Business › Oil Exploration: NNPC Gets $1.04 Billion Facility From Afreximbank by NwaNimo1(op): 9:40pm On Nov 17, 2021
The African Export-Import Bank, Afreximbank, has signed a $1.04 billion dollar facility with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, to finance oil exploration. shocked

A statement issued by the bank on Wednesday, said that the agreement was concluded in Durban, South Africa, at the second Intra-Africa Trade fair (IATF2021), which began on Monday.

According to the statement, the transaction comprised a Pre-Export/Shipment Finance Facility underpinned by a Forward Sale Agreement, FSA, and Offtake Contracts from the NNPC, acting as the borrower and seller.

“The proceeds of the facility will boost tax revenues and foreign currency receipts and create thousands of jobs in the oil and gas refining value chain.

“All by more than $2.4 billion dollars to the immediate benefit of the government, thereby improving the balance of trade and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Nigeria.”

Prof. Benedict Oramah, Afreximbank President, in explaining the bank’s decision in the context of the world’s climate change agenda, said it was a case of adopting a balanced approach.

According to him, Africa was more of a victim than a perpetrator in the emission of destructive greenhouse gases, contributing only a meagre four per cent.

He added that meanwhile a majority of the continent, ironically having been left behind development wise, still had to depend on fossil fuel for survival and should thus not bear the brunt of the punishment for the mistakes of others.

“Stopping development for parts of Africa today to achieve a clean environment for the whole world tomorrow is utterly foolhardy”, he added.

The statement said that the deal was signed by Umor Ajia, NNPC Executive Director and Group Chief Executive Officer, on behalf of NNPC.

It added that the transaction complied with Afreximbank’s mandate to promote local content in Africa’s oil and gas and other mining industries and generate foreign receivables into Africa.

The fair, which would end on Sunday, is expected to close about $40 billion dollars’ worth of deals.

Organised by Afreximbank, in collaboration with the AU and the AfCFTA secretariat, the event is being attended by over 1,100 entities exhibiting their goods and services to over 10,000 delegates, visitors and buyers from over 95 countries from the continent and beyond.

IMF addresses impact of multiple forex rate on eNaira as remittance crashes two-straight years

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) stated that Nigeria needs to unify its multiple exchange rates if its digital currency, eNaira, is to have an impact on the remittance inflow into the country.

Nigeria’s Diaspora remittance has been on the decline in the last three years, falling from $24.31 billion in 2018 to $23.81 billion in 2019, before crashing further to $17.21 billion last year.

This sum was contributed by 1.7 million Nigerians in diaspora, as of 2020 estimation by United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, with each averaging $38,428.15 within three years.

It makes Nigeria one of the top destinations for diaspora remittance, but it’s gradually losing its spot as Nigerians reduce money sent back home amid COVID-19 pandemic waves.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is hoping the eNaira will improve the remittance inflow, but IMF’s Jack Ree, an economist in the body’s African Department, said that will only happen if the regulator reduces the gap between official and parallel market exchange rates.

As of November 15, the official rate was N415.1kobo/$1, while the parallel market settled at N545/$1, a difference of N129.9kobo between the multiple forex rates.

In an email received by Ripples Nigeria, on eNaira, Ree wrote, “The eNaira is expected to lower remittance transfer costs, making it easier for the Nigerian diaspora to remit funds to Nigeria by obtaining eNaira from international money transfer operators and transferring them to recipients in Nigeria by wallet-to-wallet transfers free of charge.

“Exchange rate reforms, including a unified market-clearing rate, that reduce the gap between official and parallel market exchange rates would enhance the incentives for using eNaira wallets to send remittances.”

eNaira to push informal markets into tax net

Ree also stated that the eNaira will reduce informality in an economy driven largely by the informal markets and SMEs who account for 80 percent of employment and half of Nigeria’s GDP.

The economist stated that with eNaira being traceable unlike bitcoin and other decentralised cryptocurrency, its wide adoption will shed light on transactions in the informal sector, and help the tax agency in the country strengthen the tax base.

“Once the eNaira becomes more widespread and embedded into the economy, it may bring greater transparency to informal payments and strengthen the tax base.

“Informal and formal businesses may also benefit if eNaira adoption enhances consumption through greater financial inclusion.” The IMF member said.

Sports › Benjamin Mendy: Manchester City Footballer Charged With Two Further Rapes by NwaNimo1(op): 5:16pm On Nov 16, 2021
Manchester City defender Benjamin Mendy has been charged with two further counts of rape.

Mr Mendy, of Prestbury, has been summonsed to appear at Stockport Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.

The 27-year-old footballer, who remains in custody, is now facing six counts of rape and one count of sexual assault.

The charges relate to four complainants over the age of 16 and are alleged to have taken place between October 2020 and August 2021.

The France international has played for last season's Premier League champions Manchester City since 2017, when he joined from Monaco for a reported £52m.

He was suspended by the club after being charged by police, pending an investigation.

Louis Saha Matturie was also previously charged with four counts of rape in relation to the alleged attacks between March 2021 and August 2021.

The 40-year-old from Eccles has also been charged with two additional counts of rape and one of sexual assault and summonsed to appear at the court.

Both men are due to go on trial on 24 January 2022.
