Nigeria’s total trade with the rest of the world was N18.8 trillion in Q3 2023, up 54.62% from N12.2 trillion in Q2 2023, according to the report. Given the devaluation that was noted during the time, care should be taken when interpreting the increase in overall trade. With N10.3 trillion in total exports and N8.5 trillion in imports, there was a N1.8 trillion trade surplus. With N10.3 trillion in total exports and N8.5 trillion in imports, there was a N1.8
Read MoreThe National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) recently released a Value Added Tax (VAT) report, which states that in the third quarter of 2023 (Q3 2023), revenue from VAT increased to N980.07 billion. This represents an increase of 51.60% year over year from N625.39 billion recorded in Q3 2022 and a 21.34% quarter over quarter increase from N781.35 billion recorded in Q2 2023. Broken down by source, the amounts for local payments, import VAT, foreign VAT payments, and foreign VAT were N204.58 billion, N221.41 billion, and N522.08 billion, in that order. When broken down by industry, manufacturing contributed the most (26.51%), suggesting that taxing manufactured goods in the nation is comparatively simple. Subsequently, Financial and Insurance activities contribute 12.31%, and Information and Communication contributes 19.04%. Since the growth in VAT revenue is nearly twice as fast as the rate of inflation, there may be a real increase in VAT. Furthermore, a rise in economic activity and an improvement in VAT collection are implied by the 51.6% year-over-year growth in VAT. It is imperative that the government maintains this notable rise in VAT revenue in order to raise enough money to cover expanding expenses without having to take on substantial public borrowing. The limited VAT base, which lowers the quantity of taxable transactions and the amount of VAT collected, continues to be a problem for the nation. Certain taxpayers are also able to leak information and evade paying VAT due to the ineffective and dishonest collection and remittance system. Digital and automated platforms, along with more robust accountability and
Read MorePresident Bola Ahmed Tinubu has presented the 2024 budget to the National Assembly’s joint session. With a N27.5 trillion budget and a projected revenue of N18.32 trillion, it is the largest budget in Nigerian history, with a N9.18 trillion budget deficit. N7.69 trillion in revenue comes from oil, N3.52 trillion from non-oil sources, and N6.86 trillion from independent and other sources of income. The total amount spent is N8.72 trillion for capital projects, N9.92 trillion for non-debt recurring expenses, N8.49 trillion for debt service, and N1.38 trillion for statutory transfers. According to these estimates, debt service accounts for 95% of capital expenditures and 30% of total expenses. Additionally, debt service makes up 45% of the anticipated income. Nigeria’s debt service burden is unmanageable and seriously impeding the country’s ability to grow and develop economically. It raises the possibility of financial distress and erodes the nation’s credibility and confidence in the eyes of investors. Nigeria’s government should raise the nation’s tax base and enforce tax compliance in order to boost revenue generation and address the country’s persistent debt issue. Additionally, it’s imperative to increase government spending efficiency and cut

IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, has issued a strong call to all medical professionals in Nigeria to provide prompt and compassionate treatment to all victims of gunshots and accidents, regardless of the presence or absence of a police report, in response to the ongoing concern over the tragic loss of lives caused by the neglect of these victims. The Compulsory Treatment and Care for Victims of Gunshot Act of 2017 requires all healthcare providers to prioritise the immediate care and stabilisation of such patients, recognising the critical importance of prompt medical attention in saving lives. The IGP’s directive is in line with this legislation. The IGP’s decision was made in reaction to the community’s and concerned citizens’ persistent outcry about the tragic results of delaying treatment for these victims. In order to close the gap between law enforcement and healthcare providers, promote a more effective and compassionate response to emergency situations, and reduce crime by honouring their duty to invite the police for assessment while treatment is ongoing, the IGP emphasises the moral duty and responsibility of medical professionals to uphold the sanctity of life and provide life-saving care to those in need. The Inspector-General stresses the critical importance of saving lives and advancing a safer and healthier society,

