House of Representatives, yesterday, asked the Federal government to declare a state of emergency on unemployment in the country. The lawmakers also asked the Nigerian Immigration Service, NIS, to move in immediately, and tighten the noose on foreigners to ensure they are not taking jobs meant for Nigerians in various organisations. The motion, which was brought to the plenary by House Majority Leader, Femi Gbajabiamila, and 78 others, also sought legislative interventions in the ongoing unemployment crisis in Nigeria. The lawmakers noted that the unemployment crisis in the country has reached such an alarming rate as to be of serious concern to all, as various reports put Nigeria’s unemployment rate now at 24 per cent. They said apart from the reports, there were glaring evidence of joblessness in all states of the federation. The Reps said there is an inextricable nexus between unemployment, corruption, crime, poverty and insecurity. They expressed concern that if this tide is not arrested, it would portend great danger to the welfare of the citizenry as enshrined in sections 14 and 16 of the 1999 constitution. The House presided over by Deputy Speaker Sulaiman Lasun, resolved amongst other things, that a state of emergency be declared on unemployment as sought in the prayers. It also resolved that urgent steps be taken to amend the Immigration Act to provide stiffer punishment for violations of immigration laws, including employment of undocumented aliens and to tighten all other relevant sections of the Act with a view to protecting Nigerian workers. The NIS was also asked to immediately, commence paying unscheduled visits to organisations employing foreigners to ensure that they comply with rules and that foreigners employed possess the requisite qualifications and are not doing jobs meant for Nigerians. http://nationalmirroronline.net/new/reps-ask-fg-to-declare-emergency-on-unemployment/ Cc: Lalasticlala, Dominique

ranks nation 169th globally Mauritius, Uganda, Benin, Senegal among best Despite sustained efforts by the federal government to improve Nigeria’s business environment, indications showed that most of the efforts had not impacted positively on the nation’s business climate with its ranking at the 169th position among the 189 countries assessed on economic reforms implementation. The ‘Doing Business 2016: Measuring Regulatory Quality and Efficiency’ report published yesterday by the World Bank showed that Nigeria moved just a point higher than the 2015 position of 170th in the global rankings. The country also scored poorly in Distance to Frontier assessment index, scoring 44.69 per cent in 2016 as against the 43.56 per cent in 2015. During the period under review, the country was reported to have carried out two reforms more than it did last year. Of the 35 countries covered by the report in Sub-Saharan Africa, Nigeria came 25th, with Mauritius, Uganda, Kenya, Mauritania, Benin and Senegal ranking among the top best improvers. The World Bank Group’s annual ease of doing business measurement indicated that Sub-Saharan Africa economies continued to implement reforms to improve the business climate for domestic entrepreneurs, with members of the Organisation for the Harmonization of Business Law in Africa, OHADA, particularly active during the past year. According to the report, out of the 69 reforms carried out in 35 economies in Sub-Saharan Africa, 14 of the OHADA’s 17 member countries implemented 29 reforms. This is even as the report showed that reforms implemented in Sub-Saharan Africa accounted for about 30 per cent of the 231 reforms implemented worldwide during the past year. The Breton Woods institution disclosed further that the region also boasted half of the world’s top 10 improvers, that is, countries that implemented at least three reforms and moved up on the global rankings scale. Amongst the improvers in the continent are Uganda, Kenya, Mauritania, Benin and Senegal. The report noted further that the region stood out in implementing reforms under the Getting Credit indicator, adding that of the 32 reforms made globally, 14 were carried out in Sub-Saharan Africa, with Kenya and Uganda making significant progress. Commenting on the report findings, Rita Ramalho, Manager of the Doing Business project, noted that “despite great improvements, governments in Sub-Saharan Africa will need to continue working on closing the gap in many key areas that impact the ease of doing business, especially increasing access to reliable electricity and providing effective commercial dispute resolution – two areas where the region scores the lowest globally.” Clarifying further, the bank reported that on Getting Electricity, it required an average of 130 days for an entrepreneur to get a new electricity connection and, once connected, customers experience frequent outages lasting almost 700 hours per year, thereby making Sub-Saharan Africa the region with the highest duration of outages globally. This is even as the region was also ranked poorly in the areas of Trading Across Borders and Registering Property. At the continental level, Mauritius was reported to rank best in the region, with a global ranking of 32, performing particularly well in the areas of Paying Taxes and Enforcing Contracts. It takes only 152 hours for entrepreneurs to pay taxes in the country, compared to 261 hours globally. The bank stated further: “Rwanda has the next best ranking in the region, with a global ranking of 62. Rwanda also implemented the highest number of reforms in the region, with six reforms carried out in the past year. The country ranks second in the world on the Getting Credit indicator and 12th in the world on the Registering Property indicator. “Ten years ago, an entrepreneur in Rwanda took 370 days to transfer property. Now, it takes 32 days which is less than in Germany.

Petrol queues may soon reappear across the country as 70 per cent of the oil marketers have suspended fuel importation over the inability of the Federal Government to settle about N291 billion subsidy arrears. The development may have been responsible for the pockets of fuel queues that resurfaced in major parts of Lagos two weeks ago. The latest move to suspend fuel imports was disclosed by the former Minister of Interior and Managing Director of Integrated Oil and Gas Limited, Mr. Emmanuel Iheanacho, at the opening of the 2015 Oil Trading and Logistics (OTL Africa) Downstream Expo in Lagos yesterday. The Integrated Oil boss regretted that the inability of government to settle the subsidy claims when due leads to distortion in business plan, thus fuelling a regime of apathy and uncertainty. He said despite an arrangement that subsidy would be settled within 45 days, payment lingered for as long as six months, a situation that has led to cut in credit line usually extended to importers by financial institutions. Under the current situation, he said fuel scarcity would be a recurring decimal as long as government fails to meet the payment timeline of 45 days. As a way out of the doldrum, the former minister canvassed deregulation of the downstream sector, for investors to see a profit incentive, to encourage massive investment. “The subsidy we currently maintain in this country is for those who can afford it. Let government go ahead and remove the subsidy. There is a need to restructure the downstream sector,” he advised. Recall that the Executive Secretary of Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria (MOMAN), Mr. Obafemi Olawore, had in June raised the alarm over the inability of the Federal Government to offset about N291 billion subsidy claims. But the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), as part of measures to douse the tension occasioned by non-payment of subsidy claims, had two weeks ago assured that it would explore new financing mechanisms to offset outstanding debts on subsidy claims, which the Federal Government owes petroleum marketers in the country. Its Managing Director, Mr. Emmanuel Kachikwu, had said this during a meeting with MOMAN and the Depot and Petroleum Products Association (DAPPMA), explaining that these are parts of the extant measures it was taking to ensure that supply of petroleum products in the country is sustained even into the forthcoming yuletide. He equally promised to, in the interim, arrange a meeting with the relevant creditors (bankers) to ease off pressure on marketers and extend the credit lines. The NNPC boss noted that several financing mechanisms were being explored to offset the commitment to oil marketers, hinting at the possibility of exploring a monthly payment option. “In future, we may explore some creative means to prevent backlogs,” he said. http://sunnewsonline.com/new/scarcity-oil-marketers-to-down-tools-over-n291bn-debt/ Cc: Lalasticlala |
