Kaduna generates N1.65bn IGR for June

The Kaduna State Government (KDSG) generated about N1.65 billion as internally generated revenue (IGR) last month (June).
Gov. Nasir El-Rufa’i disclosed this while speaking at a workshop organised by the Kaduna Investment Promotion Agency (KADIPA) on Friday in Kaduna.
He said the workshop was organised to enlighten participants on the need to create mutual relationship with prospective investors in the state.

The governor explained that KADIPA was established as a one-stop shop where officials from different ministries, departments and agencies, (MDAs) were drawn to attend to any investors in the state.
This, he said, was also in a bid to attract major investors to invest in the state.
According to him, his administration had to remove premium on the plots of land given to investors as part of efforts to encourage them.
El-Rufa’i said the decision also became necessary in order to create job opportunities among the teeming unemployed youths across the state.
He, therefore, advised the participants to apply the knowledge they acquired from the training in their different disciplines.
Through it, you would be able to attract investors and also create jobs for the teeming youths in the state, he said.
Earlier in his remarks, Mr Gambo Garba, the Executive Secretary of KADIPA, said the agency had attracted many investors to the state since it was established.
He added that plans were underway to revive all the ailing industries that had been shut down in the state as part of the state government’s efforts to create more jobs.

The exchange rate rebounded on Friday to close at N308 at the official interbank market. The local currency gained about 5.2% reversing the N325 it closed with on Thursday. According to reports, the gains was mostly due to a sale of forex by the Central Bank of Nigeria providing enough liquidity to meet the demand currently in the market. The naira has closed at an all time low of N364 to the dollar on Thursday following a surge in demand. The central bank has been selling dollars almost daily to boost liquidity and support the naira.

How to overcome procrastination: this will help you!!!

And so I came across this write up by Gennaro Cuofano, and I thought it wise to share  I do not understand why procrastination is perceived as a very bad thing. I honestly don’t know about you but thank god I am a procrastinator. If it weren’t so right now I would be a fat smoker and a lonely man. If I am not fat is because most of the time I procrastinate in eating food that is unhealthy for me. If I am not a smoker is because I procrastinate in taking another bad habit, which would make me go out during the night to buy a package of cigarettes. If I am not lonely is because each time I am pissed at someone I procrastinate in f***ing them off. I actually wish I was a better procrastinator. If it were the case I would be a much better person than I am. But I am not and I am working on it to become the world’s top procrastinator! Procrastination is a blessing. We have evolved in an environment with limited resources and our body and mind too is the result of a...

BOOM: Nigeria’s External Reserves Drops To Lowest In 11 Years

Nigeria’s foreign exchange reserve fell to $25,780,765,483 (25.78 billion) as of August 16, the lowest we have seen since 2005. The drop was down 2.11% from a month ago. The Nations external reserves dropped below $26 billion for the first time on the 5th of August 2016 after it closed at about $25,971,610,949. In fact, the external reserves has dropped by about $480 million dollars in August alone compared to just $100 million in the whole of July. Ironically, the current balance of $25.9 billion is worth about 80% more than what it was in Naira following the depreciation of the naira after it was floated. The CBN has in the past few days ramped up sales of dollars at the interbank in the hope that it will create liquidity in a market that is yawning gape to swallow forex after nearly almost two years of intense rationing by the CBN. The Naira weakened to its lowest ever at the interbank after it closed at about N362.5/$1 in midday trading. The Naira will eventua...
