[00:00:59] of panel how he's was scammed 400
[00:01:02] millionar by fake agency dg at
[00:01:05] dme. well i'll be hanging out with
[00:01:09] b who joins us from our buja studios and
[00:01:12] mayor, journal
[00:01:14] starts right
[00:01:16] now.
[00:01:28] now let's begin the conversation. every positive economic report
[00:01:32] raises hope for better tomorrow, the central bank of
[00:01:35] Nigeria, CBN says recent gains including
[00:01:39] a more stable foreign
[00:01:41] of exchange market,
[00:01:42] of stronger external reserves and slight drop in
[00:01:45] inflation reflects the positive impact of its monetary
[00:01:49] reforms, tighter policies and improved
[00:01:52] market transparency. All right, bq, so good to have
[00:01:56] you join us on the show, bq uh, the CBN... has declared
[00:02:00] uh stable forex, but talk to me, what is
[00:02:04] responsible for
[00:02:05] this? yeah,
[00:02:09] i'm really impressed about uh the
[00:02:13] consistent growth of our foreign
[00:02:16] in reserves, um, governor
[00:02:19] cardoso has been really, really intentional
[00:02:23] about um growing the foreign reserves,
[00:02:27] because what... This does for us
[00:02:31] is that we can save
[00:02:33] off lot of volatility
[00:02:37] that we are grown
[00:02:41] of of accustomed with in that sector, when
[00:02:45] you have as much as we
[00:02:48] of have,
[00:02:49] of you of can defend your currency when it is
[00:02:53] absolutely necessary to do
[00:02:55] so, you can
[00:02:59] sustain. liquidity,
[00:03:03] because whether we like it or not, there will be occasions when
[00:03:07] there will be tremendous demand which can
[00:03:11] actually cause
[00:03:13] problems. we are
[00:03:16] approaching an election
[00:03:19] year, during that period, demand for forex is
[00:03:23] usually huge, but the buffers we
[00:03:26] have now we enable
[00:03:28] of us of to be able to to defend the currency when it is
[00:03:32] necessary, what we oppose
[00:03:34] is subsidizing the foreign exchange
[00:03:38] markets,
[00:03:40] of because you can only do that a huge cost, are
[00:03:44] doing that during previous
[00:03:45] administrations, but this
[00:03:48] administration decided to not do
[00:03:52] that, and have money saved
[00:03:56] from forex for
[00:03:57] of subsidy devoted to... uh other
[00:04:01] uses, so I agree with him that the
[00:04:04] reforms that we has introduced in the past 34
[00:04:07] of months of have of supported economic growth
[00:04:12] of and uh
[00:04:16] of of are ultimately going to create jobs and reduce
[00:04:17] a poverty. The unification
[00:04:19] of of the foreign exchange market is one
[00:04:20] of the best things ever happen to our government, because all
[00:04:24] of the people who used to simply sit down
[00:04:27] of in their guardians and... do
[00:04:30] arbitrage, collect foreign
[00:04:34] of exchange from the official markets and then go
[00:04:38] and sell in the black market during the period
[00:04:41] of multiple exchange rates, they can no longer do
[00:04:45] that. in fact i've seen occasions when the black
[00:04:49] market rate was even better than
[00:04:52] of the official rate, we've seen that, yes,
[00:04:56] so is kind of a paradox, but it is what is good. for
[00:05:00] Nigeria, I want to believe that we have a Nigeria that
[00:05:04] is finally working, and the question
[00:05:07] is, how will the
[00:05:11] opposition? con to is because they continue to tell us
[00:05:15] that this government has not achieved anything, but this government
[00:05:18] inherited foreign reserves at about 4
[00:05:22] billion dollars and now we are talking about 52
[00:05:25] billion dollars and it's going to
[00:05:27] grow into even more than
[00:05:31] 60 billion at the rate that we are
[00:05:35] going and the way we were
[00:05:38] printing our currency
[00:05:41] you know deceiving ourself, living a lie as nation,
[00:05:45] that has come to an end, what we pile on, the
[00:05:49] debt that we pied on by ways and means, nobody is
[00:05:53] talking about that, that's a big achievement on the part of this
[00:05:56] government that they have resear, they have reversed
[00:06:00] some of those unholesome practices,
[00:06:04] so it's a happy day as a Nigerian, I'm happy because I can
[00:06:07] see that we are headed in the right direction, and
[00:06:11] all the people say: in it, they can't all be
[00:06:14] liars, the
[00:06:18] world bank, the IMF, they have told us
[00:06:22] that the reforms that this government has
[00:06:24] introduced are finally
[00:06:28] setting us in the right direction,
[00:06:30] yes, people are
[00:06:33] hungry, reforms
[00:06:36] naturally come with
[00:06:39] pains, most economic reforms. usually come with pains,
[00:06:43] we've seen it in other countries, people even resorting to riots
[00:06:47] and all that, but ultimately things will stabilize,
[00:06:51] people need to go back in time and read the story the Asian
[00:06:55] tigers, it wasn't rosy from the
