Top 10 Newspaper Headlines Sunday, April 24 2022

Good morning! Here is today’s summary from Major Newspapers in Nigeria

Punch Newspaper

1. Fuel subsidy more beneficial to rich Nigerians – Financial expert

In this interview with NIKE POPOOLAthe Executive Director, Cordros Capital, Femi Ademola, speaks on investment decisions, fuel subsidy and foreign direct investments into Nigeria

Many low-income earners usually look for investment areas where they can get huge returns in a short time. Is this realistic?

What I have noticed with low-income earners is they are looking to invest small amounts of money and earn big returns. It is ludicrous to expect that I will be looking for huge returns and safety at the same time. Your preoccupation should be, what do I want? Is it safety of your money or huge returns? If you put your money in a safe investment, you may not get huge returns from it.

That is why when you go to the bank to put your money in a fixed deposit, because the bank must give you your money back when you ask for it, the rate will not be so high. If you are looking for the one that will double your money in three months, then you have to go somewhere else. That is why some people lose a lot of money because those that promised them such huge returns have collected billions of monies and disappeared because the promised returns are not feasible.

2. Debt servicing: Nigeria paid $598.59m to World Bank, China in 2021 – Report

Nigeria spent $598.59m on servicing the debts owed to the World Bank and the Exim Bank of China in 2021, according to an analysis of data on actual external debt service payments from the Debt Management Office.

The country paid the World Bank a total of $390.92m, which included $384.28m to the International Development Association and $6.46m to the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development.

A total of $207.67m was paid to the Exim Bank of China, for different projects for which loans were taken.

The Federal Government had sought loan facilities from Chinese lenders to implement several infrastructural projects.

In a new document titled ‘status of Chinese loans as of September 30, 2021’ published last week, the DMO disclosed that 15 projects were funded with the acquired loans

3. Sanctions may cripple Russia’s multibillion-dollar crypto industry – Experts

Sanctions imposed on Russia over the country’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine could hamper the growth of its multibillion-dollar crypto sector, according to experts.

Recently, the United States officials targeted Russian bitcoin mining firm BitRiver in its latest round of sanctions aimed at hurting Russia’s economy.

The Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control says it is concerned Russia may monetise its vast oil reserves and other natural resources for power-intensive crypto mining as a way to raise funds and get around Western sanctions.

According to CNBC, vice president of policy and regulatory affairs at crypto compliance firm Elliptic, David Carlisle, said, “This is a powerful signal from OFAC that it will use every tool in its arsenal to prevent Russia from evading sanctions through crypto.”

6. Atiku not part of northern consensus arrangement — Dokpesi

Former Vice President and leading presidential aspirant, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has said that he was never a party to the northern consensus arrangement.

The Technical Committee for the Actualization of Atiku Abubakar’s Presidency in 2023, in a statement by its chairman, High Chief Raymond Dokpesi, said the former VP did not subject himself to any purported consensus process and thus not bound by any of the recommendations and conclusions of the report.

“As an avowed nationalist, Waziri Atiku Abubakar strongly believes that Nigeria has never been as divided as it is today.

“He strongly believes that any ‘consensus’ arrangement premised on any regional, zonal, ethno-religious, and/or sectional gang-up will further deepen and widen this divide, and worsen the wounds that urgently need to be healed.
