Petroleum Industry Bill: Game of Chicken or Chicken Little

Last Sunday, an article I wrote on Nigeria's controversial draft Petroleum Industry Bill appeared in NEXT newspaper. Rather than focus on the specificities of the proposed bill, which many commentators have already done, I approach the subject from the strategic dimension by looking at the international trends which have induced the Nigerian government to push it ahead.

Charts Hypochondriasis: A Panacea for Uppers and Downers Addiction

Different or Indifferent: Politics Does Matter After All

This week on Street Talking in NEXT, I take a step back from my parochial interests in investor relations and shareholder issues to trace the tight relationship between sound judgment among the political leaders and national economic progress. My inspiration has been the realization that even with the most enthusiastic and sincere efforts by companies, the responsibility for creating an enabling business environment lies with the government. If the government fails in that task, or the politicians deny that duty, then no matter the commitment of companies and the capital that investors are willing to pump in, the economy will not reach its full potential, ultimately hurting shareholders in the long run.

Investor communications and disclosure: It’s Broke. Let’s fix it

This week in Alrroya, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) business and financial daily, I discuss the role that robust disclosure rules can play in averting a repetition of the turmoil that has engulfed the market in the past two years. I have no doubts that the markets would pick up again, but if shareholders fail to draw the right lessons from past experience and companies refuse to change their ways accordingly, then it is only a matter of time before we have another panic season on our hands

Signal versus Noise: Scrutinizing Share Buybacks

This week on Street Talking in NEXT, I share my reservations on the acclaimed merits of recent capital structure reconfigurations, especially share reconstructions and buy-backs by companies on the Nigerian Stock Exchange. In place of these unproven merits, I urge companies to focus, instead, on other less discussed, but surer benefits of such programs for shareholders.
