Stakeholders in Nigeria’s fintech ecosystem have underscored the urgent need for deeper payment integrations to drive financial inclusion and cross-border transactions. This call to action was made at the Nigerian Fintech Week, a premier industry event attended by government officials, fintech leaders, and corporate executives, known for fostering discussions that shape the future of financial technology in Africa and beyond.

Speakers at the event included Aminu Maida, CEO, Nigerian Communications Commission; Wayne Eyong, PalmPay; Mike Odusami, Maxut Consulting; DeRemi Atanda, Managing Director, Remita; Jimoh Ehi Okoh, Solutions Architect, Huawei; and Ugochukwu Onwuta, Senior Product Manager, AZA Finance. As a leading voice in payment technology, Onwuta emphasised the growing need for seamless cross-border payment solutions, highlighting their critical role in global trade.

“Cross-border payments are the lifeblood of international commerce,” Onwuta stated during his address. “The industry is ripe for disruption due to evolving customer expectations, rapid technological advancements, and the push for greater financial inclusion.”

He stressed that financial institutions must prioritise interoperability, ensuring payment systems across different jurisdictions can communicate effectively. “For digital payments to be more reliable and hassle-free, we must move beyond siloed systems and focus on improving existing integrations,” he added.

The Case for Interaction and Collaboration.

During his speech, Onwuta discussed the urgent need for collaboration across payment infrastructures, reinforcing key themes from his recent publications. He advocated for the adoption of unified compliance frameworks to streamline regulatory requirements and enable smoother, more efficient transactions across borders.

His insights resonated with industry professionals, regulators, and technology experts in attendance, all of whom engaged in discussions on regulatory challenges, fintech innovation, and the evolution of digital payments.

“The future of payments will be shaped by collaboration,” Onwuta noted. “New market entrants will challenge incumbents to innovate, fostering a more dynamic and inclusive financial ecosystem.”

Shaping the Future of Fintech

The 7th Nigerian Fintech Week which was held in October 2024 explored strategies for harnessing generative AI, fostering economic inclusion, and shifting from revenue-driven models to sustainable, profitability-focused fintech businesses through smart regulation and innovation.

Onwuta closed his session with a forward-looking statement:

“Achieving true collaboration requires collective commitment from all stakeholders. Only by working together can we build a truly inclusive, efficient, and resilient global financial system—one that serves individuals, businesses, and entire economies alike.”

His thought leadership at the event reinforced his reputation as an influential figure in the fintech space, further cementing his role in shaping the future of global payment technologies.

U.S. stock futures fell sharply on Sunday evening as the Trump administration showed no signs of backing off from a wide-ranging plan to impose tariffs.

Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average were recently down 2.2%, pointing to a decline of more than 800 points at Monday's open, while futures linked to the S&P 500 and Nasdaq fell 2.7% and 3.4%, respectively. Dow futures had been down more than 1,600 points at one point Sunday evening,

The major indexes are coming off their worst week since the early days of the Covid pandemic in March 2020, after stocks plunged on Thursday and Friday following President Trump's announcement of sweeping tariffs on U.S. trading partners. The benchmark S&P 500 declined 10.5% over the last two days of the week, while the Dow shed nearly 4,000 points.

White House officials provided no indication over the weekend that the president would consider scaling back on the tariffs. The so-called reciprocal tariffs that Trump announced on Wednesday— which include new levies of 20% on imports from the European Union, 26% on Japanese imports, and 34% on imports from China—are due to take effect on Wednesday.

The Trump administration, which has also indicated more sector-specific tariffs are coming, says the measures are needed to restore competitive balance and bring manufacturing and jobs back to the U.S. However, the speed and depth of the policies announced in recent weeks—and the prospect that countries will retaliate, as China did on Friday—have heightened concerns among economists and investors that the economy could slide into a recession.

Speaking Friday, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said that the tariffs announced last week were higher than expected and raise the risks both of inflation rising and economic growth slowing. Powell said the Fed is awaiting greater clarity on the impact of Trump's policies before considering adjustments to interest rates.

Asian stocks also tumbled to kick off their week amid fears of the consequences of a trade war, with Hong Kong's Hang Seng index down 9%, while Japan's Nikkei 225 dropped 6% and South Korea's Kospi index and Australia's S&P ASX 200 each fell more than 4%.