Key conclusions drawn from the survey’s data on a worldwide scale: Inflation poses the greatest threat to the respondents’ businesses, and 72% of those polled felt that controlling prices or keeping costs low is the main obstacle to their ability to succeed as a firm today. Notably, 52% of respondents said they thought supply chain problems had gotten better over the previous year; 36% said they thought they had stayed the same; and only 13% said they thought they had gotten worse.According to 55% of respondents, the healthcare industry is setting the pace for becoming carbon neutral by 2050. However, just 37% of those polled claimed that their organisation places a high priority on net zero and/or ESG in general. 52% of respondents said their company is thinking about going global in the upcoming year, with 27% saying they want to enter the Asia-Pacific region. 27% of respondents claim to be either just slightly or very dissatisfied with the progress they have achieved towards their financial objectives as of 2023. “It comes as no surprise that inflation and market volatility are top of mind for companies across industries worldwide,” said Tasnim Ghiawadwala, global head of Citi Commercial Bank. Everything has been impacted by inflation, including supply chain and inventory management as well as operational, financial, and human resource planning. It is crucial for mid-sized corporates to be nimble and flexible with the market because it will have an impact on long-term strategic planning and vision. Cost control is important, but success ultimately depends on understanding your core offering, or how your business stands out to customers
Read MoreThe Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)/Service Level Agreement (SLA) with the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd (NNPC Ltd) and five foreign oil-producing companies with the aim of swiftly increasing Nigeria’s flagging crude oil production, ensuring adherence to the Nigerian Content Act’s requirements, and expediting document approvals. The NCDMB came up with the idea for the SLA, which is meant to speed up the development of new oil and gas projects, enhance the contracting cycle in the oil and gas industry, and increase oil output. In addition to Mr. Oritsemeyiwa A. Eyesan, the new Executive Vice President Upstream of the NNPC Ltd., Mr. Simbi Kesiye Wabote, also signed the agreement on behalf of the national oil firm. Mr. Osagie Okunbor, Managing Director of Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) and Country Chair of Shell Companies in Nigeria (SCiN), and Mr. Shane Harris, Chairman and Managing Director of ExxonMobil’s affiliates in Nigeria, were among the other prominent business leaders who signed the pact. Others present included Mr. Iwueze Cosmas, Director of Joint Ventures for Chevron Nigeria; Mr. Fabrizio Bloomfied, Managing Director of Nigerian Agip Oil Company Ltd.; and Mr. Obi Imemba, Executive Director of Joint Ventures for Total Exploration and Production Nigeria. The Executive Secretary reaffirmed his view that the objective is attainable with all important parties now on board with the implementation of the SLA by stating that the overarching goal is to complete the tendering to contract award procedures in the oil and gas industry within six months. Being the senior partner in the joint ventures and concessionaire of the production sharing contracts (PSC) agreements that control how the industry operates, he expressed his happiness that NNPC Limited signed the MoU. Wabote noted that the NCDMB originally announced the 15-day Rule to the industry in 2017 when it pledged to react to any formal requests for approvals in connection with the execution of oil industry projects within 15 working days. He mentioned how Nigeria LNG Ltd. pioneered the procedure and set approval records for the LNG Train 7 project before the norm was later formalised with a SLA in May 2017. He continued, “The industry found the outcome impressive leading to Independent Petroleum Producers Group (IPPG) signing the SLA in 2018 and Oil Producers Trade Section (OPTS) thereafter.” Wabote confirmed NCDMB’s status as a business-enabling regulatory body, teasing that “this is attested to by our being recognised and awarded as the most efficient among the MDAs in 2022 by the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC)”. The NCDMB CEO gave the industry his word that the SLA wouldn’t be an exception and promised that the Board will fulfil its own commitment to the agreement. The first SLA of its sort to be entered into between a regulator and another organisation in the oil and gas industry was the one that was signed with the Nigeria LNG in 2017. The template was approved for use in managing contracts, paperwork, and applications for expatriate quotas between the Board and foreign and domestic operating enterprises. The agreement required NCDMB to receive

Flapmax is a leading provider of data and AI technology. FAST Accelerator’s cohort of 12 startups will move on to a 5-week comprehensive acceleration experience in Silicon Valley, California, starting in October, following the conclusion of its 2-week Online Bootcamp, which saw participation from 60+ tech companies in an intensive online training with experienced mentors. “Microsoft thinks that African startups and small and medium-sized firms (SMEs) are well-positioned to form the backbone of the continent’s digital economy, providing pertinent answers to regional societal and economic problems.

