On the sidelines of the 80th United Nations General Assembly, African Business Stories (ABS) marked the one-year anniversary of its flagship Roundtable Series with two milestones: the presentation of its inaugural Africa Champion Award to Benedict Oramah, President and Chairman of the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank), and the launch of its first Impact Report, capturing a year of progress in closing Africa’s $42 billion gender financing gap.

The event opened with special remarks from Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (Florida’s 20th District), who underscored the urgency of shifting from aid to trade in U.S.-Africa relations.

She highlighted new U.S. legislation enabling diaspora remittances to be reinvested as capital and reaffirmed her commitment to the renewal of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA).

‘When women start businesses, they create jobs, change communities, and shift entire economies,’ said Cherfilus-McCormick.

The award was presented by Florie Liser, President and CEO of the Corporate Council on Africa, who praised Prof. Oramah’s transformative leadership in expanding Afreximbank’s assets and guarantees eight-fold, growing revenues sevenfold, and ensuring women, youth, and SMEs have access to trade and capital opportunities.

‘Prof. Oramah embodies the foresight to envision a stronger Africa through trade, the resolve to mobilise billions in capital for transformative initiatives, and the commitment to ensure that women, youth, and SMEs are not left behind,’ said Liser.

In his acceptance remarks, Oramah underscored the importance of narrative ownership and boldness in Africa’s development journey:

‘The problem of Africa is that others have been telling our stories – and telling them in ways that put us down. We must tell our own stories and define African best practices.’

He also called for ambition in mobilising resources at scale:

‘Small projects rarely succeed. If we want to compete globally, Africa must think big and act boldly.’

The ABS Impact Report, unveiled by Founder Akaego Okoye, documents five high-level convenings held across New York, Washington, D.C., and Luanda, Angola over the past year.

The $42 billion funding gap is not just a challenge, it is an opportunity,’ said Akaego Okoye. ‘This first year has proven that when women are seen, connected, and resourced, they don’t just grow businesses – they transform economies. ABS will continue to create the access and partnerships needed to catalyse their success.’

These gatherings brought women founders face-to-face with policymakers, financiers, and global leaders, and laid the groundwork for new access to markets and capital. The report serves both as a record of impact and a roadmap for future action.

Alongside these milestones, the Roundtable featured: A Founders Panel with Ifedayo Agoro (Dang! Lifestyle) and Lesego Serolong-Holzapfel (Moedi Wines), sharing the realities of accessing capital, navigating trade barriers, and scaling globally.

A Public-Private Dialogue with Hajiya Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim (Nigeria’s Minister of Women Affairs) and Cheryl Buss (CEO, Absa International), highlighting how policy frameworks and innovative financial products must align to unlock scale for women entrepreneurs.

The recent nomination of Abdullahi Garba Ramat as Chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has sparked significant debate among energy experts and stakeholders. While many acknowledge the progress NERC has made over the past decade, there are growing concerns that this nomination could destabilise the sector and derail the hard-won gains.

NERC’s Decade of Progress and Institutional Growth

Over the last ten years, NERC has evolved into a critical institution for Nigeria’s power sector. A key achievement has been guiding the sector through significant reforms, culminating in the landmark Electricity Act of 2023. This Act empowered states to generate, transmit, and distribute electricity within their boundaries, moving Nigeria away from a solely centralised model.

NERC has been instrumental in managing this transition, systematically transferring regulatory oversight to states like Ondo, Imo, Enugu, Ekiti, and Oyo that have established their own electricity markets. The commission has actively worked to share its regulatory knowledge, holding multiple engagements with state regulators to ensure a smooth and effective decentralisation process. This institutional maturity and focus on stability is now seen as being at risk.

How an Inexperienced Chairman Could Derail Progress

Experts argue that nominating a chairman with no prior background in the complex Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI) threatens to undo years of progress. The primary risks include:

– Erosion of Investor Confidence: The power sector relies heavily on local and international investment. Adetayo Adegbemle of PowerUp Nigeria warns that the controversial and ‘illegal’ nature of the takeover signals that ‘NERC, the crucial referee, may now be compromised.’ This perception could freeze urgently needed investments in generation and distribution infrastructure, transforming the sector into a ‘politically toxic asset class’.

