Buhari Wants France And Nigeria To Deepen Anti-Terror Cooperation To Fight Terrorism

President BUHARI wants France and Nigeria to deepen anti-terror cooperation to fight groups such as Boko Haram.

He made the remark in an article published in a leading Paris-based magazine, Le Point.

The President is currently in Paris to attend the African Finance Summit hosted by French President, EMMANUEL MACRON.

He said Nigeria and France must overcome this scourge of terror particularly in the aftermath of the murder of the late President of Chad, IDRISS DEBY.

The President also solicited cooperation across the borders to check infiltration of criminal groups into the country.

Buhari Seeks Senate Approval For Fresh N2.3trn External Loan

The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has asked the Senate to approve another N2.3trillion ($6.18bn) external loan.

This is contained in a letter addressed to the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, and read at plenary on Tuesday.

Buhari said the proposed loan which is equivalent to N2.3trillion is to finance the 2021 budget deficit of N5.6 trillion.

Buhari said the loan would enable the Federal Government to fund critical infrastructural projects in transportation, health, and education among others.

This is coming barely a month after the Senate approved the sum of $1.5bn and €995 million external borrowings for the Federal Government.

The loans were part of the $5.5 billion and €995 million external borrowings Buhari had, in May 2020, asked the Red Chamber to approve to finance various priority projects of the federal government and to support the state governments facing fiscal challenges.

May 17, 2021 Gynecologist Denies Belief That Most Babies Are Born At Night

Gynecologist Denies Belief That Most Babies Are Born At Night

The consultant said there was no medical reason indicating that deliveries were more at night, adding that labour and delivery could happen anytime “but because the night is usually quiet, deliveries often draw more attention from the public.”

“I can say that deliveries happen round the clock, the event that actually leads to labour or delivery of a pregnant woman does not have any relationship to weather it is bright or dark.

“As health workers, we work round the clock and that is why we know that deliveries happen all the time and that is why doctors and health workers in the maternity unit will have to work all the time.

“Labours or delivery does not announce itself, when a woman is in labour, she cannot control it, it is an involuntary action and not something that is within her control,” the consultant said.

He noted that the reason why people had the misconception that more babies were born at night was because the night was meant for humans to rest, “so, if anything happens around that time, people tend to misinterpret that it is more at night than during the day.”