Read MoreThe International Finance Corporation (IFC), Proparco, and the French Public Investment Bank participated in a US$5M pre-Series A extension round that was headed by Anka, the “All-in-one SaaS for global African businesses,” and it has now been closed. The current round of funding takes the company’s total investment to date since its founding in 2016 to US$13.5M. ANKA will use this funding to support its efforts in product development and service expansion in order to promote and enhance the growth of African entrepreneurship on a global scale. The company plans to expand its reach in key markets where it has already had unmatched growth, including the US for its customers and subscribers as well as Nigeria and Kenya for the number of vendors. In addition, ANKA intends to actively hire sales, technical, and product talent with the funding to fuel its expansion. Since its most recent capital infusion in 2022, ANKA’s margins and its network of African SMEs in 47 of the continent’s 54 countries have nearly doubled. In more than 175 nations throughout the world, the firm handled transactions totaling more than $50M USD. Since 2022, when ANKA raised its first round of funds, its annual revenue has climbed more than 18 times, from €200k to €3.6M. By 2030, the platform hopes to have 100,000 African sellers registered, promoting the international trade of “all things made of Africa” to a wide audience. These accomplishments highlight ANKA’s significant contribution to the African e-commerce ecosystem. In addition, it aspires to be the equivalent of “Paypal” for all African entrepreneurs. ANKA offers African business owners a platform with a subscription-based business model to: Sell products on Instagram, WhatsApp, or a bespoke storefront. Receive payment for goods and services using international payment methods, and instantly withdraw cash using domestic payment methods (such as mobile money or bank transfers) or the specific VISA cards issued by ANKA. Having access to a collection of the best shipping options, such as DHL service for less than $20 up to 2kg in under 72 hours, is essential when delivering goods. The co-founder and CEO of ANKA, Moulaye Taboure, expressed his excitement about the fundraising effort: “We are beyond happy to see our vision for our sellers and clients coming to life at an unprecedented scale. The advancement of the creativity and innovation that we know are being led by the continent and that are shouting louder than ever on the world stage is dependent upon this fresh round of funding from our partners. Africans are thrilled that they, along with our other investors, can help us continue to fulfil our aim of “Unleashing the growth of African entrepreneurship” because the IFC in particular has long believed that Africans are the leaders in these areas. Abdoul Kadry Diallo, ANKA’s COO and Co-Founder, continued, “We have always believed in the continent’s undiscovered cultural treasure. Amazing people, goods, and services may be found on our continent and can have a big impact on the world economy. We will be able to continue increasing our operational effectiveness thanks to this second amount of funding, which will help us reach the next level of lucrative growth for both our company and our sellers.

It serves as the regional forum for multi-stakeholder dialogue on internet governance concerns in Africa. In order to discuss and exchange ideas on important internet governance issues affecting Africa, the AfIGF will bring together representatives from governments, civil society, the commercial sector, academia, the technical community, and the media from all over the continent and beyond. Topics including data protection and privacy, digital rights and inclusion, cybersecurity and trust, digital economy and innovation, digital transformation and governance, and regional and international cooperation will all be on the agenda of the AfIGF. It immediately follows this year’s biennial African School on Internet Governance (AfriSIG), which took place in Abuja, Nigeria, from September 13 to September 18, 2023. The African Union Commission (AUC), Research ICT Africa, the Association for Progressive Communications (APC), the United Nations Internet Governance Forum Parliamentary Track, and other stakeholders worked together to create AfriSIG.

Read MoreAccording to information provided by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) based on calculations made by the Nigeria Bureau of Statistics (NBS), the telecom sector’s share of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) climbed dramatically to 16% in the second quarter of 2023. This was expressed in a keynote speech by Prof. Umar Danbatta, Executive Vice Chairman of the NCC, on Thursday in Lagos at the Association of Telecom Companies of Nigeria (ATCON)-hosted annual Telecom Executives and Regulators Forum (TERF). According to Danbatta, the telecommunications sector contributed 16% to the national GDP in the second quarter of 2023, breaking the previous record of 14% set in the first quarter of 2023 and surpassing the previously held record of 15% set in the second quarter of 2022. Danbatta walked the audience of eager telecom executives and other industry stakeholders through the enormous strides being made by the Commission as he spoke on the topic of “Success Factors and Barriers to National Broadband and Digital Economy Aspirations.” Danbatta, the EVC of NCC, stated that quarterly GDP has greatly increased to achieve its present level of 16% and that this has continued to favourably impact all parts of the economy from an approximate 8% contribution to GDP in 2015 when he joined the organisation. The industry has expanded rapidly over the past 20 years because to the Commission’s consistent regulatory perfection and operational efficiency, which has had a positive impact on all other economic sectors. Our primary competitive advantage as an industry has been the excellent regulatory framework established by the NCC with the backing of all