<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1B55Tl" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1B55Tl.jpg"/>
<p>
 Les Gabonais en âge de voter éliront, le 12 avril prochain, leur nouveau président de la République. Sur les 23 dossiers de candidatures déposés, le Conseil constitutionnel n'en a retenu que quatre, dont celui du président de la transition militaire, le général de brigade Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema, et de l'ancien Premier ministre Alain-Claude Bilie By Nze, considéré comme le seul challenger sérieux.
</p>
<p>
 À travers l'interview menée par Eric Topona, celui qui était le dernier Premier ministre sous la présidence d’Ali Bongo Ondimba (du 9 janvier au 30 août 2023), évoque dans un premier temps les motifs de son entrée en campagne, puis expose également ses perspectives pour le développement du Gabon. Entretien.
</p>
<p>
 <b>
  Alain-Claude Bilie By Nze:
 </b>
 <br/>
 Aujourd'hui, mon pays est au carrefour du chemin avec des militaires ayant pris le contrôle, ceux-là mêmes qui avaient juré de le restituer aux mains civiles mais ont fini par briser leur serment. Parallèlement, il y a cette envie profonde de permettre à notre nation de prospérer.
 <br/>
 Je suis convaincu qu'en raison de mes expériences passées et de ma trajectoire personnelle, je possède non seulement les compétences nécessaires, mais aussi une perspective novatrice en rupture totale avec nos anciennes pratiques afin de construire un Gabon modernisé, renouvelé et absolument autonome.
</p>
<p>
 <b>
  PW : Malgré cela, nombreux sont ceux qui critiquent votre rôle au sein du gouvernement en tant qu’ancien ministre sous différents mandats, ainsi que celui de dernier Premier ministre nommé par l'ex-président Ali Bongo Ondimba. Ne seriez-vous donc pas également responsable des actions controversées de son administration ?
 </b>
</p>
<p>
 <b>
  Alain-Claude Bilie By Nze:
 </b>
 Tout le monde est comptable en commençant par Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguemaqui a été le commandant en chef de la Garde républicaine (GR) et qui a été aidé de camp d'Omar Bongo et qui a participé à la gestion de l'État.
</p>
<p>
 Je ne suis comptable que de ce que j'ai géré et je n'ai pas été président de la République gabonaise. J'ai été ministre comme d'autres ministres, comme certains ministres qui sont dans son gouvernement (Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema, ndlr).
</p>
<p>
 J'ai été Premier ministre pendant sept mois comme certains dans son gouvernement qui sont Premiers ministre. Je ne vois pas en quoi je serai plus responsable qu'eux.
</p>
<h3>
 DW: Dites-nous, Alain-Claude Bilie By Nze, qu'est-ce qui vous différencie des autres candidats à la présidentielle du 12 avril prochain ?
</h3>
<p>
 <b>
  Alain-Claude Bilie By Nze:
 </b>
 Ce qui me différencie, c'est mon parcours, mon histoire, ma vie. Ce qui me différencie aussi, c'est que j'ai une expérience de l'action gouvernementale, en national comme au niveau international. Je suis soutenu aujourd'hui par un groupe d'hommes et de femmes, de plusieurs partis politiques, associations des jeunes, des femmes.
</p>
<p>
 Je porte un projet de rupture radicale, je porte un projet de réorganisation des finances publiques, je porte un projet pour offrir à la jeunesse gabonaise des opportunités d'emploi, une chance pour se réaliser, s'épanouir pleinement dans leur pays.
</p>
<p>
 Je porte le projet d'en finir avec le cordon ombilical avec la puissance coloniale (la France, ndlr) sans le revoir, sans pour autant tomber dans le bras d'un autre colon.
</p>
<p>
 Il est totalement différent de ce que les autres proposent: la restauration. Ça veut dire retour vers le passé.
</p>
<h3>
 DW: Pensez-vous que les conditions d'organisation de cette élection présidentielle du 12 avril 2025 sont optimales ?
</h3>
<p>
 <b>
  Alain-Claude Bilie By Nze:
 </b>
 Non, ce n'est pas le cas. Cependant, cela ne signifie pas qu'il fallait permettre à un général d'utiliser cette situation pour éviter une quelconque campagne politique. Ces mesures ne sont peut-être pas idéales. Pourtant, les Gabonais doivent agir. S'abstenir servira uniquement ceux qui détiennent déjà le pouvoir ; ils méritent des sanctions.
</p>
<h3>
 DW: Monsieur le Premier ministre, le 10 mars dernier, dans une déclaration à la presse, vous aviez réclamé la tenue d'un procès pour l'épouse et le fils de l'ancien président Ali Bongo Ondimba, qui ont été arrêtés après le coup d'État du 30 avril 2023. Est-ce que ce n'est pas pour des fins ou à des fins électoralistes ?
</h3>
<p>
 <b>
  Alain-Claude Bilie By Nze:
 </b>
 Mais pas seulement la femme d'Ali Bongo et son fils. Toutes les personnes qui ont été incarcérées après le 30 août, doivent maintenant passer en procès.
</p>
<p>
 Cela fait déjà 18 mois. Personnellement, je ne mène pas campagne pour ou contre qui que ce soit ; mon combat est pour un État basé sur le respect du droit. Un tel État signifie qu’on n’emprisonne personne sans procès équitable. Le respect du droit implique également une justice forte et indépendante. En outre, dans cet état d'esprit, il serait injuste que l'État use sa puissance à des fins de vengeance personnelle.
</p>
<p>
 Ce procès va aider les Gabonais à connaître la vérité sur les événements survenus dans leur pays, depuis l'attaque vasculaire cérébrale d'Ali Bongo en octobre 2018 jusqu'au putsch du 30 août 2023. Il est crucial que les citoyens gabonnais soient informés des faits exacts.
</p>
<h3>
 DW : Comment se situent exactement vos relations avec l'ancien président Ali Bongo Ondimba ? Le rencontrez-vous régulièrement ?
</h3>
<p>
 Alain-Claude Bilie By Nze : Je l'ai croisé occasionnellement par le passé. Cependant, ce jour-là, j'ai décidé de prendre mes distances complètement et de lui exprimer mon opinion clairement ; ainsi, je ne me positionne pas comme le porte-parole d'Ali BONGO lors de cetteélection. Je suis Alain-Claude Bilie By Nze : détenteur d'un projet distinct et indépendant pour la nation gabonaise. Je ne prétends pas être sa continuation, car il existe bel et bien des successeurs.

