Happy morning! The summary from Nigerian Newspapers for today is as follows:
1. On Tuesday, December 13, 2022, the House of Senate will consider the most recent Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) regulation regarding cash withdrawal limitations. In a point of order during the Wednesday plenary, Senate Minority Leader Aduda Phillip called attention to the CBN’s new policy and urged care because it will have an impact on many people, particularly small company owners.
2. The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offenses Commission (ICPC) has been invited to investigate the alleged fraud in the N-Power program, according to information provided by the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management, and Social Development. Reports claim that singer D’banj conspired with some government representatives to add fictitious beneficiaries to the program’s payroll.
3. Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the APC’s presidential candidate, has come under fire from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for questioning the validity of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System and Results Viewing Portal, which will be used for the 2023 election. The APC candidate’s criticism of the technology’s efficacy shocked the commission.
4. Yesterday, former president Goodluck Jonathan declared he will never run for office again. He claimed that if he decided to start lobbying people and running for office once more, he would be devaluing himself.
5. Mr. Emmanuel Sanwo-Olu, a 27-year-old father of three, filed a lawsuit before the Delta State High Court 2 in Effurun, Uvwie Local Government Area, requesting that the court recognise Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the governor of Lagos State, as his father. According to the young man’s mother, the governor is his father.
