C-ONE-BANKLY

C-One Ventures Platform (C-One) has entered into an agreement to invest and acquire the licences, technology and select assets of the Nigerian operations of Bankly -a licensed microfinance bank and fintech leader known for bridging financial access gaps across Nigeria’s informal economy.

The deal which is subject to regulatory approvals including from the Central Bank of Nigeria, reflects C‑One’s commitment to ensuring stability, protecting customers, and building a more resilient financial services platform.

Upon completion, it will see Bankly’s services and talent integrated with complementary offerings
from other companies within the C-One ventures portfolio.


“We believe financial services should be simple, affordable and accessible to everyone,” said a representative of C-One. “Bringing Bankly into our ecosystem allows for a combination of community networks with our powerful digital infrastructure to expand access to finance for underserved communities and drive real economic participation.”

The investment from C-One when finalised, will prioritise the immediate resolution of customer obligations, stabilisation of operations, and strategic integration of Bankly’s technology into its broader financial services ecosystem. The transaction structure involves a modest cash consideration, ensuring a focus on sustainable growth and customer protection.


“Restoring customer confidence and ensuring operational resilience are our immediate priorities. We are
committed to scaling Bankly’s vision while delivering lasting value to our community” added the rep.

Founded in 2018, Bankly has been instrumental in advancing financial inclusion, serving Nigerians through innovative savings, payments, and credit solutions. However, in recent times, it has faced significant liquidity constraints and operational disruptions, including delays in customer withdrawals and reduced service availability.

As part of the acquisition, C-One will build on Bankly’s foundation, ensuring continuity while investing in long-term growth. Bankly’s Co-founder, Tomilola Majekodunmi, will serve in an advisory capacity ensuring continuity and long-term success.

Speaking on the development, Majekodunmi said, “We are immensely proud of the impact we have made over the years. Bankly was built to serve people who were left out of the formal financial system and with C-One’s backing, we have an opportunity to build on this foundation, address recent challenges, and expand our reach to even more communities.”

With Bankly being part of its platform, C-One is further expanding its reach in grassroots financial services, scaling impact and building resilient solutions for real people in real communities.

Supreme Court sets aside N22trn judgement against Union Bank

UNION BANK

The Supreme Court has set aside a Federal High Court judgement in which over N22 trillion was awarded against Union Bank and other parties since 2014.

The judgement arose from a suit instituted by a company known as Visana Nigeria Limited which claimed that Union Bank was indebted to it in the sum of approximately $8 million at an interest rate of 2.5 per cent per month compounded from January 2000 until judgement and thereafter at 10 per cent per annum from the date of judgement until the sum was fully paid.

Delivering the lead judgement of the Supreme Court, with which four other Justices agreed, Justice Stephen Jonah Adah regretted how non-adherence to a settled judicial precedent by the two lower courts had caused a simple matter to be in court for over 25 years.

The final determination of the case is expected to lay to rest the discomfort of the CBN and other regulators of Union Bank, its auditors and rating agencies on the possible impact of the judgement on the going concern status of the bank.

Visana instituted the suit against the defendants, alleging that Metalloplastica Nigeria Limited, a Borrower from Union Bank was indebted to it in the sum of $7,616,188.94 as at December 1993 and that the purported Deed of Debenture made on 24th February 1989, pursuant to which Continental Merchant Bank appointed Chief R. U. Uche as Receiver/Manager of Metalloplastica was invalid, same having been procured “without the prior written consent of Universal Trust Bank and its successors-in title or assigns (being Union Bank) as provided in paragraph 13(f) of the original Debenture issued by Metalloplastica in favour of Universal Trust Bank.

Judgment was delivered against Union Bank on 16 December 2014 for the sum of USD7,616,188.94 or its equivalent in Naira with pre judgement compound interest at the rate of 4.25 per cent per month from 26th January 2000 till the date of judgement and thereafter at the rate of 10 per cent on the judgement sum per annum from the date of the judgement till final liquidation of the debt.

The Court of Appeal later heard the application filed by the 1st respondent (Visana Nigeria Limited) to rely on fresh evidence.

