00:11:13Uh, the first, Mr. President, is what we call privatization and
00:11:16listings. Uh, the markets that we have today really
00:11:20also came into light because of intentionality by government
00:11:24at the time. "you'd remember sir, in the 70s we had the
00:11:27indigenization program, many of your nestles and unileavers and these
00:11:31companies only came to the markets as result, mtn,
00:11:35the big telecommunications company that we talk about today, that's a big
00:11:39part the exchange, also only came as result of government efforts
00:11:43and we're asking Mr. President, firstly for your support in this
00:11:47regard, there are few companies that we have identified, companies like
00:11:50LMA, petrochemicals, like Indorama, these are companies.
00:11:55an NLNG, these are companies that somewhere in their clauses
00:11:59already are listing clauses for some them, or some them just in the hands of
00:12:02government to
00:12:03say, look, NLNG, let's list our stake on the exchange, or
00:12:07perhaps Indorama or LMA or some assets that the NNPC owns
00:12:11in his portfolio, so Mr. President, with your kind support, that would be
00:12:14one item that would really like your support
00:12:18around. In response,
00:12:21president says Nigeria has the capacity to build a $1
00:12:25trillion dollar economy, he also addresses the NGX call for more
00:12:29strategic national assets to be brought to the capital
00:12:32market. if we can
00:12:36support the private sector, it will be a great
00:12:40benefit, what are we
00:12:44producing that other nations we are, how
00:12:48do we collaborate with other countries, how
00:12:51do we get this listening down like? you have
00:12:55identified the four asking is not a big problem, we look
00:12:59at it, the expansion is for all for
00:13:02us, i could look back and look
00:13:05at aramco and others
00:13:09see, the all producing of Saudi
00:13:13Arabia,
00:13:15yeah was no, uh, the
00:13:19life for public coted

00:13:27NNPC you know uh
00:13:30reform to the extent that one day the
00:13:34totality of it, not just the arms and
00:13:38legs, the totality of it will be

00:13:57in the second quarter of 2026 up from 48.7 in previous
00:14:00quarter. the improvement was driven by more positive outlook for
00:14:04business following recent tax reforms, executives orders and
00:14:08other pro-industry policies and despite the improved
00:14:11sentiment. manufacturers say access to affordable credits remains a
00:14:15major challenge. they are calling on the central bank to lower interest
00:14:18rates, give manufacturers better access to foreign exchange and
00:14:22ensure government agencies buy more Nigeria, made in

00:14:47a long-running land dispute. In a statement, Neka said it
00:14:51respects the judicial process, but once that the shutdowns could
00:14:55threaten jobs, disrupt supply chains and weaken investor confidence.
00:14:59It said that affected corridor is part the Legos Ugu industrial access,
00:15:03which accounts for more than half of Nigeria's industrial outputs. The
00:15:06director general of Nerka, Adiwali Smarto Yerinde calls for an interim
00:15:10arrangement that would allow legitimate businesses to continue

00:18:16other international news in around the world in
00:18:18f. good evening and
00:18:22welcome to the channel's studios here in London with your international
00:18:26news around the world in five. President Donald Trump
00:18:30has denied reports that the US is suffering a munitions shortage and
00:18:33vowed a social media post that his administration would seek long-term
00:18:37jail sentences for those suspected of leaking information. The US
00:18:41has massive amounts of munitions, especially of certain types, Trump posted on
00:18:45Thursday morning. Additionally, large amounts are being manufactured and shipped
00:18:49to the US as needed. With the war with Iran in its
00:18:53sixth month, Trump and the Pentagon are facing mounting questions about the state the
00:18:57military's arsenal. The US and Iran have continued to trade strikes
00:19:00despite multiple pauses in fighting, and deal to fully end hostilities
00:19:04remains elusive.
00:19:08Ukraine has said it has hit two oil refineries in multiple strikes deep
00:19:12inside Russia, with patrol boats and other vessels in the Black Sea
00:19:16also hit. President Vlodimir Zelensky said the refinery attacks were aimed at
00:19:20limiting oil revenues Moscow uses to finance its war. The
00:19:24regional governor said four people were injured. Meanwhile, Ukraine said

00:20:07Senator Mourinho, on behalf the millions of people harmed
00:20:10by Anthony Falchi, resouningly, yes. A US senate committee has voted to
00:20:14hold a former top health official Anthony Founchy in contempt of Congress after
00:20:18he refused to answer questions during hearing, examining his handling the
00:20:22COVID-19 pandemic. On the advice of Council, I respectfully
00:20:26declined to answer based upon my rights under the fifth amendment
00:20:30the constitution. The vote, which fell along party lines, clears the
00:20:34way for the committee to refer the case to the justice department for potential prosecution.
00:20:38for failing to comply with a congressional during his testimony
00:20:42last week invoked his constitutional right against
00:20:44self-incrimination more than hundred times arguing that the
00:20:48Kentucky senator Paul was trying to put him behind
00:20:51bars, hey everyone, as I prepare for the premiere of
00:20:55my one woman show, Cart Wheel at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this
00:20:59August, I've been thinking about the relationship between tragedy
00:21:02and comedy. The sister of Meredith Kircher has criticized a solo
00:21:06comedy show by Amanda Knox, who was convicted and later acquitted of murdering the
00:21:10British student in Italy in 2007. A petition against the show set
00:21:14up by a friend of Meredith has been signed by over 2,400
00:21:18people and says the show disrespect. her memory and also risks normalizing
00:21:22violence against women. a spokesperson for nox said the show set
00:21:26to run over 11 days from Friday honors Kurch's
00:21:29memory. No frills Airline easyjet has agreed to be taken over
00:21:33a 5.7 billion pounds deal by US firm Apollo
00:21:37after rival suita dropped out. The takeover was agreed after US
00:21:40investment firm Castle Lake which had made series of offers for the
00:21:44carrier said it was withdrawing from the Bid battle. Easyjet is one of
00:21:48Europe's largest airlines in employs more than 19,00 people and flies
00:21:52around 1,200 rots across 35 European
00:21:55countries. It was founded by Sir Stelius
00:21:58Hajilonu in 1995 to offer cheap fairs to Europe
00:22:02from the UK. European teams could still boycot competitions
00:22:06including the World Cup despite member nations of FIFA giving their president their
00:22:09backing. Infantino's position has been under scrutiny since the controversial
00:22:13plan to sell stakes in its competitions to private investors. FIFA's
00:22:17chief operating officer was not invited to yesterday's meeting in
00:22:20Morocco, in which senior executives backed the FIFA president.
00:22:24Infantino looks set to fight for re-election for fourth term and will
00:22:28need 106 votes from FIFA's 211 members to
00:22:32win. European teams could still boycot competitions as
00:22:35UEFA says FIFA's defense of its president infantino changes
00:22:39nothing and tourist has been declared lucky to be alive by experts
00:22:43after he was knocked to the floor and butted by a wild bison. Witnesses

00:22:51knocked him to the ground, nature photographer who witnessed and recorded the
00:22:54encounter shouted at the man not to move before using his car to separate
00:22:58him from the bison. The forest straddles the border between Poland and
00:23:02Belaruss and is one of Europe's last remaining large areas of primary
00:23:06forest. It is best known as refuge for the European bison, the
00:23:10continent's largest land mammal. And that's your
