Raising The Bar: NAF Special Forces Keep Fit To Crush InsurgentsThe Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has continued to strengthen its operational capability against terrorism, insurgency, kidnapping and other security threats through rigorous and realistic Special Forces training.

In furtherance of this commitment, the Regiment Training Centre Annex (RTCA) Bauchi, on 30th May, 2026, conducted the final Physical Fitness Test for trainees of Special Forces Course 13/2026.

The assessment formed a critical phase of the selection process, challenging trainees through a series of demanding physical and mental evaluations designed to identify those possessing the resilience, discipline, endurance and combat mindset required for Special Forces operations.

Highlighting the strategic importance of the exercise, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, reiterated that the evolving security landscape demands highly trained and mission-ready personnel capable of responding decisively to emerging threats.

He emphasized that the Nigerian Air Force remains fully committed to supporting ongoing counter-terrorism, counter-insurgency and internal security operations aimed at protecting lives, securing communities and preserving national stability.

Charging personnel to remain resolute in the discharge of their duties, the CAS stated: "The Nigerian Air Force will continue to train, equip and deploy personnel capable of taking the fight to terrorists, kidnappers and other criminal elements wherever they may be found.

Those who threaten innocent citizens, terrorise communities and undermine the peace of our nation must understand that there will be no sanctuary for criminality. Our resolve is unwavering, and our commitment to protecting Nigerians remains absolute."

Speaking during the exercise, the Commandant of RTCA Bauchi, Squadron Leader Edeama Lawrence Akpan, stated that the assessment was designed to ensure that only trainees who demonstrate exceptional physical fitness, determination and operational readiness continue on the course.

He emphasized that Special Forces personnel are routinely required to operate under austere and hostile conditions where mission success often depends on physical endurance, mental toughness and unwavering commitment to duty.

According to him, the exercise remains a key benchmark for measuring the preparedness of trainees for the rigours of special operations and future operational responsibilities.

The final Physical Fitness Test underscores the Nigerian Air Force's determination to maintain a highly capable force ready to support ongoing military operations across the country.

It also reflects the Service's commitment to producing physically fit, mentally resilient and mission-ready Special Forces operators capable of responding effectively to contemporary security challenges.

Through sustained investment in realistic training and uncompromising standards, the NAF continues to build an elite force prepared to dominate the battlespace, protect innocent lives and contribute decisively to the achievement of national security objectives.

Savannah Energy Posts Strong Four-Month Performance With 8% Increase In Nigeria’s Daily ProductionAhead of its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") on 1 June 2026, Savannah Energy PLC, the British independent energy company focused around the delivery of Projects that Matter, has provided a trading update on its Nigerian operations and other markets in Africa for the four months to 30 April 2026, reflecting continued operational progress and a strong focus on cash discipline.

It reports that following the completion of the SIPEC Acquisition in March 2025, the production expansion programme underway at its Stubb Creek has delivered an 8% increase in average gross daily production to 3.1 Kbopd for the period, compared to 2.8 Kbopd during the same period in 2025. Its group average gross daily production for the four-month period stood at 15.7 Kboepd (FY 2025: 18.8 Kboepd) with gas production volumes constrained as a result of the ongoing drilling and operational activity, and customer gas demand.

The update shows that its Revenues increased by 17% year-on-year to US$104.1 million, compared to US$89.1 million in the same period last year. It also shows that its trade receivables balance declined by 22% to US$395.2 million from US$507.2 million at year-end 2025.

It also reported cash balances of US$64.7 million during the four-month period, compared to the 31 December 2025 figure of US$42.8 million, with its net debt standing at US$641.7 million compared to the 31 December 2025 figure of US$658.6 million.

According to the update, Savannah’s cash collections for the four months ended April 30 amounted to US$183.5 million, a 48% increase from the US$89.1 million it received during the same period in 2025.

Savannah also reported that it has entered into a new £32 million unsecured loan facility with NIPCO plc, its largest shareholder. The facility is structured in two tranches: £20 million available immediately and £12 million available from July 1. The loan carries a 4.5% annual interest rate and has a 36-month term.

The facility includes a conversion option that allows Savannah to repay the loan through the issuance of new shares at 8 pence per share. NIPCO cannot require conversion, and Savannah is under no obligation to issue shares. The transaction constitutes a related party transaction under AIM rules.

The report highlighted the operational progress being made across key African assets, including Uquo and Stubb Creek, as well as continued advancement of its wind, solar and hydropower projects. It reports that drilling and completion activities at the Uquo NE well location have now been concluded, with rig-down operations currently underway ahead of mobilisation to the next well.

It also reports that the flowline installation is in its final stages, with tie-in activities ongoing at the Uquo CPF, while tie-in works at the well pad are expected to commence shortly, with first gas targeted for early July 2026, supporting the higher forecast gas production expected in H2 2026. Site construction activities at the Uquo South exploration well location, it said, are progressing well, with the site expected to be ready by early June 2026, just as conductor piling operations are also ongoing in preparation for the rig move from the Uquo NE location.

