GOVERNMENT’S PLAN TO STOP EXPORTATION OF UNPROCESSED MINERALS

Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Kayode Fayemi’s disclosure that the Federal Government is making moves to stop exportation of unprocessed minerals out of the country will be more meaningful if the plan is all- encompassing. Against all economic and common sense, all of Nigeria’s crude oil is being exported in unprocessed form! And that is where all attempts to add value and make more money for Nigeria should start from.

EVALUATION OF THE NIGERIA’S ECONOMIC RECOVERY AND GROWTH PLAN

What manner of plan?
Recently, Nigeria unveiled its long-awaited Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP). Some analysts believe that the plan was crafted to meet the conditionalities of World Bank and African Development Bank (AfBD) loans. It might also have been developed as precondition for assent by the National Assembly for the $30 billion borrowing plan proposed by the federal government.

BEHOLD UZO OSHOGWE, A REAL ESTATE DYNAST AND MANAGING DIRECTOR OF AFRILAND PROPERTIES PLC

WHY NON-AFRICAN COMPANY IS IN THE GLOBAL TOP 500 COMPANIES

Smitten by a collective guilt of underachievement arising from the continent’s no-show among global top 500 companies, some participants at Africa CEO Forum held in March in Geneva, Switzerland, sought solace in the future. They hinged the building of African companies that could achieve the feat over the next eight years on Nigeria’s big domestic market provided government ensures good business environment for economic growth. (But why should Africa CEO Forum be headquartered outside the continent in the first place?) In 2016, the annual revenues of the world’s biggest companies were US$482.1 billion for the first ranked and $20.9 billion for the 500th ranked company.

EXPERTS TASK GOVERNMENT ON IMPLEMENTATION OF TRADE LIBERALISATION SCHEME

As the nation struggles to wriggle out of the present economic recession, stakeholders have called on the government to create an enabling environment to facilitate the strengthening and proper utilization of the Trade Liberalisation Scheme of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

LEGALIZATION OF ILLEGAL REFINERIES: A RIGHT STEP IN A RIGHT DIRECTION

That the Federal Government has the motivation and desire to legalise the “ILLEGAL refineries” is commendable. It is sound strategy even though long overdue. First, let’s humanise the activities and call them “artisanal or cottage industries.” Remember, a country, unable to refine its own crude oil lacks internal, external, social and economic security.
