The Federal Government, under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is dedicated to fostering youth empowerment and sustainable development, according to Nuru Kobi, a representative of the National Orientation Agency (NOA) in Abuja. Speaking during the Hausa Fulani Youth Development and Orientation Forum’s (HAFYDOF) 2024 Annual Conference in Kaduna, Kobi highlighted the government’s initiatives targeting youth development. He emphasized that NOA campaigns actively discourage the harmful “get-rich-quick” mindset among young people, encouraging them to embrace sustainable and responsible opportunities. Kobi pointed out the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) as a critical resource for students facing financial challenges. “Over 70,000 students have already accessed NELFUND to continue their education,” Kobi noted, adding that many more students could benefit from this initiative to complete their studies. The NOA, in collaboration with NELFUND, plans to extend outreach to remote areas across Nigeria, raising awareness about the program and its benefits. In addition, Kobi discussed the Nigerian Youth Investment Fund (NYIF), a government initiative with a funding pool of approximately ₦110 billion. The NYIF is designed to support entrepreneurial and skill-driven youth, providing financial backing to help them create sustainable livelihoods. Kobi encouraged Nigerian youths to take full advantage of these programs, which are tailored to alleviate economic hardship and promote long-term development. Addressing broader concerns, HAFYDOF National President AbdulAziz Tibibi called for urgent solutions to the country’s multifaceted challenges, particularly in northern Nigeria, urging collective efforts to resolve these issues.

Police Arrest Suspected International Fraudsters Over Forged Certificates in Lagos The Nigerian police in Zone 2, Onikan, Lagos, have apprehended two individuals suspected of forging certificates from various international and African universities. These suspects, identified as Elvis Osakpolo Edokpain (23) and Kelly Osas Endgieen (24), were also involved in extensive online fraud schemes that have enabled them to acquire luxury vehicles and properties across the country. Details of the Arrest The suspects’ fraudulent activities came to light following credible intelligence received by the Anti-Corruption Unit of Zone 2. Acting on this tip, the Assistant Inspector General of Police, Adegoke Fayoude, ordered an immediate investigation. Detectives tracked the suspects to Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, and subsequently trailed them to a five-star hotel in Lekki, Lagos. They were apprehended while attempting to flee. Upon searching their luggage, forged documents were discovered, including: Confession and Motive Under interrogation, the suspects admitted to procuring the forged certificates through a female accomplice in Ghana. The primary motive was to secure Ghanaian residence permits under the guise of being students. They revealed they had paid a total of 26,000 Ghana cedis (approximately ₦2 million) for the fake documents. The suspects further disclosed that their fraudulent schemes included online romance scams, impersonation, and using fake foreign bank accounts for fraudulent transactions, often referred to as “Facebook bombing.” How the Scam Worked The suspects posed as “Captain Donald Rowe,” an American soldier on a peacekeeping mission in Syria, to dupe unsuspecting victims online. They promised victims access to high-value goods supposedly stationed in Syria and collected payments through blockchain wallets or foreign accounts, which were later funneled into Nigerian bank accounts. Their victims, primarily from Japan, Denmark, and China, were lured into transferring funds under false pretenses. Attempted Bribery and Ongoing Investigation During interrogation, the suspects attempted to bribe the police with ₦66 million, which was recovered as evidence. The police are now collaborating with the Ghanaian embassy and Interpol to apprehend other members of the syndicate operating internationally. Lessons for the Public The suspects admitted to turning to fraud due to financial hardship but urged youths to avoid shortcuts and work hard to achieve success. They regretted their actions and warned others against similar paths. READ ALSO: Follow the LMSINT MEDIA channel on WhatsApp: Join Our WhatsApp Group Hear: Chat on WhatsApp Join our Telegram Chanel.