The Appeal was heard, and judgement was delivered on the 16th of April 2021. Judgement was reduced to the sum of USD 365, 605.32 or its equivalent in Naira with pre-judgement with interest at 4.25 per cent per month simple interest from 31st December 1993 to 16th December 2014 and thereafter at the rate of 10 per cent per annum from the date of the judgement at the court below until final liquidation of the Judgment debt.

Still dissatisfied by the judgement of the Court of Appeal, Union Bank further appealed to the Supreme Court in 2021. Union Bank’s persistence paid off in the judgement delivered on Friday, 25 April 2025.

Sterling Bank Introduces Free Bus Rides for Nigerians, Doubles Down On Push for Free Transfers

Cascador and Sterling Bank Launch Breakthrough Funding for Nigerian Entrepreneurs

After sparking a national movement with its Zero Transfer Fees campaign, Sterling Bank has once again pushed the boundaries of what corporate citizenship can mean to everyday Nigerians.

Last week, regular Lagosians stepping out after long workdays were met with an unexpected gift: Sterling OneBank-branded buses waiting to take them home, free of charge.

Starting as a push against bank transfer fees, the initiative has now taken to the streets, as the bank began offering free bus rides to customers across major Lagos corridors, a gesture that will continue through May 2025 to ease the return of workers after the May Day holidays.

For a city where a single bus fare can be the difference between feeding a family or not,
Sterling’s free ride initiative struck a deep chord.

What began with free transfers through its OneBank platform has now evolved into a movement on wheels, connecting digital convenience with real-world survival. In a time of skyrocketing costs, the bank is reaffirming a simple belief: financial freedom should not end at the removal of bank charges, it should move you, carry you, and lift you.

Across Lagos, from Obalende to Ikorodu and TBS to Oshodi, the sight of Sterling buses pulling up to offer free rides sparked moments of disbelief, gratitude, and quiet celebration. For thousands of commuters, it was a tangible reminder that sometimes, the biggest changes come not from slogans, but from small, deliberate acts of care.

“For customers who have to choose between transport fare and groceries, this is more than a ride, it’s hope,” said Chidimma Okoli, Masterbrand Marketing Lead at Sterling. “When we said we were tearing down the barriers to moving your money, we meant it. But we also meant the barriers to moving yourself, to moving your dreams, to moving your life forward.

This isn’t just about banking apps. It’s about freedom, in every sense of the word.”


Mary E., a market trader from Oshodi, stepped off a Sterling bus last Friday and captured the mood perfectly. “This is the first time a bank is not just advertising but acting,” she said, beaming. “I have saved on transfers all month because of OneBank. And today, I saved on my transport. Sterling ehn, dem sharp. Dem dey move.”

Across town, a young professional shared his own experience on LinkedIn: “Every naira
matters o. I already saved money on bank transfers using OneBank. Today, Sterling saved me time, money, and stress after a brutal day at work. They just get it.

Another rider, Amaka, I’m a single mother and hairdresser from Ajah, described the free ride
as “a blessing nobody told me was coming.” She added, “We Lagos people work so hard
just to move. Today, I didn’t have to count Naira for my bus fare. That is dignity. That is
respect.”

Chidimma Okoli emphasized that this initiative was never about fanfare, but about putting
philosophy into action. “Financial systems have for too long extracted from Nigerians,” she said. “At Sterling, we are making a different choice. We are giving back, not just in naira and kobo, but in opportunities, in relief and in real dignity.” This initiative builds on Sterling’s history of standing with Nigerians during critical moments.

During the pandemic, Sterling was one of the first banks to support remote work transitions
and provide digital lifelines to struggling SMEs. Through programs like AltSchool Africa and entrepreneur bootcamps, Sterling has opened new doors to skills development and affordable financing.

After fuel subsidies were removed, the bank financed transport cooperatives to keep mobility alive for thousands who would otherwise have been stranded.

But according to Okoli, what matters now is not history, it’s momentum. “We’re not trying to relive past glories,” she said. “We’re building new victories, alongside the people who trust us every day with their journeys.”

Beneath the buses and smiling faces lies a deeper story of infrastructure strength. Sterling’s robust digital banking backbone, capable of handling over 180 million transactions and scaling rapidly, allows it to absorb costs that many banks would have pushed onto customers. It is this invisible engine that has further helped make visible change possible.