[00:06:59] beginning, but these are great countries that we are talking about,
[00:07:02] and I'm sure that Nigeria's
[00:07:05] greatness will come
[00:07:08] sooner than than later after the
[00:07:11] storm, there will be great joy and I've
[00:07:15] seen those clear signs that our country
[00:07:19] is headed in the right direction okay then now
[00:07:23] um mayor the CBN has declared that um there's a stable foreign exchange
[00:07:27] market and um with this huge amount it shows
[00:07:31] that the economy is improving but I want to know does this mean that
[00:07:35] ordinary Nigerians will feel the benefits um let
[00:07:39] me let me stress that not not not not really.
[00:07:43] one thing you have to give this government is that
[00:07:47] they've done very well when it comes to the
[00:07:49] economy, people may
[00:07:52] not, critics may say otherwise, but
[00:07:56] this government yes they've done, they've not done
[00:07:59] accidently when it comes to
[00:08:02] security or corporate governance, but when you look at
[00:08:06] the economy, education, infrastructure, they've
[00:08:10] done very well, okay, in the terms of economy. the reforms that they
[00:08:13] introduce, yes, as be able to stabilize the
[00:08:16] economy, and if you understand
[00:08:20] anything about economics and growth, you need to stabilize the
[00:08:23] economy first, before you can now talk about growth,
[00:08:27] okay, so what is happening now is that we have
[00:08:30] been able to stabilize the economy, so the worst is behind
[00:08:34] us, on the macro level, yes, we be able to stabilize the
[00:08:38] economy, and then we'll put bricks in
[00:08:41] place, have laid solid foundation for us to have
[00:08:45] growth, okay? in that initial
[00:08:48] period, it does not speculate down to the
[00:08:52] people, okay? the people will not, you will say that the
[00:08:55] economy is growing, everybody is saying that uh, the economy is growing,
[00:08:59] IMF, world bank, um, all the agencies that
[00:09:03] talks about banking and all that, everybody is saying that Nigeria is doing very well,
[00:09:07] but average man is still will complain and say, oh, things are still
[00:09:10] difficult, that's the way. this
[00:09:13] because when you when you are laying that
[00:09:16] foundation to stabilize the economy, it will
[00:09:20] not faculate to the people, it will not get down to
[00:09:23] them, but by the time you start, by the time you now
[00:09:27] start experiencing the growth as result of
[00:09:30] stabilization the economy, then the people will start reaping the
[00:09:34] benefits, okay,
[00:09:35] so that's just the different, but what is important where you have to
[00:09:39] commend this government is that they seems... to
[00:09:42] understand the economic dynamics,
[00:09:46] unlike the previous government that depends on ways and means,
[00:09:49] which is um, which is which is
[00:09:52] a suicidal way of running your economy, because you just sit down
[00:09:55] and then print money and deceive yourself that you can just spend
[00:09:59] money by printing money, that's not the way economic
[00:10:02] works, but we were doing that before, we were doing dual
[00:10:06] foreign exchange, which does don't make sense, because some
[00:10:10] people were gaming the system. Yeah, around tripping, you understand? We were
[00:10:14] doing, we were doing, we were doing fire subsidy, which
[00:10:18] was huge scam because some people just sat down somewhere, and they were just
[00:10:22] filing everybody, taking our patrimony. among
[00:10:25] themselves, they've be able to do the needful, this government have not things
[00:10:29] that they should do to be able to stabilize the economy that the economy has been stabilized,
[00:10:33] that is why you can have that 52 million billion, we
[00:10:37] use but at the time this government came in there was only 4 billion, in fact
[00:10:41] everybody thought we had 20 something, but they said no, this thing have been
[00:10:44] used to as collateral and all that and that the actual money that we
[00:10:48] have was actually 4 billion, so but now we be able to that do
[00:10:52] that, don't forget that that was a... term that inata we had
[00:10:56] problems because we the the the
[00:10:59] travel the
[00:11:00] airlines, the airlines could
[00:11:04] not repatr their profits and it became problem,
[00:11:08] but they be able to solve all that, so the economy has stabilized and you have to give
[00:11:12] it to this that they've done well, when it comes to doing the running the economy,
[00:11:16] they've done well, they've done well, what
[00:11:19] what is needed now is the growth, but as we move forward as we get
[00:11:23] growth the masses be able to now enjoy the
[00:11:26] benefit of that growth. b, you heard uh, mayor
[00:11:30] king pelu, now i want to look at it from the side of businesses now, what
[00:11:34] benefits would um should business owners you know
[00:11:38] expect from stronger reserves? let's say in the next maybe 6x to
[00:11:41] 12 months.
