Shehu Sani Accuses World Bank of Prolonging Nigeria’s Hardship
Former Kaduna Central Senator Shehu Sani accused the World Bank on Wednesday of worsening the hardships faced by Nigerians. He claimed the organization plans for Nigeria’s struggles to continue for another 15 years before any relief is seen.
In a post on X, Sani wrote, “The World Bank wants hardship to last for 15 more years before we reach the promised land. But how many people will still be around to benefit? And how many African countries has the World Bank actually helped reach the promised land?” His remarks came after the World Bank reported that the Nigerian Naira was among the weakest currencies in sub-Saharan Africa by August 2024. The Naira, which declined by 43%, dropped alongside the Ethiopian Birr and South Sudanese Pound due to high dollar demand and low dollar inflow.
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
