A pastor, Mike Davids, who was formerly with Omega Fire Ministries, has written a letter to the Corporate Affairs Commission asking the CAC to suspend the General Overseer of the church, Apostle Johnson Suleman, and appoint an interim manager in line with Section 839 of the Companies and Allied Matters Act, 2020.
Davids, who had accused Apostle Suleman of sleeping with his wife in the presence of his young daughter, said the CAC should also probe the church’s finances, Apostle Suleman’s lifestyle and alleged the purchase of a private jet.
The requests are contained in a letter sent to the Registrar-General of the commission, Garba Abubakar, which was received by the CAC on February 12, 2020.

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project has dragged the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), to a Federal High Court in Abuja over the Companies and Allied Matters Act, 2020.
In a statement issued on Sunday, SERAP said it asked the court to stop Buhari from using draconian provisions of CAMA 2020 to target activists; arbitrarily merge private associations, religious associations, charities, NGOs/ professional bodies under Part F and remove their trustees.
“These unlawful provisions will allow the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) to take over the funds of any such association and give such funds to another association on the pretext that the account is dormant,” the group said.

SERAP in a statement issued on Sunday by its SERAP Deputy Director, Kolawole Oluwadare, wants the court to bar Buhari “from implementing draconian and unlawful provisions of the CAMA 2020 which allows the Federal Government to arbitrarily merge a new association with an already registered association; to suspend and remove trustees of any association, and to take over funds belonging to any association, and transfer such funds to another association on the pretext that the account is dormant.”
To ensure economic growth and promote youth inclusiveness in regional development in the Niger Delta, there is a need to invest in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) as a catalyst to create employment and ensure global competitiveness.
This was a position canvassed at the maiden edition of the Niger Delta Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises Summit 2021 which was held at the Aztech Event Centre, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Speaking at the event, the Convener of the Summit and Chairman Mosilo Group who is also the Founder of Nigerian Young Professionals Forum (NYPF) and Niger Delta Young Professionals, under which umbrella the summit was organized, Mr. Moses Siloko Siasia, in his opening remark noted that the greatest contributory factor to the growth in Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is a collection of the committed efforts from young people.
