Nigeria’s Economic Handlers Must Buck Up: A Wake-Up Call

post-image

 

The recent announcement by Holcim to exit the Nigerian market after a 65-year presence is a stark reminder of the deteriorating economic climate in the country. This departure, coupled with the ongoing exodus of other multinational corporations, demands urgent attention and decisive action from Nigeria’s economic handlers.

John Paul Emechebe, Head of On-Premise at Red Bull, aptly highlighted the gravity of the situation. The combination of unfavorable economic policies, infrastructure deficiencies, regulatory hurdles, and security concerns has created a hostile environment for businesses, both domestic and foreign.

It’s imperative for the government to recognize that these challenges are not isolated incidents but systemic issues that require a comprehensive and coordinated approach. To stem the tide of corporate departures and attract much-needed foreign direct investment, the following measures must be implemented:

Pixel-perfect precision: Protecting today’s digital workforce’s visual health

post-image

For modern professionals who spend long hours focused on intricate digital tasks, maintaining eye health and comfort is critical. Yet many unknowingly put excessive visual strain on their eyes by working on cramped, low-resolution displays ill-equipped for detail-intensive applications.

 

This can have serious ramifications for both employee well-being and work quality. “Basic laptop screens and small desktop monitors simply don’t provide enough screen real estate or visual fidelity for precision tasks like coding, video editing or complex design work,” explains Tyrone Young, Head of Sales for Information Display and Information Technology, at LG Electronics South Africa.

When working on minuscule user interface elements, typography or intricately layered assets, visual acuity becomes very important. “Inadequate screen size or resolution can lead to excessive squinting and an uncomfortable viewing experience as users struggle to see fine details.”

This chronic eye fatigue can quickly drain productivity and open the door to more severe visual issues…

Imo and Abia Must Wake Up: The Urgent Need to Boost IGR for Development

post-image

 

The recent Value Added Tax (VAT) contributions and allocations for South-East states from January to October 2024 have exposed a deeply troubling reality. While other states in the region, such as Anambra, Ebonyi, and Enugu, are making significant strides in generating revenue, Imo and Abia—both oil-producing states—are failing to live up to their potential.

Here’s a quick look at the VAT numbers:

Anambra: Contributed ₦40.13 billion, received ₦63.35 billion (157.9%).

Ebonyi: Contributed ₦21.98 billion, received ₦49.97 billion (227.3%).

Enugu: Contributed ₦12.99 billion, received ₦54.76 billion (421.4%).

Abia: Contributed just ₦6.50 billion, received ₦51.59 billion (793.1%).

Imo: Contributed a paltry ₦3.33 billion, yet received ₦57.22 billion (1,715.9%).

Imo and Abia, both blessed with abundant natural resources, are lagging embarrassingly behind in revenue generation. Despite their oil-producing status, these states seem to be content with their reliance on federal allocations while failing to harness the economic potential within their borders.

In a statement released to the media, Obi referenced recent findings by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), which highlighted how corruption has crippled Nigeria economically and socially. He also cited the nation’s low ranking of 145 out of 180 on the Corruption Perception Index and its classification among the 11 worst-governed African countries over the past decade.

“From lack of transparency in budgeting and allocation of funds to the misappropriation of public resources, corruption manifests in various ways across different levels of government,” Obi said. He noted specific issues such as budget padding, contract inflation,…
