CITING economic sabotage, the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, yesterday said that it would close bank accounts of any company or person caught in smuggling and dumping of banned products into the country.

TRAVELLING, for the first time in more than three years through Epe-Ijebu-Ode-Ibadan road on May 25, 2019 provided another reason why the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, must answer the question: “what will cotton replace among the current basket of crops now cultivated in Nigeria?”

THE Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, and the International Finance Corporation, IFC, have charged Microfinance Banks, MfBs to embrace self regulation and consolidation to enhance performance and sustainability of the sector.

THE easiest way to be loved, even pampered by those in power in Nigeria, or elsewhere for that matter, is to always shower praises on measures proposed or taken by the leaders. Request for appointments are quickly granted and other favours follow. That is the subtle form of bribery and corruption which corrodes the basis of society as surely as the barefaced embezzlement of public funds by the custodians of funds and trusts. It is even much easier when one generally agrees with the official to fall into the trap of becoming a cheap praise-singer. It is tendency that must be fought always.

A Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) survey report yesterday shows a marginal expansion in economic activities in the country persisted for the twenty-sixth consecutive month in May 2019.