– Regulatory Instability and Legal Challenges: Any decision made by Ramat before Senate confirmation-whether on tariffs, licenses, or market rules-is vulnerable to being nullified by the courts. This creates immense uncertainty for distribution companies (DisCos) and generation companies (GenCos), potentially halting critical projects and reforms.

– Lack of Sector-Specific Expertise: Stakeholders point out that while Ramat has qualifications in engineering and management, the NERC chairmanship requires deep familiarity with the sector’s unique challenges, such as liquidity crises, tariff setting, and subsidy management. One stakeholder bluntly stated, ‘This is not the right time for NESI to have a student regulator,’ emphasising that the learning curve is too steep for the sector’s current challenges.

Expert Recommendations: A Path Forward

To avert a crisis, experts and consumer advocacy groups propose a logical solution that balances recognition of the President’s prerogative to appoint with the need for sector stability.

The consensus advice is for President Tinubu to reassign Engr. Ramat to a different government department where his skills in strategic management and digital innovation can be better utilised without jeopardising a critical sector. Subsequently, a seasoned professional with direct experience in the power sector should be appointed to lead NERC. This would help restore credibility, assure investors, and ensure that the regulatory framework remains stable and effective.

This approach would allow the new chairman’s academic promise to be applied appropriately while safeguarding the institutional progress NERC has achieved over the past decade.

The federal government has vowed to recover all public funds still lying outside the Treasury Single Account (TSA) and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), as part of efforts to sanitise public finances and boost transparency.

Speaking on Monday night during a dinner on Fiscal Policy at the 31st Nigerian Economic Summit in Abuja, Wale Edun, minister of finance and coordinating minister of the economy, revealed that despite longstanding directives, substantial government funds remain outside the TSA and are not domiciled at the CBN.

‘It is our determination to make sure we bring in every single penny,’ Edun said. ‘There’s federal government money lying outside the TSA, lying outside of the Central Bank, and it requires enforcement, consensus and the right use of technology.’

According to Edun, plugging fiscal leakages and improving public financial management are at the heart of President Bola Tinubu’s reform agenda, which is being implemented in three phases – stabilisation, recovery, and growth.

As part of this effort, Edun disclosed that the federal government implemented a central billing system from October 1, enabling real-time reconciliation of payments, which he described as a ‘game changer’ for revenue collection.

‘Before now, if you paid part of your bill, there was no way to reconcile it. Now, if you pay 20 out of 100, the system tracks the 80 receivable. That’s the difference technology can make,’ he said.

The Minister also made a stunning revelation that until August 1, 2024, the government lacked full visibility into its own finances at the CBN.

‘Despite all the efforts, it took us till August 1 this year to have a situation where we could see the federal government’s accounts at the CBN,’ Edun said. ‘Such is the political economy of bureaucracy and governance.’

This lack of access, he explained, severely constrained planning and monitoring, and was a major barrier to credible public finance reform.However, he added that technology is now enabling a rapid turnaround.

The Tinubu administration’s economic reform agenda has focused on correcting long-standing distortions – particularly the unification of exchange rates and the removal of petrol subsidies – which Edun described as ‘market corrections’ necessary for restoring macroeconomic stability.

‘Confidence has risen and the economy is largely stable at this stage,’ Edun said. ‘The data does not lie. Inflation is easing, the naira is relatively stable, industrial growth is above 7 percent, and agricultural production is on the rise.’

He acknowledged, however, that inflation remains high at around 20 percent and noted that further fiscal and monetary tightening will be needed to bring it under control.

He emphasised that the social cost of reform – especially on the poor – is being addressed through direct cash transfers and social investment programmes.

‘We’ve targeted 15 million households, and 8.1 million have already received direct transfers,’ he said, reiterating President Tinubu’s insistence on a gold-standard system that ensures each beneficiary is biometrically verified and paid digitally.

Edun also touched on expenditure reforms, noting that the government is prioritising capital projects and cutting down on waste.