As the month of May approaches, the momentum will continue. Workers returning from the holidays can expect to find the free rides still running across locations, a daily reminder that real banking doesn’t just live in apps but also on the streets, in the choices that make hard lives a little easier.

Sterling is encouraging all riders to share their experiences online, turning thousands of quiet journeys into a loud statement that Nigeria deserves a financial system that carries its people forward, not holds them back. Because true banking is not about hoarding profit; it is about moving lives and moving freely.

The National Orientation Agency, NOA, Lagos State Directorate has reiterated the commitment of the Federal Government toward ensuring transparency and accountability in the students loan scheme disbursements.

Director, NOA Lagos Directorate, Dr Mustafa Adedeji Tukur made the commitment during a radio programme in Lagos .

Tukur’s statement followed a a recent revelation by the Director General of NOA, Malam Lanre Issa-Onilu that some tertiary institutions and banks were conspiring to defraud the beneficiaries of NELFUND loan.

The DG had disclosed that several institutions were found to have received loan disbursements into their accounts without informing the affected students, and in some cases, still compelled them to pay tuition fees, leading to double payments.

Tukur emphasised the agency’s support for the DG’s position and warned that such unethical acts will not be tolerated

He assured Nigerians that the government is working seriously to fish out, apprehend, and prosecute all offenders found to be involved in these fraudulent activities.

He said that the FG was actively implementing programmes aimed at reducing unemployment to the barest minimum.

He noted that many initiatives and grants are being channeled toward empowering young entrepreneurs across the country.

The NOA Director welcomed open engagement with stakeholders on the students loan scheme and reiterated the agency’s readiness to take up credible complaints.

He also used the opportunity to reaffirm NOA’s determination to ensure that students benefit fully from government interventions and called on the public to report any misconduct noticed in the implementation of the scheme for prompt action.

GHANA CREATIVE AGENCY FORGES STRONGER CULTURAL TIES WITH LAGOS TOURISM MINISTRY

As a way of deepening regional collaboration, while also strengthening the creative and tourism industries across West Africa, the Lagos State Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture on Friday played host to a high-level delegation from the Ghana Creative Arts Agency at the Ministry’s Headquarters in Alausa, Ikeja.

During the visit, the Lagos State Commissioner for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mrs. Toke Benson-Awoyinka, described the engagement as a strategic opportunity for knowledge exchange, institutional partnerships, and sustainable growth in the creative sector.

“Lagos does not compete. We create and collaborate,” the Commissioner said. “It is a pleasure to host our brothers and sisters from Ghana. This engagement is about synergy, shared learning and laying a foundation for cross-border support systems that benefit creatives throughout the region.”

Highlighting Lagos’ prominent role as a cultural and creative leader in Africa, Mrs. Benson-Awoyinka reaffirmed the Ministry’s dedication to developing a comprehensive, year-round calendar of tourism and cultural events. She noted that consistent programming would further position Lagos as a premier destination for arts, culture, and tourism.

She also emphasised the economic potential of the creative sector, describing it as a formal industry capable of boosting the local economy when properly harnessed. “Creativity is a vast industry, and everyone has a role to play in its advancement,” she added.

The Commissioner further pledged the Ministry’s full support for the upcoming Speed Boat Racing and Creative Summit, scheduled for October 2025, describing it as an innovative platform to showcase Lagos’ waterfront culture and diverse creative talents.

She underscored the importance of institutional backing, sustainable public-private funding, and youth empowerment across all creative disciplines.

Speaking during the visit, Director of Creative Arts at the Ministry, Mrs. Bisi Omojare elaborated on the Ministry’s operational framework, which encourages creatives – from architecture to comedy – to register with the Ministry. This system, according to her, enables them to benefit from endorsements and receive government support for both local and international events.

Leading the Ghanaian delegation, Ag. Executive Secretary of the Creative Arts Agency of Ghana, Mr. Gideon Aryeequaye expressed admiration for Lagos’ structured approach to cultural development and affirmed Ghana’s commitment to building similar frameworks.

“We’ve always admired Lagos from afar, and this visit has confirmed why you are regarded as a big sister in the creative space,” he said. “Our purpose here is to learn, collaborate, and grow together.”

