Falana Asks FG To Prosecute Emefiele Over Cash Crunch

Renowned human rights lawyer Femi Falana is urging the Federal Government to take legal action against the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, as well as the management of the apex bank in connection with the cash shortage experienced in the country earlier this year.

In a formal statement, the Senior Advocate of Nigeria contends that both Emefiele and the CBN provided misleading information to the Nigerian public regarding the availability of cash, attributing it to redesigning the nation's currency.

Falana is additionally advocating for the CBN to undertake the reconstruction of the bank facilities that dissatisfied customers damaged in the aftermath of the cash shortage triggered by the currency redesign policy.

Furthermore, he calls for the apex bank to compensate the families of individuals who lost their lives due to the resulting public unrest.

Two Hospitalised As 500-Room Lagos Building Collapses

At least two persons are currently battling for their lives at a private hospital after a building with over 500 rooms collapsed in the Ketu area of Lagos State.

They were rescued after the school-turned-residential building partially collapsed on Saturday.

The building, housing hundreds of residents located at Agboye Estate on Oduntan Street, Ketu, first caved in on Saturday afternoon following hours of rainfall that greeted most parts of Lagos.

On Sunday afternoon, as residents were still trying to salvage their belongings, the building crumbled again, destroying another structure inside the compound before collapsing completely.

The development sent panic across the area, forcing hundreds of families and individuals residing in the building to vacate the premises.

Dozens of residents were seen moving their belongings in different directions as the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) officials cordoned off the premises.

President Tinubu Embarks On First UN General Assembly Outing In New York

President Bola Tinubu has touched down in New York, USA, marking his inaugural appearance as the President of Nigeria at the United Nations (UN) General Assembly.

This year's UNGA centres on "Rebuilding Trust and Reigniting Global Solidarity: Accelerating Action on the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals towards peace, prosperity, progress, and sustainability for all."

Tinubu's arrival at JF Kennedy International Airport in New York was noted at approximately 6:45 pm local time. Leading the Nigerian delegation, he is set to partake in high-level discussions during the 78th session of UNGA, spanning from the 18th to the 26th of September.

In a departure from customary protocol, only three officials were present at the airport to welcome the President. At the same time, other Nigerian officials awaited his arrival at the UN Plaza Millenium Hilton Hotel.

Among those receiving President Tinubu were the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar, and two others. Tuggar confirmed that President Tinubu will deliver his inaugural address to the Assembly the following evening.

President Tinubu will be the fifth African leader to address the gathering on day one and the fourteenth speaker among the twenty leaders slated to speak on Tuesday.

Again, FG Invites NLC Over Union’s Indefinite Strike Plan

To address the impending indefinite strike due to the removal of fuel subsidies and prevailing hardships in the country, the Federal Government has extended an invitation to the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) once more.

This development was communicated by Olajide Oshundun, the Director of Press and Public Relations at the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment.

According to the statement, Minister Simon Lalong has instructed the Department of Trade Unions Services and Industrial Relations to facilitate a meeting with the leadership of NLC scheduled for Monday, September 18, 2023. Oshundun emphasised the significance of these discussions, emphasising the need for both parties to come together and address outstanding issues to prevent further economic disruption.

He further quoted the Minister reaffirming President Bola Tinubu's unwavering commitment to engaging with organised labour, considering their concerns through thorough consultations and negotiations. This approach is crucial in maintaining industrial harmony, a pivotal factor in realising the goals of the Renewed Hope Agenda.

It's worth noting that before this, the Minister had previously invited the NLC and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) for discussions to avert the two-day strike on September 5th and 6th. Regrettably, only the TUC participated in the meeting.
