Business, Economy, Metro, News, Social Issues, , ,
Point-of-Sale (PoS) operators across Nigeria are raising concerns over the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) latest regulations for agent banking. They warn that this new policy could threaten small fintech companies and jeopardize millions of livelihoods. The CBN's new directive prohibits PoS agents from working with multiple financial platforms. This means that agents currently collaborating with providers such as Moniepoint, OPay, and PalmPay must choose only one platform to operate under. According to operators, this rule will severely limit business flexibility, stifle competition, and enhance the dominance of a few large players in the market. The Association of Mobile Money…

The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) says Nnamdi Kanu’s health condition does not appear life-threatening. In a ruling on September 26, James Omotosho, presiding judge, had issued an order directing the president of the NMA to constitute an investigative panel to ascertain the defendant’s health status.
