The Monetary Policy Committee of the Central Bank of Nigeria on Friday altered the Cash Reserves Ratio from 22.5 per cent to 27.5 per cent. The Cash Reserve Ratio is the share of a bank’s total deposit that is mandated by the CBN to be maintained with the latter in the form of liquid cash. The CRR is used by the CBN to ensure that a part of Deposit Money Bank’s cash is with the Central Bank and is hence, secure.

The move according to the CBN is part of measures aimed at driving down inflation which had in the last four months remain high. Figures from NBS showed that inflation rate had risen to about 11.98 per cent in December which is the highest in recent times

The Governor of the CBN, Mr Godwin Emefiele, while addressing journalists shortly after the committee’s meeting said the move was aimed at mopping up excess liquidity from the banking system which has become a threat to inflation.

The movie star made this known via his Instagram page on Friday, January 24, 2020, while sharing a photo from the surgery.

“Forgive being Reluctant but just had to share…Many don’t know what we go through in the course of our work (FILM MAKING). Had a growth encroaching the pupil of both eyes cos of overexposure to HARSH movie Production LIGHTS over the Years…(Heard looking into your PHONE/COMPUTER for too long also puts one in Danger)…Advised to get Surgery done, I was Scared…”

“After Surgery, for over 8 hrs, I was without sight as my eyes were Demanded Tightly Closed, Tightly Shut by the Ophthalmologist Team of Doctors…Hmmm…These Made me Appreciate more the GIFT of Sight GOD gave me…Goshhhh that I can never take for granted…Scary experience…But God is always Faithful…Glad Surgery was SUCCESSFUL and I will be back real soon to my work and Passion…”

The Palestinian Authority (PA) has warned Israel and the United States against “crossing red lines” promising not to recognise any Middle East peace plan it had previously rejected as US President Donald Trump prepares to present the plan in the coming days.

Trump said on Thursday he will likely release the long-awaited plan before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visits Washington, DC next week. The Palestinians, who were not invited to the White House meeting with Netanyahu, immediately rejected the US-hosted talks, as they reject the peace plan itself, which has been in the works since 2017. Its release has been delayed repeatedly.
