[00:10:15] Thank you millions and exchange group is seeking
[00:10:19] deeper government support to expand Nigeria's capital markets and
[00:10:23] during a meeting with president. able at the state house in Abuja,
[00:10:27] the exchange said market-friendly reforms have helped drive investor
[00:10:30] confidence and projects the total value of companies listed on the
[00:10:34] NGX to reach about 230 trillion nara by the end of
[00:10:38] 2026. the group also calls for review the capital
[00:10:42] gains tax and urges the president to accelerate the
[00:10:44] privatization and stock market listing of strategic national
[00:10:48] assets to deepen the capital
[00:10:50] market.
[00:11:13] Uh, the first, Mr. President, is what we call privatization and
[00:11:16] listings. Uh, the markets that we have today really
[00:11:20] also came into light because of intentionality by government
[00:11:24] at the time. "you'd remember sir, in the 70s we had the
[00:11:27] indigenization program, many of your nestles and unileavers and these
[00:11:31] companies only came to the markets as result, mtn,
[00:11:35] the big telecommunications company that we talk about today, that's a big
[00:11:39] part the exchange, also only came as result of government efforts
[00:11:43] and we're asking Mr. President, firstly for your support in this
[00:11:47] regard, there are few companies that we have identified, companies like
[00:11:50] LMA, petrochemicals, like Indorama, these are companies.
[00:11:55] an NLNG, these are companies that somewhere in their clauses
[00:11:59] already are listing clauses for some them, or some them just in the hands of
[00:12:02] government to
[00:12:03] say, look, NLNG, let's list our stake on the exchange, or
[00:12:07] perhaps Indorama or LMA or some assets that the NNPC owns
[00:12:11] in his portfolio, so Mr. President, with your kind support, that would be
[00:12:14] one item that would really like your support
[00:12:18] around. In response,
[00:12:21] president says Nigeria has the capacity to build a $1
[00:12:25] trillion dollar economy, he also addresses the NGX call for more
[00:12:29] strategic national assets to be brought to the capital
[00:12:32] market. if we can
[00:12:36] support the private sector, it will be a great
[00:12:40] benefit, what are we
[00:12:44] producing that other nations we are, how
[00:12:48] do we collaborate with other countries, how
[00:12:51] do we get this listening down like? you have
[00:12:55] identified the four asking is not a big problem, we look
[00:12:59] at it, the expansion is for all for
[00:13:02] us, i could look back and look
[00:13:05] at aramco and others
[00:13:09] see, the all producing of Saudi
[00:13:13] Arabia,
[00:13:15] yeah was no, uh, the
[00:13:19] life for public coted
[00:13:20] company,
[00:13:25] refine and do
[00:13:27] NNPC you know uh
[00:13:30] reform to the extent that one day the
[00:13:34] totality of it, not just the arms and
[00:13:38] legs, the totality of it will be
[00:13:41] listed.
[00:13:45] now now injurous manufacturers are becoming more confident about the business
[00:13:49] environment helped by recent government policies and the latest
[00:13:53] manufacturers, CEOs. index rose to 52.1
[00:13:57] in the second quarter of 2026 up from 48.7 in previous
[00:14:00] quarter. the improvement was driven by more positive outlook for
[00:14:04] business following recent tax reforms, executives orders and
[00:14:08] other pro-industry policies and despite the improved
[00:14:11] sentiment. manufacturers say access to affordable credits remains a
[00:14:15] major challenge. they are calling on the central bank to lower interest
[00:14:18] rates, give manufacturers better access to foreign exchange and
[00:14:22] ensure government agencies buy more Nigeria, made in
[00:14:26] Nigeria products to boost local
[00:14:28] production.
[00:14:32] Meanwhile, the Nigeria's employers consultative Association, Neka is
[00:14:36] urging the Federal and Lagal State governments to interven following the
[00:14:39] closure of factories and commercial facilities in Lagus's
[00:14:43] Dokwemu industrial corridor, after the enforcement of a court order
[00:14:47] a long-running land dispute. In a statement, Neka said it
[00:14:51] respects the judicial process, but once that the shutdowns could
[00:14:55] threaten jobs, disrupt supply chains and weaken investor confidence.
[00:14:59] It said that affected corridor is part the Legos Ugu industrial access,
[00:15:03] which accounts for more than half of Nigeria's industrial outputs. The
[00:15:06] director general of Nerka, Adiwali Smarto Yerinde calls for an interim
[00:15:10] arrangement that would allow legitimate businesses to continue
[00:15:13] operating while the courts determined the case to protect
[00:15:17] jobs, investments and industrial
[00:15:19] stability. With that we

[00:18:05] United States is suffering a shortage of weapon. bowing
[00:18:08] long-term jail sentences for those suspected of leaking
[00:18:12] information. now here's from our London studio with more on this and
[00:18:16] other international news in around the world in
[00:18:18] f. good evening and
[00:18:22] welcome to the channel's studios here in London with your international
[00:18:26] news around the world in five. President Donald Trump
[00:18:30] has denied reports that the US is suffering a munitions shortage and
[00:18:33] vowed a social media post that his administration would seek long-term
[00:18:37] jail sentences for those suspected of leaking information. The US
[00:18:41] has massive amounts of munitions, especially of certain types, Trump posted on
[00:18:45] Thursday morning. Additionally, large amounts are being manufactured and shipped
[00:18:49] to the US as needed. With the war with Iran in its
[00:18:53] sixth month, Trump and the Pentagon are facing mounting questions about the state the
[00:18:57] military's arsenal. The US and Iran have continued to trade strikes
[00:19:00] despite multiple pauses in fighting, and deal to fully end hostilities
[00:19:04] remains elusive.