DIWIDA.NEWS budgets, fiscal policy, government, money, politics and government

<p>
 <p>
  On May 30, in Nepal, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Bishnu Prasad Paudel stated that his main focus would be on implementing the new fiscal year’s budget. This budget was introduced in Parliament earlier this week on Thursday.
 </p>
 <p>
  At a press conference held today at the Ministry of Finance (MoF) concerning the budget for Fiscal Year 2025/26, Minister Paudel stated that the execution process would commence right away and wouldn’t be delayed until the beginning of the new fiscal year in mid-July.
 </p>
 <p>
  Implementing the budget poses significant challenges. It wasn’t created merely to satisfy our citizens; instead, its successful execution is imminent. Starting from today, I’ll concentrate on ensuring this happens," he stated. "The Ministry of Finance has begun formulating an actionable and unbiased strategy aimed at executing the budget effectively. Regarding initiatives where preliminary steps have concluded, there’s no reason to postpone actions till mid-July. We should expedite these processes immediately.

  The Finance Minister, Paudel, asserted that this year’s budget scale is neither excessively ambitious nor unrealistic when considering both income and spending projections. Additionally, he mentioned that the budget strategy encompasses boosting investment in infrastructure projects, controlling ongoing expenditures at a specific threshold, and augmenting fiscal allocations to provincial and municipal governments.
 </p>
 <p>
  He showed confidence that the income goals established via the budget will be met by the conclusion of the next fiscal year. As for domestic debt, Minister Paudel mentioned that the projections were formulated within the boundaries outlined by the Natural Resources and Finance Commission.
 </p>
 <p>
  Minister Paudel additionally highlighted that the budget includes several policy changes. According to him, one such policy aims at leveraging resources via alternate funding methods to foster economic growth and prosperity.
 </p>
 <p>
  The Finance Minister, Mr. Paudel, indicated that limits have been established for consultancy fees to enable provinces and local governments to create feasible budget plans. Furthermore, he noted that initiatives are underway to integrate the national ID card with various social welfare programs and entitlements. In addition, he clarified that the VAT on electronic transactions as well as the advanced income tax imposed at custom checkpoints have both been eliminated.

<p>
 On May 31, President of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari stated that maintaining present levels of political, defense, and economic stability is crucial for Pakistan’s progress and well-being as well as for securing a better future. He emphasized that unity among all democratic factions working collaboratively and reaching agreements would be essential toward achieving this aim. These remarks were made during an interaction with provincial representatives from the PPP and Federal Minister for Communications Abdul Aleem Khan held at the Governor House.

