Bye bye to the Naira as Nigeria set for new currency in 2020

In 2020, Nigeria will be saying bye bye to the Naira as its official currency, as it adopts a new currency called the ‘Eco’.
The ‘Eco’ is a single currency that will be adopted by West African countries as from next year as part of the sub-region’s greater structural reforms.
Here are 7 things you should know about the ‘Eco’ before it is officially adopted by the Federal Republic of Nigeria;
17 West African countries will adopt the Eco currency when it will be released. These countries are Benin Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Cote d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast), The Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Saint Helena, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo.


The Eco is expected to be adopted on the first of July 2020, but since the concept arose in 2003, the target launch date for the currency has been postponed several times: in 2005, 2010 and 2014. Countries in the franc region and other West African nations such as Nigeria and Ghana, which have their own currencies, have for decades debated creating their own currency, the Eco.
With the adoption of the Eco next year,
French speaking West African countries will ditch the CFA Franc, known as “Colonies Francaises d’Afrique,” which was established in 1945 and pegged to the Euro since 1999.
The official symbol for the Eco will be ‘Ec’.
According to reports, the Eco notes will
feature great African legends and showcase features of West Africa.
The official bank for the sub-region’s currency will be known as the Central Bank of West Africa (CBWA).
There is no official value for the Eco currency yet.
A specific launch date for the Eco has not yet been announced but it has been speculated that January 2020 is when the single currency will be launched.

TASUED matric & make-up test update!!!

*_On the issue of the* *matric and makeup test._* 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Firstly, conducting matric is a ceremonial function of the school. There is a reason why the matric day hasn't been held yet. And it is for the benefit of the fresh students, especially those that haven't paid school fees. The new regulation of JAMB is that institutions must forward the name of all matriculating students to JAMB at least, two weeks before the matric day. To get on this list, you must have matric number. And we all know that for anyone to have matric number, s/he must pay school fee. So if they had held the matric before conducting E-test, several students won't still be able to participate in the test and their admission would have been forfeited since their names wouldn't be recognized by JAMB. So we still pleaded for the matric not to hold yet so as to give room for others to pay up. You will recall that the University had to send SMS to those students that they must pay up t

I notice that some students are yet to be offered Admission by JAMB in which this is delaying them in submission of their Brown File. Why are you yet to be offered Admission by JAMB? *1)* For instance when  you register for JAMB you choose Economics or any other course but TASUED gave you another course,you are to do change of course on jamb portal;  without this JAMB won't give you Admission. *2)*  There are some that are yet to accept JAMB Caps and some are yet to upload there O level result  *3)* Some are yet to accept JAMB transfer, after accepting it, print it out and submit it to the Admission office at *(BLOCK F)* ,they will surely attend to you. With this am very sure that you will be offered Admission by JAMB. So I will urge those affected that they should make a move on this so as to meet up before the deadline! if possible they will extend the date for the  submission of Brown File do the necessary things now to avoid late submission. _I WISH EVERYONE

ENTERTAINMENT TALK ZONE After Naira Marley, Small Doctor Is The Next Biggest Street Act This Year – SEE WHY Posted by  MORAHBOSS   on Dec 22, 2019 20 Small Doctor may not be all up on your face on social media but the truth is, he controls the real street. His just concluded concert,  Omo Better Concert 2  held recently at one of the biggest Stadia on Lagos mainland, Agege Stadium witnessed a huge turnout of music lovers. If Small Doctor can pull over  25,000  music lovers to over-fill Agege Stadium for his music concert, it means the core street are still loyal to  Omo Better  music brand. Small Doctor Claims the Street Again Alongside King Wasiu Ayinde, Mr Eazi, Pasuma, Others At Omo Better Concert 2 (WATCH VIDEO) No other Nigerian artistes can pull this kind of huge numbers without using heavy radio adverts, television jingles and Billboards. Check the records. I think the only efforts made towards advertising the  Omo Better Concert 2  is the Banner about
