Dangote Refinery IPO and Matters Arising -By Edwin Uhara

Bonds

I have studied most of the advert materials concerning the Dangote Petroleum Refinery Initial Public Offering and I have discovered that most of the message focused more on getting investors to buy the company’s shares without disclosing some relevant information that will guide and forearm investors before making their investment decisions. Of cause, Dangote is a big brand and anybody investigating in the company is bound to be reaping dividends every year but the Nigerian capital market operates on some rules which must be observed irrespective of how much money you want to invest. As a result, the era of issuing share certificate to investors is gone because the practice has been replaced with the Central Securities Clearing System Number known as CSCS Account. However, CSCS account is an electronic depository account managed by the Central Securities Clearing System which maintains shares, bonds and other financial securities in digital form within the Nigerian capital market. In other words, your CSCS Account is where any number of shares you buy from the Dangote Petroleum Refinery IPO would be lodged.

Peter Obi I Campaigned For Is Different from Who He Is Now – Kenneth Okonkwo

Bonds

African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain Kenneth Okonkwo has said the Peter Obi he campaigned for in 2023 is different from the man he sees today, admitting he was misled when he previously defended the former Anambra State governor’s financial record in office. Okonkwo, who served as spokesperson for Obi’s Labour Party presidential campaign, made the remarks while speaking on TVC’s Sunday Politics programme. He explained that he can no longer stand by the claims he made about Obi three years ago.“I cannot say the same thing that I said about Peter Obi in 2023,” Okonkwo stated. He recalled telling Nigerians that Obi left Anambra State without outstanding debts, unpaid salaries, pensions or gratuities. Those assertions, he said, were based on the information available to him at the time.Fresh disclosures by the Anambra State Government have changed his position. The state claims eight external financing facilities linked to projects during Obi’s tenure had a combined contracted value of $123.77 million, with $92.35 million still outstanding as of June 30, 2026.

Government Doesn’t Exist to Save Money, Earn Interest – Anambra Govt Tackles Peter Obi

Bonds

The Anambra government says Peter Obi, the former governor, prioritised savings in banks when the state was grappling with poverty, insecurity and major infrastructure deficits during his eight-year tenure. In a statement issued on Saturday, Law Mefor, commissioner for information and value reorientation, also accused Obi, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, of concealing his administration’s debts in the handover note when he left office in 2014. The latest statement escalates the heated exchange between the Anambra state government and Obi over disputed loans and other financial obligations allegedly left behind by his administration. The state government has repeatedly said Obi left $123.77 million in debt at the end of his tenure, and that the loans were obtained for projects, including malaria control, education, healthcare, erosion management, community development, and value chain development. But Obi has consistently denied the claim, maintaining that he left more than $150 million in Anambra’s treasury at the end of his tenure.

Even If I Left $123.7m Debt, I Left Over $150m to Cover It – Peter Obi

Bonds

Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has insisted that he left no debt when his tenure as governor of Anambra ended. Obi, who left office in 2014 after serving two terms, spoke on Thursday during an interview on Arise News, while responding to claims that he left office with outstanding loans and liabilities. The Anambra government, through Law Mefor, commissioner for information and value reorientation, had said Obi left $123.77 million in debt at the end of his tenure. Mefor said the loans were obtained for projects, including malaria control, education, healthcare, erosion management, community development, and value chain development. ‘I DIDN’T LEAVE DEBT’ The NDC presidential candidate said the funds being described as debts were not loans he personally obtained from banks. “I told you these are not loans. I didn’t go to the bank,” Obi said. “As at the time I left office, the dollar components of my savings invested in various bonds were over $150 million, which gives Anambra state guaranteed income of about $10 million yearly. “Let me assume the worst-case scenario — which is false — that there was $123.7 million owed as of the time I left.
