The Fête de la Musique, also known as Music Day, Make Music Day or World Music Day, is an annual music celebration taking place on 21 June.

The concept of an all-day musical celebration on the days of the solstice, was originated by the French Minister of Culture, Jack Lang. The festival later became celebrated in 120 countries around the world.

Fête de la Musique's purpose is to promote music in two ways:

Amateur and professional musicians are encouraged to perform in the streets, under the slogan "Faites de la musique" ("make music", a homophone of Fête de la Musique).
Many free concerts are organized, making all genres of music accessible to the public. Two of the caveats to being sanctioned by the official Fête de la Musique organization in Paris are that all concerts must be free to the public, and all performers donate their time for free. This is true of most participating cities, now, as well.

In celebration of Fete de la Musique, The Alliance Francaise, in partnership with Institut Francaise, will also host another event to be headlined by French Rapper, Leeroy of the legendary siana supa crew, alongside French DJ Aleqs Notal and renowned Nigerian Percussionist, Wura Samba at African Artists’ Foundation in Victoria Island, Lagos.

Nigerian designs new software to reduce long queues at ATMs

Since the introduction of ATM’s, people withdrawing a considerable low amount of money inside a financial institution (over the counter withdrawal) are usually referred back to ATM. This introduces queue most times on the ATM. The queue gets almost static if the people on the queue are withdrawing large amount of notes that is more than what the ATM can bring out per dispense. Usually financial institutions that offer the services of ATM even modify the notes per dispense of their ATM’s to be lower than the default. They do this to checkout dispense error that might occur when the ATM dispenser is dispensing large number of notes.
