Rosabon Wins African Financial Quality Service Award
Rosabon Financial Services has been named the recipient of this year’s “African Financial Quality Service Award” by the Institute for Government Research, Leadership and Technology, Abuja.
This annual award program recognizes organizations that exemplify the highest level of operational and strategic excellence in information technology (IT) in Nigeria.
On receiving the award the MD/CEO Rosabon Financial Services, Chukwuma Ochonogor said; “We are indeed humbled and very honoured in receiving this award. It goes to show that Rosabon financial has been placed on the tables as the big financial players in this country and our outstanding work is being noted and recognized accordingly, this will definitely mark the beginning of incredible things to come”.
The firm provides flexible and convenient access to lease acquisitions, loan financing, financial planning, counseling and related services that enable long-term productivity, growth and better compatibility with a dynamic and complex economic environment as can be found in River State.
The organization prides itself in delivering value-added services to its customers and has set in place packages to facilitate the growth of young businesses in Nigeria. As a result, three financial products were carefully designed to suitably meet the peculiar and specific needs of individual customers and business owners alike.
The Rosabon Earning Program (REAP), is a financial product designed to accept and grow funds from individuals with the principal and interest paid back upon maturity. REAP is targeted at individuals, especially recent graduates who are fully or self-employed in various institutions across different sectors of the economy. Individuals with a need to save towards a long term project continue to benefit immensely for this product as it encourages a disciplined saving culture.
Maureen Nwosu, an entrepreneur, states that, “The accrued interest has really come in handy, which I have used to start and grow a good number of personal projects. Also with them I enjoy impressive customer service and they are always at my beck and call when I request for any financial actions to be taken on my investment’’.
With REAP, an agreed amount is placed by customers monthly over an agreed duration of time typically 2-5 years after which customers receive the amount they originally placed plus interest per annum at the expiration of the agreed duration of time.
Through the Rosabon Win-Big Monthly Note (RWIN), a long-term financial placement offering of the company with a life cycle of 30 days, every customer is given the opportunity to earn up to 600% in monetary value with the initial placement amount.
Occupational therapist, Mensah Kwame, excited about his benefits accrued from RWIN, said “I have won several times through one of their product promos and whenever I want to part-liquidate the response and delivery time is immediate without any hassles.
Boutique financial product Rosabon Treasury Note (RTN) is a tenor-based placement, offering highly competitive interest rates for individuals and corporate groups. It is targeted at self-employed and working class individuals, corporates, and small to medium businesses.
Asides Rosabon’s offerings to Port Harcourt’s financial market, it has placed great value in the timeliness, flexibility of its services and overall a premium customer experience. Furthermore, Ms. Onyeokoro said “We make all information readily and easily accessible to the customer with our stellar customer and client services reps, making sure all your questions are answered and your financial goals are achieved.”

President Bola Tinubu has expressed confidence that the country would win the fight against insecurity.
The President gave the assurance at the Argungu International Fishing Festival in Argungu town, Kebbi State, on Saturday.
He noted that the relative peace currently being enjoyed in Kebbi and neighbouring states was the result of sustained investments in security intelligence, coordination among security agencies, and community engagement.
Tinubu assured farmers and fishermen of sustained federal support to guarantee food security and safety across the country.
“The peace we are witnessing today is not accidental. It is the outcome of deliberate and sustained efforts. I assure you that the fight against banditry, insurgency, and insecurity will be won.
“Our farmers, fishermen, traders, and families will go about their lawful activities without fear,” he assured.
The President commended the organisers of the festival for sustaining the cultural event for decades, noting that it had endured for 83 years despite social and security challenges.
Describing the Argungu festival as a powerful symbol of unity, resilience, and peaceful coexistence, Tinubu stated that it reflects the richness of the country’s culture and the opportunities to harness its natural and human resources for national growth.
He said, “Today, this festival stands as a powerful symbol of unity, resilience, and peaceful coexistence among our people.
“It reflects the richness of our culture, the strength of our traditions, and the opportunities inherent in harnessing our natural and human resources for national development.”
The President was received by a large crowd of residents, traditional rulers, fishermen, tourists, and government officials from across the country.
The President reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to youth and women empowerment, irrigation development, rural electrification, and agricultural productivity.
Earlier, the Kebbi State Governor, Nasir Idris, said his administration was determined to elevate the Argungu Fishing Festival to full international standards while pursuing aggressive development across critical sectors of the state.
The United States Embassy in Abuja and the Consulate General in Lagos will be closed today, in observance of Presidents’ Day.
The mission made this known in a notice shared on its official X page, yesterday.
“The U.S. Embassy in Abuja and the Consulate General in Lagos will be closed on Monday, February 16, 2026, in observance of Presidents’ Day,” the post read.
According to the embassy, Presidents’ Day was originally established to honour the birthday of the former US President, George Washington, but has evolved into a day to celebrate all U.S. presidents and their leadership in shaping the country’s history.
The embassy noted that the holiday also recognises the influence of U.S. presidents on global affairs.
In a related message, the mission highlighted that Washington created the first “Badge of Military Merit,” which later became the Purple Heart. The medal still bears Washington’s image today.
Presidents’ Day is observed on the third Monday of February annually in the United States as a federal holiday.

Guterres Backs Nigeria’s Bid For UN Security Council Seat …Hails Tinubu’s Reforms, Regional Security Role
United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, has charged Nigeria with spearheading Africa’s quest for a restructured global order, describing the country as uniquely positioned to lead the continent toward superpower status.
Guterres, who backed Nigeria’s bid for the world body’s security council seat, also praised the economic reforms of the President Bola Tinubu-led administration as well as Nigeria’s leadership in stabilising the Sahel and ECOWAS regions, despite facing its own security challenges.
The UN scribe made the remarks last Friday night during a high-level bilateral meeting with Vice President Kashim Shettima on the sidelines of the 39th African Union (AU) Summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Speaking during the meeting, Guterres said Nigeria’s large population, sustained democratic governance, vast natural and human resources, and longstanding commitment to multilateralism placed it in a unique position to lead Africa in the evolving global order.
“Given Nigeria’s demographic strength, democratic continuity and deep resource base, the country stands a real chance of leading Africa to becoming the next superpower in the evolving global architecture,” he said.
The UN Secretary-General and the vice president discussed key developments in Nigeria and the country’s expanding leadership role in promoting regional stability across West Africa and the Sahel.
Guterres commended the remarkable and outstanding reforms of the administration of President Tinubu, noting that Nigeria’s bold economic restructuring and security commitments have strengthened its continental standing.
The meeting focused on strengthening Nigeria–UN collaboration to advance global economic growth, peace and security, sustainable development, and a coordinated humanitarian response across Africa.
In his remarks, Shettima thanked the UN Secretary-General for his leadership in advancing global peace, noting that Africa has benefited immensely from his tenure, even as the United Nations undergoes internal restructuring.
“We remain committed to multilateralism and to deepening our partnerships with the United Nations and other global institutions,” the vice president said.
Shettima also reiterated Nigeria’s longstanding call for comprehensive reform of the United Nations system to reflect evolving global realities.
He emphasised that Africa must have stronger representation in global decision-making structures and declared that Nigeria deserves a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council.
Both leaders pledged to deepen cooperation, with Guterres reaffirming the UN’s support for Nigeria’s reform agenda and its growing leadership role in advancing peace, security, and development across Africa.