He revealed that discussions with the National Assembly are ongoing to ensure a timely return to the January-December budget cycle – a key step to restoring budget discipline.

‘We are working with the National Assembly to return to the January-December budget cycle,’ he said. ‘No more extensions of budgets into the next year, which cause dislocation and confusion.’

Edun called for collaboration between the public and private sectors, stressing that sustainable growth and poverty reduction can only be achieved through a combination of innovation, investment, and targeted social support.

‘Nigeria is becoming more and more investment-ready,’ he said. ‘And the evidence is pointing in that direction. What is being rewarded now is innovation and productivity, not privileged access to distortions.’

As part of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s agricultural reform, the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, has distributed inputs and equipment to over 500 smallholder farmers in Edo State.

Abubakar Kyari, minister of Agriculture and Food Security, flagged off the distribution of inputs to farmers on Tuesday in Benin City.

Kyari, represented by Perpetual Iyere-Usiahon, assistant director in the ministry, said the exercise was geared towards encouraging all-around farming activities in the state as well as in the country.

He also said that it was in line with the federal government

policy to boost food security in the country.

He added that it was one of the many programmes and projects rolled out by the ministry to address some of the challenges of farmers and make food available, accessible and affordable to all Nigerians.

According to him, the various inputs for distribution to farmers are part of our efforts in increasing food production and mitigating the food crisis in the country.

The minister posited that one of the ways to address some of the challenges is the facilitation of agro-inputs and basic farm machinery to small-scale farmers, who are constrained by the high market cost of the essential inputs, and also need assistance.

He listed some of the inputs and equipment distributed to the farmers to include knapsack sprayer, growth enhancers, rice destoners, power tillers, as well as cocopeat and bucket.

Kyari explained that the items are distributed to farmers through commodity associations, cooperative groups, farmers with special needs bodies and women groups.

He noted that the distribution was part of the ministry’s programme to increase agricultural production and ensure food security in the country.

He further added that the exercise was the ministry’s policy towards delivering on the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The minister, however, reassured farmers that the federal government has demonstrated total political will to transform the Agricultural sector of our dear country by prioritising food security.

‘Since our assumption of office on 21 August, 2023, we have examined what needs to change and what we need to do to realign existing initiatives and programmes that are on course to be in line with the core mandate of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security.

‘Accordingly, and going forward, we commit to ensuring that all our sectoral programmes and initiatives of the Government in the area are completely aligned to achieve the Presidential priority.

‘To achieve this, the federal and state governments are continually engaged towards addressing all issues affecting national food security.

‘We also remain committed to promoting and creating synergies

with Non-Governmental Organisations and the private sector to enhance efforts at ensuring food security. Economic growth, job creation and poverty reduction.

‘In this respect, the ministry has considered the implementation of short-term plans and support mechanisms to make essential farm inputs more affordable and accessible to farmers through a transparent and accountable process,’ he said.

Earlier in her remarks, Patricia Imade, the Edo State coordinator, Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, noted that with the inputs and equipment, the farmers are empowered to increase their yields, improve their livelihoods and contribute to the nation’s food security.

I described the distribution of farm inputs as a critical component of the ministry’s efforts to boost agricultural productivity and food security

She urged farmers to make optimal use of the inputs and to follow best practices in their farming activities.

She also encouraged them to take advantage of the various support services available to them, including extension services, training, and credit facilities.

The state coordinator, however, appealed to the farmers to work with the ministry to make a meaningful impact on the agricultural sector and contribute to the nation’s food security.

In separate interviews, Omobude Agho and Leon Esebanmen, chairman of EDOCSO Investment Limited and Owan Agrarian Cooperative Limited, commended the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security for the free inputs and equipment.

The duo also appreciated the Edo State Coordinator of the Ministry for her efforts in ensuring that farmers in the state benefited from the federal government programmes.

Nigeria has intensified efforts to promote sustainable construction and reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) scorecard for Sustainable Building Project, a global initiative spearheaded by the World Green Building Council under the Rebuild Our Buildings campaign.