The skyrocketing prices of goods and services have also impacted the fees for end-of-year school parties, leaving many parents and students reconsidering their participation. These events, traditionally designed to celebrate the achievements of students, staff, and school authorities, now face dwindling attendance as costs become prohibitive. Typically, schools charge reasonable fees for these parties to cover expenses like gift items, food, drinks, and other necessities. These celebrations have been a cherished occasion where children and parents showcase new outfits, academic brilliance, and even financial prosperity. However, this year, many families have had to skip these events due to economic pressures. With expenses piling up for Christmas festivities, school accessories, and the upcoming term’s fees, the burden of additional costs for these parties has become too much for many to bear. Soaring Fees Turn Parents Away An investigation revealed that many schools raised party fees by more than 50%, making it unaffordable for families with multiple children. For example, Mrs. Folakemi Ifaleke, a banker, expressed frustration about her children’s school increasing the fee from ₦5,000 to ₦15,000 per child. With three sons, the total cost would have been ₦45,000. “I told my boys to choose between Christmas clothes and the party,” she said. “They picked Christmas clothes and didn’t even mind skipping the party because most of their classmates also weren’t attending.” Similarly, Mr. Jerry Nwokoma, a motor parts trader, faced a hefty bill of ₦90,000 for his four children. “When my wife informed me, I jokingly asked her to sell my head to raise the money,” he said. His children opted out of the party, and he promised them a family outing instead. Schools Respond with Cost-Cutting Measures While some schools struggled with low attendance, others adapted by reducing party costs. Mrs. Chisom Akpota, a teacher, shared that her school lowered the fee from ₦5,000 to ₦3,000. “Even with the reduced fee, only 20 out of 70 pupils paid,” she noted. The school organized a simple celebration with snacks, drinks, and awards for best-performing pupils during the morning assembly. “The children sang, danced, and were happy with what we provided.” In contrast, some schools canceled their parties altogether due to poor turnout. Balancing Costs and Expectations Mrs. Omosefunmi Grace, a school proprietress, explained the dilemma schools face. “Things are expensive in the market. If we charge the same fee as last year, parents complain about the quality of the event. If we increase the fee, parents complain about affordability.” Despite the struggles, her school held its party with limited participation. This growing trend highlights the financial challenges families and schools face during these economically strained times. Parents are prioritizing essentials, while schools are left balancing rising costs with parental expectations.

IntroductionAs Nigeria grapples with rising debt levels, the Federal Government (FG) has significantly exceeded its domestic borrowing target for 2024. With President Bola Tinubu poised to present the 2025 national budget to the National Assembly, borrowing remains a critical issue. The FG has already surpassed its 2024 borrowing limit by N4 trillion—67% higher than initially planned—raising concerns about the sustainability of Nigeria’s debt profile and its broader economic implications. A Closer Look at 2024 Borrowing Trends The Federal Government’s domestic borrowing activities between January and November 2024 reveal an alarming trend. According to reports, the FG borrowed N8.93 trillion in just 11 months, far exceeding the N6 trillion planned for the entire year. Projections indicate that total borrowing for 2024 could reach N10 trillion, representing a 67% overshoot of the year’s target. Breakdown of Borrowing SourcesKey data from the Debt Management Office (DMO) and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) highlight the distribution of borrowing activities: Further, in October and November, the FG raised an additional N774.953 billion through NTBs and N635.752 billion via FGN Bonds, with Savings Bonds contributing N7.152 billion. 2024 Debt Stock and Its ImplicationsBy the end of the first half of 2024 (H1 2024), the FG’s domestic debt stock reached N66.957 trillion—a 38.6% increase compared to H1 2023. Treasury Bills accounted for a significant share of this rise, with borrowing through NTBs surging to N11.8 trillion in H1 2024 from N4.7 trillion in H1 2023. The dominance of FGN Bonds was evident, constituting 78.13% of total FG borrowing during the period, climbing to N52.315 trillion from N41.722 trillion in H1 2023. Savings Bonds and Sukuk Bonds also recorded increases, albeit at a smaller scale. The Fiscal Outlook for 2025The Federal Government plans to finance the 2025 budget deficit—estimated at N9.22 trillion—through domestic and external borrowing, privatization proceeds, and multilateral loans. Analysts warn that this reliance on borrowing is unsustainable, particularly with domestic borrowing likely to dominate due to limited external financing opportunities. Economic Concerns: Insights from Analysts Experts have expressed concerns about the FG’s rising debt levels and borrowing costs: Dr. Muda Yusuf, CEO of the Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise (CPPE), highlighted the risk of overheating the economy due to excessive borrowing. He noted that while debt funded through Treasury Bills or bonds is less inflationary, it still exerts significant pressure on the private sector. Moving Forward: Policy Recommendations Victor Chiazor, Head of Research at Fidelity Securities Limited, urged the FG to ensure that borrowing supports initiatives that stimulate economic growth and stabilize exchange rates. ConclusionThe FG’s overshooting of its 2024 borrowing target by N4 trillion underscores the urgent need for fiscal discipline and a strategic approach to debt management. As Nigeria prepares for the 2025 budget, policymakers must balance borrowing needs with sustainable economic growth to avoid further economic challenges.