[00:19:08] Ukraine has said it has hit two oil refineries in multiple strikes deep
[00:19:12] inside Russia, with patrol boats and other vessels in the Black Sea
[00:19:16] also hit. President Vlodimir Zelensky said the refinery attacks were aimed at
[00:19:20] limiting oil revenues Moscow uses to finance its war. The
[00:19:24] regional governor said four people were injured. Meanwhile, Ukraine said
[00:19:28] at least 11 people were killed in Russian attacks and the southern city of
[00:19:31] Hurzen reported total blackout. Russia said it targeted
[00:19:35] fuel, energy and transport facilities. Congolese authorities are
[00:19:39] carrying out bowler and cholera screening for all 255
[00:19:43] passengers aboard boat intercepted on the Congo River. The e-fung
[00:19:46] 2 operated by a Chinese company was halted near Bender Bender Ports, some
[00:19:50] 65 kilometers upstream from the capital Kinshasa. The health minister
[00:19:54] said screening was being carried out as a precautionary measure after a passenger
[00:19:58] with fever and diarrhea who got off at earlier stop had died in
[00:20:02] hospital. A further two adults, a three-year-old child and newborn have
[00:20:06] also died.
[00:20:07] Senator Mourinho, on behalf the millions of people harmed
[00:20:10] by Anthony Falchi, resouningly, yes. A US senate committee has voted to
[00:20:14] hold a former top health official Anthony Founchy in contempt of Congress after
[00:20:18] he refused to answer questions during hearing, examining his handling the
[00:20:22] COVID-19 pandemic. On the advice of Council, I respectfully
[00:20:26] declined to answer based upon my rights under the fifth amendment
[00:20:30] the constitution. The vote, which fell along party lines, clears the
[00:20:34] way for the committee to refer the case to the justice department for potential prosecution.
[00:20:38] for failing to comply with a congressional during his testimony
[00:20:42] last week invoked his constitutional right against
[00:20:44] self-incrimination more than hundred times arguing that the
[00:20:48] Kentucky senator Paul was trying to put him behind
[00:20:51] bars, hey everyone, as I prepare for the premiere of
[00:20:55] my one woman show, Cart Wheel at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this
[00:20:59] August, I've been thinking about the relationship between tragedy
[00:21:02] and comedy. The sister of Meredith Kircher has criticized a solo
[00:21:06] comedy show by Amanda Knox, who was convicted and later acquitted of murdering the
[00:21:10] British student in Italy in 2007. A petition against the show set
[00:21:14] up by a friend of Meredith has been signed by over 2,400
[00:21:18] people and says the show disrespect. her memory and also risks normalizing
[00:21:22] violence against women. a spokesperson for nox said the show set
[00:21:26] to run over 11 days from Friday honors Kurch's
[00:21:29] memory. No frills Airline easyjet has agreed to be taken over
[00:21:33] a 5.7 billion pounds deal by US firm Apollo
[00:21:37] after rival suita dropped out. The takeover was agreed after US
[00:21:40] investment firm Castle Lake which had made series of offers for the
[00:21:44] carrier said it was withdrawing from the Bid battle. Easyjet is one of
[00:21:48] Europe's largest airlines in employs more than 19,00 people and flies
[00:21:52] around 1,200 rots across 35 European
[00:21:55] countries. It was founded by Sir Stelius
[00:21:58] Hajilonu in 1995 to offer cheap fairs to Europe
[00:22:02] from the UK. European teams could still boycot competitions
[00:22:06] including the World Cup despite member nations of FIFA giving their president their
[00:22:09] backing. Infantino's position has been under scrutiny since the controversial
[00:22:13] plan to sell stakes in its competitions to private investors. FIFA's
[00:22:17] chief operating officer was not invited to yesterday's meeting in
[00:22:20] Morocco, in which senior executives backed the FIFA president.
[00:22:24] Infantino looks set to fight for re-election for fourth term and will
[00:22:28] need 106 votes from FIFA's 211 members to
[00:22:32] win. European teams could still boycot competitions as
[00:22:35] UEFA says FIFA's defense of its president infantino changes
[00:22:39] nothing and tourist has been declared lucky to be alive by experts
[00:22:43] after he was knocked to the floor and butted by a wild bison. Witnesses
[00:22:47] said the man came within around four or five meters the bison. before it charged and
[00:22:51] knocked him to the ground, nature photographer who witnessed and recorded the
[00:22:54] encounter shouted at the man not to move before using his car to separate
[00:22:58] him from the bison. The forest straddles the border between Poland and
[00:23:02] Belaruss and is one of Europe's last remaining large areas of primary
[00:23:06] forest. It is best known as refuge for the European bison, the
[00:23:10] continent's largest land mammal. And that's your