[00:11:45] yeah, even um exchange rate
[00:11:48] stability is something that will benefit
[00:11:51] businesses. okay, we are in import dependent.
[00:11:55] nation, that is the reality, we cannot deceive
[00:11:59] ourselves about that, and um, a situation in
[00:12:02] which you have exchange rate
[00:12:05] stability, enables people to plan, enable
[00:12:09] businesses to plan, so that is
[00:12:12] one big advantage, you can imagine
[00:12:16] if the buffers were not
[00:12:18] there, because most election
[00:12:22] years, you go into an election year, after that, what you
[00:12:26] experience is recession,
[00:12:30] I am confident that we will not have that now,
[00:12:33] because the CBN
[00:12:36] governor has really, really worked hard to put
[00:12:40] us a good position
[00:12:44] in terms of foreign exchange
[00:12:48] market, and this is what everyone is talking about, no doubt
[00:12:52] about it, reform is painful. change is
[00:12:55] uncomfortable, this is something that we have
[00:12:59] to live with, but we can't return to a system that
[00:13:03] blead us dry, all the hypocris talking about subsidy now
[00:13:07] among these politicians, i can bet you that if
[00:13:10] president bolatinu is not reelected, none
[00:13:13] them, none them will roll
[00:13:15] back
[00:13:24] back to the subs. regime and that's why when you ask
[00:13:27] them, would you have removed
[00:13:31] subsidy? they find it difficult to say they
[00:13:34] wouldn't have, because they are on record as having said
[00:13:38] that they will remove subsidy, but everyone should
[00:13:42] know that when you remove subsidy it will generate
[00:13:45] pain, and that is what we are saying now, and that was
[00:13:49] why somebody said some time ago that we had lived the
[00:13:52] lie for so long. It is
[00:13:56] now that we are beginning
[00:13:58] to um achieve some level of
[00:14:02] stability and even growth, so all the people
[00:14:06] talking about it, they they
[00:14:09] know what they are talking about,
[00:14:11] the and the are people, the are people who understand the system, okay,
[00:14:15] investments are coming into our country, more investment, thanks
[00:14:19] to the diplomatic shots that the president has consistently
[00:14:23] done, these investment. will translate
[00:14:26] to job creation, will translate economic
[00:14:30] growth and we will then continue to get
[00:14:33] better, even in the area of um attacking poverty, because once
[00:14:37] we can create jobs, more people will be taken out of
[00:14:41] poverty, more people will be provided for,
[00:14:45] so we are confident that with
[00:14:48] time things will continue to get better, the sort
[00:14:51] of reform that president came
[00:14:55] up with in his first time, most lily liver politicians will not try
[00:14:59] during their first time, they will not try it, but
[00:15:03] i've known this man for taking big
[00:15:07] decisions, he risized the legal civil service during
[00:15:11] his first time, and many people thought he was crazy, because they thought
[00:15:15] he would not be reelected, yes, at the end the day he
[00:15:19] got reelected, he didn't want to wait for his second time, he
[00:15:23] didn't want to be politically correct and is the same thing that we've seen
[00:15:26] him do as president of Nigeria, okay,
[00:15:30] yes, pain has come with it, but it's
[00:15:33] inevitable, child bad is wonderful
[00:15:37] thing, what we all wish to see, but it comes with so much pain
[00:15:40] if you've never been into a maternity world, you will
[00:15:44] not know what you are talking about, if you are not married or you have no plan
[00:15:48] to get married, you will not know what we are talking about, but that is the
[00:15:52] reality. all right, i'm confident that we are we are a good place and
[00:15:56] we will continue to make progress. okay, uh, just in just 30
[00:16:00] seconds, the CBN has said that um, the economy is stable, forex is
[00:16:04] stable, maybe they should begin easing interest. wait right
[00:16:08] now, what do you think? no, no, no, interest is depends a lot of
[00:16:11] variables that has nothing to do with whether you are
[00:16:15] growing your your foreign exchange and all that, so the interest is
[00:16:19] another matter entirely, it depends a lot of variables, what inflation
[00:16:22] is the state of things, so that is different thing,
[00:16:26] the the the CBA and and the other bankers will they
[00:16:30] meet regularly, look at it and determine what
[00:16:34] what should influence it, so that's the...