Bitcoin was also down sharply Sunday, tracking the move lower in equities as investors abandon risky assets. The digital currency was at $78,700 recently, down from an earlier high on Sunday of nearly $84,000 and trading at its lowest levels since early November.

Crude oil prices also retreated amid the growing concerns about slowing global demand. West Texas Intermediate futures, the U.S. crude oil benchmark, fell 2.6% to $60.40 per barrel, after falling as low as $59.38, their lowest level since last April.

Chief Chukwuemeka Woke, the Director-General, National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency (NOSDRA) has commended Total Energies for its proactive steps towards ensuring effective surveillance and protection of oil facilities. Woke stated this at the Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa, on Tuesday, while inspecting a West African Surveillance Platform (WASP) workshop for Total Energies' personnel.

 WASP, an industry cooperative,  is an oil spill surveillance service for West and Central Africa, providing support such as oil spill consultancy, equipment hire, and wildlife services. The event is part of a four-day Total Upstream Company of Nigeria's 2025 Large Scale Exercise aimed at activating the National Oil Spill Contingency plan.

 The NOSDRA helmsman commended Total Energies for taking steps towards training its personnel on how to ensure adequate surveillance and security of oil facilities. "This gesture is commendable, it will equip your personnel to ensure effective surveillance and protection of oil installations,'' he said.

 He expressed the commitment of NOSDRA towards speedy detection of spill and swift response. "We shall continue to actively collaborate with operators and other stakeholders to ensure effective delivery of our mandate

 "We shall continue to be proactive by ensuring speedy detection where there is spill, and to respond accordingly,'' he said

Wisdom Alfred, widely known as Dr H2O, has appealed to Nigerians for another opportunity after losing a ₦15 million business investment from bottled water brand Aquafina.

Dr H2O rose to fame in 2023 when a video of him creatively hawking bottled water went viral, capturing social media’s attention. Impressed by his determination, Aquafina backed his business with ₦15 million worth of equipment and capital, including machines, a generator, and a freezer valued at ₦8 million.

In a recent video, he admitted to mismanaging the funds due to a lack of experience, explaining that it was his first time handling such a significant amount. Acknowledging his mistakes, he expressed deep regret and asked for forgiveness.

Dr H2O now seeks a second chance, emphasizing that errors are part of the learning process and pledging to do better if given another opportunity.

The National Oil Spill Detection Response Agency (NOSDRA) and Stakeholder Democracy Network (SDN), a non-governmental organization with its headquarters in the United Kingdom have expressed their firm commitment to consolidate on the gains of their ongoing partnership in the interest of clean and sustainable environmental management in Nigeria’s petroleum industry. This assurance was given on Wednesday when the Executive Director of SDN, Adam Heal, and his team paid a courtesy visit to the Director-General/Chief Executive of NOSDRA, Engr. Chukwuemeka Woke, in the Agency’s Headquarters in Abuja.

The DG/CE, who appreciated the congratulatory message from the Executive Director of SDN on his appointment, went down memory lane to recollect the long-standing working relationship with the NGO since 2013, which, he said, led to the support of the organisation in the formulation of the state-of-the-art and innovative tools for tackling pollution in the petroleum industry, including Nigerian Oil Spill Monitor, National Gas Flare Tracker and the inchoate Methane Tracker. Woke acknowledged that the tool shave helped in improving transparency and accountability  in the  oil and gas pollutions industry.

The DG/CE assured that his appointment would add value to NOSDRA and he would not be found wanting in this regard, adding that the Agency was irrevocably committed to sustaining the partnership with SDN in order to improve environmental management in the country’s petroleum industry. Woke hoped the prototype Methane Tracker designed by SDN will vastly contribute to tracking methane emissions in the oil and gas sector.

He stressed that NOSDRA had a clear mandate to ensure a clean and secure environment in the nation’s petroleum industry with the support of the NGO.  While felicitating with SDN on the 20th anniversary of its operation in Nigeria, the DG/CE assured the NGO of NOSDRA’s willingness to support and enhance its works in the country.  Earlier in his address, the Executive Director of SDN disclosed that the organization had been operating in Nigeria for the past 20years, providing monitoring and policy advisory work in Nigeria and economic diversification in the oil-bearing Niger Delta region.

