Rivers Government Reacts To Supreme Court Judgements On Amaewhule, LG Chairmen - Politics

Image
  PRESS RELEASE SUPREME COURT JUDGMENT ON RIVERS STATE FUNDS AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATION We have taken note of reports in the media regarding the recent judgment of the Supreme Court concerning the funds of Rivers State and the administration of local governments in the state. At this time, we are awaiting a detailed briefing on the implications of the judgment. We will carefully evaluate the situation and determine the next steps to take in the best interest of Rivers State and its people. Though we have not gotten the details of the judgment from our legal team, we enjoin Rivers people to remain calm, law abiding and go about our legitimate businesses as we seek clarity on the judgment. We believe that the determination of the main issue of defection of the 27 lawmakers is a matter not before the Supreme Court as it is pending at the Federal High Court in Port Harcourt. Since the issue of defection wasn't on the table before the learned Justices, in their e...

CBN’s Reforms Are Attracting More Foreign Investors– Global, Nigerian Analysts - Politics

Image
  Major financial analysts across the global have expressed optimism that Nigeria’s investment climate has significantly improved, paving way for foreign investors swooping on Nigeria assets. According to the analysts the development has largely been spurred by the impact of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) reforms in the financial sector now spreading across key sectors of the economy. The country is now getting a favorable nod from investors, pushing stocks higher and bond yields lower as painful reforms restore confidence. Already, Nigeria’s sovereign risk spread has fallen to the lowest level since January 2020, erasing the premium accumulated during the pandemic and subsequent strain on its economy. While US President Donald Trump’s widening trade war has taken emerging markets on a wild ride, Nigeria has quietly held its own, attracting foreign capital reassured by currency reforms and other measures designed to revive the economy of Africa’s most-populous nat...

"Show Respect": Trump, US VP In Fiery Exchange With Zelenskyy Over Russian War - Foreign Affairs

Image
  President Trump told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that he was “gambling with World War III” during a fiery Oval Office exchange Friday. The high-stakes visit went off the rails shortly after Vice President JD Vance leaned into Zelensky for seeming to slight his American counterparts. Vance said it was “disrespectful for Zelensky to come into the Oval Office, litigating in front of the American media,” according to a pool report. Trump then raised his voice, telling Zelensky, “you’re not really in a good position right now.” “You’re gambling with WWIII,” the American president said. “Have you said thank you once?” the vice president chimed in. “You went to Pennsylvania to campaign for the opposition.” Trump then told Zelensky he was “running low on soldiers … then you’re telling us you don’t want a cease-fire.” SOURCE ( Quote ) ( Report ) ( Like ) ( Share ) Re: "Show Respect": Trump, US VP In Fiery Exchange With Zelenskyy Over Russian War by God10...

Oando PLC Wins Bid For Guaracara Refinery In Trinidad - Business

Image
  Oando PLC has been chosen as the preferred bidder for the lease of the Guaracara refinery. Acting Prime Minister Stuart Young, (also Minister of Energy) said the decision was largely based on Oando’s strong financial track record, particularly its $1.5 billion acquisition of ConocoPhillips’ assets in Nigeria. The evaluation committee noted that both Oando and the CRO Consortium had similar capabilities in operating refineries, but Oando’s ability to secure substantial financing in the upstream oil sector gave it an advantage. Young also made it clear that protecting Paria Fuel Trading Company’s assets was crucial to ensuring the continued supply of domestic fuel. “We have to protect the assets of Paria to always ensure that we can provide domestic fuel to our population,” Young said. He stressed that any potential bidder must show a commitment to restarting the refinery and not just acquiring Paria’s assets for bunkering purposes. Young also said that Oando’s propo...

Data obtained from the website of the CBN showed that the apex bank started making these transfers to the NSA in August 2016, about a year into the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari , BusinessDay reports. There was no such transfer made in the years leading up to that, according to CBN data going back to 2004. But since the first transfer was done, the practice continued every month until November 2018. The CBN has not published data on its operations since 2018, and it is, therefore, unclear if the ...

Image

Image
  Nigeria’s cost-of-living crisis has eased for the first time since President Tinubu assumed office in May 2023, offering an unexpected respite for households and a possibility of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)’s interest rate cut in the next Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting.

A 50kg of local parboiled rice now sells for an average of N95,000 in the city, compared to N105,000 sold three months ago. The price of a big basket of fresh tomatoes has dropped 70 percent in La...
