‘Over 80m Nigerians shun capital market’

<img src=" http://sunnewsonline.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Nigerian-Stock-Exchange-1-560x420.jpg "> Out of about 170million people, the number of Nigerians with no investments at the nation’s capital market have so far grown above 80million, it has been revealed. According to the President of the Chartered Institute of Stockbrokers (CIS), Mr Albert Okumagba, this lack of appetite for investment was the reason for the domination of the market by offshore investors who control over 60 per cent of its activities. Recall that the immediate past Director General of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Ms Arunma Oteh, had late last year lamented that the market was not where it should be, considering the nation’s immense potentials. “The ratio of market capitalization of listed stocks to GDP in Nigeria is very low at only 16 per cent, compared with 247 per cent in Malaysia; 207 per cent in South Africa and 112 per cent in Brazil. The bond market has a lot of room for growth with debt-to- GDP ratio at only 11 per cent, compared with over 200 per cent in Japan; 110 per cent in Singapore; 103 per cent in the United Kingdom; 103 per cent in the United States (US) and over 60 per cent in China. The ratio of net asset value (NAV) to GDP in Nigeria is only 0.2 per cent compared with 77 per cent in the US; 30 per cent in South Africa and five per cent in India.” Describing the situation as unacceptable during a courtesy visit of capital market community to the acting Director General of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Mounir Gwarzo, in Abuja, Okumagba, lamented that the level of participation of domestic investors is less than three million when, ideally, over 80 million people should be in the market. He added: “Our coverage of insurance assets in Nigeria is not up to two per cent of insurable assets. If we can increase from two to 20 per cent and then to 50 per cent, we will be shocked at the kind of contribution that insurance can make. For pension, coverage, it is about eight per cent. If Nigerians that are supposed to be captured by the Pension Reform Act come on stream, we can do multiples of the N4.7trillion that has been mobilized. We have opportunities for our own domestic investors. The pension companies have over $25 billion which they have taken as money. Even though, they have a room of about 25 per cent to invest, only about 12 per cent of that has been invested.” Responding, Gwarzo assured his visitors that the Commission would continue to ensure that the market remains vibrant in order to attract investors both locally and internationally. He promised that the current management would strive to develop domestic investment from retail and institutional investors. “We will step up to reach out to the market and improve investment. On the international side, what is most important is the enabling environment. Right now, the rules are very friendly and that is why we keep changing them from time to time to suit best practices and attract investors”, he added. Before her tenure expired early this month, Ms Oteh had recommended that the market stakeholders should focus on collective investment schemes to enable more Nigerians participate in the market growth.

Lazio to Liverpool: Onazi not for sale

<img src=" http://sunnewsonline.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/onazi-eagles.jpg "> The dream of Super Eagles midfielder, Ogenyi Eddy Onazi to join English Premiership side during the January transfer window has been cut short by Claudio Lotito, President of Lazio, who has issued a hands-off warning to Liverpool over its reported interest in the midfield enforcer. Onazi, who shone like a million stars for Nigeria at the FIFA World Cup in Brazil last year has had the attention of Liverpool for awhile now and it was assumed that the club revived its interest in the winter transfer market after failing to sign him last summer. It had been claimed that Liverpool hoped to clinch the youngster’s signature by offering striker Fabio Borini in part – exchange. But The Biancocelesti supremo expected Eddy Onazi to remain at the club after the close of the January transfer window. ‘’Onazi is not for sale and I have received offers,’’ Claudio Lotito told mediasetpremium.it. ‘’Reinforcement in attack? We’ll see, we have different loan players: I will talk with the coach and we will see what the market offers.’’ Having extended his Lazio contract last September, Eddy Onazi is now tied to the club until 2018. The 22-year-old had appeared in 10 Serie A matches so far this season.

