FIRM NEWS
The Nigerian Federal Executive Council, on 28 June 2017 approved a new National Gas Policy (NGP) to replace the 2008 Nigeria Gas Masterplan.
In view of the volatility of crude oil price, it is apt that the NGP sets out quite clearly that the government is making a “gas play” and not an “oil play”. The NGP recognises that Nigeria has more gas reserves than oil. With proven gas reserves of 188 trillion cubic feet (tcf), Nigeria has the 9th largest gas reserve in the world. The NGP aims to move Nigeria from a crude oil export-based economy to a gas-based industrial economy.

- The Future Of Nigerian Banks
The introduction by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) of universal banking in 2000 was a watershed in banking in Nigeria. This altered the banking landscape such that banks were no longer separately classified as commercial and merchant banks. More significant was the fact that the policy on universal banking enabled banks to offer a broader spectrum of financial services including financial advisory, stock broking, insurance, mortgages, retail banking, merchant banking and bureau de change services.