 The group that met with the President was headed by former Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf and comprised several key figures including General Secretary of the PPP Central Punjab Syed Hassan Murtaza, Provincial Secretary for Information Shahzad Saeed Cheema, Chaudhry Aslam Gul, Mehr Irshad Sial, and others. Also attending the meeting were Governor Punjab Sardar Saleem Haider Khan, Central Secretary for Information at the PPP Nadeem Afzal Chan, and President of the PPP Azad Kashmir Chaudhury Muhammad Yasin. During this gathering, they thoroughly discussed topics such as the nation’s political climate, economic conditions, plans for an impending budget, and matters concerning parliament operations. The President, Mr. Zardari, reaffirmed his commitment to prioritizing democracy and public service, emphasizing how each person and ideology must contribute towards resolving citizens' issues and improving daily life.
</p>
<p>
 On what proved to be a hectic day at the Governor’s Residence, President Asif Ali Zardari hosted several notable guests. Among those who visited him were National Assembly member Samina Khalid Gharki; prominent Pakistan People’s Party figure Arif Khan; Chaudhry Zaka Ashraf; provincial assemblymember Begum Rana Nasira Shaukat; Dr. Farid Al-Zakaria; Professor Karim; alongside numerous other political and societal leaders.

독일 신정부, 전기차로 첫 시험받다: 한·독 기술 경쟁 예고

<p>
 <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1EeucE" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1EeucE.jpg"/>
 지난 2월 실시된 독일 조기총선에서 보수 성향의 기민·기사 연합(CDU·CSU)은 28.6%를 득표하며 제1정당으로 부상했다. 진보 성향의 사민당(SPD)과 연립정부 구성에 합의해 프리드리히 메르츠 총리(CDU 대표) 체제의 새정부가 꾸려졌다.
</p>
<p>
 새정부는 독일 산업 정책을 자동차 산업을 중심으로 균형을 잡아 나갈 것으로 보인다. 양당 간에 합의된 산업 정책을 살펴보면 독일은 전기차 전환과 탄소중립 달성이라는 대의를 중심으로 현실적인 정책을 시행하며 시장의 균형을 잡아 나갈 것으로 예상된다.
</p>
<p>
 독일의 전기차 수요는 여전히 저조하다. 구매 보조금 지급 중단과 충전 인프라 부족, 높은 가격 등이 맞물리면서 지난해 독일의 전기차 등록 대수는 27% 줄어든 38만 대에 머물렀다. 이에 대응해 지난 정부는 지난해 9월을 기점으로 법인 차량 구매 시 최대 40%의 세액공제를 허용하는 인센티브를 도입했지만 호응이 크지 않았다.
</p>
<p>
 미국이 수입 차량에 25%의 고관세를 부과하면서 독일 완성차 업체들은 수출 감소를 기정사실화하고 있다. 대신 내수 시장으로 눈을 돌리고 있다. 전화위복이라 했던가. 미국발 악재가 독일의 전기차 시장에는 수출용 전기차의 국내 투입 확대와 가격 인하, 인프라 확충 등의 단기적인 호재로 작용하고 있다.
</p>
<p>
 신설되는 독일의 대연합정부는 기술적 공평함과 기후변화 목표 달성을 동시에 추구해야 하는 입장에 놓여 있다. 이러한 맥락에서 독일 정부는 전동 차량에는 긍정적이지만, 쿼터와 같은 전체적인 할당 제도에는 반대 의견을 명확히 밝혔다.
</p>
<p>
 독일 정부는 국내 자동차 산업의 어려움을 진지하게 받아들이고 앞으로도 자동차가 국가 경쟁력을 유지하는 데 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 보고 구체적 조치를 제시했다. 이번 합의에는 법인용 전기 차량에 대한 세금 감면 한도가 최대 10만 유로(약 1억 6천 만 원)까지 확장되며, 2035년부터 모든 전기 차량에 대해 자동차세가 면제된다. 또한 기존 내연기관 차량 생산 설비를 국방 산업으로 활용하거나 개선한다는 계획도 포함되어 있다.
</p>
<p>
 이러한 상황들을 종합해 보면, 독일 전기차 시장은 단기간 내에 피크 다운 기간을 겪게 될 것으로 보입니다. 경기가 좋지 않아서 수요가 크게 증가하지 않고 있으며, 제작사들은 규정 준수 의무로 인해 큰 압박감을 느끼고 있습니다. 대중적인 관점에서 볼 때, 차량 가격이나 충전소 이용 가능성, 그리고 정부 지원 중단 등의 이유 때문에 많은 사람들이 구입 결정을 미루고 있는 실정입니다. 따라서 시장의 신뢰성을 되찾는데에는 어느 정도의 시간이 걸릴 것입니다.
</p>
<p>
 그러나 장기적으로 보면 전기차 시장의 회복 가능성이 여전히 존재합니다. 새로운 정부가 내놓을 구체적인 지원 방안 덕분입니다. 작년부터 시작된 세금 공제를 주요 내용으로 하는 전기차 관련 지원정책은 독일 업계에서 확실한 매수 동기가 되고 있습니다. 특히 독일에서는 사업용 차량 비율이 약 70%에 달하기 때문에, 세법 개편 등을 통한 인센티브 제공이 단순 현금 지원보다 더 큰 영향력을 미칩니다.
</p>
<p>
 두 번째로, 유럽연합(EU)의 이산화탄소 규정에서는 일정을 조절하는 등의 방법을 통해 융통성이 있음에도 불구하고 탄소 중립 계획은 계속해서 진행될 예정이다. 작년에는 독일 남부에서 발생한 홍수와 스페인 발렌시아 지역의 집중호우 때문에 손실이 상당했다. 물 nạn으로 인해 자동차들이 대체되면서 신규 차량 등록 건수가 늘기도 하였다. 기후 변화에 따르는 이러한 실제적인 영향들에도 불구하고 EU는 탄소 중립 목표 달성에 대한 노력을 멈추지 않을 것이라고 할 수 있습니다.
</p>
<p>
 세 번째로, 특히 핵심 구성 요소인 배터리 관련 기술 개발의 진척 속도가 한국의 2차 전지 회사를 필두로 매우 신속하게 진행되고 있습니다. '미래형 배터리'라고 불리는 전고체 배터리는 조만간 2027년에는 상용화될 것이라는 관측이 나옵니다. 이에 따라 전기자동차 비용은 줄어들 것이며, 산업 전체에서 중요한 분수령 역할을 할 가능성이 큽니다.
</p>
<p>
 현재 미국에서 발표된 관세 관련 소식에 글로벌 관심이 쏠린 가운데, 독일 역시 새로운 도전을 극복하기 위해 전기자동차 산업 강화에 박차를 가하고 있습니다. '새 포도주를 새로 만든 병에 넣는다'는 격언처럼, 앞으로의 과제인 전기 자동차 분야를 독일 신정부가 어떻게 성공적으로 받아들여갈 것인지 주목됩니다.

