Standard Chartered, GTBank, nine others finance Dangote Refinery.

Guaranty Trust Bank and Standard
Chartered Bank led nine other local and
international commercial banks in the
provision of a loan facility to Dangote
lndustries Ltd to the tune of $3.3billion
for the purpose of constructing the
biggest Petroleum Oil Refinery &
Petrochemical/ Fertilizer Plants in
Nigeria.
This first facility was jointly coordinated
by Standard Chartered Bank as the
global coordinator, and Nigeria's
Guaranty Trust Bank Plc as the local
coordinator.
The plants, which will cost a total of $9
billion will generate up to 9,500 direct
and 25,000 indirect jobs, in addition to
reducing current volumes of refined fuel
imports by around 50 percent and
effectively stopping the importation of
fertilizer.
The US$9 billion project will be financed
by US$3 billion equity and US$6 billion
loan capital. Yesterday's signing
ceremony commits the first tranche of
loans secured by Dangote, comprising a
US$3.3billion term loan facility
supported by a consortium of 12 local
and international banks.
President of Dangote Group, Aliko
Dangote said: "This plant will further
entrench Africa's role on the global map
as not only a valued contributor for
natural resources, but also a competent
manufacturer of refined products and
fertilizer. As a result, several African
nations will be less reliant on importing
fuel and fertilizer from foreign markets,
reducing the negative impact of
negotiating terms within increasingly
turbulent international markets."
In the same vein, CEO of Standard
Chartered Bank in Nigeria, Mrs. Bola
Adesola, added: "Standard Chartered is
proud to support the Dangote Group in a
project which will significantly boost
Nigeria's economic productivity and
create valuable jobs with specialist skills
from key growth sectors.
This project is an historic example of
self-empowerment and leadership for the
continent as a whole – and is made
possible through effective partnerships
between the Nigerian private sector,
Government and international financial
institutions. Standard Chartered remains
committed to being here for good in
Nigeria, and the region. According to Mr
Segun Agbaje, Managing Director,
Guaranty Trust Bank Plc, "This landmark
project reinforces Dangote's
commitment to the development of the
Nigerian economy.

Floyd Mayweather Baby Mama Sues for $20 Mil ... He's a Despicable Liar

Floyd Mayweather could lose tens of millions of dollars from his big payday if his baby mama gets her way ... because she's just filed a lawsuit claiming he ruined her with lies to save his own ass. Josie Harris, who has 3 kids with Floyd, claims he lied through his teeth in an interview with Katie Couric just 2 weeks before the big fight ... when he claimed Josie was in a drug-fueled rage and he had to "restrain" her during their infamous 2010 domestic violence incident. Point of fact ... Floyd was convicted of domestic violence and spent two months in jail. Josie recounts her terror in the lawsuit, explaining how she and Floyd had broken up ... but he flew into a jealous rage that night, broke into her home and viciously attacked her while she was sleeping on her couch ... and her kids saw part of the beating. Harris says she is now labeled a drug addict thanks to Mayweather's lies -- and was embarrassed and humiliated on a global scale. Her lawyer, Dan Friedl...

Google Authenticator, a formidable layer of protection to your account.

Google Authenticator is a free security app that can protect your accounts against password theft. It's easy to set up and can be used in a process called two-factor authentication (2FA) offered on popular social media services like Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. The app ( iOS / Android ) generates a random code used to verify your identity when you're logging into various services. The code can technically be sent to your phone via text message every time— but the Google Authenticator app provides an extra level of security. SMS-based 2FA has a known security flaw , and any devoted hacker can attempt to socially engineer an attack against your phone company. The Google Authenticator app eliminates the possibility of an SMS-based attack using algorithms to generate the codes on your phone. Here's how to set it up: 1. Download Google Authenticator from either the Apple App Store or the Android Google Play store. It's free. 2. Nex...

Are You Treating Your Kids Like Your Career?

And, we see this all the time. Hey,listen I've heard evidence of this phenomenon at the hairdresser, nail salon, at high school softball games, or at the grocery store. Mothers move in closer to each other and start to talk to one other very seriously and very competitively about their kids' achievements, successes, activities but certainly not about their disappointments, feelings, or emotional concerns. Nope, those topics are reserved for the night when those parents are alone with both the darkness of the night and their concerns. Now these are kids they are talking about, not careers. I'll tell you though that it sounds a whole lot like they are talking about jobs and job advancement. And, these kids who are their current careers, in my opinion, are at risk to become highly anxious and stressed as they struggle not to let their parents down. Don't kid yourself parents — your kids are desperately afraid of failing you. Want to figure out if your child has beco...
