President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been urged to resign from his capacity as Petroleum Minister by the Resource Centre for Human Rights and Civic Education (CHRICED).

The group maintained that a trained specialist capable of spearheading urgently needed reforms in the industry should hold the position.

Victor Emejuiwe, the CHRICED Program Manager, made this announcement in a press release on Monday in honor of the International Day of Social Justice.

“The President ought to resign from his position as Petroleum Minister and think about designating a capable Nigerian who possesses the required knowledge to carry out reforms in the petroleum industry.

This shift is important for a number of reasons. First, Nigeria’s economy depends heavily on the petroleum industry, and its efficient administration necessitates a leader with both technical expertise and a thorough comprehension of the intricacies and difficulties the sector faces.

The government may guarantee that the industry is run with the utmost professionalism and integrity by selecting a qualified candidate. The statement partially states that such a shift would make it easier to administer the industry, which has long struggled with problems of corruption, poor management, and inefficiency, in a more open and responsible manner.

The center claims that a committed specialist may contribute new ideas and creative solutions, creating an atmosphere where responsibility is valued and stakeholders can have faith that the nation’s resources are being used efficiently for the good of all Nigerians.

It is crucial that future appointments in the petroleum industry, as well as in all other areas of administration, be made on the basis of merit, CHRICED continued.

This strategy fosters a culture of excellence and professionalism in addition to improving the caliber of leadership. Since it guarantees that all communities and regions in Nigeria are represented and have a say in the government process, upholding the federal character principles is equally crucial. In order to promote national unity and guarantee that the various demands of the populace are met, this inclusion is crucial.

U.S. President Donald Trump has voiced his dissatisfaction with Boeing for failing to fulfill its obligations under the contract to construct two new Air Force One aircraft on time.

Trump said that Boeing’s production of the two Air Force One planes is behind schedule.

Speaking from one of the presidential aircraft in service at the moment, Trump added that he is searching for other options because of Boeing’s hold-up.

“No, I’m not happy with Boeing,” Trump stated. We awarded that contract to Air Force One a long time ago, but they take a long time to complete it.

“We might get or purchase a plane, or something.”

Trump responded, “No, I would not consider Airbus over Boeing, but I could buy one that was used and convert it,” when asked if he would consider purchasing from Airbus, Boeing’s rival.

During Trump’s first term in office, the deal for two upgraded versions of the presidential plane—based on the contemporary Boeing 747-8—was negotiated.

Trump visited a 13-year-old Boeing 747-800 parked at Palm Beach International Airport a few days ago. The aircraft had belonged to the Qatari royal family.

Boeing has delayed the delivery of its new aircraft, which was originally scheduled for 2024, to 2027 or 2028.

Following his diagnosis of pneumonia in both lungs, Pope Francis, a Catholic, reportedly slept well and ate breakfast on Wednesday morning, according to the Vatican.

Francis spent a calm fifth night in Gemelli Hospital in Rome, according to Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni.

According to him, the Pope is still in a good mood and appreciates the prayers for his healing.

Bruni revealed this to Fox News, saying: “He woke up and had breakfast after having a peaceful night.”

The Vatican said on Tuesday that Francis, who suffered pneumonia in both lungs as a child, had had the upper lobe of his right lung removed.

According to the report, the Pope’s clinical state, chest X-ray, and laboratory results “continue to present a complex picture.”

According to the Vatican, the use of antibiotic cortisone therapy to treat the polymicrobial infection that developed on a picture of bronchiectasis and asthmatiform bronchitis complicates the therapeutic treatment.

“The Holy Father’s chest CT scan this afternoon revealed the onset of bilateral pneumonia, necessitating additional pharmacological treatment.”

After a week of worsening bronchitis, Francis was brought to the hospital on Friday in “fair” condition.

The hospital diagnosed him with a polymicrobial respiratory tract infection on Monday, meaning that his respiratory tract was colonized by a combination of bacteria, viruses, and potentially other organisms.
