By Informationng Kemi Badenoch, the leader of the United Kingdom’s (UK) Conservative Party, has expressed her desire to prevent Britain from suffering the same fate as her country of origin, Nigeria. Badenoch, who is the first black woman to lead a major UK party, made these comments during her first speech of the year at an event organized by Onward, a British think tank.

By Gistnews Nigeria’s former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, has clarified that she is not connected to the $52.5 million that was recently brought back to the country from the United States of America (USA).
