EFCC Urges Court To Dismiss Rickey Tarfa’s Application

By
BWN
-

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) yesterday appeal to the Lagos State High Court in Igbosere to dismiss an application filed by a Lagos lawyer, Rickey Tarfa (SAN), challenging the jurisdiction of the court to try him over allegation of obstructing the course of justice.

Tarfa was arraigned before Justice Aishat Opesanwo on a 2-count charge of unlawful obstruction of an EFCC investigation and perversion of the course of justice.

Also, The commission had alleged that Tarfa on February 5, 2016, hid two suspects, Nazaire Sorou Gnanhoue and Modeste Finagnon, both Beninoise in his car, thereby shielding them from being arrested.

The anti-agency caught two suspects were reported to have  fraudulently converted some sophisticated manufacturing equipment belonging to Rana Prestige Nigeria Limited to personal use.

The foreigners are also being investigated by the commission for alleged multi-milion naira tax evasion.

But after his arraignment Tarfa had filed an application, seeking to quash the charge against him.

He argued that the charge did not contain economic and financial crimes and it is therefore not within the power of the EFCC to prosecute.

The lawyer is also challenging the jurisdiction of the court to entertain the suit.

In a counter-affidavit, the EFCC argued that reports submitted by its officers indicated that the lawyer impeded them from effecting the arrest of the two Beninoise.

The commission claimed that the suspects were arrested within the court’s premises after the vehicle in which they were hiding ran out of fuel.

The EFCC added further that contrary to Tarfa’s claims, his clients were arrested at the car park within the court’s premises and not inside the court room.

Consequently, the presiding judge, Justice Aishat Opesanwo adjourned the matter till March 21, for further hearing of the application.

The Students of  College of Education, Ipetu Ijesa Campus of the Osun State University protested the new policy of no tuition no examination which was introduced on Monday.

It was reported that the students started their first semester examination and the new policy prevented many of them from writing the examination.

It was also reported, that some of the students were prevented from writing some courses on Monday but the students rejected the policy on Tuesday  and interruted the examination.

One of the student reported that some other angry students locked the main gate of the university and prevented lecturers from going out after the protest  had started.

They said the schools used to allow them to write exams and after that, students would pay but it was surprising  that  the policy was now changed when the state government had stopped paying salaries.

The Minister of Science and Technology, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, has revealed that the Federal Government is in the process of establishing a science and technology development bank.

The minister said the bank would help the informal sector close technological gaps and give financial assistance for research and innovations activities across the country.

Onu said the ministry had began the process of establishing the bank with a view to implementing a venture capital component, which would help catalyse the process of technological development in the country.

However, he called on the association to brace itself for the challenge of population growth in the country by improving on the quality of time spent by the public at workshops and make honesty and reliability their watchwords.

Buhari Bags Equatorial Guinea Highest National Honour

President Muhammadu Buhari has been conferred with the highest national honour of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea. He was recognised for his personal integrity, exemplary leadership style and courage to fight terrorism in order to ensure peace and safety in Africa.

He said the recognition was for the people of Nigeria who had worked tirelessly to sustain peace in the country and across other neighbouring countries in Africa.

“On behalf of my country, Nigeria, and the people, I will like to express profound gratitude for the honour given to me and my people. The reality of the situation now is that there had never been a time in history for greater neighbourliness, for security and economic stability than now,” he said.

Buhari remarked that the challenges faced by African countries  had a common thread, and must be collectively appraised and jointly tackled by all the African countries.

He, however, assured the people that Nigeria would always support efforts of ensuring socio-political and economic stability of its neighbours and the entire African continent.

JAMB Appeal for Calm and Understanding

By

-

Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has appealed for calm and understanding following the alleged planned protest by individuals under the aegis of education consultants.

According to JAMP Public Relation officer, Dr Fabian Benjamin, advised candidates to always avail themselves of the opportunity provided by the Board through its public complaints unit to  vent  their grievances and not to allow anybody to use them to pursue any selfish interests.

