PETITION AGAINST DISOBEDIENCE OF SUPREME COURT RULING BY THE CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA AND COMMERCIAL BANKS

With humility, I have the authority of the governing board of the Center for Social and Economic Rights (CSER) to intimate you with this civil society organization which is at the vanguard of agitations for transparency, accountability, responsibility and respect for the rule of law in our national life via civilized means of engagement.
PETITION AGAINST DISOBEDIENCE OF SUPREME COURT RULING BY THE CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA AND COMMERCIAL BANKS
We wish to bring to your notice for immediate action, a case of flagrant disobedience to lawful court order by the central bank of Nigeria and commercial banks which amounts to contempt of court and an assault on our democracy and constitution.
As you are aware honourable attorney general and minister of justice Sir, sequel to the pains and agony that Nigerians have been subjected to in the last couple of weeks as a result of the poor and inhuman implementation of the naira redesign policy with it’s attendant undermining of national security and our democracy, three states governments of Zamfara, Kaduna and Kogi approached the Supreme Court of Nigeria for reliefs on behalf of downtrodden Nigerians and businesses who have had to endure the punishments and provocation of not being able to access their personal legitimate funds and to arrest the drift to anarchy symbolized by the 10th February 2023 CBN deadline for old naira notes to cease to be legal tender.
In it’s ruling on 8th February 2023, the Supreme Court directed all parties to maintain the status quo & quashed the 10th February 2023 deadline till the determination of the case which was adjourned to 15th February, 2023.
Sir, we were very glad to read in the media of your pledge as the nation’s number 1 law officer, to abide by the ruling of the Supreme Court, even when you made it known that the federal government was going to approach the apex court at the next adjourned date to seek an upturning of the order.
However Sir, we were shocked when our attention was drawn to a memo dated 13th February 2023 from a commercial bank to it’s branches and other cash points affiliated to the bank, directing the non acceptance of the old naira notes in utter contravention of the ruling of the Supreme Court which subsists till the 15th of February 2023. Surprisingly, from reports monitored across the country, we can confidently report that most of the commercial banks in the country are refusing to accept the old naira notes as a medium of exchange in contravention of the laws of our land.
We also have it on good authority that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) irresponsibly and in utter disregard for our democracy and constitution, passed the information surreptitiously to the commercial banks to disobey a subsisting court ruling which represents the law of the land that you swore on oath to uphold at all times.
Attorney general and minister of justice, we don’t want to bore you with the implications of this disregard to the laws of the land by this subversive action of the central bank of Nigeria and commercial banks, but we must warn that this assault of our laws by the CBN and the commercial banks, is an invitation to anarchy which is condemnable and must be addressed appropriately.
Therefore Sir, we are demanding that as the chief law officer of the federation, you file for contempt of court against the CBN and it’s accomplices before the apex court tomorrow for their flagrant disobedience of a lawful court order.
We are also demanding that you immediately rein in the CBN and it’s conspirators commercial banks to upturn their anti democratic and unconstitutional action of rejecting the old naira notes in disobedience to the court ruling pending the final determination of the suit.
As democrats, one of the guiding and cherished principle of democracy is the respect for the rule of law which this ruling symbolizes and must not be allowed to be trampled upon by any person, group or institution.
Sir, we would be very glad to see you publicly address this assault on our constitution and democracy by the CBN and commercial banks who should not be allowed to toy with the destiny of over 200 million people for reasons other than our collective interest.
Please, find attached with this petition, a copy of the commercial bank memo dated 13th February 2023 as well as a memo from the CBN revealing that she is the initiator of the assault on our democracy by the disobedience to lawful court order.
Sir, please accept the compliments of our high regards
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Thanks.
Your’s Sincerely,

Nelson Ekujumi,
Executive Director.

Let’s reflect as we wrap-up 2024″By Prudent Ludidi

 

As we stand here today, we are on the threshold of a new year. A year full of possibilities, opportunities, and promise. But before we step into the unknown, let’s take a moment to reflect on 2024.

Let's reflect as we wrap-up 2024"By Prudent Ludidi

Look back on the triumphs and the struggles. The moments that made you proud and the moments that made you question yourself. Think about the goals you set and the ones you achieved.

Reflection is not about dwelling on the past; it’s about learning from it. It’s about identifying what worked and what didn’t. What you can improve on and what you can let go of.

As you reflect on the past year, remember that you are not the same person you were these couple of months ago. You’ve grown, you’ve learned, and you’ve evolved.

Don’t be too hard on yourself about the mistakes you made or the opportunities you missed. Instead, focus on the progress you’ve made and the strength you’ve gained.

Now, as we wrap up this year and prepare for the next, ask yourself:

What do I want to achieve in the coming year?

What habits do I want to form?

What relationships do I want to nurture?

What skills do I want to develop?

What dreams do I want to chase?

The upcoming year is a blank canvas, waiting for you to paint your masterpiece. Don’t let fear or doubt hold you back. You have the power to create the life you want.

So, as we near the close of this chapter and begin a new one, remember that every ending marks a new beginning. Every setback is an opportunity for growth. And every success is a stepping stone to greater things.

In a heartwarming display of generosity and community spirit, Chief Lawal Eniola Adewale Lawal, CEO of Wallex Estate Global Services, marked Wallex Day 2024 by facilitating the release of six inmates from the Ilaro Corrections Center. This significant event took place in Ilaro, Ogun State, and was attended by a host of dignitaries and local personalities, all united in the spirit of giving back to the community.

The initiative, which aims to promote social reintegration and support for the less fortunate, saw Chief Lawal extend a helping hand not only to the released inmates but also to elderly women in the area. The CEO personally distributed cash gifts and foodstuffs, emphasizing the importance of uplifting those in need and fostering a sense of belonging within the community. “We must remember that our strength lies in our ability to support one another,” Chief Lawal stated during the event. “This is just the beginning; I promise to extend this philosophical gesture to Nigerians regularly.”

The event drew a diverse crowd, including notable figures from various sectors. Among the attendees were Alhaji Ibrahim Dende Egungbohun, the Founder of IBD Implex and IBD Foundation, as well as popular Nollywood actors and actresses. Traditional rulers from both Yewa South and North also graced the occasion, highlighting the collaborative effort to enhance community welfare.

The atmosphere was filled with hope and positivity as stories of resilience and transformation were shared. The released inmates expressed gratitude for the opportunity to start anew, while the elderly women felt appreciated and valued, reminding everyone of the importance of compassion in society.