Australians Head to Polls: Will Trump and Soaring Costs Decide the Election?

DIWIDA.NEWS elections, news, politics, politics and government, politics and law

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese of the Labour Party appears to have an advantage over conservative opponent Peter Dutton, with uncertainties surrounding potential U.S. tariff changes.
<p>
 Australians are set to vote in a national election this coming Saturday, where polls suggest that Labor Party leader Anthony Albanese may prevail over conservative opponent Peter Dutton. However, voters' desire for change has been tempered by concerns over former U.S. President Donald Trump’s unpredictable foreign policy approach.
</p>
<p>
 In Australia, where polling stations operate as some of the limited democratic systems with obligatory participation, they were accessible between 8 AM and 6 PM. However, an unprecedented 8 million out of the 18 million eligible electors had already submitted their votes prior to Saturday.
</p>
<p>
 Both of the main political parties have concentrated on the pressure from rising living costs; however, polling indicates that global uncertainties sparked by President Trump’s fluctuating tariff policies quickly rose to become a key concern among voters throughout the election campaign.

</p>
<p>
 Albanese stated on Friday that the election boils down to choosing either the stability offered by Labor or the "austerity and disorder" promised by the conservative Liberal-National coalition. In a last-ditch effort to win over voters during the campaign’s final day, the prime minister traveled thousands of kilometers spanning three states.
</p>
<p>
 "Our government has provided steady guidance during these unpredictable times," he stated.
</p>
<div class="image-inline-container">

