Re: Unfounded Allegations of Illicit Forex Dealings Involving Group

Our attention has been brought to various false allegations published against BUA Group on some online platforms. BUA Group categorically refutes the baseless allegations of illicit forex dealings with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) from January to March 2016. These accusations, propagated online by Mr. Desmond Ike-Chima and Mr. Oliver Fejiro of ENigeria News and SecretReporters respectively, are false and entirely unfounded. These individuals, known for their involvement in cyberstalking, blackmail, and defamation, have faced previous arrests (see news reports attached) for such misconduct, casting a dark shadow over their credibility. We emphatically state that neither BUA Group nor the Chairman of the Group, Abdul Samad Rabiu, received any of the alleged foreign exchange allocations from the CBN during the indicated period. This fact is corroborated by the CBN and the respective banks. Furthermore, in compliance with CBN’s regulations, all forex transactions by banks during 2016,...

Tinubu's Presidency Would Bring Good Opportunities To Nigeria-Prophet Ikuru

Prophet Godwin Ikuru, the General Overseer of Foundation of Jehovah High Salvation Ministry, Akowonjo, Lagos State has condemned the every Monday sit-at-home called by the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in the South East, saying that the issue is a demonic affliction in Igboland and that it now requires spiritual warfare for peace to reign in the land. Ikuru, who predicted victory for President Bola Tinubu long before the 2023 presidential election was held, urged the Igbos to cooperate with the current government, adding that the emergence of Tinubu as the new Chairman of the Economic Community of West Africa (ECOWAS) is a good development for the country. He also said that Tinubu's Presidency would bring good opportunities to Nigeria. The respected cleric then called on President Tinubu to call a unity conference, and urged the South Easterners to put the elections behind them and see the whole thing as the work of God.  Speaking further on the Monday sit-at-home d...

We should foster collaborations between the government, private sector, and relevant industry stakeholders to jointly promote and develop Nigeria’s tourism industry. Also, we have to seek partnerships with international organisations and institutions to exchange knowledge, expertise, and investments in the creative sectors.

Enhance and expand existing accommodation options, such as hotels, resorts, and guesthouses, to cater to the growing number of tourists. Promoting Film Tourism We can establish fi...