He stated that NOSDRA had been a reliable partner with SDN for over a decade and with such collaborations, his NGO had collaboration with the Agency to develop valuable and innovative geospatial tools viz: Nigerian Oil Spill Monitor and National Gas Flare Tracker, which are being deployed for oil and gas pollution tracking and reporting respectively. He mentioned other areas of support to the Agency to include involvement in the Ogoni   clean-up being handled by Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project (HYPREP) in the area of testing soil and water samples.

Mr. Heal, while commending the DG/CE for his new vision for NOSDRA aimed at catapulting the growth and development of the Agency to new heights, said he was looking forward to more years of fruitful partnership between the two organizations.

The Director General and CEO of the National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency (NOSDRA), Engineer Chukwuemeka Woke has put oil companies on notice, tasking them to comply with environmental regulations or face the full force of the law.

Speaking during a familiarization visit to the Port Harcourt Zonal headquarters in Rivers State on Monday, Woke, while reacting to some of the challenges faced by the Agency in the Zone said as an agency established by Act of law, NOSDRA represents the Federal Government and has a sacred mandate to regulate the oil industry's environmental impact and will not tolerate any form of non-compliance or disregard for regulations.

He added that no oil company is above the law, saying: "We will hold every operator accountable for their actions, and ensure that they adhere to the strictest standards of environmental responsibility."

He assured that his leadership will not be compromised by vested interests or industry pressure, or be cowed, saying he is committed to upholding the law and ensuring that all oil industry operators, including International Oil Companies (IOCs), comply with NOSDRA's regulations.

He said: "Having said that, let me address the issue raised by the head of the NOSDRA reference laboratory, I want to assure you that I am not the kind of DG that any oil company would take for a ride.

"Any oil industry, be it IOCs, or anybody must comply with the regulations of NOSDRA. NOSDRA is not just a private company but an establishment by an Act of law and so we represent the Federal Government and we are to regulate the operations of the oil industry as it relates to oil and gas pollution and spillage and so nobody, no oil company is above the law.

"If they want to think they can reach me, I am not the type of DG that they would reach. So let the message go very clearly now, we must do the needful, they must grant you access to take samples and we must get the results. Be rest assured that you are protected as long as you are committed to your work."

The DG also addressed the staff of the agency and assured them of his commitment to taking the agency to the next level. Engineer Woke was conducted around the office by the Zonal Director, Engineer Ime Ekanem and the head of the NOSDRA reference laboratory, Dr Kenneth Aroh where he visited the Analytical Session Lab; Microbiological lab, Ecotoxicology lab and the Web-Chemistry lab.

He expressed gratitude to the staff for their dedication to work and promised improvements in equipment and staff welfare. "I have come to see things for myself, and I assure you that there will be improvements," he said. "But I need your commitment to work because your productivity output is what I will be appraised with at the Ministry of Environment."

Engineer Woke emphasized that he is the one who will appraise staff performance and determine promotions. "When you come for your promotion exams, I am the one who will say yes or no," he stated. He also reminded staff that outside the agency, he is not the boss, but the Minister of Environment is, saying: "So, it is your work that will speak for me," he added.

Engineer Woke concluded by saying that his "real brothers" are those who are committed to their work, and he looks forward to seeing their productivity. This visit marks Engineer Woke's first visit to any Zonal office since assuming office, and he chose Port Harcourt, his constituency, as his first.

It was tough to tie the fundamentals to the market moves on 30/08/2024 , as is often the case at month end. Tokyo CPI was hot earlier and US PCE was a tad cool and normally that's the recipe for a USD/JPY decline but it was just the opposite as the pair climbed 116 pips in a steady rally that started in Europe and never eased.

That was part of broad bids in the US dollar that were supported somewhat by rising Treasury yields. However the 30 pip decline in the Australian dollar certainly went against the rip in equities.

The Canadian dollar was particularly volatile and rallied initially on a strong GDP number. However the details of that report showed no growth in June and July plus the vast majority of the growth in the quarter was driven by government spending. That led to a rethink, particularly following the drop in oil prices. All told, there were four 30-pip straight line moves in USD/CAD trading to round out a lively month. That will give North Americans plenty to digest over the long weekend.