[00:16:37] even even
[00:16:39] in US, remember that discipline that we have now in the
[00:16:41] economy, there's no way things will not
[00:16:45] get better. okay, all right, gentlemen, straight to
[00:16:49] our next conversation, for the armed forces personnel who
[00:16:53] dedicates their lives to protecting the nation,
[00:16:56] knowing that their services are valued, is deserving. the minister of
[00:17:00] defense, which general Christopher Musa has thanked
[00:17:03] presidentubu for proving a historic
[00:17:07] 30 to 80% salary increase for armed forces personnel,
[00:17:11] the president said the pay rise recognizes the courage and
[00:17:15] sacrifices of military personnel in the fight against
[00:17:19] banditry, kidnapping and terrorism while reaffirming the
[00:17:22] government's commitment to their welfare,
[00:17:26] and good news, the president has approved
[00:17:30] salary increase for defense forces. this is
[00:17:34] moral booster, isn't it?
[00:17:38] Yes, it's a big shot in the arm for our arm
[00:17:42] forces, it's something we've always
[00:17:45] demanded to see, because those
[00:17:49] who toil day and night, those who risk their
[00:17:53] lives, those who lose their limbs
[00:17:57] for you and I to be saved, they deserve to
[00:18:00] be better taken care of, they
[00:18:04] deserve to be venerated, they deserve to be treated.
[00:18:08] as the real heroes that they are, and they
[00:18:12] deserve good
[00:18:14] pay.
[00:18:16] Nigeria must do it best
[00:18:19] to get into the league of
[00:18:23] those African countries that pay
[00:18:27] good wages to the arm forces, countries like
[00:18:31] South Africa countries like
[00:18:34] Boswana, even k
[00:18:38] so we need to get into that league and I think that um
[00:18:42] this is a step in the right direction and I like the
[00:18:46] incremental way that this has been done under
[00:18:50] this new arrangement officers above the rank of conel will
[00:18:53] enjoy 30% salary increase and this
[00:18:57] applies to brigadier generals, major generals, lieutenant generals
[00:19:01] and generals 30% salary increase, personnel
[00:19:05] ranking from cornel down. to warrant
[00:19:08] officer will receive a 50%
[00:19:12] increase, while those from private to staff sergeant
[00:19:15] we get an 80% in 80%,
[00:19:19] so it's just is
[00:19:22] just um similar
[00:19:26] to what the president has done with the tax
[00:19:29] reform, whereby the
[00:19:32] lowest worker does
[00:19:35] not need to pay
[00:19:38] and uh pay as you've seen in the in the
[00:19:41] past, so this
[00:19:44] government has done so much to improve, mean
[00:19:48] to focus on the welfare the ordinary nigerian
[00:19:51] and the lowely
[00:19:55] workers in the public service, you can see those who
[00:19:59] will get 80% pays and what this also
[00:20:02] means is the wage bill
[00:20:05] for um for the arm forces
[00:20:09] has gone up significantly from 660
[00:20:13] billion monthly to 924
[00:20:17] billion monthly, which is increase of
[00:20:21] 264 billion naira, so
[00:20:25] this is a tremendous outlay, if you do not care for
[00:20:29] the welfare of service men and women, you
[00:20:33] are not going to commit this kind of money you know to their
[00:20:36] welfare, so is a good thing and I i
[00:20:39] know I'm not surprised that
[00:20:43] the the minister of defense is this excited because
[00:20:46] he was saying that when he was chief of defense staff. ers were
[00:20:50] receiving 49 about two
[00:20:54] years ago he then push for the salary
[00:20:58] to go to 100 thousand per month and
[00:21:02] that has been achieved so we say big
[00:21:06] thank you to the president this will definitely raise the morail of our
[00:21:09] soldiers if you go to 44
[00:21:13] hospital in kaduna
[00:21:16] you appreciate the sacrifices that the arm forces
[00:21:21] make for us, many people without limbs, they've
[00:21:25] lost their limbs to explosive
[00:21:28] devices, some have lost their
[00:21:31] site, some have lost their
