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.

SEC to end issuance of e-dividend warrant by June 2017

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), has directed all registrars operating in the Nigerian capital market to end the issuance of e-dividend warrant to investors by June 31, 2017. This, according to the commission, will compel retail investors to embrace the exercise and stem the rising unclaimed dividend in the capital market, which is currently put at N80 billion.

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.