The euro finishes the month above 1.10, which is a nice victory but a cent-and-a-half from Monday's high of 1.1201. It declined in four of the five days this week in a setback after three weeks of strong gains. Similarly, cable fell for the third consecutive day and showed few signs of life in month end trade.

On net, the US dollar rebound balances the market heading into what's going to be a lively September.

Financial markets can be volatile, and banking stocks, in particular, may be affected by various factors, including economic instability, regulatory changes, and global financial trends. Nigerian bank shares underperforming are a significant concern for investors and the broader economy. Several factors could be contributing to this situation:

1. Economic Challenges

• Inflation and Currency Devaluation: Nigeria has been grappling with high inflation rates and a weakening naira. These factors erode the value of assets and reduce consumer spending power, which can negatively impact banks' profitability.
• Economic Slowdown: Nigeria's economy is heavily reliant on oil exports. Fluctuations in global oil prices, combined with reduced production levels, can lead to economic slowdowns, affecting all sectors, including banking.

2. Regulatory Pressures

• Central Bank Policies: The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) often implements stringent monetary policies, such as higher reserve requirements or interest rate adjustments, which can squeeze banks' margins.
• Regulatory Compliance Costs: Increased regulation, especially around anti-money laundering and capital adequacy, can raise operational costs for banks, reducing their profitability.

3. Sector-Specific Issues

• Rising Non-Performing Loans (NPLs): Economic challenges often lead to higher default rates among borrowers. Banks with significant exposure to bad loans may face reduced earnings or even losses.
• Liquidity Issues: Banks may also face liquidity problems if they are unable to access funding or if they hold significant amounts of illiquid assets.

4. Investor Sentiment

• Lack of Confidence: If investors lose confidence in the banking sector due to any of the above factors, it can lead to a sell-off in bank shares, further driving down prices.
• Global Market Trends: Negative global economic trends or market sentiment can also spill over into Nigerian markets, affecting bank shares.

5. Competition and Innovation

• Fintech Disruption: The rise of Fintech companies offering alternative banking solutions could be eroding traditional banks' market share, impacting their long-term growth prospects.

Potential Implications

• Lower Returns: Investors might see lower returns on their investments in Nigerian banks.
• Capital Flight: Continued underperformance might lead to capital flight, where investors move their money to more stable or profitable markets.
• Banking Sector Consolidation: Smaller or weaker banks might be forced to merge or be acquired to survive in a challenging environment.

Understanding these dynamics is crucial for anyone involved in the market, whether you're an investor, a bank customer, or part of the financial sector.

Many Nigeria Lack Confidence in buying Bank Share or Stock. This  lack of confidence in Nigerian bank shares among investors is a significant issue that can have far-reaching consequences. For Nigerian banks to regain investor confidence, they might need to focus on improving transparency, addressing NPLs, ensuring sound corporate governance, and adapting to changing market conditions, including the rise of Fintech competition. Additionally, consistent and supportive regulatory policies can help create a more stable environment for investment.

My N2.8 Million Banking Stocks Now Worth Less Than Toilet Roll by KnowAl

My N2.8 million banking stock is now worth N300,000 at the last valuation exercise I carried out about 5 months ago, before  I was banned and advised by my doctor to stop such exercise because of the irregular palpitation I get each time I am engrossed in the analysis and permutations.

With the recent sackings and removals of the top dogs in our supposedly capitalised and credit crunch resistant banks,  my already depleted stocks have finally taken that dreaded upper-cut.

Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo

"I would mention banks, there's nothing they can do. I bought for 36 million Naira First Bank at 36 Naira per share, it fell to 12 Naira. I lost that. I went and borrowed 60 million Naira in 2005 or 2006 from Sterling Bank to buy Skye Bank shares, it fell from 14 Naira to 2.50 Naira; washed away. Sterling Bank showed up in our office with 4 policemen to come and collect their money. I had to look for that money within 2-3 months.

The same Skye Bank who loaned me money when we were building a house, showed up in our church. Their risk manager came with about 10 staff to our service. I bought GTB for something like 18 Naira, GTB fell to 3.60 Naira."
