Troost-Ekong and Lookman Nominated for CAF Player of the Year Award

Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong and forward Ademola Lookman have been nominated for the 2024 Confederation of African Football (CAF) Men’s Player of the Year award. They will compete against Morocco's Achraf Hakimi, Côte d'Ivoire's Simon Adingra, and Guinea's Serhou Guirassy for this prestigious honor.

Lookman's nomination comes on the heels of his impressive performance at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, where he netted three goals to help Nigeria reach the tournament final. He also made history in the 2024 UEFA Europa League final, scoring a hat-trick and becoming the first player to achieve this feat in an Europa League final, leading Atalanta to victory as the first Italian club to win the tournament.

Troost-Ekong, who was named the 2023 AFCON Player of the Tournament, also scored three goals during the competition. The CAF Awards ceremony is set to take place in Marrakech, Morocco, on December 16.

Tinubu Expands Opportunities with Ojukwu’s Wife’s Ministerial Appointment – Gov. Otti

Abia State Governor Alex Otti has expressed optimism that the appointment of Bianca Ojukwu, widow of the late Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, as Minister of State for Foreign Affairs will enhance the federal government’s efforts in key areas.

In a press release signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ferdinand Ekeoma, Otti described Mrs. Ojukwu’s appointment as a reflection of President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to exploring new progressive opportunities for government success.

He praised the former Nigerian Ambassador to Spain as a fitting choice due to her impressive qualifications and expressed confidence that her leadership will strengthen the nation’s foreign policy and diplomatic ties, ultimately benefiting Nigerians both at home and abroad.

“Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu’s appointment is not only fitting but will also yield significant benefits, especially in foreign policy and diplomatic relations, given her extensive experience and exemplary public service record,” Otti stated.

He emphasized that Mrs. Ojukwu’s dedication to justice and good governance would help the nation navigate its current socio-political challenges, assuring that the people of Abia State will fully support her in her new role.

FirstBank Clarifies: No System Upgrade Currently Underway

FirstBank has dismissed reports suggesting that it is in the process of a system upgrade, emphasizing that a notice regarding a transition to a new cloud-based platform was solely meant for its vendors, not its customers.

In a statement released on Friday, the bank clarified that the communication sent to vendors was misinterpreted and inaccurately reported. The message pertained to the move from the current I-Supplier Platform to a new cloud-based supplier platform, aimed at enhancing vendor capabilities and benefits.

“The message, which was misunderstood and misreported, was directed exclusively at our vendors and focused on transitioning from our current I-Supplier Platform to a new cloud-based supplier platform designed to offer additional features and benefits for our suppliers,” the statement explained.

FirstBank reassured customers that there is no ongoing system upgrade and confirmed that all customer applications remain fully operational. “We are not experiencing any service disruptions, and our banking systems, customer transactions, and channels will not be affected by the enhanced supplier platform,” the statement continued.

The bank reiterated its commitment to providing seamless service to its customers.
