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.

RSG Tasks Rural Dwellers On RAAMP …As Sensitization Team Visits Akulga, Degema, Three Others

Rivers State Head of Service, Dr (Mrs) Inyingi Brown, has called on rural communities in the State to embrace the Rural Access and Agricultural marketing project (RAAMP) with a view to improving their living conditions.
This follows the ongoing sensitization campaign by the State Project Implementation Unit (SPIU) visits to Degema, Abonnema, Afam headquarters of Degema, Akuku Toru and Oyigbo Etche and Omuma local government areas respectively.
Dr Brown who was represented by the Deputy Director, Special Duties in her office, Mrs Dein Akpanah, said RAAMP was initiated by the Federal Government and World Bank to economically empower rural dwellers.s
She said the World Bank understands the plights of rural farmers and traders in the State, and therefore came up with the programme to address them.
According to her, RAAMP will improve the conditions of farmers, traders and fishermen, and therefore, behoves on every rural communities in the State to embrace the programme.
The Head of Service also said the programme would support the youths to be gainfully employed while bridges and roads will be built to link farms and fishing settlements.
Also speaking, the State project coordinator, Mr Joshua Kpakol, said the programme has the potential of creating millionaires among farmers and fishermen in the State.
Kpakol who was represented by Engr. Sam Tombari, said RAAMP would help farmers and fishermen to preserve their produce.
According to him, the project will build cold rooms and Silos for preservation of crops and fishes while access roads will also be created to link farmers and fishermen to the market.
He, however, warned them against any act that will lead to the suspension of the projects by the World Bank.
Kpakol particularly warned against acts such as kidnapping, marching ground, gender based violence and child labour, adding that such acts if they occur may lead to the cancellation of the project by the World Bank.
During the visit to Oyigbo local government area, Mr Joshua Kpakol, said the team was there to let them know how they will benefit from the Raamp.
The coordinator who was personally at Oyigbo said the World Bank introduced the project to check food insecurity in the State.
He said already 19 states in Nigeria are already benefitting from the project and called on them to embrace the project.
Meanwhile, stakeholders in the three local government areas have commended the World Bank for including their areas in the project.
They, however, complained over the incessant attacks by pirates on their waterways.
At Degema, King Agolia of Ke kingdom said land was a major problem in the kingdom.
King Agolia represented by High Chief Alpheus Damiebi said many indigenes of the kingdom are willing to go into farming but are handicapped by lack of land.
Also at Degema, the representative of the Omu Onyam Ekeim of Usokun Degema kingdom, Osoabo Isaac, said Degema has embraced the programme but needed more information on the implementation of the programme.
Similarly, while High Chief Precious Abadi advised that the project should not be narrowed to only crop farming, a community women leader, Mrs Orikinge Eremabo Otto, called for the construction of cold rooms in all fishing settlements in the area.
At Abonnema, Mr Diamond Kio linked the problem of the area to incessant piracy along waterways.
He also expressed fears over the possibility of the project being hijacked by politicians.
Also at Abonnema, a stakeholder, Ikiriko Kelvin, called on the World Bank to design an agricultural project that will suit the riverine environment, while at Oyigbo, HRH Eze Boniface Akawo expressed satisfaction with the project.

Senate Replaces Natasha As Committee Chairman

The political mudslinging between the Senate leadership and Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan continued yesterday as the Senate named Senator Aniekan Bassey as the new Chairman of the Committee on Diaspora and Non-Governmental Organisations.
Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, announced the appointment during yesterday’s plenary, confirming Bassey’s replacement of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, who is currently on suspension.
Akpoti-Uduaghan was reassigned to the Diaspora and NGOs Committee in February after she was removed as Chair of the Senate Committee on Local Content during a minor reshuffle.
Bassey is the senator representing Akwa Ibom North-East Senatorial District.
Although no reason was given for her removal yesterday, the change is believed to be connected to her unresolved suspension.
In May, Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court ordered her reinstatement and directed her to tender an apology to the Senate.
However, the Senate has insisted it has not received a certified true copy of the court judgment.
Akpoti-Uduaghan who represents Kogi Central, has yet to resume her legislative duties despite a recent court ruling that voided her suspension.
In a televised interview on Tuesday, Akpoti-Uduaghan said she was awaiting the Certified True Copy of the judgment before officially returning to plenary, citing legal advice and respect for institutional process.
Although the Federal High Court described her suspension as “excessive and unconstitutional”, a legal opinion dated July 5 and attributed to the Senate’s counsel, Paul Daudu (SAN), argued that the ruling lacked any binding directive to enforce her reinstatement.
Akpoti-Uduaghan, one of only three female senators in the current assembly, said the continued delay in allowing her return was not only a denial of her mandate but also a blow to democratic representation.
“By keeping me out of the chambers, the Senate is not just silencing Kogi Central, it’s denying Nigerian women and children representation. We are only three female senators now, down from eight,” she said.