Commenting on the transformation of Ghana’s Creative Arts Agency following national reforms in 2020, Mr. Aryeequaye suggested future immersive exchanges, joint talent showcases, and collaborative media projects that promote Afrocentric ownership of creative assets and resist cultural dilution between the two organisations.

He also thanked officers of LASTMA and LASEMA who were prompt to get to the incident scene, Trek Africa Newspaper can report.

The empathetic politician fondly called TOS shared with pressmen, ‘I am grateful to God for not allowing us to experience sorrow today in Agege. This incident would have brought untold pains to family, friends, and the entire Agege community but Mercy said no.’

‘Let me use the opportunity to sympathize with the driver who sustained major injuries, survivors who have minor injuries and the drivers of those damaged vehicles. May God help them recover fully.’

‘I thank our first responder agencies, very active agencies in Lagos State, LASTMA under the leadership of Mr. Olalekan Bakare-Oki and LASEMA for promptly getting to the accident scene. It saved us a lot of pains. Thank you very much.’

Consequently, the truck plunged from the bridge, landing upon the two commercial buses stationed beneath.’

The National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), Lagos Technical Professionals, has organized a public speaking competition for secondary school students across Lagos, a platform aimed at harnessing potential in public speaking and exploring the future of robotics innovation.

The competition was held as part of the inaugural edition of the Young Uplifters Club Leadership Camp, a three-day leadership and personal development programme organized by the Lagos State Education District 1, designed to equip secondary school students with critical life skills.

President of NSBE Lagos Technical Professionals, Engineer Adebayo Majonagbe, emphasized the importance of early mentorship and leadership training for youths.

“When we’re talking about leadership, we’re talking about influence,” he explained. “If you want to catch them young, you have to train them. If you don’t train them, don’t blame them.”

According to Majonagbe, the public speaking competition was a practical extension of the day’s leadership teachings. “We spoke to them in the morning about public speaking, and in the evening, we asked them to come and show us what they learned,” he said. “That’s part of the equipping process. They need to be corrected, guided, and applauded.”

He called on the Nigerian government and education stakeholders to prioritize leadership and tech education. “This is the beginning,” he stated. “With the right training, our children will grow to match any developed country in innovation and leadership.”

On her part, robotics coach Oseni Oluwabunmi of the Blended Learning and Study Centre (BLSC) said the Centre partnered with NSBE to expose students to the cutting-edge world of robotics and artificial intelligence.

Oseni, who spoke passionately about how technology can transform education in Nigeria, said: “With the world advancing in AI and robotics, it’s time our curriculum adapts.”

“Robotics enhances learning, creativity, and confidence. We train students to build and program robots—not just for fun, but to prepare them for real-life engineering, medicine, and more.”

She stressed the importance of building communities across schools and universities to democratize access to robotics education.

“We provide free classes, community events, and training—even for students who can’t afford full membership. Our goal is to ensure no child is left behind,” she noted.

The robotics coach also urged policymakers to integrate programming and robotics into the national curriculum. “Many young people think they can’t compete with their peers abroad. That mindset needs to change. We’re proving every day that they can—and they will.”

According to her, the event showcased two robots designed as part of the First Tech Challenge, a competition sponsored by organizations like Coderena and supported by the Ministry of Education.

Three outstanding students emerged from the competition, including Babalola David Oluwashimilore of Olorunfumi Senior Grammar School, Idimu, who won first place.

Speaking with Blacktalker, Babalola said the experience was both emotional and inspiring. “The speech I heard in the morning helped me know when and how to speak. I just showed everyone who I am,” he reflected.

Chiamaka Mercy came second, while Adeniran Esiro took third place. Winners were judged based on confidence, composure, and expression.

The Convener of the MOFE Foundation, Engr. Mrs. Funmi Akingbagbohun has identified the connection between public speaking and effective leadership, charging youths and young adults to be articulate, informed and bold enough to drive change.

Engr. Mrs. Akingbagbohun gave the charge during her presentation at the inaugural edition of the Young Uplifters Club Leadership Camp, a three-day leadership and personal development programme organised by the Lagos State Education District 1, to equip secondary school students with critical life skills.

She emphasized that the ability to speak articulately and inspire others is a cornerstone of leadership. “For you to inspire others, that means that you are communicating effectively for them to be inspired, for them to be motivated and that is where you can drive change, as a leader,” she said.

