Federal Government Helps Anambra’s Poor with Rice, Fertilizers, PoS Machines, and Gas Cylinders
The Federal Government has taken significant steps to support the less privileged in Anambra State by distributing essential items to improve their living conditions.
Over 5,000 bags of rice, each weighing 10 kg, have been delivered to families struggling to make ends meet.
This rice will provide a vital source of nutrition, helping to alleviate food insecurity in the area.
In addition to rice, the government has also distributed 500 bags of fertilizer.
This will benefit local farmers, enabling them to enhance their crop yields and improve their livelihoods.
With better access to quality fertilizer, farmers can cultivate healthier plants, which will lead to increased food production in the region.
Furthermore, the initiative includes the distribution of 500 Point of Sale (PoS) machines.
This move aims to improve financial inclusion and access to banking services for residents, especially in rural areas where traditional banking is limited.
By facilitating cashless transactions, these PoS machines will empower local entrepreneurs and enable them to expand their businesses.
To top it off, 300 gas cylinders have also been provided.
These cylinders will not only supply clean cooking energy for households but also promote safer cooking practices, reducing the reliance on firewood and other harmful fuels.
This initiative by the Federal Government highlights its commitment to uplifting vulnerable communities in Anambra State and fostering sustainable development through various means, including agricultural support, financial empowerment, and enhanced energy access.
The distribution of these vital resources is expected to make a meaningful difference in the lives of many residents, promoting self-sufficiency and improving overall community welfare.
The Police Service Commission approves the promotion of 8053 police officers in the Nigeria Police Force. On Monday 11 commissioners were promoted to Assistant Inspectors General while 16 Deputy Commissioners were moved to Commissioners.
Promotion also happened among the Assistant commissioners, Chief Superintendents, Deputy Superintended and so on.
Additional promotions included Aminu Mohammed Abdulkadir, Mohammed Yusuf Adamu of Base 3 SPU, and Isa Ibrahim Umuoru from Border Patrol. Officers such as Omoarebun Iluobe, CSO to the Delta State Governor, and Shaaba Gboyako Adamu, CSO to the Imo State Governor, were also promoted.
Westminster Magistrates Court has ruled against Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan, leading to the seizure of over £2 million from their accounts due to unpaid taxes linked to their online businesses.
The funds, held in seven frozen bank accounts, were traced to the Tates and a woman identified as J. Authorities allege the brothers funneled substantial sums, including cryptocurrency, through accounts in J’s name, despite her lack of involvement in their ventures.
Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring described the scheme as a “straightforward cheat of the revenue,” uncovering years of alleged tax evasion and money laundering. Devon and Cornwall Police revealed the brothers accrued millions between 2014 and 2022 without paying taxes or VAT.
Andrew Tate, however, criticized the ruling, claiming it is part of a “coordinated attack” to silence dissent. “This is not justice; it’s theft disguised as legal action,” Tate said in a statement.
The brothers are also facing separate criminal charges in Romania, including allegations of human trafficking and rape, and are set to be extradited to the UK.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio has defended President Bola Tinubu’s tax reforms, calling on critics to engage with the initiatives more thoughtfully.
Speaking during Tinubu’s presentation of the 2025 budget, Akpabio praised the four tax reform bills as a monumental step toward revitalizing Nigeria’s economy.
He described the reforms as the first comprehensive tax overhaul since independence, aimed at boosting revenue, supporting small businesses, and fostering sustainable development.
Akpabio criticized detractors for dismissing the reforms without understanding their potential impact and urged all Nigerians to embrace this transformative opportunity.