Super-four invitational tourney: We’re ill prepared –Enyimba

<img src=" http://sunnewsonline.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Enyimba-confederation-cup.jpg "> The technical crew of the People Elephants, Enyimba FC of Aba, has admitted that the loss to the Flying Eagles in the ongoing Super-four invitational tournament at the Abuja National Stadium has exposed the team’s readiness for next month’s CAF Champions League. Speaking in a post-match conference after losing 2-0 to the Flying Eagles, the assistant coach, Friday Christopher, who stood in for the chief coach, Kadiri Ikhana, admitted that the manners the Garba Manu boys ran around them were indications that the players were match rusty and unfit. According to him; “Let me start by thanking the organisers of this championship for doing good thing to us. It wouldn’t have come at a better time for the team representing the country than now to ginger us. I have to admit that we have been resting since the end of the season for one reason or the other and there has not been any match to play. “Participating in this championship will really help us. We are not really thinking about the outcome of the game against the Flying Eagles because we just needed games to make the players match fit for the continental tournament. I have to also admit that the Flying Eagles players are good side and younger. “They really proved to our players that they have fitness prob lem. Having been in camp for a long time, they have really proved that they are fitter than us. We are going to come up with a better team in our next matches and by the time we finish the matches, we will build a better team for the CAF tournament,” he noted. Similarly, coach Manu had expressed desire that he would want to watch his boys lift the tournament trophy though they are not yet fully ready for the Africa Youth Championship (AYC) billed for Senegal, stressing that the trophy would be a morale buster for his team. “Our target has always been to win every match we participate and this will not be an exception. Sincerely speaking, winning the Super-four will definitely boast the morale of the team ahead of Senegal 2015 AYC.”

Coach Musa Abdullahi dies, NFF mourns

<img src=" http://sunnewsonline.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/NFF-Ademola-Olajire.jpg "> Former assistant coach of the Super Eagles and handler of the national U-17 team, Coach Musa Abdullahi has passed on after his battle with stroke and was buried. The death of the coach according to the Assistant Director Me dia of the NFF, Ademola Olajire occurred yesterday in his home town in Kogi State where he had relocated to after he had stroke. Reacting to the news of his death, the NFF stated: “This is ter rible news,” began NFF President Amaju Pinnick, who spoke on telephone from Equatorial Guinea where he is on official duty for the Confederation of African Football at the 30th Africa Cup of Nations finals. “Coach Musa Abdullahi was known by all who came across him as a gentleman to the core, a very humble, highly dedicated and tireless professional who had real passion for the job. He was just a likeable person in every respect. “We feel very, very sad to lose him but God loves him more and he has gone to rest. Our prayer is for Almighty God to grant him peaceful rest and also grant the family he has left behind the fortitude to bear the huge loss,” Pinnick stated. The ever-smiling Musa Abdullahi assisted Coach Fanny Amun to lead the U-17 National Team to a second FIFA U-17 World Cup title in Japan in 1993, before leading the team, several years later, to win the African title in Seychelles in 2001 and win silver at the FIFA U-17 World Cup in Trinidad and Tobago the same year. He also served at different times as Assistant Coach of the Senior National Team, Super Eagles.

Oshoala: Nigeria’ll benefit more –NFF

<img src=" http://sunnewsonline.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/OSHOALA.jpg "> The move by reigning African Woman Footballer of the Year, Asisat Oshoala to Liverpool has been described as one that would open more opportunities for Nigerian women footballers. This is the candid view of the Nigeria Football Federation, acting President, Barrister Seyi Akinwunmi while commending the player as well as FIFA-badged referee Ferdinand Udoh for deserved strides they made in the past few days. According to a release signed by Ademola Olajire, the spokes man for the NFF, Asisat’s move will bring about hard work for women footballers in the country as they would want to do better to attract foreign clubs. Oshoala, Most Valuable Player of the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup finals in Canada, and also undisputable choice for same honour at the African Women Championship in Namibia last year, signed a professional contract with Liverpool Ladies Football Club of England. “The NFF is happy with the selection of Ferdinand Udoh for the African U-17 Championship in Niger. This underscores that the integrated efforts we are making for the general improvement of refereeing in Nigeria has not gone unnoticed by the organisations that matter. “For some years now, we have not had a Nigerian centre referee at major competitions. Now, Udoh is starting with the U-17, which we know is a stepping stone to further glory and much greater glory. Let me reiterate that our objective is to see a Nigerian referee, or referees, officiate at the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals in Russia. “We congratulate Oshoala who is definitely the new poster girl of Nigeria’s women football. Her contract with Liverpool Ladies will certainly encourage her mates in the National Team to also put in more efforts to attract the attention of the best clubs in the world.” Oshoala was duly crowned the African Woman Player of the Year and Youth Player of the Year at the Glo-CAF African Football Awards in Lagos earlier this month, with Nigeria also claiming the Women National of the Year diadem.