</div>
<p>
 Dutton pointed out challenges confronting Australian families and small enterprises.
</p>
<p>
 He questioned the voters about whether they felt better off now compared to three years prior.
</p>
<p>
 During his twenty-year tenure in Parliament, Dutton established himself as a staunch advocate for strict border control and vowed to reduce tens of thousands of public sector positions.
</p>
<p>
 He aimed to separate himself from comparisons to Trump advisor Elon Musk's zeal for cutting agencies, yet he lagged behind following tariff imposition by the U.S. president on Australia. As late as February, Dutton was leading in opinion polls.
</p>
<p>
 According to a Newspoll released on Friday in The Australian newspaper, Labor leads with 52.5% compared to the Liberal-National coalition's 47.5%, based on Australia’s two-party preferential voting system.
</p>
<div class="image-inline-container">
 <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1E4HF3" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1E4HF3.jpg"/>
</div>
<p>
 Political analysts indicated that Trump was unlikely to be the crucial element in determining the outcome of the election—Albanese conducted a robust campaign, whereas Dutton erred with missteps such as proposing an ephemeral ban on public sector telecommuting.
</p>
<p>
 However, the Trump factor has intensified concerns among voters who turned cautious.
</p>
<p>
 Multiple surveys indicate that Labor might end up as a minority government. The preferences of voters supporting smaller parties and independent candidates could play a key role due to Australia’s preferential voting system.
</p>
<p>
 Roy Morgan, a pollster from Roy Morgan Research, pointed out that the support for independents and smaller political parties has doubled since 2007 and continues to grow with each election.
</p>
<p>
 In the 2022 election, the primary votes were almost evenly divided between Labour with 32.6 percent, the Liberal-Nationals with 35.7 percent, and "other" candidates with 31.7 percent. According to Roy Morgan CEO Michele Levine, approximately one-third of voters chose independent or smaller party candidates once more during this year’s voting process.

Arewa: Abandoned by Bloated Elites

DIWIDA.NEWS africa, politics, politics and government, social inequality, social issues

<p>
 A child without parental care due to natural reasons such as the loss of parents through death, or social circumstances like abandonment, is considered an orphan. Conversely, parental estrangement happens when a child chooses to distance themselves from their parents, particularly during times when those parents might be requiring support.
</p>
<p>
 The aforementioned comparison effectively illustrates the state of northern Nigeria—the area where many of the nation's prominent individuals were nurtured and developed. Whether in academia, the military, technical fields, or corporate leadership, the roster of notable people from this region is extensive.
</p>
<p>
 Ever since Nigeria came into existence and the original leaders of the regions passed away, the elite class from the north has been capitalizing on the good will of their people, unfortunately often to the detriment of the average person. The key query here is: what benefits does an everyday northerner stand to gain within the framework of Nigeria’s political landscape?
</p>
<p>
 Unfortunately, Arewa is not only an estranged parent, but also a beautiful bride whose chastity is explored, beauty exploited and patience abused by no other than the same circle of political vultures clinging to power at all means.
</p>
<p>
 In each electoral district across the nation, particularly following the restoration of democracy in 1999, the local leadership has consistently put their own interests ahead of those of the community. It stands to reason that fundamental needs specific to this area must be central considerations whenever discussing the direction and success of the region during elections and political shifts. Issues such as security, education, substance abuse, inadequate infrastructure, farming, and electricity supply are undeniable critical concerns facing the area, demanding immediate attention.
</p>
<p>
 For example, regarding education, since 2018, UNESCO has identified this region as having the largest number of out-of-school children within the nation. In relation to security issues, based on information provided by the Nigeria Security Tracker and the Global Terrorism Index, more than two million Nigerians, predominantly from the north, lost their lives due to rampant instability between 2015 and 2024. Additionally, an extra 2,235,954 individuals were abducted, with a cumulative sum of ₦2,231,772,563,507 being paid as ransoms.
</p>
<p>
 On the contrary, a leader from the north presided over the turbulent period marked by an increase in security concerns. Those who claimed to be Arewa representatives fell silent as they were largely shielded and profited from the prevailing conditions. Interestingly, the meticulously planned criminal activities targeting this area did not originate with contemporary regional advocates—the political class. The "North" serves as a fertile ground for politics. Political elites here manipulate the situation for their own benefit while misleading the average person through psychological tactics.
</p>
<p>
 If unsure, numerous sub-regional sociocultural pressure groups operate with conflicting objectives. However, they lack substantial impact. The top-tier organization includes the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF). Additionally, we find entities such as the Northern Elders Forum (NEF), the League of Northern Democrats (LND), and Arewa New Agenda (ANA) among others.
</p>
<p>
 Every time someone whose ego has been hurt or who has missed out or has fallen from grace within the complex world of upper-level politics, conspiracies, or power struggles, they suddenly recall the orphaned Arewa.
</p>
<p>
 It is undeniable that the political elite in Northern Nigeria has not deemed it appropriate to converge on practical solutions for lifting the region from this dire situation. Despite the gravity of these issues, their focus remains fixed exclusively on seizing power. Drug and substance abuse continue to be significant contributors to many problems facing the area. Conversely, young people often find themselves manipulated by these elites, who use illegal substances to maintain control over them, turning them into perpetual political henchmen.
</p>
<p>
 Even though the area boasts a large population, extensive territory, and both arable and fertile land, whether rainfed or not, it has faced numerous derogatory labels and accusations. It has been labeled as receiving handouts, described as parasitic, and accused of relying solely on federal subsidies without contributing significantly to the gross domestic product. These harsh comments came primarily from our neighbors to the south. With visionary leadership dedicated to the socio-economic progress of this region, along with an unwavering passion for development, the abundant human and natural resources could have been leveraged to accelerate industrial-scale growth.
</p>
<p>
 Over the last several weeks, the area has witnessed horrific events. Sadness, grief, and violence have spread widely throughout this region stretching from Benue through Plateau all the way to Zamfara and Borno. Horrifying tales of cruel human acts abound here. Innocent children, women, and elderly individuals were killed with shocking brutality. These people were left unprotected by the systems meant to shield them. Furthermore, local political leaders did not push for an authentic, viable resolution aimed at stopping these pointless assaults. Instead of taking meaningful action beyond offering insincere statements accompanied by standard condemnations via official communications, they proposed nothing extraordinary to stop the wave of murders.
</p>
<p>
 Individually, we should reassess and challenge the logic behind specific sociopolitical choices, particularly those affecting our area and governance. It’s crucial to interrogate and bring to account figures who misuse our shared values under false pretenses of representation. Indifference won’t suffice; it’s time to engage actively. With political maneuvers ramping up towards 2027, vigilance becomes imperative—we must stay alert. Competition has begun anew. Our task now includes identifying genuine voices amidst this clamor as opportunists circle around, hoping once more to manipulate regional interests for personal gain.

