@Omojuwa This is not just about King’s college but our continued collective failure to curb the decline of great institutions. Those opposing the rehabilitation are protecting neither the students nor education but the decay of a 100+years institution. #notFloreat but I’m pained.

@Meedeey@AminuDalhat You’re absolutely right. However, the regulator has mastered safety and is moving towards growth. We expect to see increased limit for alternative assets that will easily beat inflation.
Segun Agbaje, the Group CEO of GTCO, on why GTCO is not interested in expanding to South Africa.
He says South Africa is a mature market. All South African companies making money are making it from Nigeria.
He cannot go to SA to make money while they're coming here.
I’m not sure fifa wants to confront the US on these issues. They are happy to turn a blind eye to the mistreatment of players of particular nationalities.
@gimbakakanda Just like they should have done with Iran. Fifa had ample time to figure out solutions to countries having diplomatic issues with the United States, subsequently scheduling those countries to be in Canada or Mexico.
The perennial job market conundrum persists. Many graduates and 'experienced' professionals allude to a lack of opportunities while recruiters highlight a shortage of qualified candidates. Clearly, there's a gap that needs to be filled. The question is..how? Your thoughts.
INCENTIVES WITHOUT TRANSPARENCY: FACTS, NOT FLOWERY PROMISES
While the Presidency celebrates the gazetting of “targeted incentives” for Shell’s Bonga South West project, Nigerians must ask hard questions that the press release carefully avoids.
First, no Nigerian has been told the actual cost of these incentives. What tax revenues are being deferred, reduced, or waived? For how long? Under what measurable performance benchmarks? Incentives without numbers are not policy,they are blank cheques.
Second, the claim that these incentives are “ring-fenced” and “investment-linked” remains unverified rhetoric until the gazette is made public. Nigerians have seen this movie before: incentives promised as temporary quietly become permanent revenue leaks.
Third, government speaks of “thousands of jobs,” yet provides no job breakdown—how many are permanent Nigerian jobs versus short-term contracts or expatriate roles? Deep-offshore projects are capital-intensive, not labour-intensive, and history shows they often create far fewer local jobs than advertised.
Fourth, citing Shell’s $7 billion investment in 13 months without clarifying how much is new capital versus previously approved or reinvested commitments is misleading. Investors do not need applause; Nigerians need clarity.
Most troubling is the silence on energy justice. At a time when Nigerians face high fuel prices, rising electricity tariffs, and energy poverty, government is fast-tracking incentives for multinational oil firms,without publicly explaining how ordinary Nigerians will tangibly benefit.
Investor confidence is important. But national confidence is earned through transparency, not press statements.
If these incentives truly protect public revenue, boost local content, and serve Nigeria’s long-term interest, the government should publish the full gazette immediately, including:
Fiscal terms and duration
Revenue trade-offs
Enforceable local-content obligations
Clear job and FX benchmarks
Nigeria does not lack investors. What it lacks is open governance.
Until the facts are on the table,i remain skeptical.
