In the banking sector, we have fined about three banks, and Soko Loans in the digital lending sector. We fined Soko Loans N50m, and they are still sorting out how to pay through compliance. There are other banks that we have fined, but the approach we have been using is for them to pay remediation. If we go all the way, that is the full weight of the law, the fines would be a lot.
What we do now is to make them pay a remediation fee and take them through regulation and compliance. We are trying to improve compliance culture. To encourage companies to make it part of their practices, to make it part of their culture, we take them through compliance. Regarding some of the investigations, they are ongoing, and it takes time.
The Letter sent by FG not Tinubu to Senate did not request for an approval to deploy military officers outside the country. Recall that I tweeted that the President must comply with Section 5 (4) of the 1999 constitution. @officialABAT's letter was just to inform Senate about the on- going Niger Republic issue. So, it is MISLEADING that the Senate rejected Tinubu’s request. No request, no approval. Keep it clean. Tell those OAPs people to edit their news.
One of Russia’s biggest oil tankers was struck by a maritime drone, the latest salvo in a Ukrainian military campaign employing unmanned vehicles to attack far-away Russian targets by air and by sea.
The Russian-flagged ship, the Sig, was hit by a drone carrying 450 kilograms (992 pounds) of TNT shortly before midnight, according to a Ukraine Security Service source. The strike created a hole in the vessel’s engine room at the waterline on the starboard side, forcing the 11-strong crew to fight the water intake, Russian authorities said. The flooding eventually stopped.
Russia’s Federal Agency for Marine and River Transport said no casualties were reported and that the Sig was not carrying oil when the drone crashed into ship. Ukrainian officials, however, said some crew were injured and that the tanker was carrying fuel for the Russian military.
ganisucks: More like APC presidential campaign screening. One account has it that when Balabu saw the real presidential results, my guy catch cold. Immediately he began arguing with Adamu and everyone on the failed erstwhile 2023 presidential campaign team. Now, Adamu and Omisore have japaed, FFK and Keyamo have been dropped, my guy now wants to axe Elrufai. But ofcourse Elrufai no wan gree. The little Napoleon go fight till the last bullets. Balabu now wants to go full Jonathan 2015 Presidential Campaign team. Not 2011 campaign team O! 2015 team. The same team that collected wotowoto from Buhari. CPC don walka. Little wonder, Niger brouhaha. My guy, Balabu is between pepper and kuli kuli.
