Other restrictions are currently in force elsewhere in China, including in Shenzhen in the south and Dalian in the north-east.

Building collapse: NITP flays FG over lack of funding, implementation of town planning policies
President of the Nigerian Institute of Town Planners (NITP), Olutoyin Ayinde, has berated the Federal Government over its lack of funding for the implementation of town planning policies. He said the country lacks adequate town planning and its proper understanding, adding that these contribute to the increasing spate of building collapses across the country. Ayinde stated this during the inauguration ceremony of the Ogun State branch of the Association of Town Planning Consultants of Nigeria (ATOPCON), in Abeokuta on Thursday. He added that reasonable physical development in Nigeria can only be gotten if there is proper funding and implementation. So, we must be joking as a nation if we are not funding planning because the alternative to planning is chaos which is what we live in.

Troops attack Imo community, kill three
Three persons were killed on Tuesday when troops of the Nigerian Army invaded Orsu-Ihiteukwa, a community in Orsu Local Government Area of Imo State, Nigeria’s South-east. A resident of the community, Chidi Ibekaeme, told this newspaper that the soldiers have been attacking the community since September, 2021. He said although there are suspected ESN members in bushes, the community members were not aware, because they have never attacked residents of the community. “The unfortunate thing is that whenever they come (to attack ESN members), they normally kill innocent people who are in their various houses,” Mr Ibekaeme said. He said troops from 82 Division and 34 Brigade of the Nigerian Army killed the suspected separatists during a raid.

Naira devaluation, imported inflation linked to crude oil theft
Crude oil theft has been listed as one of the major causes of the sharp depreciation of the naira, and a contributor to the double-digit inflation Nigerians are experiencing at the moment. This is just as it has been observed that over N8 trillion that Nigeria lost to Oil theft exceeds the total tax revenue collected by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) in 2021. This amounts to about a 500,000 BPD shortfall all of which can be attributed to oil theft directly & indirectly. “This is over 50per per cent of our external reserve or over N8 trillion which exceeds the total tax revenue collected by the FIRS + 36 states + FCT in 2021,” he observed. In a report titled “FIRS 2021 Performance Update,” the agency said the total revenue of N6.405 trillion in both oil (N2.008 trillion) and non-oil (N4.396 trillion) revenues surpassed its target of N6.401 trillion for the year.