[00:21:34] lives, so even when they are alive, we need
[00:21:38] to celebrate them, we need to do our best to make them happy, and i think
[00:21:42] this is what the president has done, again for those who say this
[00:21:46] president has not done anything that has
[00:21:50] nothing that i can point to during the
[00:21:52] campaigns, i wonder whether they will say this is not
[00:21:56] something good, because the
[00:22:00] noises that they make cannot
[00:22:03] obliterate reality,
[00:22:07] this is a good step, just like nail font, this is a good step
[00:22:11] and i'm really, really impressed, this is a good step, but higher
[00:22:15] salaries, it should definitely translate to better performance on the
[00:22:18] battle, start by saying
[00:22:21] that history will
[00:22:25] appreciate the fact that despite the
[00:22:27] challenges as to insecurity in this
[00:22:31] country, but
[00:22:33] that was one president that kept coming up with
[00:22:36] different ideas and how to be able to solve the
[00:22:40] insecurity problem. okay, it started
[00:22:44] by changing the service chips so as to
[00:22:48] bring new new people. with new
[00:22:50] ideas, then he created divisions in the
[00:22:54] army, okay, he sanctioned that more
[00:22:58] people, more, more bulls should be
[00:23:00] hired, he went
[00:23:03] into into partnership with
[00:23:06] us, where they were able to bring in people that
[00:23:10] trained our soldiers and then give logistics, give
[00:23:13] intelligence, and they even get involved in in actual
[00:23:17] combat, yes, killing that. the forces and
[00:23:21] all that, now he has the game changer
[00:23:24] is this, you see because when
[00:23:28] you when you, that is why in when when
[00:23:32] warfare started, that is where they
[00:23:36] introduce the idea of giving menders or v to people,
[00:23:40] okay, when you are, when somebody wants to make a
[00:23:44] supreme sacrifice to fight for his country, you
[00:23:47] have to tell the person that we appreciate what you are
[00:23:51] doing and we want to show you that we appreciate what you're
[00:23:55] doing, when you do that, it's increase
[00:23:58] morale, it makes them to know that there is need
[00:24:02] for what they are doing and that what they are doing
[00:24:06] is not in vein, we've always complained that the
[00:24:10] salaries that soldiers have been paid, you cannot look
[00:24:12] at um minimum wage and
[00:24:16] put them on kind of that kind of general salary. that must be
[00:24:20] different salary, he did that for the lecturers, yes, and that's
[00:24:24] why we don't have this problem of assal and all the things will be
[00:24:28] hearing, because our professors were not hearing well, he did
[00:24:32] that, now he has done that for the arm forces,
[00:24:35] to to to had 200 billion to your wage bill
[00:24:39] is lot of thing every month, but it shows a president
[00:24:43] who has vision who understands that look we have
[00:24:47] problem with insecurity and we have to come continue to come up
[00:24:51] with different ideas to be able to fight this insecurity
[00:24:54] and one the one the pillars of one the being blocks of
[00:24:58] fighting this to security is to encourage
[00:25:02] members the arm forces, inspire them, take care
[00:25:06] them so that they can have living
[00:25:09] wage, not just what we used to pay them, i don't know who
[00:25:13] convince him to be able to do that, but to me is one the
[00:25:17] best thing he has done, and i also believe that this could also help curve these of
[00:25:21] desertion and also improve recruitment into the and
[00:25:24] forces because they've said they should increase or
[00:25:27] more for example be able to join because you
[00:25:31] have to well yes the pay is good and then when
[00:25:35] you do when the pay is good like that other things allowances and other
[00:25:39] things will also come with it and then it will be better thing you
[00:25:43] see we because either we like it or
[00:25:46] not ISIS have chosen
[00:25:50] west africa as their base now, and when you had