In Niger, Savannah reports that its Parc Eolien de la Tarka project has made significant progress to date, with the Minister of Energy confirming that the project is on the Government’s list of priority projects. It expects the timing and sequencing of further development activities in relation to the project to be linked to the timing and outcome of the Company’s ongoing discussions with the Government of Niger regarding the R1234 PSC and the potential recommencement of oil activities.

In Cameroon, negotiations with the Government are at an advanced stage regarding a Joint Development Agreement for the up to 95 MW Bini a Warak hybrid hydroelectric and solar project. This is expected to replace the Memorandum of Agreement signed in April 2023 and secure the terms under which Savannah will collaborate with the Government of Cameroon to further develop the project.

Andrew Knott, CEO of Savannah Energy, said: “Savannah continues to deliver against the nine core focus areas we set out for the business at the start of 2025. In Nigeria, we have seen a significant improvement in cash collections, with a 48% year-on-year increase in the first four months of the year, alongside a 17% year-on-year increase in Revenues and a 22% reduction in our trade receivables balance since year-end 2025.

This reflects our ongoing focus on disciplined cash collections and receivables management, which remains a key priority for the business this year. Operationally, we are advancing a number of important projects, including the drilling of two new gas wells at the Uquo field, and the production expansion programme at Stubb Creek which has already delivered an 8% increase in average daily production (compared to the first four months of 2025). In our power division, we continue to progress our greenfield wind, solar and hydro portfolio. Alongside this, we continue to pursue further value-accretive acquisitions across both hydrocarbons and power, with several opportunities under active discussion. We are also pleased to have secured a new £32 million loan facility from NIPCO plc (“NIPCO”), our largest shareholder, strengthening our financial flexibility and further underpinning our confidence in delivering continued operational, financial and strategic progress through 2026 and 2027.”

‎Lafarge Africa Adds 4.5 Million Tonnes Capacity, Targets Volume-Led Growth As Cement Demand Surges ‎‎Lafarge Africa Plc is betting on scale as it brings an additional 4.5 million metric tonnes of cement capacity online through expansions at its Sagamu plant in Ogun State and Ashaka plant in Gombe State.

The move positions the company to chase volume-driven market share, cut energy costs, and meet rising demand from Nigeria’s construction sector.

‎With the new lines, Lafarge’s total installed capacity climbs to 14 million metric tonnes per annum, cementing its position as one of the largest cement producers in Sub-Saharan Africa.

‎Industry analysts say the expansion is a clear “volume-led growth” play designed to capture more of Nigeria’s cement market, where annual demand has consistently outpaced supply.

‎The expanded capacity allows Lafarge to push more product into key construction corridors. The Sagamu plant expansion raises output to 3.5 million metric tonnes per year, targeting the high-density building market around Lagos and the South-West. Meanwhile, the Ashaka expansion strengthens Lafarge’s grip on Northern Nigeria, securing supply chains across Gombe and neighboring states.

‎The company has a track record of converting volume into revenue. Lafarge Africa crossed the ₦1 trillion revenue milestone in recent years, with growth largely driven by strong sales volumes despite macro headwinds. Management expects the new 4.5 million tonnes to scale directly into top-line growth as regional demand remains robust.

‎“Expanding total production capacity to 14 million metric tonnes per annum positions Lafarge to capture substantial volume-driven market share,” a company statement said. “Enhanced market pe*******on in both South-West and Northern Nigeria gives us the footprint to serve customers closer to source.”

‎Beyond revenue, Lafarge says the new lines are designed to improve operating margins through efficiency. Both Sagamu and Ashaka expansions use modern dry-process technology, equipped with preheater kilns and vertical roller presses that consume less energy per tonne of cement produced.

‎Energy accounts for up to 40% of cement production costs in Nigeria, making efficiency upgrades critical amid volatile gas prices and foreign exchange pressures. Lafarge expects the new plants to lower its cost per tonne and protect margins from inflationary shocks.

‎The expanded footprint also reduces logistical inefficiencies. By producing closer to end markets in Lagos and Northern Nigeria, Lafarge can cut transport costs and improve delivery times — a key factor in cement pricing power.

‎“Boosting local cement availability and expanding our footprint allows the company to minimize logistical inefficiencies and maximize economies of scale,” the company noted. “The integration of these energy-efficient plants protects operating profit from inflationary pressures, driving higher net margins and strengthening overall profitability.”

‎Nigeria’s cement industry has seen a race for capacity in recent years, driven by government infrastructure projects, housing deficits, and private construction. Lafarge competes with Dangote Cement and BUA Cement in a market where scale, energy efficiency, and distribution networks determine profitability.

‎The Sagamu and Ashaka upgrades align Lafarge with that playbook: expand capacity, lower unit costs, and deepen regional pe*******on. With Nigeria’s housing gap estimated at over 20 million units and federal infrastructure spending rising, demand for cement is expected to remain strong through 2027.

