Tekedia Capital is Available to Invest Up To N10 Billion on Nigeria’s Planned Banking Capitalisation

“However, we need to ask ourselves: Will Nigerian banks have sufficient capital relative to the financial system’s needs in servicing a $1.0 trillion economy shortly? In my opinion, the answer is “No!” unless we take action. Therefore, we must make difficult decisions regarding capital adequacy. As a first step, we will be directing banks to increase their capital,’’ Nigeria’s central bank governor , Yemi Cardoso.

Yes, banks will be expected to raise more capital as the FX paralysis has neutralized their capital base. It is a poison pill: floating Naira generated massive “profits” but that process also neutralized your effective capital base in foreign currency. And now, the central bank thinks you need to raise capital.

Today, commercial banks in Nigeria require N25 billion capital base. Let us assume that the central bank doubles that to N50 billion. If that is the case, Tekedia Capital Syndicate is available to help a bank, and we will work out a great deal.