In a major victory against banditry in Nigeria’s Northwest, troops from the 1 Brigade of the Nigerian Army have captured a notorious bandit leader and arms dealer, Bako Wurgi, also known as Baka NaGarba. Wurgi has been linked to the brutal murder of the Emir of Gobir, Isa Mohammad Bawa, in Sokoto State. The arrest was announced by Zagazola Makama, a counterterrorism expert specializing in the Lake Chad Basin, on his verified X (formerly Twitter) handle on Sunday. According to Makama, the operation that led to Wurgi’s capture occurred on Saturday. Reports revealed that Wurgi had sustained multiple injuries, including cuts and gunshot wounds, during a clash with a rival group. He was apprehended while receiving treatment at a hospital in Shinkafi town, Zamfara State. “Intelligence sources informed me that troops arrested Wurgi at the hospital after learning he was transported there with severe injuries,” Makama shared. While two of Wurgi’s accomplices managed to escape during the operation, another individual, who had transported him to the hospital using a tricycle, was apprehended. Connection to the Sokoto Emir’s Murder The late Emir of Gobir was abducted on July 9, 2024, in the Sabon Birnin Local Government Area of Sokoto State. After failed ransom negotiations, the Emir was tragically murdered on August 22. “Wurgi played a central role in the kidnapping and eventual killing of the Emir,” Makama disclosed. “The ransom negotiations, which involved demands for cash and motorcycles, collapsed, leading to the Emir’s death.” Wurgi’s Role in Banditry Networks Beyond his involvement in the murder, Wurgi is reportedly a key figure in an extensive arms smuggling network with international links. He is also said to be related to another infamous bandit leader, Bello Turji, through his grandfather. Adding to his family’s involvement in criminal activities, Wurgi’s son, Sani Duna, allegedly serves as a getaway biker for Turji. A Significant Breakthrough The capture of Bako Wurgi is being celebrated as a crucial step in the fight against terrorism and banditry plaguing the region. Security forces are currently holding Wurgi at an undisclosed location while intensifying efforts to track down his fleeing accomplices. The operation highlights the Nigerian Army’s ongoing commitment to dismantling criminal networks and restoring peace to the region.

Poultry farmers in Oyo State are bracing for reduced chicken sales during the upcoming Christmas season, citing economic challenges and rising production costs as the primary causes. According to Mr. Josiah Adebola, Chairman of the Livestock and Poultry Farmers Union (LPFU) in Oyo State, the cost of poultry feed, drugs, and other farming essentials has surged significantly, putting many farmers in a tight spot. In a statement given to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ibadan, Adebola highlighted that the increasing cost of production is forcing some poultry farmers to abandon the business altogether. Those still in the trade are struggling to stay afloat, and they anticipate hiking chicken prices to recover their expenses. High Chicken Prices May Affect Demand Adebola explained that due to the economic hardship faced by many Nigerians, the higher prices of chicken could lead to reduced demand during the festive season. He warned that many consumers might resort to purchasing imported frozen chicken and turkey, despite the potential health risks associated with these products. “Many farmers are struggling to make ends meet under these circumstances. With the rising costs, there’s no way chicken prices won’t increase. Unfortunately, this will discourage many Nigerians from buying live poultry,” he said. The Call for Support To address these challenges, Adebola appealed to charitable organizations, churches, and philanthropists to support local poultry farmers by buying chickens for distribution to the less privileged during the holiday season. Additionally, he urged the government to introduce favorable economic policies to ease the burden on farmers and promote growth in the agricultural sector. The Future of Poultry Farming The current situation paints a grim picture for poultry farming in Oyo State, but with adequate support and policy intervention, the industry could recover. Consumers are encouraged to prioritize locally sourced chicken to support farmers and ensure food safety during the festive season.

The Nigerian Police Force has exposed a scandal involving four officers who attempted to divert ₦43.16 million out of ₦74.9 million in cash they intercepted while allegedly conducting a security operation. This revelation, confirmed by the Force Public Relations Officer ACP Muyiwa Adejobi, follows a thorough investigation into the incident at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on August 26, 2023. The Incident: What Happened? On the day in question, officers from Zone 7 Headquarters, led by DSP Peter Ejike, intercepted cash totaling ₦74,950,000 being transported by an employee of FATFAD Cargo Nigeria Limited, Mr. Andrew Ejah. Acting without proper authorization, the officers detained Ejah and misrepresented the amount recovered, claiming it was ₦31.79 million. Instead of reporting the incident through official channels, the officers conspired to siphon ₦43.16 million and attempted to conceal their actions by claiming a percentage of the declared amount from the money’s owners. Their misconduct included tampering with evidence and detaining Ejah unlawfully. Force Headquarters’ Response After receiving a petition from the owners of the money, the matter was escalated to the Inspector-General of Police Monitoring Unit for investigation. Key findings included: Sanctions and Further Actions The implicated officers were suspended for misconduct, including abuse of office, tampering with evidence, and corrupt practices. Disciplinary proceedings have been initiated, and they will face prosecution once the process concludes. The Force’s Stand on the Allegations The Force Headquarters has firmly refuted allegations that the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, is shielding corrupt officers or currency smugglers. According to ACP Adejobi, these accusations are baseless attempts to discredit the police reforms aimed at fostering professionalism and integrity within the institution. The Force urged the public to disregard false narratives aimed at diverting attention from the criminal acts of the officers involved. Key Takeaways This incident highlights the importance of accountability in law enforcement. While the actions of a few officers have tainted the image of the Force, the leadership’s prompt and transparent handling of the case underscores its commitment to upholding justice. By continuing to expose and address corruption, the Nigerian Police Force seeks to rebuild public trust and maintain its integrity. Keywords:
