The Economist unveils The World Ahead 2024 with a spotlight on West Africa
At a well-attended event on April 25, The Economist unveiled the 2024 edition of its annual future-focused publication, The World Ahead, with a spotlight on Nigeria and West Africa. “As one of the world’s fastest-growing regions, West Africa is primed for expansion, with forecasts, edging up from 3.2% in 2023 to 4% GDP this year. Capitalising on rapid population growth, a youthful demographic, and an expanding middle class, most West African economies are poised to exceed the 4% growth mark,” the British magazine wrote. The forecast comes after the IMF projected Nigeria will lose its place as Africa’s third-largest economy in 2024 to Algeria after a decade of slow growth, inflationary pressures, and naira depreciation. Lagos State governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who was represented at the launch event by his special adviser on sustainable development goals Oreoluwa Finnih, described The World Ahead 2024 publication as “a call to action” for policymakers and the government. “While we are encouraged by the positive growth progressions for Africa, West Africa, and Nigeria in the forecast for 2024, we understand all of these would not just happen but are predicated on our continuous commitment to sustaining ongoing reforms,” he said. In a fireside chat, John G. Counmantaros, Chairman of Flour Mills of Nigeria, the country’s biggest miller, spoke about the company’s strategy in navigating Nigeria’s market at a time when consumer groups and multinationals are exiting the country due to naira devaluation and foreign exchange shortage. “If you are importing everything you do, then you are at risk of disruptions. The Nigerian market is growing, so it’s important to have a diversified local content and supply chain,” he said. The World Ahead 2024 publication also features opinion pieces from notable persons including Nigeria’s minister of communications, innovation, and digital economy, Bosun Tijani who wrote about the transformative power of digital innovation in Nigeria’s economic growth, highlighting the efforts of his ministry to build a “strong digital economy.”

In reality, very few companies actually attain profitability with just 18% of companies attaining profitability in three years, and 40% by Year 5. In fact, some of the world’s biggest companies including Boeing and Credit Suisse still struggle with profitability. This is why Swvl’s sharp turn towards profitability is rather interesting. Just 18 months ago, the Dubai-born mobility startup was facing the threat of being delisted from NASDAQ for failing to comply with listing rules. In H1 2022, it made $40.7 million in revenue but lost over $161.6 million. After its initial public offering (IPO) in April 2022, its shares dropped by 99%, and its valuation from $1.5 billion to just over $6 million. It also reversed a $40 million acquisition of Turkish startup Volt Lines as it struggled to find cash. It ended 2022 with a net loss of $123.6 million. A year later though, the company’s fortune has changed as its financial report boasts a $3.1 net million profit. Swvl increased its gross profit more than eightfold to $4.1 million from $0.5 million in 2022. It also posted an operating profit of $12.1 million, compared to an operating loss of $80.2 million in 2022. How did Swvl swivel around? Dig deeper here.

We’ve found some insights into how they work, and we’d love to share them with you. Dive in right away here. Banking FCMB seeks approval for ₦150 billion raise Nigeria’s apex bank, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), recently changed capital requirements for different bank tiers. Capital requirements are the minimum amount of money banks must have on hand. Per the CBN, the new capital requirement—₦10 billion ($7.6 million) for smaller banks, to ₦500 billion ($380 million) for banks with international operations—aims to protect Nigeria’s economy from global shocks and help achieve President Tinubu’s goal of a trillion-dollar economy by 2030. FMCB, a Nigerian tier-2 bank, is the latest bank in the country racing to meet the new requirements. The bank has sought shareholder approval to raise ₦150 billion ($107.4 million). FCMB will raise new capital by issuing new ordinary shares, preference shares, convertible notes, bonds, and other instruments. FCMB, being a tier-2 bank, has a target of ₦200 billion ($143.2 million). The bank also notes that it will explore other options to meet the capital requirements, including issuing shares to investors in the Nigerian and international capital market and increasing the company’s share capital “to an amount sufficient to enable it to meet the statutory minimum capital requirement as may be necessary.” The big picture: FCMB is not alone in the search for new funds. Since the CBN announced the new capital requirement, four other banks—Access Bank, GT Bank, and First Bank—have been in the market for fresh funds. This is not the first time that Nigeria’s apex bank has set new capital requirements. In 2005, the CBN upped the minimum capital requirement for banks from ₦2 billion to ₦25 billion, triggering mergers and acquisitions and reducing the number of banks to 25, down from 89. While the CBN has set a hard stop of April 30 for banks to announce fundraising plans, this report suggests that 17 of Nigeria’s 24 banks might not meet the new capital requirements.

Telecoms Telecom Namibia employs debt-collection agencies to pursue loan defaulters In 2023, Kenya’s Hustler Fund reported that it had KES3 billion ($22.7 million) in defaulted loans. The government-owned project says it lent 20 million Kenyans about KES33 billion ($295 million), and while several Kenyans repaid their loans, almost a million of the borrowers—about 800,000 defaulted. The Kenyan government’s solution to this debt problem is to block the defaulters from accessing any more loans, but over in Southern Africa, Namibia’s national telecoms service has found another way for its similar issue with debt collection agencies. The news: Telecom Namibia, a government-owned telecommunications service provider is taking action to collect overdue payments from its customers with debt collection agencies. The telecoms company has customers with unpaid bills and is now partnering with three debt collection agencies—RedForce, Muadifam, and Revenue Solutions—to get its monies back. It’s unclear, at this stage, how much borrowers owe the telecoms but it’s enough to warrant third-party agents. These agencies will be responsible for recovering outstanding money owed to Telecom Namibia, in respect of accounts that are overdue for recurring telecom charges and TN mobile data bundles. Does the end justify the means? One of the agencies, RedForce, is a popular debt-collection agency for the Namibian government having reportedly recovered $1 billion for 10 local authorities since its establishment in 2014. It

FCMB will seek shareholder approval at a general meeting to raise ₦150 billion in new capital by selling stocks or bonds. The new capital will help the bank meet new recapitalisation requirements set by the Central Bank. The requirements, which increase capitalisation limits tenfold, have led to a flurry of announcements by Access Holdings, GTCO, Stanbic IBTC, First Bank Plc, and UBA about their intentions to raise additional capital. FCMB, like its peers in the tier 2 banking category, has a target of ₦200 billion. The bank said in a filing on the Nigerian Exchange on Wednesday that it will exploit different options for the raise. Among those options include issuing shares to investors in the Nigerian and international capital markets. The price of the shares will be determined through book-building or any other acceptable valuation method or combination of methods. The financial institution will also explore the option of further increasing the share capital of the company “to an amount sufficient to enable it to meet the statutory minimum capital requirement as may be necessary.” FCMB’s shares closed at N7 on the Nigerian Exchange, and its market capitalisation was N140 billion as of Wednesday, May 1, 2024.

VALR, the South Africa’s largest crypto exchange by transaction volume, has applied for crypto operating licenses in Dubai and Mauritius. The exchange also acquired an authorisation to trade virtual assets in Poland since September 2022. VALR was founded in 2018 claims to service over 600,000 retail customers and over 1,000 institutional customers across South Africa and globally. Last week, the exchange was one of the 75 recipients of South Africa’s first-ever crypto licenses. Breaking: South Africa grants crypto licences to Luno, VALR and 73 other companies The exchange’s licensing forms part of its global expansion strategy which has encountered significant obstacles in the past. VALR had to shut down operations in Zambia due to banking challenges. The exchange also had to put brakes on its India, Kenya and Nigeria expansion plans, citing regulatory challenges. According to Blake Player, head of growth at VALR, the licenses in Dubai and Mauritius will allow the company to continue pursuing its expansion strategy. “We are open to pursuing global opportunities and will be exploring several markets outside SA in the near future,” Player told TechCabal. VALR announced a $50 million Series B in March 2022 at a valuation of $240 million. The round was led by Pantera Capital and sought to enable the exchange’s expansion across Africa and into other emerging markets including India.
Read MoreNASDAQ-listed Swvl continues profitability streak with $3.1m net profit in 2023
Swvl, the NASDAQ-listed mobility startup that transitioned into a B2B company last year, posted its first full-year net profit in 2023, continuing its reversal of fortune from struggling to a profitable business. The Dubai-born company posted a net profit of $3.1 million last year, a turnaround from a net loss of $123.6 million in 2022, according to its latest financial report. Swvl increased its gross profit more than eightfold to $4.1 million from $0.5 million in 2022. It also posted an operating profit of $12.1 million, compared to an operating loss of $80.2 million in 2022. “Our focus today remains towards improving profitability while resuming our high-paced growth,” said Mostafa Kandil, the company’s CEO. For Swvl, which has endured a turbulent life as a publicly traded company, profitability is critical to support its planned expansion into “high-revenue markets.” The company will expand its strategic partnerships into more Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, Kandil said. It currently operates in three countries: Egypt (its biggest market), Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Since 2022, Swvl has made financial changes by reversing its previous acquisitions to reverse its fortunes after its share price of $10 dropped 90%, earning multiple threats of delisting from the NASDAQ. A reverse stock split in January 2022 saw the company’s share price jump to $4 per share, but it quickly fell again. Its share price has gained over 90% in the past year up from $1.21 as of May 1, 2023. It stands at $13.70 at the time of this report. While Swvl achieved profitability off the back of the sale of its subsidiaries and focus on three markets, the mobility company’s revenue took a hit in 2023. Its revenue dropped 48% to $22.8 million, compared to $44.1 million in the previous year. The company’s cost of sales also dropped 57% to $18.7 million compared to the previous year. Swvl generates most of its revenue from selling technology clients use to plan their routes, operate fleet services, or even manage riders. The rest of its revenue is from operating buses. One big positive in Swvl’s report was that it reduced its losses for the first time in recent years. This is significant if the company wants to remain profitable. Its negative cash flow dropped 83.3% to $9.1 million in 2023, compared to the previous year. The company has laid off staff and dissolved subsidiaries in many countries including Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Germany, and Pakistan, by either shutting down or selling its stake in those subsidiaries. These decisions have helped the company alleviate its business pressures. The company’s total assets stand at $21.9 million, a 61.8% reduction year-on-year, while its total liabilities dropped 71% to $15.9 million.

In today’s edition Nigeria stops MultiChoice from increasing subscription fees KYC regulations drags MTN’s MoMo subscriptions down Twiga appoints new CEO BuuPass acquires QuickBus The World Wide Web3 Opportunities Streaming Nigeria stops MultiChoice from increasing subscription fees Across Africa, DStv subscription fees are increasing faster than several exchange rates. In April 2023, MultiChoice increased fees for its DStv and GOtv bouquets by 4.8% across several countries. By November 2023, it announced another 18% price hike in Nigeria, and its southern Africa countries. According to the company, the hikes were inescapable as the cost of its business operations kept rising with inflation. Three price hikes in one year: In the early hours of April 24, Multichoice announced a 25% increment to its customers, which was scheduled to take effect from today, May 1. But Nigeria has had enough of the hikes: The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), the agency saddled with the function of promoting fair, efficient and competitive markets in Nigeria, and the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) and the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has started investigating the reason for the hike in price. This investigation comes after a petitioner sued MultiChoice for the price hikes and sought an injunction barring the company from increasing its prices. A three-member Competition and Consumer Protection Tribunal (CCPT), which heard the petition, delivered a ruling on Monday restraining MultiChoice from increasing its tariffs and cost of products and services scheduled to begin on May 1. The tribunal also ordered that the injunction remain in effect until a final decision is made on the case. All parties in the lawsuit are required to appear in court on May 7th, 2024 at 10:00 am to discuss the case further. Nigerians react: The increment riled Nigerians up across social media with some netizens advising others to abandon the pay TV. An X user, TheMahleek, tweeted, “DSTV premium subscription don pass a minimum wage. Na to dey watch EPL from WhatsApp status.” Another X user, OlamideOfficial said, “Someone needs to explain to me like a 2-year-old why DSTV keeps increasing their subscription packages”. MultiChoice has its reasons: In a four-page letter submitted to the FCCPC, MultiChoice may have answered OlamideOfficial’s question, detailing the reasons for the price hikes in their cable services. Adamu Abdullahi, acting executive vice chairman of FCCPC revealed in an interview with Channels Television that the company cited the cost of electricity, generator operations and the cost of dollars for some spare parts are some of the reasons for the price increase. He continued in the interview saying the FCCPC suspects the company may be abusing their market position by engaging in unfair practices. Abdullahi explained that limited consumer choice in the market allows this company to potentially act with impunity. “If the FCCPC confirms these suspicions, they will take legal action as mandated by their authority,” he said. The whole country will now wait for the tribunal’s final judgement to see if the hike will be effected.