stakeholders, according to Danbatta. The EVC noted that while there are obstacles to broadband deployment in the nation, including the right-of-way (RoW) issue, fibre cuts, high capital requirements for deployment, multiple taxes, and challenges, the NCC is navigating regulatory complexities, digital divide and literacy, security concerns, and other issues with firmness and increased collaborations with necessary stakeholders, such as ATCON, to develop measures to address the obstacles Regarding the RoW dilemma, the EVC stated that now, there are around 46 various taxes aimed at the telecom industry. Some agencies and levels of government, particularly at the state and local levels, impose these fees and levels on telecom providers under a variety of titles. Danbatta claimed that the difficulty results in additional financial pressures for the nation’s telecom users. In reference to connectivity, Danbatta stated: “Over the years, we have identified some clusters of access gaps all over the country but we have recorded a significant drop in the number of access gaps, as we continue to drive initiatives that boost access to telecommunications services. According to him, the Commission accomplishes this by encouraging investment and funding, encouraging the development of infrastructure, encouraging digital inclusion and literacy, promoting competition and market liberalisation, encouraging the effective allocation of spectrum, as well as fostering the e-government ecosystem. “The NCC is confident that we are going to reach 50% broadband penetration threshold by the end of 2023 and by 2025, we would have met and possibly exceeded the 70% broadband penetration target, as contained in the Nigerian National Broadband Plan (NNBP), 2020-2025,” Danbatta said in reference to various ongoing regulatory efforts The ATCON and its members received special praise from the EVC for being active participants in progress and for consistently collaborating with the Commission in positive ways to address the many issues facing the sector. A robust digital economy and a nationwide broadband network are not without difficulties, according to the EVC. “However, these difficulties can be overcome with perseverance, inventiveness, and strategic planning. We can build a future in which every Nigerian has access to the opportunities that the digital world offers by concentrating on the success elements and removing the obstacles,” he continued. The achievement
Read MoreThe National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) reports that in the second quarter of 2023 (Q2 2023), Value Added Tax (VAT) and Company Income Tax (CIT) revenues grew in Nigeria. The total amount of company income tax for Q2 2023 was estimated to be N1.53 trillion, up from N469.01 billion in Q1 2023. This growth rate indicates a quarterly growth rate of 226.40%. In Q2 2023, local payments totaled N1.02 trillion, while foreign CIT payments contributed N505.91 billion, according to the CIT report. Additionally, Value Added Tax for Q2 2023 was reported at N781.35 billion, representing an increase of 10.11% from N709.59 billion in Q1 2023 on a quarterly basis. In Q2 2023, local VAT payments totaled N512.03 billion, compared to N142.63 billion in foreign VAT payments and N126.69 billion in import VAT. To lessen the need for public debt, the government must continue to receive this considerable rise in tax revenue. By utilising technology and data analytics to detect tax evaders and improve the tax collection process, the government should first concentrate on improving tax compliance and collection procedures. Additionally, it is critical to keep the tax code simple and remove administrative roadblocks in order to motivate more organisations and people to voluntarily comply with tax laws. A culture of tax compliance can be promoted among the populace by funding tax education and awareness programmes. In order to show citizens the practical advantages of taxes
Read MoreNigeria’s GDP (Gross Domestic Product) increased 2.51% (year over year) in real terms in the second quarter (Q2) of 2023, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). The services sector, which achieved a growth rate of 4.42 percent in the time period and contributed 58.42 percent to the total GDP, is the main driver of this growth rate, which is lower than the 3.54% registered in the Q2 2022. In a similar vein, the agricultural sector expanded by 1.50%, up from 1.20% in Q2 2022. However, the industry sector saw a relative decrease in growth of 1.94%, matching the -2.30% decline seen in Q2 2022. Agriculture and industry sectors contributed less to the total GDP in Q2 2023 compared to Q2 2022 in terms of their percentage of the GDP. To encourage Nigeria’s economy to thrive sustainably, the government must act decisively. The government should place a high priority on economic diversification, investing in industries other than oil, like boosting agricultural output through the use of modern technologies and giving farmers access to fertiliser and improved seedlings. Infrastructure development is essential for lowering corporate costs and luring investments into the nation, especially in the transportation and energy sectors. Given that human capital is a key economic activity driver, investing in education and skill development will empower the labour force and boost growth in the services sector. Additionally, creating an environment that is favourable to investors through

Rate increases have brought the primary deposit facility of the central bank from -0.5% in June 2022 to a record 4%. The freshly released staff macroeconomic estimates for the euro area, which predict inflation will average 5.6% this year, up from the previous forecast of 5.4%, and 3.2% next year, down from the previous projection of 3%, appeared to be a major factor in the increase on Thursday. The carefully monitored medium-term projection was shifted from 2.2% to 2.1%, though. It also mentioned that future hikes might not be on the table for the time being in a market-moving remark. “Based on its current assessment, the Governing Council considers that the key ECB interest rates

