Central Bank Of Nigeria With the introduction of a new interest rate structure, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has allowed financial institutions to earn between 19% and 25.75 per cent on deposits kept with the central bank. The CBN had previously suspended its Standing Lending Facility (SLF) for banks.  The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) decided in July to modify the asymmetric corridor, which resulted in notable adjustments to the lending and deposit facilities provided by the CBN. This decision was followed by the directive, which is effective immediately. The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) increased the MPR by 50 basis points to 26.75 per cent during its meeting in July. Additionally, the MPC changed the asymmetric corridor surrounding the MPR from +100/-300 basis points to +500/-100 basis points.

IBOM Hotel & Golf Resort in Uyo is a place to be.

By Ben Agadaga It occupies 174 hectares of land and has 130 rooms and 26 suites. These are the kind of facilities we should be building in Bayelsa State to encourage the tourism and hospitality   industry. We pay heavily to go for workshops in Uyo and Calabar  because we see good and serene environments, but we have refused to develop our own. The people who built IBOM Hotel and others don't have four heads but are inspired by the vision of drawing the world closer to them. Investors will not come if we don't have what to attract them. Tourists will not come and add to our IGR if we don't have the facilities to drive that sector. No state prospers by solely depending on federal allocation. The tourism and hospitality industry has the huge potential to turn our state around if we can put the right infrastructure together and run it on a public-private partnership. If it can work in Akwa Ibom and Calabar, then it can also work in Bayelsa. For more information about IBOM Hotel