Telecoms KYC regulation affects MTN MoMo revenues KYC—short for know your customer—regulation has been a major taking point amongst Nigerian fintech. Neobanks across the country have been heavily criticised for having lax KYC measures. Former regulation by the CBN allowed people to register with neobanks without providing any form of identification—NIN and BVN. Bad actors soon began exploring this loophole to transfer fraud proceeds into such accounts. The CBN soon caught up with this trick and revised its regulation to only allow for the opening of accounts linked with proper identifications. Users have had to adjust to this transition as the once easy-to-open neobanks now require stringent account opening processes. This, in turn, has affected the growth and user count of fintechs and MTN’s fintech arm—MTN MoMo—was not left out. The news: In its latest financial report, the telecom stated that “KYC requirements and the delays in CBN approvals for some of our commercial initiatives impacted the growth of active wallets.” MTN’s fintech arm closed the first quarter with 4.8 million active wallet users, reflecting a decrease of 566,000 compared to the previous quarter. Similarly, the number of MoMo agents declined by 94,000. It was not all gloom as the fintech added over 75,000 new merchants in Q1, pushing the total number of merchants within its ecosystem to more than 400,000. Zoom out: MTN’s financials also revealed that the company made more money via data revenue than it did with voice. Data revenue grew by more than 50%, while voice revenues grew by 14.9%. The telecom made ₦318.9 billion ($228 million) and ₦349.5 billion ($251 million) on voice and data respectively.

JAMB results 2024 errors and solutions
The SMS option is currently the only working UTME result channel for checking the JAMB 2024 scores. But the JAMB portal will also be updated soon for candidates to access their results and also print them. Technical difficulties or other issues may happen when you’re trying to check your JAMB 2024 results. Here’s a breakdown of common errors JAMB candidates might face and how to overcome them: 1. “Unable to Find Your Results” Error on JAMB Portal This error typically indicates an incorrect registration number or a mismatch between the details entered and those on JAMB’s database. Solution Double-check your registration number: Ensure you’re entering the exact 10-digit number provided during registration. Verify details: Make sure you’re on the correct website and entering your details accurately. 2. “The Results checking website is down” Error on JAMB Portal High traffic during peak result release times can overwhelm the JAMB website, causing temporary outages. Solution Be patient: Try again later after the initial rush subsides. Check alternative platforms: JAMB also releases result through SMS. Explore this option too. 3. “Under Investigation” Message from JAMB While uncommon, JAMB might take slightly longer to process results for some candidates due to verification processes. Solution Wait for some time: JAMB will typically notify candidates through their registered email or SMS once the processing is complete. Contact JAMB support (optional): If the delay seems unreasonable, you may contact JAMB support through their official channels for further information. 4. “Invalid Login Credentials” Error An “Invalid Login Credentials” error might occur due to incorrect phone numbers or passwords. Solution Verify your phone number: Ensure you’re using the same phone number registered with JAMB. Check your password: Make sure you’re entering the correct password associated with your phone number for accessing the SMS service. 5. “Insufficient Balance” Error (SMS Platform) Depending on your mobile network provider, checking your JAMB results 2024 via SMS might require a specific balance. Solution to this JAMB results issue Top up your phone: Ensure you have enough credit on your phone to receive the SMS containing your results. Contact your mobile network provider for details on SMS charges. 6. No Response from SMS This is a situation that occurs after using the SMS option to check your UTME results, and you receive no response and yet get debited for using the service. Solution to this issue Verify the phone number you are using to send the SMS: Only the number you used in registering for JAMB can be used to access the SMS result checking. So if you are using another number, you may not receive and response. Exercise patience: If you are sure you are using the number you registered JAMB with, then just excercise a little patience. Network issues and channel traffic overload may contribute to a delayed response. Rest assured if you are using your JAMB registrted number to check your v2024 JAMB score, it will eventually come through. Final thoughts on JAMB results 2024 errors and solutions If the errors persist or you have further questions, don’t hesitate to contact JAMB’s support team through their official channels or by physically visiting a JAMB CBT office.
Read MoreTwiga Foods hires Jumia’s Charles Ballard as new CEO
Four months after the abrupt resignation of founder and CEO Peter Njonjo, Twiga Foods has hired Jumia Kenya’s Charles Ballard as its new CEO. Ballard is joining Twiga from e-commerce giant Jumia where he has been the chief executive since April 2023. He joined Jumia in 2019, first as head of performance and planning before rising to chief operating officer in 2021. Njonjo’s exit, which many considered as him being forced out by investors, capped a tumultuous year for Twiga, a B2B e-commerce startup founded in 2014. He also resigned from the company’s board, handing control to investors who have injected more than $150 million in debt and equity since 2017. Other operational problems like delayed payments to suppliers and staff, layoffs, and a legal dispute over a $450,000 cloud bill which was eventually settled out of court are now in the company’s rearview. It will hope Ballard’s appointment will be a breath of fresh air. “With a career spanning over 15 years, of which 9 years in the Kenyan market, Ballard brings a wealth of experience in e-commerce, retail, and financial services. Most recently, Ballard was CEO of Jumia Kenya, a leading e-commerce company, where he led the transformation of the business toward profitability,” Twiga said in a statement. “We are delighted to welcome Charles as our new Chief Executive. His deep understanding of the Kenyan e-commerce and retail landscape, his proven operational grip, his entrepreneurial drive, and his passion for the Twiga Foods opportunity make him the ideal leader to steer Twiga into its next phase of growth and success,” said Hein Pretorius, Twiga board chairman.
