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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

For FY ’21, total foreign trade increased by 57.6%, to N39.7trn from N25.2trn in 2020. Compared with 2020, the total export value rose by 51% to N18.9trn, from N12.5trn and the import value rose by 64.1% to N20.8trn from N12.7trn. The net result was a deficit of N1.9trn, which followed a deficit of N178bn the previous year. Total trade in 2021 was higher primarily due to subsiding pandemic restrictions that had affected export activity in 2020 and increases in commodity prices (i.e. crude oil). The total trade as a percentage of nominal GDP stood at 22.6% in 2021, compared with 16.4% in 2020. For Nigeria, the NBS notes that most imports in Q4 and FY ’21 originated from Asia (China in particular). In 2021, the value of imported agricultural goods, manufactured products as well as oil-related products rose by 57%, 2.5% and 43.3% respectively when compared to FY ‘20.

Read MoreThe National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) has released its latest report on capital importation for Q4 ’21. The data was obtained from the CBN and compiled using information on banking transactions from all registered financial institutions in Nigeria. The total value of capital imported in Q4 ‘21 was estimated at USD2.2bn, representing a rise of 26.4% q/q and 109.3% y/y. However, for FY ‘21, the total value of capital imported was estimated at USD6.7bn, representing a decline of 30.6%y/y from USD9.7bn recorded in 2020. The capital importation data is gross, and not adjusted for capital exports. The category referred to as portfolio investment accounted for 29.4% and 50.5% of capital importation in Q4’21 and FY’21 respectively. Portfolio investments recorded a decline of 47.2% q/q to USD642.9m in Q4 ’21. For FY ’21, it declined by 34.1% y/y to USD3.4bn in 2021. In Q4 ‘21, money market instruments accounted for 86.9% (USD558.9m) of total portfolio investments but declined by 29.8% q/q from USD795.7m recorded in Q3 ’21. For FY ’21, it accounted for 77.2% (USD2.6bn) of total portfolio investments. However, this is a 37% decline from the USD4.2bn recorded in 2020. Similar to Q1, Q2, and Q3, there was relatively lower contribution from bonds to portfolio investments in Q4. Bonds contributed 7.1% (USD45.9) to total portfolio investments but declined by 87.4% q/q. For FY ’21, it accounted for 16.7% (USD564.1m) of portfolio investments and this was a y/y increase of 144% from the USD231m recorded in 2020. Based on the data release, inflow via equities was low in Q4. This asset class accounted for just 5.9% (USD38m) of total portfolio investments. Equities segment declined by -32.7% q/q for Q4 ’21 and -72.6% y/y for FY ’21. The NGX All Share Index (ASI) posted a positive return of 6.1% for FY ’21. Data from NGX show the ratio of local to foreign investment participation at 81:19 in December ‘21. Foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow grew by 232.3% q/q to USD358.2m in Q4 ’21 but posted a y/y decline of -65.1%. FDI inflow accounted for only 16.4% of capital importation in Q4 ’21 and 10.4% in FY ‘21. Strengthening institutional infrastructure and governance will play a critical role in attracting FDI. From the data release, we noticed that from a sectorial perspective, capital importation into tanning recorded the highest inflow of USD645.6m, accounting for 29.5% of total capital imported in Q4 ‘21. Total foreign capital inflows into the sector totalled USD1m between Q1 ’13 – Q3 ’21. Prior to Q4 ‘21, the relatively poor inflow into the sector could be attributed to infrastructural challenges, resulting in reduced competitiveness of domestic products. This has partly led to dumping into local markets from advanced economies across Asia and Europe. Capital inflow into the production sector and electricals sector followed with USD360.1m (16.5%) and USD325.6m (14.9%) respectively. For FY ’21, capital imported into the banking sector was the largest at USD1.5bn and accounted for 21.8% of total capital imported in 2021. Meanwhile, capital importation by country of origin show that Mauritius ranked top as a source of capital imported into Nigeria in Q4 ‘21 with a value of USD611.5m, accounting for 27.9% of total capital inflows during the period. We note that capital inflow from the United States and South Africa followed with USD321.0m (14.7%) and USD285.8m (13.1%) respectively. For FY ’21, the largest capital inflow came from the United Kingdom with USD2.3bn and accounted for 34.2% of total capital imported in 2021. Overall, the decline in capital importation in 2021, can be attributed to national security challenges, inadequate infrastructure and elevated headline inflation rate resulting in relatively lower real yields.

The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) met on 21st March, 2022, in an environment of heightened geopolitical tensions and persisting macroeconomic uncertainties, associated with the recent Russia- Ukraine crisis and headwinds stemming from the lingering impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Committee reviewed developments in the global and domestic environments in the first quarter of 2022 and the outlook for the rest of the year. These include the likelihood of tightening external financial conditions associated with monetary policy normalization in the Advanced Economies, the cocktail of sanctions imposed on Russia, global supply chain disruption associated with the invasion of Ukraine, and increasing vulnerabilities associated with the burgeoning global private and public debt portfolio and risks to financial stability. Others include increased uncertainties across major financial markets and the increased risk of continuing rise in prices confronting central banks due to the huge monetary and fiscal stimuli injected into the global economy to subdue the downside risks to growth.
