The Federal Government of Nigeria has set machinery in motion to deepen strategic engagement with State Governors and frontline emergency responders to fast-track the nationwide adoption of "112" as the country’s unified national emergency toll-free number, reports ITREALMS.
This development was the highpoint of a high-level briefing between a delegation from the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), led by the Chairman of its Governing Board, Chief Idris Ibikunle Olorunnimbe, and the Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima, at the Presidential Villa on Tuesday.
In the quiet hush of a carpentry workshop in Nazareth, the scent of cedar and sawdust once hung heavy in the air.

Yet, in the rhythmic sweep of a plane over wood, St. Joseph was participating in a mystery that predates time itself.
For the readers of WeekendDigits@ITREALMS, where the world is often measured in bits, bytes, and bottom lines, the narrative of "work" can sometimes feel like a secular necessity; a means to an end.

In Nigeria today, the monster of inflation is rearing its head with unrelenting intensity. Prices are spiralling out of control, and the average business owner and individual are grappling with the harsh reality of inflation's bite. While this economic challenge is not unique to Nigeria, its impact is profoundly felt by those at the bottom of the pyramid.
According to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), Nigeria's annual inflation rate climbed to 25.8 per cent in August 2023, from 24.08 per cent in July, marking the highest rate since September 2005. Experts point out that the rate reflects the impact of the removal of fuel subsidies, the devaluation of the official exchange rate and security issues in food-producing regions.