Ekiti Farmers Embrace Technology: Govt Trains Livestock Breeders in Innovative Techniques (International Edition)

DIWIDA.NEWS agriculture, farming, livestock, politics and government, technology

<p>
 The Ekiti State government has started training livestock farmers in order to enhance their productivity and contribute to food security within the state through the utilization of contemporary technological tools.
</p>
<p>
 The event titled 'Training on Productivity and Technology Adoption: Survey and Analysis' took place in Ado-Ekiti, which serves as the state capital. This initiative was organized by the Livestock Productivity and Resilience Support Project (L-PRES), an entity under the Ministry of Agriculture.
</p>
<p>
 Trainees from various local governments within the state will participate in comprehensive training lasting one week, focusing on utilizing technology to boost efficiency.
</p>
<p>
 The Commissioner for Agriculture, Ebenezer Boluwade, who was present through the representation of Permanent Secretary, Babatope Ojo, mentioned that the state is concentrating efforts on four specific livestock sectors: dairy/beef, sheep/goat, piggery, and poultry (including broilers and egg production).
</p>
<p>
 He encouraged all key stakeholders across the agricultural sector to collaborate closely with supporting businesses within the agri-food industry. This collaboration aims to secure long-term food stability and foster harmony throughout Ekiti State.
</p>
<p>
 As he stated, "The livestock sector is extensive and offers significant potential for productive output across our states; therefore, L-PRES is developing strategies aimed at assisting livestock producers and related agri-businesses in mitigating risks and enhancing their capacity to adopt contemporary farming techniques."
</p>
<p>
 As he motivated the participants to make use of the training, he asserted that the government is prepared to back increased productivity in the livestock industry via technological advancements. This initiative aims to promote harmony between farmers and herders within the state.
</p>
<p>
 In his remarks, the project coordinator of L-Press in Ekiti, Olayinka Adedipe, said that L-Press currently operates in 16 local governments of the State, adding that it is carrying out mass extension works with stakeholders such as people in academic and extension officers.
</p>
<p>
 “If we are able to empower 200,000 farmers, look at the indirect jobs that will be linked to that, so, for the indirect jobs, we are looking at over 1.5 million jobs,” he said.
</p>
<p>
 Professor James Ogunlola, the Lead Consultant at Synergy Impact Consulting Limited, highlighted that the focus has typically been on crop cultivation, stating, "This marks the nation’s first shift towards prioritizing livestock production."
</p>
<p>
 He stressed that the significance of livestock should not be overstated since the program aims to bolster rural production. Additionally, he noted that technology plays an essential role in attaining efficient output and must be recognized.
</p>
<p>
 Ogunlola stated, "The L-PRES party is taking appropriate actions, and I assure you that this procedure has the potential to lead Nigeria out of its current crises related to production and daily life."
</p>
<p>
 “Ekiti is an important state when it comes to Agriculture and we must move the state forward in the next one week we are going to help ourselves to gain understanding and develop strategies which we can implement and bring in new ideas amongst the participants.”

