A growing number of Nigerian residents are raising concerns following clampdown on crypto assets via the financial industry

Following the classification of cryptocurrency trading as a national security issue by Nigeria’s National Security Adviser (NSA), at least four fintech startups operating in the country—Opay, Moniepoint, Paga, and Palmpay—will block the accounts of customers engaging in cryptocurrency transactions and report those transactions to law enforcement agencies.

LegendHero:
That means we should pity him because he can’t do more than his abilities.

He has been consistent with his mediocrity. He needs help

LegendHero:
You would be surprised he might say it’s waste of money. He could say why can’t governor invest the money in providing water like his kind of Borehole.

Who need light when they are thirsty.

People are born with the same fundamental nature, but they develop and grow differently. Peter Obi's capabilities and qualities are limited, and he cannot provide what he himself does not possess

Nigeria’s second largest hydropower plant; the ZUNGERU POWER PLANT, was connected to the national grid last week leading to an improved supply in electricity to many areas across the country.

-The ambitious power plant represents a major achievement of the APC led government starting under former President Muhammadu Buhari who handed over engineering, procurement, and construction to a Chinese consortium comprising China National Electric Engineering Company (CNEEC) and Sinohydro after initial construction began in 2013.

-President Tinubu ensured continuity with the concession process which is set to earn Nigeria $70m annually for the next 30 years for managing the complex.

-The gigantic reservoir has a capacity to hold 10.4bn cubic meters of water

-The power project is estimated to generate 2.64 billion kWh of electricity annually, which will meet close to 10 per cent of Nigeria’s total domestic energy needs.

Slowly but surely, we will get there🎉

APM Terminals Confirm Plans To Invest $500 Million In Port Upgrade

It said this is outside the $600 million it injected in the acquisition of equipment, including trucks, container cranes as well as advanced operational controls, digital interfaces, and extensive training of employees since 2006.

Keith Svendsen, Chief Executive Officer of APM Terminals, in a statement titled “Our Vision For Nigerian Ports and Growth” revealed APMT is also at the verge of concluding a USD 115m upgrade project in Onne Rivers State.

Svendsen said the fresh investment is to ensure the terminal has sufficient capacity and capabilities to service the south/eastern Nigeria market and the growth expected in coming years, while the Apapa port continues to offer a unique access to Nigerian importers and exporters to international markets through not just road, but also rail and waterways, by means of barges.



He said Nigeria is a key market in Africa and that APMT is proud of the central role it plays in enabling containerized trade between the country and the rest of the world.

According to him, AP. Moller-Maersk has been present in Nigeria for more than 35 years and that it’s vessels have been serving the country essentially since Independence.

“Our two container terminals in Lagos and Onne handle about half of the containers going in and out of Nigeria, and our vessels transport close to a third.

“APM Terminals have been operating in Nigeria since 2006 and have invested more than USD 600 million during this period in equipment, including trucks and container cranes as well as in advanced operational controls, digital interfaces, and extensive training of employees to provide customers with a fully modern and safe experience. We employ about 2,500 people directly (99% Nigerians) and indirectly create employment for about 65,000 according to a recent socio-economic study.

“At APM Terminals, we believe strongly in the future prospects for the Nigerian economy, and the long-term opportunities that the current economic reforms and invitation for international investments will generate.

“At Onne, we are concluding a USD 115m upgrade project to ensure the terminal has sufficient capacity and capabilities to service the south/eastern Nigeria market and the growth expected in coming years, while the Apapa port continues to offer a unique access to Nigerian importers and exporters to international markets through not just road, but also rail and waterways, by means of barges

“Having been present there for close to two decades, we believe that Lagos, as the main port, needs further investments to cater for increasing trade volumes and to be able to attract large container vessels. While greenfield terminals like Lekki and later on Badagry will support economic growth in the long run, the more urgent requirement is in our view to upgrade the existing port infrastructure to ensure road, rail and barge networks can connect directly to mainline shipping.

“We have developed plans to undertake the necessary terminal upgrade investments in Apapa to give access to vessels with deep draft and requiring large ship-to-shore cranes. We seek to do this under a long-term agreement with the government to support our ambition to continuously improve the import and especially export opportunities for the country, creating jobs and diversifying opportunities locally.