The theme of the 17th C-PET course was “UN SDGs Compliance for Nonprofits.” The purpose was to introduce fundamental concepts connected to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN to nonprofit groups and civil society organisations. This required creating sustainable project design and management strategies, aligning their individual missions with these objectives, and emphasising the promotion of collaboration. The ultimate goal was to increase financing accessibility and overall operational effectiveness. We were proud to have passionate participants from various Civil Society Organisations from around Nigeria, despite the difficulties caused by widening inequality and global exclusion. With over 135 excellent students seeking for participation, the road to this training was quite competitive. A total of 127 people were shortlisted as a consequence of our rigorous screening procedure, and 69 of them were chosen to participate in this historic event. The key to any effective training is its facilitation, and the 17th C-PET Workshop was made better by Mr. Bankole Oloruntoba’s knowledge and reliable resources. Mr. Oloruntoba brought his vast expertise in Climate Technology Partnership, entrepreneurial growth, and business innovation to the forefront while serving as the Chief Executive Officer of the Nigeria Climate Innovation Centre (NCIC). His in-depth knowledge of nonprofit management and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN) guaranteed that participants got the knowledge they needed to influence good change within their individual organisations. In order to identify their organisations, strengthen their value
Read MoreChina’s Baidu has released its ChatGPT rival ERNIE Bot to the general public. This is a significant step for the nation’s tech industry as it seeks to capitalise on the artificial intelligence gold rush. ChatGPT rival ERNIE bot This month, the Chinese government unveiled new rules for AI developers in an effort to keep pace with companies like Microsoft and ChatGPT manufacturer OpenAI while closely regulating internet material. The first domestic AI app that is completely accessible to the general public in China is ERNIE Bot. It is not accessible outside of the nation. In a statement released on Thursday, Baidu said: “We are thrilled to share that ERNIE Bot is now fully open to the general public starting August 31.” Along with ERNIE Bot, Baidu will soon release a number of new AI-native applications that will provide consumers access to the four fundamental capabilities of generative AI: comprehension, generation, reasoning, and memory. Although the chatbot was released in March, there were few of them available. According to CEO Robin Li, by making it widely available, Baidu would be able to gather “massive” human feedback and quickly develop the app. Chatbots like ERNIE Bot and other generative AI applications are trained on a great amount of data as well as on user interactions so they can respond to queries, even difficult ones, in a human-like manner. The guidelines released this month stipulate that Chinese generative AI apps must “adhere to the core values of socialism” and refrain from endangering national security. When put to the test by the AFP news agency on Thursday, ERNIE Bot quickly responded to uninteresting inquiries like “What is the capital of China?” and “Do you have any hobbies?” Looking down at the pro-democracy demonstrators in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square in 1989, it spoke the phrase “Let’s change the topic and start again.” China forbids public discussion of the Tiananmen incident, and online information about it is heavily restricted. ERNIE Bot gave a more detailed response when asked about Taiwan, a self-governing island that China claims as its own. It answered, “Taiwan is a part of the People’s Republic of China’s sacred territory.

Read MoreToday, Uber announced the introduction of Electric Boda in Kenya, a first for the company in the continent and a significant step towards more environmentally friendly transportation. With the introduction of electric motorcycles, the country’s transition to a greener economy now has a dependable, comfortable, and economical means of transportation within cities. Since everyone should be able to go green, using Electric Boda will initially cost 15% to 20% less than using Uber Boda. Electric Boda by Uber With the introduction of the Electric Boda by Uber, drivers, for whom fuel is one of the biggest expenses, will experience a 30–35% reduction in operating costs. The World Bank estimates that Kenya’s boda boda industry employs over 1.5 million young people and generates Kshs. 202 billion in economic output yearly. Now is the time to make wise decisions that will strengthen sustainable practises, and as a company, we are dedicated to taking part in the worldwide initiatives to lessen our carbon footprint. We are pleased to offer Kenyans an option for emissions-free transportation with the introduction of Electric Boda on our platform. According to Frans Hiemstra, Director and Regional General Manager, Uber, Middle East and Africa, “This launch also supports our global efforts to become a zero-emissions platform by 2040.” The debut coincides with the introduction of the National Electric Mobility Plan by the Kenyan government, which aims to develop a more environmentally friendly transport network and introduce a number of initiatives for long-term sustainable road traffic management. “We are doing our part to promote societal sustainability goals and the move to environmentally friendly transportation products. With rates 15–20% less than those of our current product, the introduction of Electric Boda would give Kenyans one of the most economical methods to get from place to place, according to Imran Manji, Head of East Africa for Uber. With ambitions to grow, Uber Electric Boda will first be offered in Nairobi, allowing travellers all around the nation to receive emissions-free rides. Uber continues to prioritise safety, and new

