He said, “Cospirators go through a lot of things in terms of protection.” This space is still expanding, they say. Policies that specifically take people in this area into account must be put in place in terms of protection. We need to know that the government is more than just rolling out initiatives and making promises in that way.

A time has come when we realize that the government is interested in creating digital content and influencers. They are subjected to harassment whenever they go out to shoot content. He asserted that if it were coming from law enforcement, it would be from the local population.

Devaluation of the Naira

Niyi Akinmolayan, a filmmaker from Nollywood, attributed the devaluation of the naira to the devaluation of the naira.

The guest filmmaker on the program claimed that the main reason the streamers left was due to the program’s decision to devalue the naira. He also attributed blame to the government for ignoring the effects of these streamers’ withdrawal.

We as filmmakers simply woke up and saw emails from the big streamers who had left the Netflix and Amazons and who were unaware of some of these changes, such as the government’s concern that these aren’t just some random companies, the government is aware, the government taxes these people, how come the government isn’t even aware of some of these changes?

“Typically, people will make movies because they are aware of the existence of a future revenue stream, but that has vanished. The government didn’t take any action to warn people that the reason they left was largely due to the devaluation of the naira and the fact that paying the price they were paying for the license became a big deal, according to Akinmolayan.

Toyin Kayo-Ajayi, the founder of the Canadian Black Farmers Association, asserts that if it uses its plentiful resources, Nigeria can compete internationally in the agricultural sector.

During Channels Television’s Youth Forum, a live interactive program, Kayo-Ajayi made the statement on Thursday.

He claimed that countries around the world are highly sought-after for agricultural products like yam and vegetables grown in Nigeria.

He declared, “I will tell all the youth that Nigeria will be a very beautiful, industrial country in the next ten years. Even so, I’m going to move back home.

“Nigeria has such a wonderful country. I had to make the conditions that Nigeria’s have here (in Canada). I’m going to pack it in bags and ship it across Canada because I just created loamy soil in Nigeria.

“We can control a lot of things globally with agriculture alone,” says Nigerian President. I’m researching whether or not our vegetables are herbs.

“I’m trying to grow yam in Canada,” I say. Although I must protect the environment, Nigeria has it in abundance.

He criticized the notion that farming was only available to those with academic success while describing his agricultural career.

What dissuaded me from farming in Nigeria was the instruction to me when I was in school that “you can’t become a farmer if you don’t study.” It sounded like a curse. &nbsp,

He continued, “I went to the farm with my grandparents from the age of five, six, and seven, and I saw the benefits of farming, which is a profession that will never go out of style.”

With the focus on “Pressing Issues Affecting Nigeria’s Youth,” the Youth Forum organizes discussions with experts and youth leaders on issues affecting young Nigerians in fields like business, education, health, industry, and other fields.

As President Bola Tinubu and several other governors in the state mark their second years in office, it provides a platform for youth engagement.

The House of Representatives Committee on Solid Minerals has threatened to make recommendations requesting that companies that run quarries across the nation revoke their mining licenses because they are operating illegally or by breaking legal deadlines.

Hon. Committee Chairman. At a hearing to examine the activities of Nigeria’s mining companies, Jonathan Gaza Gbefwi, from Keffi/Karu/Kokona, issued the warning. &nbsp,

He specifically instructed Arab Contractors and Omatek to either submit all necessary paperwork to the appropriate authorities to stop operating their quarryes right away.

Gbefwi, a representative for Nasarawa State, expressed disappointment that several quarry operators had refused to follow the Committee’s instructions and described their conduct as a flagrant disregard for the laws of the land.

He claimed that it is unacceptable for businesses to conduct business in Nigeria while breaking current laws and ignoring legislative oversight.

The Committee’s oversight of several quarry sites in the Federal Capital Territory, according to the lawmaker, revealed a déplorable state of affairs, particularly the failure of businesses to fulfill their commitments to community development.

He further revealed that only technical staff members from the companies he visited reside in Nigeria, while Managing Directors and senior executives, who are primarily foreigners, especially those from China, reside in their home countries.

Gbefwi stated that while we welcome foreign investment in Nigeria, “we will not tolerate a situation where host communities are deprived of the benefits promised under signed agreements.”

He continued, not obtaining the necessary approvals from the appropriate authorities, Arab Contractors was discovered operating an illegal quarry site.
