Aliko Dangote reveals how much loan he got from CBN for his refinery

0

The Chief Executive Officer, CEO, of Dangote Refinery, Aliko Dangote has opened up on how much loan his company got from the Central Bank of Nigeria.

He revealed that his company secured a total of $2.7 billion in loans from the Central Bank between 2013 to 2023 to finance the refinery.

The richest man in Africa made this known in a statement at his mega refinery in Lagos.

He explained that the refinery was primarily funded through the company’s own resources, with minimal external assistance.

Dangote said that he chose to bypass project financing due to the challenges of securing funds from international creditors.

He said:

“On the loan that we got, part of the loan was taken by Dangote Industries, which is a local company.

Dangote Industries got allocation from Central Bank and the total allocation that we got, including the money that we lost in terms of interest, was about $2.7 billion from 2013 to 2023.

“Out of the $2.7 billion we still have more than $200 million of forwards that we’re yet to collect from the CBN.

So, it’s the total of $2.5 billion we got from the CBN in real cash which was paid in terms of interest and principal payment.”

It is risky for faceless people to lead August protests – Dele Momodu

0

Dele Momodu, veteran journalist and the publisher of Ovation Magazine, has expressed concerns over the planned youth-led nationwide protest scheduled for August 1 to 15.

In a post on X on Wednesday, Momodu said there are risks associated with protests led by faceless individuals.

Drawing from his extensive experience with protests, which spans 46 years since his time at the University of Ife in 1978, Momodu stated:

“I have 46 years experience in protests, since 1978 at the University of Ife.

“There’s nothing riskier for a nation than faceless people or a mob leading protests. It is the right of everyone to protest but not the right of anyone to cause mayhem… And government has the right to protect lives and properties.”

He reiterated that while protesting is a fundamental right, it must be conducted in a manner that does not lead to violence or destruction.

The protest is being organized in response to the escalating economic challenges facing Nigerians, particularly the rising cost of living.

[FULL STORY] Over 100 bandits killed by the Nigerian Army

0

Troops of the Nigerian Army, in collaboration with vigilante operatives, have reportedly killed over 100 armed bandits around Kundu in Wushishi local government area of Niger State.

It was gathered the incident occurred on Wednesday morning.

The criminals were ambushed by the security agencies while crossing Kontagora Road through their usual route towards Akere axis of Kundu.

It was also gathered that the military and the vigilante, who were monitoring the movement of the gunmen through the route, ambushed them which resulted in many casualties on the part of the criminals.

A source from Kundu community told journalists that residents received information that the bandits were coming on motorcycles, however, they later discovered that they discarded the motorcycles and were trekking to where they will launch their attack.

The source stated that the sudden change of mode of transportation was due to information provided by informants to the bandits.

Also, a resident of Wushishi, Ishaku Musa Kato, disclosed that they heard gunshots on Wednesday morning even during the heavy rainfall.

“We commend the military and vigilantes for countering them successfully this time around,” he said.

When contacted, the Niger State Commissioner for Homeland and Security, Retired General Abdullahi Bello Mohammed, confirmed the incident while commanding the military and vigilantes for their exploits.

“The bandits will surely evacuate their injured and corpses. Nobody cannot confirm exactly the number of casualties now,” he added.

They are planning to attack car owners, landlords in protest – DHQ

0

Ahead of the August 1 planned ‘EndBadGovernance’ protest, the Defense Headquarters, DHQ, says it has uncovered a plot by mischief-makers to attack car owners, landlords and smartphone users during the demonstration.

The Director of Defense Media Operations, Major General Edward Buba, made this known on Thursday at a press briefing in Abuja.

“Already, we have detected some unscrupulous elements bent on hijacking the planned protest to make it violent.

Many are therefore following in ignorance.

“For instance, there are indications that if you possess a smartphone, if you possess a car, if you possess a shop, if you own a house or even use air conditioning in your house, you have been labeled a target,” he said.

Meanwhile, President Bola Tinubu, governors, and the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, have appealed to Nigerians to shelve the planned ‘EndBadGovernance’ protest.

The protest against economic hardship, which is gaining traction on social media, has been scheduled to be held across all states of the Federation as well as the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, in August.

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike has appealed to residents of Abuja not to partake in the planned nationwide protest against hardship.

Wike made the appeal while interacting with residents after he inspected the ongoing construction of a 5-kilometre access road to Saburi 1 and 2 in Abuja Municipal Area Council, AMAC, in Abuja on Thursday.

Some unidentified Nigerians have planned to embark on a peaceful protest over hunger and insecurity in the country beginning on August 1.

However, the minister said that President Bola Tinubu is aware of the concerns of Nigerians and is working hard to address the challenges.

Describing the current hunger and suffering as a temporary situation, the minister said that the ongoing reforms and policies would soon yield the desired results.

He alleged protest is being organized by some politicians in a bid to destabilize Tinubu’s administration.

