Chief Bioku Rahman, the outgoing Chairman of MAN in Kwara and Kogi, disclosed this in Ilorin on Tuesday while speaking during the Association’s 10th Annual General Meeting (AGM).

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the meeting’s theme is “Tackling the Challenges of the Manufacturing Sector: A Win-Win For Government and Local Manufacturers”.

“The present interest rates are killing businesses.

“We therefore ask the Federal Government to urgently direct the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to drastically reduce interest rates on industrial loans.

“The CBN should also direct commercial banks to reduce interest rates on industrial loans.

“The interest rates charged on industrial loans and other loans released as COVID-19 palliatives should be significantly reduced further to 1%,” Rahman said.

He also urged the Bank of Industry (BOI) to approve and urgently roll out further reductions in its lending rates to industries.

"We are asking the CBN to wave many conditions for its foreign exchange policies to local manufacturers.

“Similarly, CBN can widen the window of foreign exchange to local industries, while urging the Federal Government to harmonise taxes and levies at Federal, State, and Local Government levels.”

Rahman noted that a Heavy-Duty Gas-Energy Generation and Distribution Plant was exclusively needed for Kwara industrialists.

Speaking also, Damilola Adelodun, the state’s Commissioner for Business, Innovation and Technology, pledged the state government’s continued support for the Association to boost the state’s economy.

Adelodun, who represented Gov. AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara, reiterated the government’s resolve to create a conducive environment for the manufacturers in the state.

“The state has undertaken several key initiatives to support the manufacturing sector and overall economic development.

“The Urban Renewal Initiative is transforming the architectural landscape of Kwara to enhance its aesthetic appeal and functionality, making it a more attractive place for businesses and residents,” she said.

In his address, the President of the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), Chief Francis Meshioye, described the relationship between the state government and MAN as cordial.

He appealed to the state government for infrastructure around the industrial estates to be upgraded.

 The Only Relationship Advice You’ll Ever Need Danstel 24, July 2020  You may already be rolling your eyes at the vast oversimplification of this title… and if you were to go back to read the many articles I’ve written on relationships, you’d know that I don’t think the secret to romantic success can be boiled down to one simple piece of advice. However, if people ask me what is the most important action we can take to improve our relationships and stay in love, I do have an answer, and that is to  just be kind . Yes, the suggestion seems obvious on one hand, but it’s actually really hard for most couples to take at a certain point in their relationship. Many people I’ve talked to resisted the recommendation, responding with statements like “I can’t do that, or “why would I be nice to him/her?” To understand why we have this resistance and why we often find it challenging to simply be kind to our partner, there are three important concepts to consider: Fear of Intimacy  – The reason ma

What's Ruining your Sex Life?

What’s Ruining Your Sex Life? Danstel17,2020 Sexuality invites us to be in the moment, connected to our body, our senses, and to another person. Yet having a “ critical inner voice ” sounding off in our minds during sex is a little like having an extra person in the room critiquing everything from our desirableness to our performance. These critical inner voices take us out of the experience, remove us from our bodies and leave us disconnected from our partner, robbing us of the precious aspects of sexuality. It’s probably no surprise to hear that research has shown that having higher self-esteem and a more positive body image is correlated with increased sexual satisfaction. On the other hand, negative thoughts toward ourselves heighten our stress levels, which can  decrease sexual satisfaction . One recent  study  showed that measures of self-esteem, autonomy, and empathy were positively associated with sexual pleasure, while other  research  has revealed that people with low self-es

  Romantic Love In a Relationship AUTHOR:  danstel    PUBLISHED DATE:  AugusT 24,2020  Romantic love in a relationship is easy to identify.  It’s when a man and a woman meet and find themselves physically, emotionally and spiritually attracted to each other.  There is a “chemistry” there that cannot be explained.  The two just “click.”  In such a relationship, you find yourself wanting to spend more time with her.  You think of ways to impress her to get her to like you more.  You spend more time on your appearance to look good for her.  You thoroughly clean your home and car for her.  You may give her flowers, candy, and other small gifts, along with cards that express your love for her.  You plan elaborate dates with her.  You may even write her love letters.  Here is where you’re probably your most romantic.  These behaviors are your way of communicating how much she means to her.  She is so important to you that you treat no other person is such special ways.   This period of court