The project, which aims to accelerate climate action in the building sector, is currently being implemented in five countries – Nigeria, Egypt, the Philippines, Brazil, and Colombia. It focuses on decarbonizing buildings and cities while strengthening their resilience to climate impacts.

Speaking at a regional engagement session in Abuja on Tuesday, Danjuma Waniko, president of the Green Building Council of Nigeria (GBCN), explained that the project, which began in August 2024, has already completed four national workshops leading to the development of an Action Plan for Sustainable Buildings.

‘We brought together stakeholders from government, the private sector, finance, academia, civil society, and professional bodies,’ Waniko said.

‘Together, we assessed Nigeria’s built environment, reviewed existing policies, identified gaps, and co-created an action plan with eight strategic objectives.’

Among the key recommendations of the plan, he highlighted the urgent need to strengthen building codes and regulatory frameworks, noting that while Nigeria has numerous policies on paper, enforcement remains weak.

‘It is in the transition from paper to practice that we are lacking,’ he said. ‘We must ensure regulations are implemented and monitored effectively.’

Waniko also emphasized the importance of mobilizing finance to support the transition to a carbon-neutral and resilient built environment. ‘This transition requires money. We need to catalyze investment and unlock more financing for sustainable building,’ he added.

Another major recommendation is the improvement of data collection and research.

According to him, there is limited information on emissions, energy use, and climate impacts in Nigeria’s building sector, making it difficult to design evidence-based interventions.

He also called for pilot and demonstration projects to showcase practical, locally relevant solutions. ‘People often ask, ‘Does it work? Is it fit for purpose?’ We need proofs of concept to show that sustainable solutions are both effective and adaptable to our context,’ he said.

The final and most critical component, Waniko noted, is catalyzing subnational action, since issues of land use, urban planning, and building regulation are constitutionally under state jurisdiction.

‘In Nigeria, the national government cannot dictate building regulations to the states. That is why we are engaging with regional and state authorities to help them operationalize the action plan within their contexts,’ he explained.

Meanwhile, Ahmed Musa Dangiwa, minister of Housing and Urban Development, commended the initiative, describing it as ‘a bold and innovative step’ toward aligning Nigeria’s built environment with sustainability, equity, and climate responsibility.

‘Urban development is not merely about constructing buildings and infrastructure,’ Dangiwa said. ‘It is about building communities, nurturing ecosystems, and creating inclusive spaces where Nigerians, regardless of income, gender, or geography, can thrive.’

Reaffirming Nigeria’s commitment to its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement, the Minister emphasized that the built environment accounts for a significant share of energy use and emissions, making it imperative to transform it into ‘a driver of sustainability.’

‘Sustainability is not a luxury-it is a necessity,’ Dangiwa added. ‘It is an opportunity to create jobs, improve health, reduce poverty, and protect our environment.’

He urged all stakeholders-architects, engineers, planners, policymakers, and community leaders-to embrace the national green building vision with courage and creativity.

‘Let us build not just structures, but legacies. Let us design not just cities, but futures,’ the Minister said. ‘Together, we can make Nigeria’s built environment a beacon of sustainability, resilience, and hope.’

The ongoing regional workshops are part of broader efforts to ensure that state governments take ownership of green building practices, integrate sustainability into urban planning, and align their policies with national and global climate goals.

The Rebuild Our Buildings campaign represents one of the most coordinated global efforts to transform the built environment – a sector that accounts for nearly 40% of global energy-related carbon emissions – into a driver of climate resilience and sustainability.

Super Eagles camp in Polokwane, South Africa, came alive on Tuesday as 18 players reported for duty ahead of Nigeria’s crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Lesotho on Friday.

Head coach Eric Chelle and his backroom staff had arrived earlier on Monday to officially open camp at The Ranch Hotel, with preparations set to intensify ahead of the Group C clash.

The team held its first full training session on Tuesday evening at the Peter Mokaba Stadium, the venue for Friday’s encounter.

Among the early arrivals are captain William Troost-Ekong, Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman, Alex Iwobi, Calvin Bassey, Samuel Chukwueze, Wilfred Ndidi, Moses Simon, Terem Moffi, and Frank Onyeka.

