Breaking News: FG Gives Traders One-Month Ultimatum to Slash Prices or Face Enforcement

By Ayodele Ifasakin 

The Federal Government has issued a stern warning to traders and market stakeholders to reduce prices of goods and services nationwide within one month or face enforcement actions. 

The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) made the announcement at a stakeholders' engagement in Abuja, citing exorbitant pricing practices that threaten the economy.

Executive Vice Chairman Tunji Bello warned that violators face severe penalties, including fines and imprisonment, but emphasized that the approach is not punitive, urging stakeholders to cooperate and embrace patriotism.

The Market stakeholders attributed price hikes to factors like import charges, transportation costs, insecurity, and multiple taxation.

The FCCPC's move aims to curb illicit pricing practices, such as a fruit blender priced at $89 in the US but sold for N944,999 in Lagos. The commission will start firm enforcement after the one-month moratorium, and stakeholders are urged to comply to avoid severe consequences.

Breaking News: EFCC Uncovers How Emefiele Spent N18billion to Print N1billion Notes

 By Ayodele Ifasakin 

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has made a startling discovery, revealing that former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Godwin Emefiele, spent a whopping N18 billion to print a mere N1 billion worth of banknotes.

According to the EFCC's investigation, the scandalous contract was awarded to Swedish company, Crane Currency, in 2014, for the printing of N100 banknotes and 5000 acrylic blocks to commemorate Nigeria's centenary celebration.

The contract was allegedly inflated to $121,660,000.00 (N18,911,524,842.62), with Emefiele bypassing the CBN board and obtaining approval from former President Goodluck Jonathan without following due process.

A significant portion of the funds, $32,716,050.00, was converted to Naira and shared among top officials, with N5.3 billion initially distributed among the parties involved. However, the EFCC has since recovered N3,180,236,254.42 from those implicated in the scam.

The investigation has exposed a shocking abuse of office and corruption, with top CBN officials and their accomplices allegedly benefiting from the inflated contract. The EFCC's findings have sparked widespread outrage, with many calling for Emefiele and others involved to face justice.
