Hate campaign against Nigeria’s judiciary
AS someone with a bit of insight into the workings of the Nigerian Judiciary, I can say unequivocally, that the ongoing hate rhetoric against the arm of government, is unprecedented and foreboding. And as those behind the orchestrated campaign ramp it up, the chord, binding Nigeria’s democracy, might just snap. But it looks like we are gradually getting there, with the resentment being daily generated among the populace against the Judiciary by the hate campaigners. Am I saying the Nigerian judiciary is perfect? Destroying the legitimacy of the Judiciary, won’t make anyone President.

Tinubu administration eyes investments rather than borrowing -finance minister
ABUJA, Aug 28 – Nigeria will seek to encourage investments rather than rely on borrowing to create jobs, Finance Minister Olawale Edun said on Monday, as the new government tries to find a solution to sluggish growth, double-digit inflation and a high debt burden. Edun, 62, who doubles as coordinating minister for the economy, was speaking to reporters in Abuja after president Bola Tinubu held his first meeting with his new cabinet following last week’s swearing-in of ministers. The reforms are a gamble to try to kick-start growth but inflation has soared, worsening a cost of living crisis. Edun, an ex-investment banker, who was special adviser to Tinubu on monetary policy before his appointment as minister, said he will focus on fixing Nigeria’s public finances. He added that the government’s naira revenues have increased from crude oil proceeds following a devaluation in June.
