 Atiku pledges scholarship to viral Niger teen miner Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Sunday said his “heart breaks” each time he watches a viral video of a teenage artisanal miner, Yusuf Aliyu, speaking at a mining site in Niger State after the deaths of 37 miners in the state. Atiku, in a statement posted on his X handle, said he was prepared to support the boy’s education, describing him as a child whose intelligence and confidence should be nurtured in a classroom rather than by working at a mining site. “I have watched Yusuf Aliyu’s video repeatedly, and each time, my heart breaks. A child with such intelligence, clarity and confidence should be in a classroom building his future—not struggling for survival in a community surrounded by gold but buried in poverty. “I cannot look at him and see an ‘illegal miner.’ I see a Nigerian child failed by the country that should have protected him.

 CBN Revokes Operating Licenses of Aso Savings and Loans Plc and Union Homes Savings and Loans Plc


The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has revoked the operational licenses of two primary mortgage banks, Aso Savings and Loans Plc and Union Homes Savings and Loans Plc, citing multiple regulatory violations and financial distress.


In a press release issued today, the CBN stated that the action was taken under Section 12 of the Banks and Other Financial Institutions Act (BOFIA) 2020 and Section 7.3 of the Revised Guidelines for Mortgage Banks in Nigeria. The move is part of broader efforts to reposition the mortgage sub-sector and enforce compliance with laws and regulations.


The affected institutions were found to have breached various provisions, including:


- Failure to meet the minimum paid-up share capital requirement for their license category.

- Having insufficient assets to cover liabilities.

- Being critically undercapitalized, with capital adequacy ratios below the CBN's prudential minimum.

- Non-compliance with several directives and obligations imposed by the regulator.


The statement, signed by **Hakama Sidi Ali (Mrs.), Acting Director, Corporate Communications**, emphasized: "The CBN remains committed to its core mandate of ensuring financial system stability."


These two institutions have faced longstanding challenges, including past complaints from depositors, allegations of corporate governance issues, and delisting from the Nigerian Exchange (NGX) in 2024 due to failure to submit audited accounts for over six years.


The revocation means both banks can no longer operate as licensed financial institutions. Depositors and stakeholders are advised to monitor further announcements from the CBN or the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) regarding potential liquidation or resolution processes.