Read MoreMastercard held its first Mastercard Fintech Day in Accra, Ghana, marking a first for West Africa. The event, which brought together some of the continent’s most important players and thought leaders in the fintech industry, was a great success. Financial technology offers a chance to include underserved groups in the digital economy as the African fintech scene continues to grow at an unheard-of rate. The Mastercard Fintech Day The Mastercard Fintech Day event paved the way for ongoing partnerships and collaborations that will improve financial inclusion and open up new avenues for innovation in Ghana. Currently, fintechs fill the void created by conventional banks in Ghana by serving the requirements of the underbanked, unbanked, and wealthy populations. According to McKinsey’s report, fintech companies are giving their clients a lot of value. Their transactional solutions can be up to 80% less expensive than those offered by traditional players, and their interest rates on savings can be up to three times greater. Mastercard established a stronger relationship and chances for collaboration with the Ghanaian fintech community through the Fintech Day event, showcasing its broad skills and steadfast dedication to assisting the fintech environment in Ghana. Bossman Kwapong, the Country Director for Ghana at Mastercard, expressed his excitement about hosting the first-ever Mastercard Fintech Day in Ghana. “This occasion marks a crucial turning point in our quest to empower communities, advance financial inclusion, and encourage innovation. We can create new opportunities, promote economic growth, and alter how financial services are obtained and provided by collaborating with the fintech sector. By collaborating on solutions and providing access to their partners, knowledge, technologies, markets, and customers, Mastercard is assisting in accelerating this development and enabling fintechs to develop, launch, and expand. Mastercard offers the services and tools fintech innovators need at each stage of their journey to develop daring ideas and achieve scale at pace, bringing more people into the digital economy, through their best-in-class APIs and data assets as well as their trusted ecosystem of partners. The occasion offered guests an enlightening setting to see how the Mastercard digital ecosystem enabled fintech businesses to innovate and deliver cutting-edge goods and services. The event gave attendees from over 70 people and 50 fintechs a forum for discussion and idea exchange. This involvement was especially important in addressing the specific budgetary requirements of different population segments. Participants at the event discussed the adoption of contactless payment methods in the future, such as QR Pay-by-link and Tap on Phone, to provide a seamless payment experience. Attendees also learned more about the wide range of cutting-edge fintech products and solutions that are now on the market, enabling greater and easier access to financial experiences for everyone. Martin Kwame Awagah, president of The Ghana Fintech and Payment Association, expressed his genuine excitement for the Mastercard Fintech Day in Accra.

Read MoreAccording to Save the Children, armed groups in Nigeria have been attacking farmers nonstop, disrupting vital food supply and raising the possibility that the nation may experience a severe food crisis this year. Increased attacks on farmers are displacing people, disrupting markets, and causing people to lose their livelihoods in many sections of the nation. According to the Nigerian Security Tracker, between January and June 2023, armed groups killed more than 128 farmers in Nigeria and abducted 37 more. Only in Borno State in northern Nigeria did non-state armed groups kill 19 farmers in June. Bulama has been a farmer in northeast Nigeria for 35 years, so he is accustomed to instability, but this year has been particularly challenging. Most of the farmers Bulama has worked with have been abducted or killed by armed persons. The majority of the time, the ransom demanded by armed groups when they kidnap farmers who are also our friends and brothers is an amount that no villager can afford, according to Bulama. “They killed and took our farm’s produce, leaving us defenceless and unable to transport anything home. Most of us in this community suffer from hunger and starvation as a result of the rebels’ refusal to allow us access to the farmlands. Even when we risk our lives in our fields, they grab everything and allow us to starve Although farming puts his life at danger, Bulama explained that if he stops, his children will perish—a heartbreaking dilemma that is all too prevalent for farmers in the north. The persistent insecurity, protracted wars, and anticipated increases in food costs are mostly to blame for the UN’s January forecast that more than 25 million people in Nigeria could experience food insecurity this year, a 47% increase from the 17 million people who were already at risk of going hungry. Additionally, it is anticipated that in 2023, acute malnutrition will affect an estimated two million children under the age of five in the northeastern Nigerian states of Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe, with roughly 700,000 of those children on the verge of death. Extreme weather events, which are occurring more frequently and with more severity as a result of the climate catastrophe, are also expected to cause far more people to go hungry than was previously anticipated. Bulama continued, “The lack of rain this year has made the hunger problem my family is currently experiencing worse. All of the crops we still have are dried and dead. Because most farmers are cutting down their dried crops in order to plant new ones, it has forced us to start over from scratch. We are starving and have nowhere to go.