“As we are still not at the finish line, we have intensified talks with the administration and port authority to make these plans concrete and I’m pleased with the significant progress made towards implementation. That is why I earlier this year publicly told about the proposal to invest more than USD 500 million that we have discussed with the President Tinubu both in February,  and which we further elaborated in late April. It should go hand-in-hand with a long-term partnership.
For us in APM Terminals, it is important that we not only operate highly efficient terminals, but also that we play a role contributing to the development of the local communities and bring in opportunities for growth and new prospects for Nigerians” he added.

Yesterday, do not invest in Lagos. Today, Lagos GDP hits N41Tr

Investors: Shey na your dry state with N30m GDP we should come and invest?😫

DMerciful:
It is not victim mentality.

It was targeted at landmark! Everybody knows this

Was any of landmark buildings touched?

Agulu Obama and his nonsense rhetorics.
When President Shehu Shagari conceptualised the 3rd Mainland Bridge in 1976, a lot of people called it a white elephant project. They said Lagos had 2 existing bridges - Carter and Eko Bridge. A third bridge was unnecessary. Victoria Island was partially developed, and if at all a bridge was needed, it should end at Ebute-Metta.

Nigeria was going through a tougher time with back to back military coups, structural adjustment programs, etc. Shagari continued with the project and IBB despite all the challenges completed it and extended the bridge from Ebute Metta to Oworoshoki. Today, Lagos state can barely survive without the 3rd Mainland Bridge, and everyone is now clamouring for a 4th Mainland Bridge.

When Gen Abacha started the construction of NLNG in 1995, Nigeria could be likened to hell. Cancelled elections, interim government, truncated democracy, and foreign sanctions, Nigerians were cooking with sawdust stoves. There was no food to eat, and universities were shut down. Today, NLNG has paid over $18bn to the FG as dividends.

When PBAT envisioned the Lekki Free Trade Zone, the deep sea port, Red and Blue rail lines in 2003, people thought he was bluffing. Today, the free trade zone houses the biggest refinery in the world and arguably the most important asset to our economy. The Lekki deep sea port will generate more than 50% of Nigeria's GDP.

Agulu Obama lacks vision. A completely shallow mind who can't see beyond his nostrils. 8 years as governor with zero legacies now turned Twitter influencer.

Yesterday, the National Grid got a massive boost as 624MW was added from Zungeru HPP.

This was after a successful reliability test on the units.
With this addition, NESI will be better and the national grid shall grow. Let's continue to prioritize #energyaccountability and #energymanagement as we work towards a more sustainable future.

Kudos to continuity of APC Government.

My advice to you is just to sit back, relax and watch as Engr. Dave Umahi delivers what you think is impossible. Action is better than cho cho cho.

I also think you are threatened by the rising profile and undeniable competence of Minister of Works, Dave Umahi and the reality that he will one day become the first president of Nigeria from the South East in the 4th Republic while you take your place as one of most dangerously deceitful and bitter politician to have ever graced Nigeria's political landscape

President Tinubu Completes Port Harcourt - Aba Railroad Started by Pres. Buhari as train service commence..Wok continues to Enugu, Markudi to Maiduguri

Former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, is not relenting on his incessant attacks on the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 election, Peter Obi.

He accuses Obi of threatening to sack non-indegenes in the employ of the Anambra State government while he was the governor.

Omokri who has been calling out Obi in the past few days including alleging that Obi did not build schools in the state, but rather built a world class brewery, dug up an old tweet where the ex-governor reportedly made the threat.


Please fact-check me: After Lagos repatriated homeless Nigerians from Anambra who were living under Lagos bridges back to Anambra State, then Governor Peter Obi threatened to retaliate against Lagos and other states because he deemed Lagos State's action as unconstitutional.

However, this same then Governor Peter Obi forgot that he was the one who first provoked Lagos State by threatening to sack all non-indigenes in the Anambra State civil service. Please read it here yourself. https://allafrica.com/stories/201109201121.html

Can you imagine how Peter Obi and Oby Ezekwesili would have danced naked in public if Lagos State ever threatened to sack non-indigenes?

This is the same Obi that blasted Lagos for demolishing illegal structures, yet, as Governor, he personally led the efforts to demolish illegal structures in Anambra.