Also the Board said it had approved centres provided by these individuals to be used for the 2016 exercise but, unfortunately, could not go on with them as the centres were found to be lacking in all the indices required for a successful Computer-based Test (CBT).

It explained that this was discussed with these proprietors and they showed understanding as they witnessed the difficulties the Board went through to run even a session in their centres.

The statement added, “It’s surprising that these same proprietors will turn around to organise candidates to protest over our activities.

“We are not perfect as an organisation but we are working hard to ensure that Nigerian education is better than it is. We have taken the risk to do the unthinkable so as to change the paradigm.

“We will continue to call on all Nigerians to give us the benefit of the doubt and with their collective support we will  give them one of the best CBTs globally.

The Board further announced that the worst CBT is far better than the best paper and pencil test (PPT), saying that, at the very least, the era of candidates pouring acid on staff, bolting with question papers into the bush and all manners of unthinkable embarrassing acts were gone.

Ecobank Announces that Full Year 2015 Profit will be Materially Lower Than Expected

By
BWN
-

Ecobank Transnational Incorporated (ETI), parent company of the Ecobank Group expects to report materially lower profit for the year ended 2015, driven by a number of factors:

– The macroeconomic challenges faced by most African economies, lower crude oil prices, depreciating currencies, monetary and fiscal bottlenecks, due to global developments, negatively impacted expected revenue growth. Thus, revenue growth for 2015 will be below our target guidance.

– Also, higher impairment losses on loans were recognised in the last quarter of 2015 across our loan portfolio. Key actions have been implemented to strengthen our credit risk management processes.

As a result, our revised growth targets communicated during our third quarter 2015 analysts and investor conference call for deposits and loans will not be achieved. We also expect our efficiency and asset quality metrics to be worse than targets.

Based on the aforementioned, we expect our full year 2015 profit in US dollar terms to be lower than the nine-months to 2015 reported profit.

Ecobank plans to announce its audited financial results for full year 2015 in April and follow with an analysts and investor conference call to discuss the financial results.

Ecobank remains confident in its diversified business model and the long-term prospects for growth in Africa and share equal confidence in our dedicated staff. We are positioning the company for long-term success to achieve sustainable good results.

ETI continues to enjoy the support of its major shareholders.

UBA Records N60bn Profit For 2015

By

United Bank for Africa Plc in its full year results for the year ended December 31, 2015, released to the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) has recorded a 10 per cent growth in gross earnings, closing at N315 billion and a 25 per cent growth in profit-after-tax to N60 billion; translating to a 20 per cent return on average equity.  Similarly, UBA grew operating income by 10 per cent to a record N205 billion in December 2015; from N186 billion in December 2014.

Following the performance, the board is proposing a final dividend of 40 kobo per share. This brings to 60 kobo the total dividend for the 2015 financial year. UBA had earlier paid an interim dividend of 20 kobo per share, following the audit of its 2015 half year results.

 The group managing director/chief executive officer, Mr Phillips Oduoza, commented: “our 2015 profit is a new high, reflecting the hardwork and discipline of our board, management and staff in creating value for all  stakeholders. We remain committed to growing in a responsible manner that aligns with our vision of building an enduring institution”.

He said the bank’s resilient business model, geographic diversification, proactive strategies, and strong governance created an edge for it through the year.

The group chief finance officer, Mr Ugo Nwaghodoh said “amidst macroeconomic volatilities, we leveraged efficiency gains in our business development and operations to grow earnings. We improved on our balance sheet management and pricing, thus ensuring a strong 19 per cent growth in interest income as well as an enhanced net interest margin of 6.3 per cent. Our improved service delivery and customised offerings helped in growing transaction banking volume, with attendant fee income. Whilst we were exposed to some external cost pressure, we managed to keep our cost growth at 5 per cent (below the average inflation rate of 9 per cent in Nigeria; our core market which represents three-quarter of our operations)”.
