kettykin: What exactly are banks head offices doing in Lagos? Isn't Abuja the capital of Nigeria. Like saying - what are corporate headquarters of various businesses doing in New York when Washington DC is the capital of USA 🤔 |

Politics › Disquiet In CBN Abuja After Reported Plan To Relocate Major Departments To Lagos by Sundaland(op): 4:59pm On Jan 13, 2024 |
There is growing disquiet within the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) following revelations of plans by the new management to relocate major departments from the Abuja headquarters to the former headquarters in Lagos. The decision, spearheaded by the newly appointed CBN Governor Yemi Cardoso who was a former commissioner in Lagos State, has reportedly unsettled staff members, particularly married women, leading to discontent within the institution. The targeted departments for relocation include Banking Supervision (DBS), Other Financial Institutions Supervision (OFISD), Consumer Protection Department (CPD), Payment System Management Department (PSMD), and Financial Policy Regulations Department (FPRD). A substantial workforce of 1,533 employees is expected to be affected by this massive redeployment. Sources within the CBN expressed concerns about the potential consequences of such a move, emphasizing the pivotal roles these departments play in the institution.

Politics › "I’m Ready To Lead Coalition Against Tinubu, APC” – Atiku Vows To Contest Again by Sundaland(op): 7:03pm On Jan 12, 2024 |
Former Vice President and the 2023 presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has expressed readiness to lead a united opposition force to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections. His declaration came amidst jubilation within the PDP following the Supreme Court’s affirmation of the victories of governors in Bauchi, Plateau, Cross River, and Zamfara states, all PDP strongholds. In a statement issued by his media office, Atiku described the court’s decision as “a triumph for democracy and the rule of law,” further offering congratulations to Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State, elected under the banner of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP). “This is a moment for celebration, not just for the PDP and our governors, but for all Nigerians who value fairness and justice,” Atiku said. He again restated the role of a robust opposition in safeguarding democracy, stating, “To truly strengthen our democracy, we need a united front. I am prepared, as I have always been, to lead the charge alongside our leaders and governors for the good of our nation.” While acknowledging the court’s verdict as “a testament to the good governance principles that the PDP champions,” Atiku also urged the governors – Bala Mohammed of Bauchi, Dauda Lawal of Zamfara, Caleb Muftwang of Plateau, and Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom – to leverage this victory as a springboard to “expand the scope of the positive change they have already initiated.” With the legal challenges surrounding the 2023 elections settled, Atiku said the PDP is poised to play the role of the main opposition party.

Politics › Mike Adenuga Returns As Second Richest Nigerian After His Net Worth Hit $7.4B by Sundaland(op): 6:38am On Jan 12, 2024 |
Renowned Nigerian telecom and oil tycoon, Mike Adenuga, has reclaimed the title of Nigeria’s second-richest individual, surpassing Abdul Samad Rabiu after Forbes reevaluated the worth of his mobile phone network, Globacom. Adenuga’s current net worth stands at $7.4 billion, reinforcing his prominent position in Africa’s business landscape. Founder of the third-largest telecom service provider in Nigeria, Globacom, Adenuga had temporarily lost the second-richest position to Rabiu a year and a half ago. However, following Forbes‘ recent reassessment, he now holds the title of Nigeria’s second-richest person, trailing only behind Aliko Dangote. The Chairman of Conoil and founder of Globacom has experienced fluctuations in his net worth over the years, with it reaching $7.3 billion in 2022 and attaining its pinnacle at an impressive $10 billion in 2015. Recall that Adenuga’s networth was reported to have fallen to $3.6 billion in June 2023 before bouncing back. The decline, from the initial $6.3 billion recorded in January last year according to Forbes, was influenced by multiple factors.

Education › 107 Private Universities To Be Investigated By FG's Panel by Sundaland(op): 9:00am On Jan 10, 2024 |
The Federal Government, through the Federal Ministry of Education, has initiated the formation of an inter-ministerial committee to investigate the activities of private and foreign universities operating in Nigeria. The committee includes members such as the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, the Minister of Youths, Jamila Bio-Ibrahim, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, among others.
One of the committee’s key terms of reference is to examine private universities established in the last 15 years. The focus is on assessing whether these institutions have the required facilities, appropriate management structures, adequate funding for programs, and the necessary staff (full-time, contract, adjunct, visiting, among other types). The National Universities Commission (NUC) periodically conducts accreditation exercises, but this additional scrutiny aims to ensure compliance with specific criteria.
[b]Nigeria currently has a total of 147 private universities, as indicated on the NUC website. Analysis reveals that 107 of these private universities were established within the last 15 years. As a result, this article by PUNCH online will highlight the private universities established in the last 15 years that may come under the scrutiny of the Federal Government’s investigative panel.

If we borrow and invest the money wisely to improve lives and also generate revenues, that would be great! But the problem is that we've been hearing and reading on the news that the borrowed fund that are allocated to different Government Agencies / Ministries are being diverted into personal bank accounts. That's really sad! |
Politics › 'Nigerians Are In The Dark’ – Peter Obi Reacts To FG’s “Excessive” Borrowing by Sundaland(op): 9:18pm On Jan 09, 2024 |
Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party in 2023, has accused President Bola Tinubu of abandoning Nigeria’s economic issues.
In a tweet on Tuesday, Obi knocked Tinubu’s economic management style adding that the recent National Assembly’s approval of president request for the securitisation of outstanding N7.3 trillion ‘Ways and Means’ debt balance was a violation of the CBN act.
Ways and Means is a loan facility through which the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) provides short-term financing to cover the government’s budget shortfalls.
“This is the time when we need to go beyond politics and partisan grandstanding to address the fundamental issues of rational economic management. I am afraid that the current administration is not paying sufficient attention to issues of rational economic management,” Obi said.
“In seven years, CBN lending to the Buhari government had climbed 2700% in flagrant violation of the CBN Act.
“Indifferent to the illegality of the excessive ways and means borrowing, the national assembly still approved the new Tinubu administration’s request for an N7.3 trn securitization of the existing ways and means facility just before considering the 2024 budget proposals.
“No questions asked. No explanations were sought as to the precise purpose of these borrowings all within the seven-month tenure of this government. https://dailypostngr.com/2024/01/nigerians-are-in-the-dark-peter-obi-reacts-to-tinubus-excessive-borrowings/

Politics › Despite Suspension, Ex-minister Betta Edu Refuses To Handover As Instructed by Sundaland(op): 12:17am On Jan 09, 2024 |
Suspended Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr. Betta Edu, defied President Bola Tinubu’s directive to hand over to the Permanent Secretary on Monday evening as instructed. Barely minutes after the official announcement of her suspension, which carried a clear instruction to hand over and “fully cooperate with investigating authorities,” it has been observed that no immediate handover activity has taken place at the ministry. Instead, staff confirmed that Dr. Edu left the office shortly after receiving the suspension letter delivered by a State House official. It was also learnt that all security and protocol personnel assigned to her were also recalled, following standard procedure. However, questions arose about the official handover as an unnamed Ministry official familiar with public service operations said the Permanent Secretary requires an official memo, not just a media report, to act on a suspension directive.
