      By allcitynews.ng  In a fresh move to strengthen women-owned businesses across Nigeria, Access Bank Plc has unveiled an enhanced version of its flagship W Power Loan. The move is offering female entrepreneurs easier access to collateral-free financing, flexible repayment options and business support services designed to accelerate growth. The upgraded facility reflects the bank’s continued commitment to closing the financing gap that has long constrained many women-led enterprises, particularly those seeking capital to expand operations, acquire equipment or improve business efficiency. Speaking on the initiative, the Group Head of Women Banking at Access Bank Plc, Nene Kunle-Ogunlusi, said the enhanced W Power Loan was specifically designed to address the financing challenges women entrepreneurs face, including limited access to affordable credit and stringent collateral requirements. According to her, women-owned businesses remain critical contributors to eco...

  By allcitynews.ng  The Nigeria Revenue Service  says  the new tax system  is better.  As the saying goes, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.We can only judge if something is good, works, or is true _after we have tried it or seen the results_.  Talk and promises are fine, but the real test is in the outcome. The Finance and Business Online Publishers Association (FiBOP) at the weekend looked at the Revenue Service's numbers and how far it has worked at its mandate.  Six months after its repositioning, the Nigeria Revenue Service says its new focus on automation, transparency, and taxpayer service is already yielding tangible results in modernizing tax administration in Nigeria. The Service was mandated to fix long-standing challenges including leakages, low compliance, multiple taxation, and inefficient manual processes. The 6-month scorecard shows steady progress across revenue, technology, and taxpayer experience. It was discovered tha...

  By Owei Lakemfa I did not expect my column ‘When uneducated minds change the education system’ to attract so much reaction. A parent said that in my review of the new education curriculum imposed in September 2025, I did not draw sufficient attention to some facts. The most fundamental, she said, is that government imposed new trade subjects on the approximately 1.8 million SSS3 students taking their final examinations in the 2025/2026 session without their having a foundation or being prepared for the examinations. She complained that these subjects were imposed with immediate effect without teachers trained to teach them. These include Solar Photovoltaic Installation & Maintenance and Computer Hardware and GSM Repairs. She said there were no trained teachers, centres or workshops provided for new subjects like Fashion Design & Garment Making nor demonstration farms for Livestock Farming or Horticulture & Crop Production. The parent complained that the governme...

  By Owei Lakemfa The United States, US Vice President JD Vance, returned home from Switzerland this Monday, June 22, 2026, announcing that the foundations of peace with Iran have been laid. But in reality, there are many obstacles to the peace deal. These include President Donald Trump threatening to level Iran if it again shuts the Strait of Hormuz. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham threatened: “If this deal fails, President Trump is going to take the Strait of Hormuz over by force. The United States will control the Strait of Hormuz, we’ll charge a fee for all those who go through to pay for the operation… And if Iran contests control of the Strait of Hormuz by the United States, we will obliterate them.” There is Israel, which believes the proposed peace deal is a sellout by its American allies and threatens to continue occupying parts of Lebanon even if the peace deal is signed. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu bellowed: “Israel is not opposed to a diplomatic outcome… [b...