Engr Mrs. Akingbagbohun who is a Fellow of the Nigerian Society of Engineers went on to highlight practical tips, including the importance of overcoming fear, understanding one’s audience and consistent practice.

YOUNG UPLIFTERS CLUB

She also praised the Lagos State Government for introducing robotics into education, calling it a vital tool for fostering creativity and innovation among students. She stressed the need for youth to embrace technology not just as a tool, but as “the language of the future.”

Regarding the growing concern about internet misuse among children, Engr Mrs. Akingbagbohun advocated for parental guidance and digital literacy as strategies for encouraging productive online habits. “They should use the internet for research, for technology build-up, for their career progression,” she said.

Also speaking, the Chairman of the planning committee, Dr. Olubukola Rosanwo, described the programme as a strategic effort to sustain and nurture academic excellence and leadership qualities among students.

YOUNG UPLIFTERS CLUB

“This is not just a camp, it is a grooming ground for the leaders of tomorrow. We want them to maintain excellence and remain focused. Even the sky cannot limit them,” she remarked.

“This club exists in every school, and we will continue to build on this foundation,” Dr. Rosanwo stated. “Through mentorship and consistent engagement, we hope to sustain these gains and raise a generation of excellent, forward-thinking leaders.”

Students who took part in the programme were visibly inspired. Balogun Samuel Ayola from Ijaiye-Ojokoro Senior High School shared how the event has broadened his perspectives. “We’ve learned so much from mental health and public speaking to using social media responsibly. I now understand how powerful and positive our voices can be.”

Aisha Abdulrohim, another student from Millennium Senior Secondary School, echoed similar sentiments. “I used to be extremely shy, but now I feel confident to face an audience. This programme has truly changed me,” she said with a smile.

Blacktalker was present to witness the activities of the leadership camp which hosted over 200 students from 100 schools and featured workshops, etiquette training, and mentoring sessions by professionals across various fields.

WEMA @80

All roads lead to Lagos on May 2nd 2025, when Wema Bank, Nigeria’s oldest indigenous bank, leading innovative bank and pioneer of Africa’s first fully digital bank, ALAT, will be marking its 80th anniversary in grand style, in the city where it all started.

Founded on May 2nd 1945 as Agbonmagbe Bank Limited, Wema Bank was established by the Late Chief Matthew Adekoya Okupe and two others, his wife, Regina Adekoya Okupe and a family friend, Reverend Alade.

In an era where the banking industry was designed to cater only to the colonial government and expatriates, Wema Bank came to life as a vanguard of indigenous banking, bridging the gap in access to financial services by providing quality financial services tailored to the needs of indigenous Nigerians and businesses.

The story of Wema Bank is one that symbolises remarkable resilience, capturing the journey of an indigenous Nigerian bank that dared to rise at the heights of the colonial era, weathering the storms of the difficult terrain, navigating challenges and constantly reinventing to continue serving Nigerians against all odds, for 8 solid decades and counting.

This great bank, which began as the mere vision of an illustrious philanthropist in a hollow room at Agbonmagbe Lodge, Yaba, Lagos, has now grown to not only become Nigeria’s longest standing indigenous and most resilient bank but also, Nigeria’s most innovative bank.

In truth, Wema Bank’s formidable legacy is proof that Nigerian businesses have the capacity to last, transcend time, adapt and innovate to remain valuable to customers, stakeholders, shareholders, industries, and the nation at large.

From empowering Nigerians with the finest quality of financial services to providing tailored opportunities for underserved categories of the population, spearheading the future of banking and being a backbone for Nigeria’s FinTech industry by not only pioneering the continent’s first fully digital bank, ALAT, but also allowing FinTechs to operate using the Bank’s secure and advanced network; Wema Bank has built a legacy of impact since 1945.

As Wema Bank counts down to its 80th anniversary on May 2nd, 2025, the world eagerly anticipates the future of possibilities that lies ahead for this phenomenal bank. While details of the grand Wema at 80 event are yet to be disclosed, the event is reported to be the most star-studded and exclusive corporate celebration of the year, convening generations of Nigerians in Lagos in a night of momentous reflection, merriment and grandeur, with the dress code, timeless elegance.