Juwah: NCC national exemplar

<img src=" http://sunnewsonline.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/juwah-ict-man.jpg "> According to Branden Beban, Ireland will put a shillelagh into orbit, Israel will put a matzo ball into orbit and Lichtenstein will put a postage stamp into orbit before the Canadians will ever put up a mouse. If am to extrapolate and paraphrase this summation, Nigeria, through the unprecedented instrumen tality of the helmsman of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Dr. Eugene Juwah, will exponentially re- engineer broadband into orbit ahead of any other African nation. This declaration is not within the threshold of our af fective continental leadership, but the service quintessence of this taciturn engineer. It is beyond contention that this man has broken with the past in the revolution of the regulatory and supervisory paradigms of the telecommunications expansive space in our country. He has made the function seem as if it had never existed because of the optimality that has redefined the entire informational ecology vis-à-vis the telephonic wand of it. The appositeness of his appointment to the headship of this critical agency of government has confirmed that it is not only in the organized private sector that you have men of distinction, commitment and passion for national service and institutional regeneration that may be unrivalled years after he had quit with aplomb and in a blaze of glory, all testamentary to a life of robust accomplishments and a profundity of inimitabilities. The latest bestowal of award on January 17, 2015, by The Sun Publishing Limited on this taciturn and diligent engineer is testimonious of a life of distinction that is nationally and globally acknowledged by individuals, professional associations, sectoral groups and responsible corporate citizens. The changes Juwah has wrought in Nigeria’s burgeon ing telecommunications industry are such that this recognition and others under way will no longer astound any fellow who has a measure of familiarity with the mechanics and dynamics of the information superhighway. My deep appreciation of today’s subject is informed by my stint at Globacom Limited as a Public Relations Manager who by virtue of inter-departmental interactions with colleagues got exposed to the intricacies of the business and how pivotal the NCC is to the chemistry of communication on these shores. I went away with the knowledge that a weak regulatory leadership could have the potential of undermining the tremendous investments in this sphere of life. With the NCC under the astute leadership of Juwah breaking frontiers and overshooting anticipated economic returns, I now, more than ever before, understand the present significance and long-term import of Juwah’s exemplary tenure. Juwah’s innovativeness in this calling has made the arduous task look almost ordinary! No more are Nigerians inundated with consumers’ complaints about service failures and other multifarious sharp practices by GSM companies as was a rhyme long before now. With the gusto he brought into the business, there was no way his scope of influence and control over the GSM firms would not result in what we are experiencing now which keeps birthing awards for the brain behind it all. The inerasable footprints of Juwah in the telecom firmament will remain a reference point in our national life and economy for us Nigerians and other Africans who are also beneficiaries of Juwah’s magic wand here. His epochal attainments in this public service are not just transformative but achievements that will endure and outlive the icons that rooted them, particularly the NCC captainship. Another offshoot of the well-deserved honours that come his way is that they tend to draw more resolution from him as regards making his turf even better like a man who is not satisfied with the best of the expectations from the society. He keeps unfolding novelties that make both parties to be at peace with each other unlike the adversary relationship that pervaded the atmosphere some years back. Indeed, the level of amity among all stakeholders is such that could lead to suspicion of compromise. Prior to this time, it was like a cat and mouse interlock with nobody able to track the trajectory of quality of service, which is the ultimate in this social contract. I am celebrating this icon of telecommunications excellence today not because The Sun just added another feather in his cap, but because he has brought unparalleled vista to the NCC office and mandate. I will not bore you with details of his scholastic and employment antecedents, which could be sourced from copious channels. His pedigree that is bursting at the seams compelled me to dedicate this column today to this visionary man whom I have not met before but has read so much about him and seen so much, too, of his electrifying interventions and pace-setting introductions that I could write a book on him at the NCC without any interface. For me, it speaks volumes of the trail-blazing substance, character and prospects of this foremost public servant in Nigeria. If his contemporaries in other sectors had applied the same quintessence and candour to their national assignations, Nigeria would have advanced holistically beyond where it is today. Alas, the Juwahs in this scorched environment are very few in a highly corrupt community where public service is characterized by graft, sleaze and obscene accumulation of wealth, where men are reckoned with by the amount of ill- gotten money they amassed while in office than by the quality of their overall contributions to national transformation, where value has been so eroded that the Juwahs are hardly appreciated for ignoring the ways of men and living a life of ac countability, probity and piety amid immeasurable service to our fatherland. Juwah may not know this: his passion for hard work has become a part of our national entrepreneurial history. The NCC under his astute leadership will remain referential as long as humanity subsists. In your ascendancy on the rungs of the NCC, more awards will definitely come your way. Let me begin to round off this tribute with an affirmation that your invaluable contributions as a telecom regulatory czar and a supervisory emancipator can never be forgotten now or in the future. The government and its citizens are taking note of your input here and elsewhere. I take off my hat to you on The Sun award as I expect more of such recognition in the months ahead. I end this impromptu toast with an extract from a racy and highly interesting article in THISDAY ON SUNDAY of January 18, 2015, by one Kenneth Ugbechie: “The Nigerian public service has had a nasty history of incompetence, corruption, administrative tardiness and downright ineptitude. T he likes of Juwah have come to redefine the public service space, raising hope in an oasis of despair. The Sun award is, therefore, a fitting trophy for a man who has rallied his team to bequeath to Nigerians a robustly competitive and richly re warding, both for the consumers and operators.”