Meta removes 63,000 Instagram accounts in Nigeria over ‘sextortion’ scams

0

On Wednesday, Meta announced that it had removed approximately 63,000 Instagram accounts in Nigeria that were attempting to engage in financial sexual extortion scams, primarily targeting adult men in the United States.

Nigerian online fraudsters, often referred to as “Yahoo boys,” are notorious for scams that include posing as individuals in financial distress or as Nigerian princes offering lucrative investment opportunities.

Meta said in a statement the removed accounts also included a smaller coordinated network of around 2,500 that were linked to a group of around 20 individuals.

“They targeted primarily adult men in the U.S. and used fake accounts to mask their identities,” Meta said.

In sexual extortion, or “sextortion”, people are threatened with the release of compromising photos, either real or faked, if they do not pay to stop them.

The investigation showed that the majority of the scammers’ attempts were unsuccessful and although mostly targeting adults, there were also attempts against minors, which Meta reported to the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children in the U.S.

The company said it had used a combination of new technical signals developed to help identify sex extortion.

Nigeria’s scammers became known as “419 scams” after the section of the national penal code that dealt – ineffectively – with fraud.

As economic hardships worsen in the country of more than 200 million people, online scams have grown, with those behind them operating from university dormitories, shanty suburbs or affluent neighborhoods.

Meta said some accounts were providing tips for conducting scams.

“Their efforts included offering to sell scripts and guides to use when scamming people, and sharing links to collections of photos to use when populating fake accounts,” it said.

Netflix increases subscription price by 40% in Nigeria

0

Netflix, the video streaming platform, has increased its subscription prices in Nigeria once again, with the Premium Plan rising by 40% from N5,000 to N7,000 per month.

This marks the second price adjustment by Netflix within the past three months, following a previous increase in April.

According to the price update on the company’s website, the Standard plan subscription, which is popular among Nigerian subscribers for its HD quality and multi-screen viewing options, has been increased from N4,000 to N5,500. This represents a 37.5% increment.

Netflix’s Basic plan, which was N2,900 has been jerked up by 21% to N3,500, while the lowest subscription plan, Mobile, has gone up by 83% from N1,200 to N2,200.

April increment

Earlier in April, the streaming giant announced an increment that saw its Premium Plan price moved to N5,000 from N4,400. At the same time, the Standard Plan was increased from N3,600 to N4,000, while the Basic Plan remained unchanged at N2,900.

At the time, Netflix said the price adjustment was part of a broader strategy to revise its subscription fees across various regions.

The changes, according to the company, were aimed at accelerating its revenue and earnings growth, following a pattern of periodic price hikes to support the expansion of content offerings.

What you should know

The Netflix price increment comes amid high inflation in Nigeria that has pushed up prices of every product and service being offered in the country.

While Nigerians grapple with skyrocketing food prices, home entertainment is becoming out of reach for many households as a result of price increases.

Meanwhile, Netflix has been adjusting prices in key markets globally, including the United States, United Kingdom, and France, with the Basic and Premium plans experiencing increases in October 2023.

Gabon invites Dangote to explore business opportunities, amid attacks in Nigeria

0

President Brice Oligui Nguema of Gabon has invited Africa’s wealthiest man, Aliko Dangote, to invest in the country.

According to Dangote Industries Limited, the billionaire was encouraged to explore investment opportunities in cement and fertilizers (urea and phosphate).

“President Brice Oligui Nguema of Gabon has invited the President and Chief Executive Officer of Dangote Industries Limited (DIL), Aliko Dangote to invest in Cement and Fertiliser production in Gabon,” Dangote Group said in a statement.

“The President urged Dangote to explore potential investment opportunities in the country’s cement and fertilizer sectors, specifically urea and phosphate production.

According to the statement, Dangote conversed with Nguema and other top government officials during the visit.

“The talks focused on how Dangote Industries could contribute to Gabon’s economic growth by establishing cement and fertilizer plants, which are vital for the country’s infrastructure development and agricultural productivity,” Dangote Group said.

“President Nguema expressed enthusiasm about the potential partnership, highlighting Gabon’s commitment to creating a conducive environment for foreign investments.

“He noted that the collaboration with Dangote Industries would bring significant benefits, including job creation, technology transfer, and enhanced industrial capacity.”

The invitation from Gabon, an oil-rich nation, comes amid the rift between Dangote, oil marketers and top government officials.

Dangote had earlier disclosed how a cabal was blocking his moves to import crude, saying that had slowed down operations at his petroleum refinery.

But the situation took a worse turn when the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) claimed that the Nigerian government was yet to license the Dangote Refinery to begin operations.

Farouk Ahmed, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of NMDPRA, said this while speaking with State House correspondents, on Thursday.

According to Ahmed, the claims of ongoing efforts to scuttle the operations of Dangote refinery due to lack of supply of crude oil by International Oil Companies were not true, adding that the refinery was still at the pre-commissioning stage and has not been licensed yet.

He said: –

“There are lots of concerns about the supply of petroleum products nationwide and the claims by some media houses that we were trying to scuttle Dangote refinery; that is not so.