Read MorePublic health is seriously threatened by gender-based violence and sexual exploitation and abuse (GBV/SEA). In order to support the government of Adamawa state in providing quality care for survivors of gender-based violence, particularly those receiving humanitarian aid, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has done so. In order to provide sensitization on GBV and the role of the health provider for survivors in accordance with the WHO guideline, WHO assisted the state government in training 65 health workers and volunteers (dubbed GBV Champions) with funding from USAID’s Bureau of Humanitarian Assistance (BHA) and the Government of Germany. The 65 GBV Champions had the knowledge and abilities to recognise warning signs of violence, provide appropriate first-line assistance, including psychosocial assistance, and make pertinent referrals to medical institutions and social services. Confidently asking for assistance Jessica Matthew, 37, a GBV survivor who had been sexually assaulted by her brother-in-law for more than five years, was able to receive medical care because to their efforts. She endured the psychological and physical abuse unaided until she met a GBV champion in the Girei Local Government Area (LGA). “I was unable to tell anyone that I was living in fear. They won’t believe me, I thought,” she remarked. As a result of the abuse, Jessica had health issues like depression, anxiety, and self-inflicted wounds. She had been hesitant to speak up for fear of being stigmatised or having people not believe her. In addition to the health intervention and counselling provided by the health worker, she stated with a smile, “I was able to tell my husband about the abuse, and he believed me since he too had the chance to receive education from the health officers. Women’s physical, sexual, reproductive, and mental health, as well as their emotional and social well-being, are seriously harmed by GBV in the short- and long-term. Adamawa state does not have information on the prevalence of GBV in a humanitarian setting, but the Nigeria Demographic Health Survey calculates that 44.4% of the state’s female residents between the ages of 15 and 49 have experienced physical, emotional, or sexual violence at some point in their lives. Gender-based violence (GBV)—which includes sexual and/or intimate partner abuse and other types of violence based on gender inequality—occurs at higher rates in humanitarian situations. GBV interventions are intended for 1,317,980 million people as part of the humanitarian response strategy for 2023. Out of the total targets, 34% are located in Yola, Adamawa state, of which 32% are internally displaced persons (IDPs), 25% are returnees, and 43% are members of the host community. Providing assistance GBV is a big problem in the humanitarian northeast states, according to Dr. Beatrice Mauraguri, WHO Emergency Manager in northeast Nigeria. The WHO is assisting the health sector in responding to GBV, including physical, sexual, and emotional violence, all of which can have substantial negative effects on physical, psychological, and reproductive health. Health systems can assist women who have experienced violence. Over 141,200 women were exposed to GBV key messages in Adamawa state between January and May 2023.

Read MoreRemedial Health, a Nigerian health tech firm, has created a solution that aims to improve the effectiveness of the pharmaceutical value chain in Africa. As of right now, the firm has raised $12 million in equity. In Africa neighbourhood pharmacies and proprietary patent medicine vendors (PPMVs), which are microbusinesses, account for 85% of retail drug purchases. 90% of store owners’ wholesale purchases are made in public markets, most of which are unsuited for the selling of food and medicine. In order to get the goods they need to stock their shelves, store owners must suffer pricey and time-consuming weekly order cycles that normally last two working days. These facts, along with a method of managing operations that relies primarily on paper, create a number of difficulties that limit profitability. Remedial Health, a Nigerian health tech firm, has created a solution to this problem that aims to improve the effectiveness of the pharmaceutical value chain in Africa. To further its service penetration in Nigeria and enable the supply of tailored financial services to help business growth across the nation’s pharmaceutical sector, the firm has now raised $12 million in an equity and debt fundraising round. The $8 million Series A equity investment was co-led by US fintech VC companies QED Investors and Ventures Platform. Since the pre-seed stage, the two have now contributed to Remedial Health’s fundraising at each subsequent round. Additionally, this investment is the first Series A investment made by Ventures Platform. Following their involvement in earlier rounds, Ycombinator, Tencent, and Gaingels all made investments. A group of national and international financial institutions took the lead in arranging the $4 million in loan financing. “Given the wider backdrop of the global finance crisis and the diverse spectrum of economic challenges in Nigeria, we are thrilled to have secured these monies. We are excited to use these funds to further our aim of building a tech-enabled, pharmacy-centered healthcare network because our sustained development has put us in a good position to do so. Remedial Health’s CEO and co-founder, Samuel Okwuada, remarked. Remedial Health provides the digital procurement infrastructure needed to support efficient healthcare distribution for Africa’s 1.2 million pharmacies at the nexus of healthcare, supply chain management, technology, and financial services. Beginning in Nigeria, Remedial Health has developed an efficient operating system for pharmaceutical buyers and suppliers, working with more than 300 manufacturers and providing services to more than 5,000 hospitals, pharmacies, and PPMVs throughout 34 of Nigeria’s 36 states. Regional hubs have been established to facilitate a seamless experience throughout the entire nation.