Ending fuel importation in 2018

<img src=" http://sunnewsonline.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/aganga-olusegun.jpg "> The Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Mr. Olusegun Aganga, has promised an end to fuel importation into Nigeria by 2018. He spoke during a recent visit to steel fabrication and power solutions company, Mikano International Limited, in Lagos. Stopping the importation of oil, he said, will save Nigeria a minimum of $10 billion. Reducing the nation’s huge imports bill is, indeed, a desirable objective. This is more so as the minister confirmed that Nigeria also spent about $3 billion importing steel and $6 bil lion on cars and spare parts imports. Agaga said the era in which the country relied entirely on the export of raw materials was over and that with the launch of the government’s “Industrial Revolution Plan” which began in 2012, Nigeria can no longer be import-dependent, “especially in products we can produce ourselves.” In apparent reference to the crash of crude oil price in the world market, he noted that “we have identified 13 products that will replace oil. These are areas where Nigeria has comparative advantage and export capacity. Mexico did it (diversified its economy and revenue base) in seven years.” We would, indeed, have loved to share the minister’s optimism on the 2018 target for ending fuel importation. Of all the areas in the nation’s economy in which Nigerians feel let down by successive governments, none hurts as much as the fact that the country still imports a lot of its fuel in spite of being the 8th largest producer of oil in the world. Fifty-seven years after the country commenced oil exports, the country cannot refine enough oil to meet local demand. This is in spite of having built four oil refineries. These refineries were built with heartbreaking indifference to the need for their maintenance and technology transfer. In other countries, a contract to build a petroleum refining facility would automatically come with a technical agreement to enable the citizens eventually run, repair, and maintain the facility on their own. It would also include building up skills which would enable the country build new refineries on its own if it so needs. Instead of this, billions of naira are spent on the “turn-around maintenance” of the refineries, in spite of which the refineries run at about 25 per cent of their capacities. At the time the second Port Harcourt Refinery was conceived, it was to refine products for export, since the other three refineries were considered adequate for Nigeria’s domestic needs. And, as domestic needs increased with greater population and much more robust industrial activity, the country’s planners ought to have factored the increase into national planning. Previous efforts to build more refineries have failed, including the one involving the issuance of one dozen or so licences to different companies, authorising them to build independent refineries. The situation seems to have become so desperate that the country, at a point, began negotiations with Niger Republic to supply refined products to Nigeria. At the moment, the Dangote Group which is planning a refin ery has promised Nigerians that in 2016, the percentage of pe troleum products that would be imported would be reduced and might disappear altogether in 2018. If this is the basis for the minister’s optimism, let everything be done to make the plan a reality. The percentage of Nigeria’s oil requirement that is imported is small, but the $ 10 billion saving we can make from stopping the importation could change the lives of millions of Nigerians if deployed elsewhere in the economy. The benefits of ending the importation of fuel are so obvious, they do not need repeating. But, the people need to know the basis for the optimism and the plan to achieve it to help keep the government on track. Nigerians truly wish that we do not have to import refined petroleum products. The government should set benchmarks for the plan to stop oil imports and institute measurable project evaluation tech niques, if only to restore the faith of Nigerians in its ability to make the initiative a reality.