   President Donald Trump’s trade war with China could do “irreversible” damage to U.S. businesses, according to a new report.

   Stephen Lamar, the CEO of the American Apparel & Footwear Association, says
   CNBC
   The tariffs are causing disruptions in supply chains to an extent not witnessed since the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
  </p>
  <p>
   "Due to the extremely high tariffs on imports from China to the US, many businesses are left with no option but to cancel their orders," Lamar stated.
  </p>
  <p>
   "The frequent changes mean that new tariffs aren't properly shown or forecasted until the merchandise reaches the port, leading to steep charges that result in unpayable invoices. This level of uncertainty and financial strain is something smaller businesses cannot endure," he noted.

  <p>
   “A prolongation of the truce in the trade war for US imports from China is necessary at this point to prevent the harm from becoming permanent.”

   This directive mandates the military to assume control over federal territories alongside the border, thereby transforming these regions into de facto military bases.

   By taking this approach, the administration contends that troops have the authority to briefly hold migrants who enter the border in these areas, employing the same detention powers they would utilize at any other military installation when dealing with an intruder.

   Trump attempts to navigate contradictory stances on border emergency, analyst contends.

  Josh Marcus
  <p>
   On Friday, a presidential directive concerning soldiers positioned at the U.S. border might appear as business as usual—since many have already gathered along the frontier—but this move signals a significant intensification in President Trump’s deployment of emergency authorities, says Elizabeth Goitein, who leads the Liberty and National Security Program at the Brennan Center for Justice alongside another director.
  </p>
  <p>
   This directive mandates the military to assume authority over federal territories near the border, thereby transforming these regions into de facto military bases.
  </p>
  <p>
   By taking this approach, the administration contends that troops have the authority to briefly hold migrants who enter the border at these points, employing the same detention measures they would use for unauthorized entries at any other military facility.
  </p>
  <p>
   Goitein, in an
   X thread on Saturday
   , contended that the administration is attempting to employ legal maneuvers to circumvent strict provisions in federal laws such as the Posse Comitatus Act, which generally prohibits the military from engaging in domestic law enforcement activities. Additionally, they pointed out another statute mandating congressional approval for the Defense Department to assume control over federal territories except when at war or facing a national crisis.
  </p>
  <p>
   As Gotein highlights, the administration announced in January that the nation was facing a "national emergency" due to an "invasion" at the border. However, by this month, Trump stated, “The invasion of our country has ended."
  </p>
  <p>
   It’s about time for Congress and the judiciary to bring an end to all these attempts at seizing extra authority," the expert posted on X. "Immigration statutes ought to be implemented via legitimate methods, avoiding the misuse of emergency provisions, misusing wartime permissions, or attempting to circumvent the Posse Comitatus Act.

   The law firm Susman Godfrey has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government following their targeting by President Donald Trump through an executive order.
  </p>

   The company is handling the defamation lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems against Newsmax.
  </p>
  <p>
   The grievance states in part:
  </p>
  <p>
   In the United States, as stated by John Adams, we operate under a system where governance is based on laws rather than individuals. However, President Trump’s series of Executive Orders targeting law firms and others, like the one issued on April 9, 2025, aimed at Susman Godfrey, poses a significant challenge to this fundamental principle of our nation. By using the authority of his position to retaliate against entities and persons he disapproves of through executive action, the president is misusing the powers vested in him. Our Constitution does not provide a president with such unchecked authority; indeed, many aspects of the Constitution were deliberately crafted to prevent any single individual from wielding arbitrary, unlimited power—the very thing the president attempts to do via these orders.
  </p>
  <p>
   If the judiciary does not take decisive action now to reject this overtly unconstitutional executive order and similar ones, a perilous and potentially permanent shift could occur. Regardless of individual views regarding President Trump or Susman Godfrey’s legal actions on behalf of their clientele, eventually another president with distinct policy objectives and personal disputes might occupy the Oval Office. This subsequent leader may sincerely think that an altogether different group of entities or individuals poses "a threat to vital U.S. interests," echoing how Mr. Trump accused Susman Godfrey. Should these executive orders remain unchallenged, future leaders would feel unrestrained in targeting alternate adversaries out of retaliation. An act once considered outside acceptable conduct over the past 200 years risks becoming standard practice under such circumstances.