“Dangote refinery is still in the pre-commissioning stage.

It has not been licensed yet. We have not licensed them yet.

“I think they are at about 45 percent completion.

So we can not rely heavily on one refinery to feed the nation because Dangote is requesting that we should suspend or stop all importation of petroleum products, especially automotive gas oil (AGO) or jet kero and direct all marketers to the refinery.”

Ahmed maintained that the request would promote monopoly in the market and was not good for the nation in terms of energy security.

“So, in terms of quality, currently, the AGO quality in terms of sulfur in the lowest as far as a West African requirement of 50 ppm.

“Dangote Refinery, as well as some major refineries, like Walter Smith’s refinery, other refineries, they produce 650 to 1,200 ppm.

So, in terms of quality, their quality is much, much inferior to the imported commodities,” he added.

But Dangote kicked back, saying his products were of international standard, emphasizing that tests had been done to that effect.

He also wondered why he was under attack, saying a friend who counselled him against pumping billions of dollars into the Nigerian economy taunted him over the turn of events.

“Four years ago, one of my very wealthy friends began to invest his money abroad.

I disagreed with him and urged him to rethink his action in the interest of his country.

He blamed his action on policy inconsistencies and shenanigans of interest groups.

That friend has been taunting me in the past few days, saying he warned me and that he has been proven right,” the businessman said in an interview.

On Monday, Heneiken Lokpobiri, Nigerian Minister of State for Petroleum, invited Dangote and top officials in the oil sector to a meeting, with a view to resolve the crisis in the oil sector.

“Protests are not wrong but shouldn’t turn violent” – Lagos SSG

0

In anticipation of the planned nationwide protests in August, the Lagos State Government has affirmed that such demonstrations are a legitimate right of citizens, stating that there is nothing wrong with them.

Bimbola Salu-Hundeyin, the Secretary to the State Government, made this statement on Tuesday during a meeting with the Secretaries to the Local Governments (SLGs).

She, however, cautioned the intending protesters to be wary that the protest does not turn violent and destructive.

According to her, even though protests are the citizens’ legitimate right, there is no need to protest in Lagos, stating that the state has done well for its citizens.

She said: –

“It is a legitimate right for citizens to protest, as there is nothing wrong in it, but people should be wary that it does not turn violent and destructive.

“Lagos State has done so much for its citizens that nobody in the state should stand up and say they are going to break anything.

“Sincerely, and I mean it; it is not because I am the Secretary of the State Government; I speak from my heart and God knows; there is no reason for anybody to cause any protests or riots or violence in Lagos State”.

Protest is your right – Atiku supports Nigerians

0

Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has called on the good people of Nigeria to exercise their rights to protest against economic hardship in the country.

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate in the 2023 general election said the Constitution of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) guaranteed citizens the right to protest peacefully.

Atiku, in a statement on Tuesday said the accusation and threat from the Presidency that some persons were behind the protest was a baseless accusation.

He said:

“For the avoidance of doubt, the rights of citizens to protest are enshrined in the Nigerian Constitution and affirmed by our courts.

Section 40 of the 1999 Constitution (as altered) unequivocally guarantees the right to peaceful assembly and association.

Chasing shadows and contriving purported persons behind the planned protests is an exercise in futility when it is obvious that Nigerians, including supporters of Tinubu and the ruling APC, are caught up in the hunger, anger, and hopelessness brought about by the incompetence and cluelessness of this government.”

“It is deeply ironic that those who now seek to stifle these rights were themselves leading protests in 2012.

A responsible government must ensure a safe and secure environment for citizens to exercise their constitutionally guaranteed rights to peaceful protest.

Any attempt to suppress these rights is not only unconstitutional but a direct affront to our democracy.”

Godswill Akpabio breaks silence over trending allegations of having multiple side chics

0

Nigeria’s Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has reacted to the allegations on social media about him having multiple side chics.

Controversial blogger, Gistlover, created a buzz on social media after naming several women, including Nancy Isime, Hilda Baci, Wanneka, Ini Edo, and Dakore Egbuson, as alleged side chics of the Senate President.

Akpabio referred to a previous conversation with Senator Natasha Akpoti, which he believes was misinterpreted and led to the controversy.

He stated that his wife received a lot of calls and messages as a result of the unjust accusations.

Akpabio expressed surprise at the public’s interest in the matter and clarified that he is happily married to one wife and has no interest in any other woman.

He said:

“I’ve not been online.

I started getting calls and text messages this morning alerting me to a very wicked lie from the pit of hell and I must say I am very disappointed, I’m very shocked, I’m appalled and I want to categorically state that I’ve never ever in my life met the senate president, I have not had any cause to see him or to be in the same room with him, not to talk of being one of his side chicks.

Hello, I’m married, happily married, I have two beautiful children, I have always been above board in my dealings with anyone and for a jobless wicked blogger to put my name amongst women who have been with this man is totally wicked and totally unfounded!”