I want collabo with Tuface–Peejay, Tuface’s look alike

<img src=" http://sunnewsonline.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/tuface.jpg "> Budding artiste, Edozie Peter Chigozie aka Peejay, has dropped a brand new single entitled Pronto and with a striking resemblance to top Nigerian music star, Tuface Idibia, Peejay says he is determined to follow in the footsteps of his look alike. In a chat with The Entertainer, the new kid on the block said: “Pronto is a song every music lover would love to listen to. It has soothing lyrics and good beats to make you nod and be tempted to hit the dance floor. It’s a song beckoning on all the ladies to follow me pronto!” Peejay who cut his teeth as a Serengeti Records sign on says his style is a fusion of R&B, pop, highlife, Afro pop and dancehall. He has also worked with the likes of OJB Jezreel, Dr frabz, Hakym, Eclipse and the late Dagrin. “It would be a very big achievement for me to get Tuface Idibia to feature in my songs; he is my mentor. I have actually met him before and he spoke to me like a father. He gave me an advice that would last me for a life time,” the act said, opening up on his dream.

It was a pleasure to welcome Secretary John Kerry to Nigeria. We had a candid and constructive discussion about a broad range of issues. Nigeria is a vibrant democracy and the largest trading partner of the United States in Africa, with more than $ 18 billion in bilateral trade. Our countries and peoples share a mutual admiration for each other and a deep commitment to freedom, democracy, and human rights. This is why we are together engaged in a struggle against a common enemy that promotes terror, fear, division, and violates human rights, most especially of women and girls, with complete impunity. Winning the fight against Boko Haram in Nigeria and West Africa is absolutely essential to beat back the tide of religious extremism around the world. Our security forces have been working tirelessly and courageously to achieve this goal. I reaffirmed for Secretary Kerry that Nigeria is strongly committed to building the multinational task force to fight Boko Haram in partnership with Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Benin Republic under the auspices of the Lake Chad Basin Commission. Indeed, I called publicly for such a regional approach at the African leaders summit in Paris in May 2014 and more recently in multilateral meetings. We are pleased that the international community is now strongly united behind this initiative and agree that its success is critical. It is equally important that the multinational force receives the significant support that is required to address the threat through our global partners. The United States, more than any other country in the world, has the most experience fighting armed insurgencies. And having suffered the devastating attacks of 9/11, its people also understand the insecurity and fear that is the reality for the vast majority of peaceful, tolerant Muslims and Christians in North Eastern Nigeria. This is why I firmly believe that enhancing and expanding various channels of cooperation between our two countries, in the context of growing international coordination, are of the utmost importance. I discussed a number of ideas with Secretary Kerry to move such cooperation forward. We are grateful to the United States for standing with Nigeria and its people in our fight against Boko Haram. I reaffirmed our strong commitment to working together with the United States to put an end to global terrorism and particularly Boko Haram. Nigeria will also work to deepen and consolidate our bilateral relationship with the United States. I emphasized to Secretary Kerry that I am deeply committed to ensuring that our forthcoming election is free, fair, and credible. It is especially critical that all political parties abide by the Abuja Accord, which commits each to non-violence before, during, and after the election. I made it absolutely clear that the May 29th handover date is sacrosanct. In addition, the Government will provide all resources that are required by the Independent National Electoral Commission to ensure that the election goes smoothly. I also emphasized that INEC is an independent body, which makes its own decisions without any interference from the Government.

What we have tried to do is to mobilize other countries to try to give the Nigerian government more resources, not just military equipment but also better intelligence. A lot of them to track where these folks are and try to stop them" he said </blockquote>