[00:25:53] that to the Tuaregs and the Moreding gangs
[00:25:57] that moving along the west African coast
[00:26:01] Nigeria. has serious insecurity and on the
[00:26:05] steps, okay, and we have to know that it is
[00:26:08] important that we realize what we are facing, and part of it
[00:26:12] is to be able to have an arm forces that are mobile, that are
[00:26:16] well, well funded and have a good weight, living,
[00:26:20] absolutely, good, absolut, absolutely. all right, gentlemen, we need to go on
[00:26:23] this quick break, when we return the conversation continues, don't go
[00:26:27] away,
[00:26:52] all right, you're welcome back, it's still journalist hangout if you just joined us, i still have
[00:26:56] bko who is joining us from our buja studios and mayor at
[00:27:00] king pelu, now bko, this is in fact, good news for the armed forces,
[00:27:04] but b, before we went on that break, you mentioned two things, talking about the
[00:27:07] wage bill, the wage bill increased by over 200
[00:27:11] billion, this is huge, but can it be sustained,
[00:27:15] and secondly, should attention also shift to
[00:27:18] other security agents agencies like the
[00:27:22] police and other security agencies, this kind of increased wage bear, what
[00:27:26] do you think? yes, i
[00:27:30] think they will certainly come to
[00:27:32] that um the is listening
[00:27:36] government and they watch programs like this so they know
[00:27:39] that uh we represent the voice the
[00:27:43] Nigerian people untinted
[00:27:46] unstinted so we expect that
[00:27:50] the president will let this speculate to other
[00:27:54] services um but before we go on
[00:27:58] um let me make the point that the
[00:28:01] soldiers lose their lives the most, the soldiers on the
[00:28:05] frontline, they are the ones who have now have their
[00:28:09] salaries increased by 80%.
[00:28:13] okay, it's not often that you see generals on the wall
[00:28:16] front, no, even by their training at
[00:28:20] NDA, accent is not
[00:28:24] placed on generals going to the war front by
[00:28:26] themselves, so it is this
[00:28:29] junior soldiers, are populate the
[00:28:33] frontline and they deserve solid
[00:28:37] welfare, and the country has set machinery
[00:28:41] motion to take very good care them. now
[00:28:45] the good news that I have for Nigerians is that
[00:28:49] a combined team the army, police and the
[00:28:52] DSS has effected the
[00:28:55] release of
[00:28:59] people who are kidnapped in Warrock state.
[00:29:03] running into hundreds of people, woror,
[00:29:07] some people to were kidnapped in keby state as well
[00:29:10] as Niger state, their release has not been
[00:29:14] secured, I just got this information now,
[00:29:17] this is good news, I'm happy to tell Nigerians, it was
[00:29:20] fire fight between the
[00:29:24] arm forces and these good for nothing
[00:29:28] enemies the Nigerian state, at the end the day they took to
[00:29:32] their... hills just like the ori ray kidnappers took to
[00:29:36] their hills and we now have
[00:29:39] this um innocent people from karara
[00:29:43] from keby from niger uh freed so
[00:29:47] it's another good news and it also underlines the
[00:29:50] importance that Mr. President
[00:29:54] places on the welfare of our
[00:29:57] people we will defeat the enemies the Nigerian state I'm very confident
[00:30:01] about that. um the next says will be put to
[00:30:05] shame to say that the government is not doing
[00:30:07] anything is even mischivous,
[00:30:11] utterly mischivous, because we've seen a lot of people kidnapped
[00:30:15] rescued, yet you give the impression that they are not doing anything that
[00:30:19] Nigeria is bleeding, nothing is working in Nigeria, this
[00:30:22] is evidence that these people had not been
[00:30:26] forgotten, absolut and they been rescued, so let's see
[00:30:30] what they say next, maybe they are going to say that is Trump that did
[00:30:33] it or that uh they gave each them 1 billion
[00:30:37] dollars mayor.