Others who have checked in include Tolu Arokodare, Chrisantus Uche, Semi Ajayi, Bruno Onyemaechi, Stanley Nwabali, Adebayo Adeleye, Amas Obasogie, and Benjamin Frederick.

Meanwhile, Zaidu Sanusi, Alhassan Yusuf Abdullahi, Akor Adams, and Olakunle Olusegun are expected to join the camp in the coming hours.

Nigeria will take on Lesotho in Matchday 9 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying series on Friday, October 10, 2025, at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.

The Super Eagles currently sit third in Group C with 11 points, three behind leaders Benin Republic and South Africa.

A win in Polokwane is crucial to reigniting Nigeria’s qualification hopes for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Nigeria and Argentina are set to renew their rivalry when they clash in a highly anticipated Round of 16 encounter at the FIFA U20 World Cup in Chile on Wednesday.

Both nations boast a rich history of memorable contests across global tournaments, from the FIFA World Cup to the U20 World Cup and the Olympic Games, but memories of Nigeria’s 2-0 victory over Argentina in the Round of 16 at the last edition, hosted by the South Americans two years ago, remain fresh.

Goals from Ibrahim Muhammad and Haliru Sarki sealed that famous win, defying predictions and propelling the Flying Eagles into the quarter-finals, where they eventually bowed out to the Republic of Korea after extra time.

Two decades earlier, the Flying Eagles came close to glory, losing 1-2 to Argentina in the 2005 U20 World Cup Final in the Netherlands, both Argentine goals scored from the spot by Lionel Messi, while Chinedu Ogbuke Obasi netted Nigeria’s consolation.

Argentina remain the tournament’s most successful team with six titles, while Nigeria have finished as runners-up twice (1989 and 2005) and third once (1985). However, the seven-time African champions will head into Wednesday’s clash at the Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Prádanos in Santiago with no sense of inferiority.

Coach Aliyu Zubair’s men have shown strong self-belief, discipline, and resilience throughout the group stage, collecting four points against Saudi Arabia and Colombia.

The Flying Eagles impressed in their draw against the Colombians, striking the bar three times before captain Daniel Bameyi calmly converted a late penalty to secure a vital point.

The federal government said it would soon introduce a Guaranteed Minimum Price for agricultural produce for farmers and undertake large-scale offtake of farm harvests.

Abubakar Kyari, minister of agriculture and food security, who announced this on Tuesday at a breakout session on ‘catalysing Agricultural Transformation: Capital, Innovation and Growth’ at the ongoing Nigeria Economic Summit said the measure aims to protect farmers and consumers amid price volatility.

‘We’re looking at how to balance the citizens’ welfare, and also the farmers welfare’, he said.

The minister explained that the move followed lessons from last year’s food price volatility and hoarding by commodity dealers, which worsened inflation and triggered widespread hunger protests in August. ‘There was a massive hoarding aspect. There was a farmee who said he will not sell his maize until price g gets to N150,000, but today, he’s begging to sell at 30,000″, Kyari said.

He also cited last year’s paddy rice market as an example, when farmers sold at N350,000 per tonne while market prices climbed to N800,000, highlighting inefficiencies between production costs and retail prices. ‘There was clearly a dislocation somewhere,’ he said.

The minister said government interventions also includes a 150-day window to release stored commodities, were among the measures introduced to ease supply shortages.

Kyari also said the government was revamping financing mechanisms for smallholder farmers, who form the bulk of Nigeria’s producers but lack access to capital and modern equipment. He disclosed that President Bola Tinubu had approved the recapitalisation of the Bank of Agriculture, with ?250 million already released to improve access to credit for smallholders.

He said government intends to support smallholder farmers to become largeholder farmers, and is currently developing a national register of smallholder farmers.

The minister added that soil mapping was underway in partnership with private firms to improve fertiliser formulation and crop yields, while decrying the rising cost of fertiliser from about ?35,000 to as high as ?60,000blaming it on supply bottlenecks and limited port capacity.

He also disclosed that the government was collaborating with the Renewable Infrastructure Fund to address logistics constraints and exploring the use of local potash deposits to reduce import dependence.

