I think the only thing Nigeria need now is good, cheap, steady electricity... With steady Electricity Nigeria can:


Reduce Unemployment:
more companies will invest in Nigeria and employ the youth thereby reducing insecurity; most young people will be employed and won't have the time to steal, join terror groups etc


Generate Revenue:
with more companies opening up revenue generated from taxes paid by the companies Will increase, the govt. Will have enough to build infrastructure


Reduce imports:
Productivity of the country will increase, we will import less, export more which will improve the currency and the economy in general


Improve standards of living:
companies will be able to pay workers higher because they will spend less on fueling generators, so people will have enough to spend.


Nigerians are still very productive and strong even with poor electricity. Nigeria will become one of the most powerful country on earth with steady electricity.


NOTE: this is my opinion

It's not as if we do not have people to built and run this kind of retail stores but truth be told, Nigerians lack maintenance culture. In years to come, the business will run under.

Transcorp hotels are maintained well it's Nigerian, Nigerian banks are well maintained, anything private will surely be maintained properly. The problem i have with most Nigerians (with money) is that they don't try anything at all they just sit and look around. If Adenuga didn't create Globacom MTN would have had 98% telcomm market control. Shoprite will grow like MTN, dominate the retail market (remember all profits are taken outside Nigeria) they are not listed on the NSE same with MTN. I just like the way things are going buhahaha ;->

rumomonga:
South Africans taking over our country and our business bit by bit

lol don't worry 10 years time they will start complaining that south africans own the economy like how people are about MTN. Will you tell me that no Nigerian has the capital to start a retail store the size of shoprite? Most Nigerians just feel reluctant. There are very rich Nigerians but they won't use their money to do better things later they will say pooh abt SA businesses in Nigeria

I can play almost any key but I have been trying to play psquare collabo intro but i can't can someone help me with it pls

The Federal Ministry of Mines and Steel Development said on Monday that the Light Section Mill (LSM) of the Ajaokuta and Delta Steel Companies would commence production in 2015.
Abdullahi Also, the Director of Steel and Non-Ferrous Metals Department in the ministry, said both companies had signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with different private investors on billet conversion to iron rods and other steel materials.
“The private investors will bring their billet and convert it to iron rods. We are starting that this year. The investors that signed MoU with Ajaokuta are a consortium from Nigeria and Ukraine,’’Also said.
“The LSM is a section of the rolling mill built for the production of iron rods and other steel materials. The company is divided into light, medium and heavy section mills.’’
According to Also, the Delta Steel Company was sold to an India company — Global Infrastructure — in 2005.
He said it operated for some time during which it borrowed a lot of money from Nigerian banks.
“When they took over they were producing and selling the products, but unfortunately they were not reinvesting in the plant and in fact, at a point they could even run the plant,’’ he said.
The director said Global Infrastructure was unable to repay its loan and pay workers’ salaries.
Also said the banks sold the debt to Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) and also had the challenge of replacing or repairing broken down machines.
He said this led to the takeover of the plant by AMCON under the receiver-manager and had been discussing with new investors to take over the plants.
“First of all, they have to agree on terms and secondly, they have to reactivate the plant. I am hopeful that Delta Steel will begin operation this year.’’
He said out of the four privatised government-owned rolling mills, only Katsina Rolling Mill was functional.
According to him, Delta Steel, Jos, and Osogbo Mills are yet to commence operation nine years after their privatisation.
Also said initially Katsina bought billet which it rolled into iron rods, but it had added other scrap-melting facilities to produce its own billet and roll into iron rods.
He said the ministry had been discussing with the owners of Jos and Osogbo Mills on the need to commence operations.
“We will continue to discuss with them. Federal Government’s plan is that the rolling mills should commence production after privatisation.
“Unfortunately, we are still battling with the owners to see that they begin operation. These are lessons we have to learn from when next we are privatising,” Also said.

masciv:

Man united has done this before na most of you don't follow man united on fb and twitter they sent a shout out to Nigeria last year

…growth driven by large private sector companies
National food production increased by 21 million metric tonnes in 2014, according to figures released by the federal ministry of agriculture and rural development.
Compared to previous years when food prices rose astronomically especially during festive seasons, prices of locally produced foodstuffs remain relatively stable throughout 2014 as a result of increased food production except in the security-challenged areas of the north.
The devaluation of the naira by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) towards the end of 2014 therefore did not have much effect on the prices of foodstuffs even during the Yuletide.
Investors
This increased food production is driven more by key private sector food companies such as Dangote, Olam, Stallion that made massive investments in farming/agribusinesses.
Akinwunmi Adesina, minister of agriculture and rural development. stated that private sector investments in Nigeria’s agriculture sector from 2012 to November, 2014 have hit $5.6mn. By estimation, as at end of 2014, private sector investment in the sector is hovering at about N1trn.
In addition, more citizens such as civil servants, retired military officers, other retirees, politicians, young and old professionals, fresh graduates and undergraduates are got involved in food production with increased efficiency. Aside a little more commitment from the customs in intercepting contraband foods such as poultry products, the citizenry also developed greater appreciation for food produced in Nigeria.

Employment
According to the federal government, the increased production and increased demand for Nigeria foods has resulted in the creation of 3.5 million jobs between 2011 and 2014. Retirees, fresh graduates and unemployed producers have created self-employment for themselves by starting farming or agric related businesses.
Except in cases where medium and large farms/agribusinesses employ large numbers of first and second degree holders, many of the paid jobs are taken by secondary school certificate holders, undergraduates working on part time, under-employed professionals and citizens who are not lettered.
ATA
Also, in 2014, farmers, processors and other agribusiness players enjoyed greater lease of life in their businesses through the Agricultural Transformation Agenda (ATA) which has touched many commodities from rice, cocoa, cassava, cashew, vegetables to fish and livestock especially poultry.
The Growth Enhancement Scheme (GES) which provides subsidised inputs to producers of some these commodities and the e-wallet through which fertilisers and seeds are allocated to farmers are still went on in 2014.
Deliberate efforts continued to be made to increase sales for farmers. For instance, though majority of the cassava producers are small farmers, the demand for cassava flour is mainly from the high-end market.
Due to deliberate government policies, foreign retailers such as Spar operating supermarkets in the country now use between 10percent to 20 percent locally produced cassava flour and 80 to 90percent imported wheat flour in the production of bread, cakes, doughnuts and other confectioneries which are patronised mainly by the growing middle class citizens.

Funding
As a result, commercial banks which have hitherto hesitated in giving loans to cassava farmers are somewhat more willing to provide financing to them and producers of other commodities. But issues of demand for collaterals by banks and high interest loans still linger.
The single-digit interest loan opportunities provided by Bank of Agriculture and Bank of Industry are not adequate for the large number of seekers of credit financing. The Nigerian Incentive Based-Risk Sharing for Agricultural Lending (NIRSAL) also did not adequately address this financing challenge.
Credit to the sector has however increased beyond the five percent of bank portfolio it was in 2013. Industry watchers expect it to hit 10 percent by the time official figures on bank lending to the agric sector for 2014 is released.
Other funding opportunities such as the Fund for Agricultural Financing (FAFIN), a private equity and quasi-equity and debt fund which will deploy $100 million in long term finance to agribusinesses is also being floated by the federal government in collaboration with foreign lending institution.
Services
Agribusinesses providing support services to farmers and processors have also increased. These include ICT services, agric equipment hiring services, commodity warehousing, consultancy, training and so on for players along the agricultural value chain...
