NGX Group Chair: Dangote Refinery is a Blessing to Nigeria

REMARKS DELIVERED BY THE CHAIRMAN, NGX GROUP, ALHAJI (DR.) UMARU KWAIRANGA AT THE COURTESY VISIT TO DANGOTE REFINERY

On behalf of the capital market community, especially the management and trading licence holders of the Nigerian Exchange, I wish to express our joy to be given this opportunity to see what our mentor and father has established for the betterment of our great country.

We are already very impressed with what we have seen on our way here and look forward to a deeper look at the intricate and complex operations of the Dangote Refinery and Petrochemical Complex.

Let me also say that we are not only hear to see and listen but to also offer our services as financial advisers for the next stage of this project which I believe will involve a sale of a stake and a listing on Africa’s foremost exchange, the Nigerian Exchange.

Thank you once again for your love for country and for granting us an inside look at this magnificent edifice.

Five Tips for Success by Africa’s Top Young Entrepreneurs

The Anzisha Prize Being a young entrepreneur is difficult, no matter where you are from. But in Africa, the challenges are often far more emphasised. Resources, financing, mentorship and supporting services are even scarcer. Yet despite this, the continent’s youth unemployment is higher than elsewhere, and for many young Africans, entrepreneurship is less of a choice, and more of a requisite for survival.Last year the Anzisha Prize, Africa’s premier award for entrepreneurs between the ages of 15-22, identified a handful of young entrepreneurs who are making it in Africa.

Banks, Telcos Disagreement Hindering Mobile Money Services

The inability of banks and telecom operators to agree on modalities for mobile money operations is hindering the potential of such transactions in Nigeria, compared to the acclaimed success of M-pesa in Kenya. Mobile money transactions need legislations and approvals from both the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) which regulates the banking sector and the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) that oversees telecom services in the country. Giving an insight into the success of M-Pesa in Kenya at the Commonwealth Broadband Forum 2015 in Abuja, Mr. Joseph Tiampati Musuni, Principal Secretary, Ministry of Information, Communications and Technology, Kenya, said their country experienced a similar Banks-Telcos disagreement at the outset of mobile money services in Kenya. But he added that the government was able to facilitate an amicable and working arrangement between them to pave way for roll-out of the service.
