PHOTO).


 Nigeria Needs Sound Financial System for development — Bagudu


Minister of Budget and Economic Planning Senator Abubakar Bagudu has said Nigeria needs to attract more resources than it has to fund its development agenda. For this to happen, the nation must develop a sound financial system with integrity


He spoke at the management retreat of the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit in Abuja noting that the 2050 Agenda of National Aspiration requires investment at least 100 billion dollars annually to achieve a GDP per capita of $33,000 or more by 2050.


The minister revealed that the current financing level is smaller than that but explained that President Bola Tinubu’s administration had undertaken bold and courageous economic reforms to boost its revenue. 

To buttress his point, he cited the $20 billion federal budget size, which he said was too small compared with other countries like Brazil and Indonesia, which have similar population sizes and have $750 billion and $210 billion budgets, respectively.


The minister explained that Nigeria needs a sound financial system to attract domestic and foreign investments to finance its development plan.


He stated that this was the role of the NFIU, which he said had performed creditably but needed to communicate its activities more effectively for the public to acknowledge.