Read MoreI am betting on banking, not fintech
This article was contributed to TechCabal by Uzoma Dozie. I am going to do banking, but better. The vast majority of our current crop of African fintechs claim to make banking easier—banking the unbanked/underbanked, etc. But there are limitations to banking when seen only through the fintech lens; and those who have fintech experience, without banking experience, will struggle to genuinely scale and make a real impact or create meaningful value for their customers or their investors. The fintech narrative that permeates all tech and finance discussions is quite superficial and global VCs have been hypnotised by and bought into the narrative, with their chequebooks; and I can see why. Africa has a highly mobilised market that has traditionally been underserved by the larger institutional banks. Banks haven’t been able to serve the un- or underbanked; and fintechs have, on the surface, plugged that gap. However, in their rush to sign up new customers and continuously update their pitch decks with their CACs, the fintechs seem to have forgotten the fundamentals of banking; how to create value for customers whilst extracting value to make the bank a revenue-generating entity. Signing up customers is great; monetising customers is greater still, but generating mutually beneficial value for all is truly the greatest. Fintechs won the UX battle and they won the dialogue with potential customers; they made banking a little more palatable, a little sexier to the masses. And that’s important because banking is mostly unsexy—risk management, data management, cybercrime, corporate and financial governance—all deeply unsexy to many people. But do you know what is worse? Having your data stolen because the platform holding your life savings hasn’t invested in protecting itself from cyber attacks. What’s even worse? Having chosen a fintech to hold all your business banking funds, and the platform has such poor governance or understanding of treasury management that they cannot release YOUR funds to cover YOUR payroll because it hasn’t understood the difference between investment funds and customers’ funds. Keeping customers’ money safe is the bare minimum when it comes to banking. As a financial services institution you are storing value, and if you do that properly, you are creating more value. This covenant, this trust, cannot be broken—this is not a technology play, it’s a banking play. Eat, sleep, dream, and breathe banking fundamentals for many years, then use technology to build upon your deep-rooted foundations. That’s how it has to be done. I’m currently reading Chris Skinner’s book, Intelligent Money, and he is also fixated on how we store value and keep it safe. He looks at the crucial frameworks [which are banking-led, not fintech-led], the importance of banking knowledge, and also the ability to manage [and anticipate] risk — all of which must be considered when keeping customers happy. And by happy, I mean, keeping their money safe and not breaking the covenant of trust. But whilst I’m betting on banking, this doesn’t mean that I’m not an advocate for tech-powered banking. In fact, advocate seems too lightweight a term to describe me. I cannot entertain a world of banking that isn’t massively enhanced and revolutionised by technology. This doesn’t make me a fintech. Here’s why. Technology allows us to process huge amounts of data, at scale, and fast. This allows us to make much better, more targeted banking decisions on areas such as risk mitigation [loan defaults etc.] and allows more frequent and better decisions [basically, better banking]. Technology also allows us to crack down on cyber security, giving us the advantage to see attacks in real-time and trace the money [in most cases] back, reinforcing the need to build trust through security. It also allows us to build banks with better operational capital efficiency; onboarding new customers digitally, and removing the high cost of physical branches. The reduction of costly overheads can then be passed on to customers who can enjoy a lower cost of banking whilst receiving high-quality services. Technology also forces better corporate governance; digital trails [RIP paper trails] provide transparency at every level — from bottom to top—something fintechs have not always been so hot on. At Sparkle, we are very clear on who we are—a bank-led service provider powered by a fintech structure. We are a banking service building a self-sustaining [and subsequently profitable] business. We are not simply building a following that is subsidised by venture capital for a lengthy, undefined period. In the same way, we are building value and managing risk for our customers, we do the same thing for our investors. And this is why I’m betting on banking and not fintech. — Uzoma Dozie is a banker, tech investor, and financial inclusion advocate. He is the CEO and Founder of Sparkle. Before launching Sparkle, he was the GMD and Bank CEO of Diamond Bank where he successfully implemented a merger with Access Bank Plc.
