  • K. Lee Graham Miss Teen Usa 2014
    K. LEE GRAHAM MISS TEEN USA 2014 K. Lee Graham of Chapin, South Carolina became Miss Teen USA on August 2nd at Atlantis, Paradise Island Resort in The Bahamas. Hours after being crowned, the 18-year-old honors student arrived in New York City still in disbelief that the new title as Miss Teen USA was really hers. The small town of Chapin is home to one of South Carolina’s most academically competitive high schools (Chapin High) where K. Lee currently holds a 5.024 GPA and is ranked number one in her class. She believes that education is the foundation for anything you wish to accomplish in life which K. Lee has promoted in classrooms across the country throughout her reign. Born Katherine Lee, the abbreviation for K. Lee (“Kaylee”) stuck after her youngest sister couldn’t quite pronounce her full name and therefore took the liberty to shorten it to include only the first letter “K.” Passionate about theater, the teen who describes herself as quirky and a “drama nerd” has studied drama at the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities’ intensive summer program as well as participated in several local productions. K. Lee is the second oldest of five children and has been raised to be penny-wise to save for the college of her choice. As a member of the SAT Team which preps students for the test, K. Lee will attend the University of South Carolina Honors College where she plans to study international business and marketing this fall with several scholarships.

    December 20, 2019 Christmas Edition Unity Bank Towers Unity Bank Plc, Plot 42, Ahmed Onibudo Street, Victoria Island, Lagos Head Office Annex Plot 785, Herbert Macaulay Way, Central Business District, Abuja, FCT The Highlights Headline inflation increased by 0.24% to 11.85% in November Headline inflation sustained its upward trajectory, increasing by 0.24% to 11.85% in November. This is the 3rd consecutive monthly increase and the highest level in 19 months. The uptick in general price level can largely be attributed to the combined effect of reduced supply stemming from the closure of land borders and increased demand typically associated with the festive period. Conversely, month-on-month inflation declined for the first time in six months to 1.02% as the effects of the border closure moderated from October to November. All other inflation sub-indices however increased; food inflation was up 0.39% to 14.48% driven by increase in the price of bread, tubers, cereals, among others, core inflation increased by 0.11% to 8.99%, while rural and urban inflation rose to 11.30% and 12.47% respectively. President Buhari signs 2020 budget into law On December 17, President Buhari signed the 2020 budget into law. This comes 12 days after the Senate and the House of Representatives passed the Appropriation Bill on December 5, 2019. The lawmakers increased the budget by N264 billion (2.56%) to N10.59 trillion from N10.33 trillion presented by President Buhari on October 8. The budget is 20% more than the N8.8trn 2019 budget and 16% greater than the N9.1trn budgeted for 2018.