‎For Lafarge Africa, the 4.5 million tonne addition is not just about volume. It’s a hedge against rising energy and FX costs, and a push to strengthen bottom-line contributions as the company targets sustainable, margin-led growth.

‎The new lines are expected to ramp up fully in the coming quarters, with impact on revenue and earnings to be reflected in upcoming financial results.

Dr. Umaru Kwairanga Hails “Collective Effort” As He Receives International Business Leadership Award In Accra‎Alhaji (Dr.) Umaru Kwairanga, Group Chairman of the Nigerian Exchange Group Plc and Managing Director/CEO of Finance Services Limited (FINMAL), has dedicated his International Business Achiever Award to the people and institutions that shaped his career, describing the honour as “a recognition of collective effort, not individual achievement.”
‎
‎Kwairanga received the award on Saturday, May 30, 2026, at the 2026 International Business Achiever Awards organized by M-Gibes College of Business and Management.
‎
‎The ceremony, held at the British Council Hall in Accra, Ghana, brought together business leaders, policymakers, and entrepreneurs from across Africa to celebrate excellence in enterprise, leadership, and impact.
‎
‎Speaking after receiving the award, Kwairanga said he accepted it with humility, noting that no milestone in business is reached alone.
‎
‎“This honour is one I share with mentors who guided me, with colleagues who worked tirelessly beside me, and with institutions that trusted in the vision we built together,” he told the gathering.
‎
‎He paid special tribute to two of Nigeria’s most respected business icons: Alhaji Umaru Mutallab, and Alhaji Aliko Dangote. Kwairanga credited them for instilling in him the values of discipline, integrity, and long-term thinking that have defined his three-decade career in finance and capital markets.
‎
‎“Their example taught me that true leadership is measured not just by profit, but by the value you create for people and for the nation,” he said.
‎
‎Kwairanga used the platform to spotlight the journey of FINMAL, the investment and financial advisory firm he leads. He described how the company evolved from a modest Lagos-based firm into a respected player with growing influence across West Africa.
‎
‎“Our story at FINMAL shows what is possible when you combine patience, professionalism, and purpose,” he said. “Today, we are proud that FINMAL is contributing to financing infrastructure, supporting SMEs, and deepening financial inclusion across the region.”
‎
‎He also commended the staff of FINMAL, saying their commitment and resilience have been the engine behind the firm’s growth. “Every award I receive belongs to them as much as it belongs to me,” he added.
‎
‎As Chairman of NGX Group, Kwairanga highlighted the transformation of Nigeria’s capital market since the demutualization and restructuring of the Nigerian Stock Exchange. He praised the management team led by the Group CEO, Mr. Temi Popoola and the board for driving reforms that have improved transparency, technology, and investor confidence.
‎
‎“Under this leadership, the Nigerian Exchange has become more competitive and more attractive to both local and foreign investors,” Kwairanga noted. “We are seeing more listings, more innovative products, and greater participation by young Nigerians. That is the future we are building.”
‎
‎He said the capital market has a critical role to play in mobilizing long-term capital for Nigeria’s infrastructure deficit, housing gap, and energy transition. “If we get the capital market right, we unlock funding for the real economy,” he argued.
‎
‎Kwairanga also acknowledged the economic reform agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, saying the removal of fuel subsidy and unification of the foreign exchange market, though painful in the short term, were necessary steps to stabilize Nigeria’s economy.
‎
‎“These are difficult decisions, but they are the right decisions for long-term growth,” he stated. “We are already seeing signs of stability returning, and I believe that with consistency, Nigeria will be in a much stronger position in the next few years.”
‎
‎He urged the private sector to partner with government by investing in productive sectors, creating jobs, and supporting policies that expand the tax base and reduce over-dependence on oil.
‎
‎Delivering a charge to young Africans at the event, Kwairanga said success in business requires more than ambition. He listed discipline, integrity, and resilience as non-negotiable.
‎
‎“To the young entrepreneurs here today: build with integrity, think long-term, and be ready to outlast challenges,” he advised. “The road will not always be smooth, but if your foundation is strong, you will stand. Africa needs builders, not just dreamers.”
‎
‎He encouraged them to leverage technology, embrace regional trade under the AfCFTA, and focus on solving real problems in health, agriculture, education, and finance.
‎
‎The International Business Achiever Awards, organized annually by M-Gibes College of Business and Management, recognizes Africans who have demonstrated outstanding leadership and contributed to economic development on the continent.
‎
‎In his remarks, the President of M-Gibes College described Kwairanga as “a bridge between Nigeria’s old and new economy,” praising his role in modernizing the capital market while staying rooted in values of trust and service.
‎
‎Other awardees at the 2026 edition included CEOs from Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, and Senegal, spanning sectors such as fintech, renewable energy, manufacturing, and education.
