Emefiele does not use private jets – CBN

The Central Bank of Nigeria on Saturday denied reports that the CBN Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele and members of his family flew private chartered jet to the burial of his mother.
The apex bank in a statement issued by its Acting Director, Corporate Communications, Mr Isaac Okoroafor, said neither the governor nor any of its top official had engaged the services of chartered private jets since 2015.
It said while it had been a practice for its governors in the past to use private chartered jets when embarking on urgent national assignments, such practice was stopped by Emefiele when he assumed office in 2015.
It said Emefiele had taken the decision in response to the economic downturn which the country was suffering and also in line with the cost cutting stance of the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The CBN in the statement said the governor and his family members flew a commercial Arik flight from Lagos to Benin for their mother’s burial.
The statement reads in part, “The Central Bank of Nigeria has, for several years in the past, used private and official chartered flights in making urgent travels to meet needs in remote, not-easily- accessible locations or in cases where timing might be critical to matters of urgent national importance.
This practice was in place long before the assumption of office of the current Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele.
“In fact it is on record that the past two CBN Governors actively used chartered private jet services to meet urgent national assignments.
“However in 2015, in response to the economic downturn and the cost-cutting stance of government, Mr. Emefiele ordered the stoppage of the use of chartered flights by the Bank.
“Since then, neither Mr. Emefiele nor any of the Deputy Governors has used the services of private chartered flights and the CBN has not paid a kobo for private jet services.
“Mr Emefiele and indeed other principal officers of the CBN have religiously maintained the modest disposition of using regular flights, including doing several trips by road to and from different parts of the country.
“It is also important to note here that no private jet was used by Mr. Emefiele, his immediate family, or indeed other principal officers of the Bank during the burial of Mr Emefiele’s mother.”

It stated that while the bank had in 1990 acquired a dedicated jet to facilitate its smooth operations particularly for urgent currency movement, the jet was however taken over by the military administration when there was a more urgent need for it at the State House.

Fire kills 105 during Hindu New Year

Afeez Hanafi with agency reports
A temple in the southern Indian state of Kerala was gutted by fire on Sunday, killing no fewer than 105 people.
At least, 500 others were injured in the inferno, which broke out from a fireworks display, marking Hindu New Year celebration.
The explosion at the Puttingal temple killed at least 105 people and injured more than 500, CNN quoted Indian authorities as saying.
It was learnt that the building was crowded with thousands of devotees celebrating the Hindu new year when the explosion happened at around 3.30am local time.
One part of the Puttingal temple in the village of Paravoor, near the city of Kollam, is reported to have collapsed, trapping people underneath, as the blaze swept through the complex, Sky News reports.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the injured in hospital.
Television footage showed images of huge clouds of white smoke billowing from the temple, as fireworks were still going off in the night sky.
Successive explosions sent huge chunks of concrete flying as far as half a mile, eyewitnesses said.
Nirmala, 58, said he was sleeping in her house with her daughter and granddaughter when theexplosion occurred.
He said, “I thought there was an earthquake and hid under the bed,” she said. “When I came out, there was no electricity. People were running everywhere, and burnt bodies were on the ground. The smell was really bad.”
A resident, Krishna Das, said, “People were screaming in the dark … no one knew how to find their way out.”
According to reports, the blaze is thought to have been caused by a firecracker that fell on a shed where fireworks were stored for the festivities.
The air force and navy were called in to evacuate the most critically hurt and medics have been flown in from the capital New Delhi.
Kerala home minister, Ramesh Chennithala, said firefighters and police worked through the night to douse the fire and take the injured to hospital.
“Now the situation is under control… the police are on the spot,” he said.
State health authorities said many of the injured had been driven to the state capital Thiruvananthapuram as hospitals in Kollam were stretched.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the site and a hospital where some of those wounded in the blast were being treated.
Every year, the Paravoor temple holds a competitive fireworks display, with groups putting on light shows for thousands of devotees gathered for the last day of a seven-day festival honouring the Hindu goddess Bhadrakali.
This year’s competition was happening without permission after the state’s High Court banned competitive light shows at temples.

State Labour minister Shibu Baby John said incident would be investigated.