Read MoreInfraCredit and FSDAi invests £10k in a Risk Sharing Backstop Facility that would enable local currency funding for the construction of sustainable infrastructure in Nigeria. By encouraging local institutional investment through bonds into potential early-stage or greenfield climate-aligned infrastructure projects, the Risk Sharing Backstop Facility (RSBF) will solve the issue of low credit enhancement. The facility will assist Nigeria in accelerating its social and economic growth, making the transition to a green economy, and meeting its climate targets by making financing for “climate-aligned” infrastructure projects more readily available. FSDAi is thrilled to be making this £10 million investment in cooperation with InfraCredit, a recognized leader in the sustainable infrastructure sector, with support from the UK International Development through the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). The breadth and diversity of projects this facility will support are shown by InfraCredit is current investments and project pipeline, which include projects like distributed renewable energy services for urban residences, commercial and industrial renewable projects, edge-certified green housing, and e-mobility infrastructure. Risk Sharing Backstop Facility – RSBF The RSBF plans to gather money in stages, first from FSDAi and then from additional funders, with the goal of achieving a total capital base of up to US$50 million.As a result, this investment supports one of FSD Africa’s main goals, which is to expand capital markets by removing systemic barriers. “This investment further demonstrates the UK’s commitment and contribution to Nigeria’s transition to clean energy and builds on decades of UK leadership in mobilizing support for climate-related infrastructure challenges,” said James Cleverly, MP, the foreign secretary of the UK.

Read MoreYou have a choice in how you present your business message when presenting yourself to an individual or a group. Your verbal presentation is the main means of introduction. Is your introduction effective? Is it successful? People judge both the message and the messenger in addition to the message alone. Your physical appearance, mannerisms, listening skills, and exit strategy will all have an impact on how others interpret the message you’ve conveyed. The most crucial thing to keep in mind is to address each person as though they were a close friend. Your underlying hope as you network with friends and colleagues and share what you do is that they will use your services and spread the word to others, who will then utilise your services and continuing spreading the word. The same guidelines apply when someone talks on your behalf when discussing your company. They will also be assessed. That implies that your actions and words provide a template for imitation. Game of Telephone Have you ever played the classic game “telephone” as a kid? A player speaks in a hushed tone to the person seated next to them. The next person in queue is then told in a whisper the exact same thing, and so on. Before the communication reaches the final link in the chain, it is almost always distorted. The final whispered message frequently turns out to be rather humorous and bears little similarity to the original. More dramatically, the original meaning of words is frequently completely lost as they get warped or lost. The starting message’s chance of making it through the trip decreases with length and complexity.

According to the SEC, the post was a reiteration of a caution issued on June 9 against a business known as Binance Nigeria Ltd. At the time, Binance informed CoinDesk that the firm was not connected to it. The SEC particularly mentioned the website of the cryptocurrency exchange in its notification on Friday. “The commission again reiterates that the activities of Binance, https://www.binance.com and any such other platform through which the company solicits investors are neither registered nor regulated by the commission and its operations in Nigeria are therefore illegal,” the SEC stated. The regulatory body directed all cryptocurrency-related platform providers to stop contacting Nigerian investors. The SEC declared last year that it sees all cryptocurrencies as securities. On a trial basis, the nation has been processing applications to register crypto exchanges; but, registration won’t be finalised unless an agreement is made with the central bank, which has forbidden local financial institutions from working with crypto service providers. Generalised warnings from the Commission to the public included “to be wary of investing in crypto assets and other products offered or operated by entities not registered or regulated by the Commission.” The statement said: “By this circular, all platform providers making such solicitations are hereby directed to immediately cease soliciting Nigerian investors in any manner whatsoever.” SOURCE: Coindesk