The minister acknowledged that insecurity, inadequate infrastructure and limited financing remain key barriers to productivity but expressed optimism that the ongoing reforms and investments would strengthen Nigeria’s food system. He informed that Preliminary findings from the 2025 National Agricultural Development (NAD)indicates that the country recorded a higher harvest this year than in 2024 suggesting that Nigeria is on the right trajectory despite ongoing challenges.

At the session, Segun Adaju, an entrepreneur, decried that worsening insecurity has forced many farmers like himself to abandon their farmlands. ‘Bandits are the problem we are tired of paying ransom’, he said.

For Okeke Chukwujekwu, co-founder ocattu Nigeria, noted that infrastructure remains a major problem.He said the lack of access roads to farms is also discouraging young people from engaging in agriculture, and urged greater collaboration among all tiers of government to address the problem.

Aisha Bashir, MD/CEO, Cam diary foods Ltd, lamented the lack of access to finance, including loans from banks which she said has severely affected the survival of her business.

Olapeju Ibekwe, chief executive kfficer of Sterling One Foundation, acknowledged that while insecurity continues to hamper productivity, Nigeria still has enormous potential to expand output. He pointed out that the country has between 35 and 37 million hectares of arable land, compared to the Netherlands’ two million hectares, yet the latter maintains a thriving agricultural industry.

‘As we deal with insecurity, the places we can secure can help quadrupple production’, he said.

Ibekwe further called for the regulation of intermediaries in the commodity market to curb distortions and improve transparency. He warned that without oversight of large-scale buyers, the government would remain reactive, intervening only after market disruptions occur.

‘That area is completely unregulated, and it’s huge area of the ecosystem, otherwise the government will continue to scamper, looking for warehouses to break in’, he said.

At least nine out of every 10 Nigerians will no longer have to pay the Pay as You Earn (PAYE) tax Taiwo Oyedele, the chairman, presidential fiscal policy and tax reform committee has said. He also added that Nigerians will start enjoying benefits of new tax laws, beginning from January 2026.

Oyedele who spoke at the ongoing Nigerian Economic Summit (NES31) in Abuja on Tuesday, said that about 98 percent of the Nigeria’s population will no longer pay the Pay As You Earn (PAYE) tax.

He emphasied that the new tax laws are targeted at protecting the low income earners or those at the poverty line.

‘We cannot tax poverty, about 97 to 98 percent of Nigerians will no longer pay the PAYE, but the 2 percent will pay more as high income earners,’ he said.

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has intensified security operations across Abuja, directed all Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) to raid uncompleted buildings, abandoned structures, and other suspected criminal hideouts in a renewed push to curb insecurity in the nation’s capital.

In a statement on Tuesday, Ajao Adewale, Commissioner of Police, FCT Command, said the directive takes immediate effect as part of measures to prevent criminals from exploiting unguarded or abandoned construction sites as operational bases.

Under the new security order, DPOs are to conduct regular patrols of such areas and apprehend unidentified persons found loitering on construction sites after 6:00 p.m.

The commissioner also mandated the profiling of artisans, labourers, and night guards working at active sites, warning developers to comply before the end of October 2025.

Property developers have been urged to visit the nearest police divisions to ensure all workers and security personnel operating at their sites are properly documented.

According to the command, this measure aims to identify and weed out individuals using construction zones as cover for criminal activity.

Ajao also reaffirmed that scavenging, popularly known as ‘Baban Bola,’ remains banned within the FCT, cautioning residents against allowing scavengers access to their neighbourhoods.

He advised the public to report anyone engaging in scavenging or other suspicious behaviour to the police without delay.

‘Security is a collective responsibility,’ the commissioner stated, urging estate associations, community leaders, and residents to collaborate with security agencies by reporting strange movements and ensuring that domestic staff and security guards are properly profiled by the police.

The statement, signed by Josephine Adeh, FCT Police Public Relations Officer, reiterated the command’s commitment to maintaining safety and order across the territory.

Residents are encouraged to report emergencies or suspicious activities through the following numbers: 08032003913 and 08061581938.