   In simple terms, this could happen to any one of us.

   Judge decides Trump administration cannot reduce funding for Maine school meals due to transgender athlete policy

  <p>
   On Friday, a federal judge decided that the Trump administration is not allowed to withdraw Maine’s federal funding for school lunches because of the state’s decision to reject a ban on transgender females participating in sports.
  </p>
  <p>
   U.S. District Judge John Woodcock Jr. didn’t take a stance on the debate surrounding Maine’s rules for transgender athletes. However, he ruled that the U.S. Department of Agriculture did not adhere to appropriate legal protocols as outlined in the Administrative Procedure Act when it halted funding intended for state nutritional initiatives.
  </p>
  <p>
   Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey, whose department initiated legal action to prevent the freeze, stated that the court’s decision by the judge in Portland, Maine, affirms that the Trump administration failed to adhere to the law when it "reduced funding for programs aimed at providing meals to schoolchildren and disadvantaged adults."
  </p>
  <p>
   The conflict arises due to President Donald Trump's executive order prohibiting transgender women from taking part in women's athletics at educational institutions that receive federal funds.

   Can Trump's tariffs hinder emissions?
  </h2>

  <p>
   President Donald Trump’s sweeping global tariffs have stirred widespread anxiety about a severe economic downturn -- and curiosity, for some, about how it might affect the world’s warming climate.
  </p>
  <p>
   Specialists suggest that a deceleration in global commerce could temporarily lessen greenhouse gas emissions, partly due to reduced burning of fossil fuels such as natural gas and petroleum used for transporting products through ships, airplanes, and trucks. However, this potential reduction in emissions linked to climate change would likely be overshadowed by significantly increasing expenses globally, hindering progress towards adopting renewable energy sources.

  </p>
  <p>
   This week, the bond market sent strong signals to President Donald Trump to alter his approach regarding his tariff policies before he ultimately reconsidered, possibly averting a potential disaster.
  </p>
  <p>
   Trump’s surprising shift on Wednesday came after significant upheaval in the $140 trillion worldwide bond market, with a particular impact on the $47 trillion segment related to U.S. fixed-income assets.
  </p>
  <p>
   With growing speculation that the alarming rise in Treasury yields was poised to trigger a cascade of issues for financial markets, the president gave in. This resulted in an intense backlash on Wall Street; subsequently, leading stock indices experienced a remarkable rebound, whereas bond yields dropped from their peak levels.

   However, with stocks falling sharply once more on Thursday, concerns persist about the resilience of the markets, since the path forward remains highly uncertain, especially given the tumultuous occurrences of the last week or so.

  <p>
   The law firm Susman Godfrey has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government following their targeting by President Donald Trump through an executive order.
  </p>
  <p>
   The company is handling the defamation lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems against Newsmax.
  </p>
  <p>
   The grievance states in part:
  </p>
  <p>
   In America, as stated by John Adams, we have a government based on laws rather than individuals. President Trump’s series of Executive Orders targeting law firms and others, like the one issued on April 9, 2025, aimed at Susman Godfrey, poses a significant challenge to this fundamental principle of our nation. By using the authority of his position to retaliate against entities and persons he disapproves of, the President is misusing his executive powers. Our Constitution and statutes do not provide a president with such unchecked authority; indeed, they were crafted specifically to prevent presidents from wielding arbitrary and unlimited power—the very thing that President Trump attempts through these Executive Orders.
  </p>
  <p>
   If the Judiciary does not firmly act now to reject this clearly unconstitutional executive order and similar ones, a perilous and potentially permanent precedent could be established. Regardless of individual views regarding President Trump or Susman Godfrey’s legal actions on behalf of their clientele, eventually another president with distinct policy objectives and personal disputes might occupy the Oval Office. This subsequent leader may sincerely assert that various entities or individuals pose "a threat to vital U.S. interests," echoing President Trump's allegations concerning Susman Godfrey. Should these current orders remain unchallenged, future administrations would encounter no barriers when aiming to counteract differing adversaries. Actions once considered outside acceptable conduct could thus turn into standard practice within just two hundred years.
  </p>
  <p>
   In simple terms, this could happen to any one of us.
