It also expressed the fear that millions more may slide into extreme poverty before the pandemic ends.  Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo painted the gloomy picture on Thursday while presenting the report of the Economic Sustainability Committee to the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).  Buhari set up the committee on March 30, 2020 in response to what was then becoming a threat of the most severe economic downturn in the country’s history, largely caused by the pandemic.

The Kaduna State House of Assembly on Thursday impeached Mukhtar Isa Hazo, representing Milgoma constituency and in his place elected Isaac Auta, from Kauru. Hazo was until his election, the House Committee Chairman on Local Government and Chieftain Affairs before his election as Deputy Speaker in February, 2020. The 24-member Assembly passed a vote of no confidence in Hazo. There was, however, a mild drama during the inauguration of the new deputy speaker when a member attempted to snatch the maze, the symbol of authority of the House, which led to exchange of blows among lawmakers. The attempt was foiled by other lawmakers and the Clerk of the Assembly promptly administered the oath of office on Auta. Another member, Liman Dahiru, representing Makera constituency, made a second attempt to seize the maze after the inauguration, but his efforts were equally thwarted by the Sergeant at Arms and other chamber staff and lawmakers.

Ekiti State Chief Judge, Justice Ayodeji Daramola, has set free 33 inmates of the Nigeria Correctional Centre, Ado Ekiti. The beneficiaries comprised 18 awaiting trial inmates, 13 convicts and two others who were granted bail.
