OECD warns of world’s worst peacetime recession in a century
The world is facing its worst peacetime recession in a century due to the coronavirus, the Organisation for Economic and Social Development (OECD) warned on Wednesday.
“That applies even if the virus continues to recede.
“But the economic outcome will be much worse if a second wave of rapid contagion arises later in the year,’’ the intergovernmental think tank warned.
According to the OECD, it is taking the unusual step of publishing a double set of predictions in the latest edition of its twice-yearly Economic Outlook.
It added that it has been a best-case scenario for a worldwide single wave of COVID-19, and a worst-case scenario of a widespread second wave.
“In the single-hit scenario, world gross domestic product (GDP) is forecast to decline by 6 per cent this year, however will rise by 5.2 per cent by 2021 to return to 98.9 per cent of its 2019 level.
“In the two-wave scenario, global GDP is projected to decline by 7.6 per cent this year, recovering by only 2.8 per cent next year to reach 95 per cent of its 2019 level.
“Even in the more favourable scenario, in many advanced economies, the equivalent of five years or more of per capita real income growth could be lost by 2021,” the OECD warned.
OECD chief economist Laurence Boone argued that ultra-accommodative monetary policies and higher public debt are necessary and will be accepted as long as economic activity and inflation are depressed, and unemployment is high. 2020 (dpa/NAN)

$182m needed for ‘lifesaving aid’ to Nigeria — WFP
The World Food Programme (WFP) says over 182 million dollars (N68 billion) is needed to “sustain lifesaving aid” to Nigeria over the next six months.
WFP’s senior spokesperson, Ms Elisabeth Byrs, stated this on Tuesday, according to a report by the United Nations.
The report said “help and funding are needed urgently for millions of people hit severely by the effects of the coronavirus pandemic”.
They include “conflict-hit communities ‘on life-support’” in the northeastern states of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe.
“We are concerned by conflict-affected communities in northeast Nigeria who already face extreme hunger and who are especially vulnerable.
“They are on life-support and need assistance to survive,” the report quoted Byrs as saying.
The three so-called BAY states, have been plagued by a decade-long insurgency that has spilled over into the Lake Chad region, the report said.
It remains among the most severe humanitarian crises in the world, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
The report said about 7.9 million people, mainly women and children, were in need of urgent assistance in the region.
“That’s why WFP is distributing now two months’ worth of food and nutrition assistance in IDP camps and among vulnerable communities.
“This is to ensure that people have enough food while they are on full or partial lockdown”, Byrs reportedly said.
WFP said needs were also growing nationwide following a sharp drop in international oil prices since the outbreak of the virus.
As of Tuesday, there were 13,464 confirmed cases and 365 deaths from COVID-19 in the country, according to the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC).
Byrs said no fewer than 3.8 million people mainly working in the informal sector were at the verge of losing their jobs “amid rising hardship”.
She said the number could rise to 13 million if movement restrictions (inter-state restrictions) continued for a longer period.
“This would add to the almost 20 million (23 per cent of the labour force) already out of work.
“In a country where about 90 million people, 46 per cent of the population, live on less than two dollars (N752) a day, this is a real concern.
“The urban poor who depend on a daily wage to feed themselves and their families have been very hit by movement restrictions to contain the spread of the virus,” the WFP spokesperson said. (NAN)

El Rufai opens up Kaduna, gives guidelines
Gov. Nasir el Rufai has opened up Kaduna State after 75 days of partial lockdown, following the invocation of the Quarantine Act.
In a state broadcast on Tuesday, the governor paid tribute to the people of the state for their immense sacrifices in the last two and half months as containment measures against Covid-19 were implemented.
He said that as from Wednesday, the Quarantine Order would be amended to permit significant reopening of the state, especially businesses and places of worships.
He, however, said that schools and markets would remain closed because at this stage of COVID-19 containment, it was still considered unsafe for markets and schools to reopen.
He promised that government would keep engaging the relevant stakeholders on the matter to determine the appropriate timing and conditions precedent.
‘’Businesses can reopen, subject to the provision of thermometers for temperature checks, sanitizers or hand washing equipment and physical distancing measures within all facilities. Working hours will be between 9am and 3p.m. daily,’’ he said.
The governor further said that church services are allowed only on Sundays and mosques are allowed to conduct only Friday Jumat services for the time being, subject to compliance with the safety stipulations.
El Rufai maintained that transport operators must reduce capacity to not more than two passengers per row and not more than 50 per cent of capacity.
The governor said that the ban on intra-state travel has been lifted but government officials would continue to control state boundaries to reduce unauthorised interstate travel.
‘’Within the state, security checkpoints will be allowed only to enforce compliance with the night curfew.
”During the day, any violations of the adjusted Quarantine Order like failure to wear facemasks will be enforced by Operation Yaki, KASTLEA, the Vigilance Service and Mobile Courts,’’ he said.
According to him, ‘’supermarkets and personal services providers such as hair dressing and barbing salons can reopen; hotels can fully open, but with their restaurants and bars offering only room service”.
The governor warned that restaurants may all reopen after decontamination, but still restricted to takeaway services.
On office, he said that public servants would be summoned back to work in phases to be announced by the Head of Service.
El Rufai cautioned that after the opening up of the state, the next step of staying safe while pursuing socio-economic activities was strictly in the hands of each individual.
‘’While we require citizens to practice personal responsibility, the places where they work, worship or shop and the vehicles they travel in must also protect their health and safety.
”Any facility or sector that violates the guidelines will be closed down under the Quarantine Order No. 2 of June 2020 that I will sign today for immediate gazetting,” he said. (NAN)

I am Aregbesola’s leader, no cold war between us — Tinubu
Sen. Bola Tinubu, National Leader of All Progressives Congress (APC), on Tuesday debunked speculations of any cold war between him and the Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, stating that he remains his leader.
Tinubu, in a statement by his media adviser, Tunde Rahman, stated that ‘there is no war, cold or hot, between us.”
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC), the highest decision-making body within the APC in Lagos, had on Tuesday passed a resolution calling for the disbandment of all factional groups within the party.
There were online media reports that the resolution had worsened a phantom cold war between Tinubu and Aregbesola.
Tinubu, however, said that there had never been and there would never be any form of misunderstanding between the two of them following the dissolution of the groups.
He said that Aregbesola, a former governor of Osun, had been unswervingly and wholly committed to the progressive ideology of Tinubu’s political family.
“Today, the Governor’s Advisory Council, the highest decision-making body within the All Progressives Congress in Lagos State, passed a resolution calling for the disbandment of all factional groups within the party.
“This was to promote discipline, harmony and cohesion and engender party supremacy. The APC is one united political family in Lagos. I remain Ogbeni Aregbesola’s leader,” Tinubu said.
The former governor of Lagos said: “Our political family remains strong. The GAC is a very strong body within the APC leadership structure in Lagos.
“And we are staying focused in our commitment to building and maintaining a cohesive political party. “Its resolution is not targeted at any particular individual or collection of individuals.
“The resolution was to restate the often-stated position that the only group known to us is APC and not any of the factional groups. The GAC position does not imply any division within the group.
“The resolution is well-meaning and should not be misinterpreted,” he said.
Tinubu expressed disappointment in the claims, adding that to do so impulsively as the authors of the report had done was to take the frontier of reporting away from facts to the realm of groundless speculations.
He noted that the GAC position does not imply any division within the group.
“The resolution is well-meaning and should not be misinterpreted. It was to renew the commitment to APC and its unity.
“Ogbeni Aregbesola is a strong member of the political family,” he said. (NAN)
