#NigeriaDecides2023: Final Results Of Presidential Election As Declared By INEC

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), on Sunday, commenced the last stage of the collation and announcement of the results of the presidential election.

A total of 18 presidential candidates contested the election which was held across the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, on Saturday.

The election was postponed till Sunday in some polling units in different states due to violence, logistical problems, theft of BVAS and other issues.

But the election has been largely concluded across the 36 states and 774 local government areas in the country.

Some states where the election has been concluded have finished collating the results at wards, local government and state levels.

INEC collation officers across the states are expected to present their final tallies at the National Collation Centre in Abuja from 6 p.m. Sunday.

State collation officers are expected to take turns presenting their results.

The INEC chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, who presides over the proceedings at the National Collation Centre, is the Chief Returning Officer of the presidential election. He will make the announcement of the final results and declare the winner of the election after taking the results of the elections from the polling units across the country.

INEC had announced earlier that the final collation would commence at about noon but was later adjourned to 6:00 p.m. on Sunday.

This year’s general election is the seventh since the restoration of democracy in the country. The previous elections were held in 1999, 2003, 2007, 2011, 2015 and 2019 respectively.

Described as the most keenly contested poll in Nigeria’s contemporary political history, this year’s ballots had 18 registered parties to be voted for.

However, four are considered major contenders. They are Atiku Abubakar of PDP, Bola Tinubu of APC, Peter Obi of the Labour Party and Rabiu Kwankwaso of NNPP.

To be declared the winner, a candidate must score the highest number of votes and at least 25 per cent of votes in 25 states (two-thirds of Nigeria’s 36 states and the federal capital, Abuja).

The event facilitated exchanges with local industry associations, distributors, and leading bubble tea businesses, with a focus on technology in tea production. It aimed to offer a fresh interpretation of Taiwan’s tea craftsmanship and mark a new beginning for Taiwan’s tea industry on the international stage.

On-site communication status

Two Memorandum of Understanding were signed on-site between the two industry associations to foster Taiwan-Singapore cooperation. This includes collaboration between the Taiwan Tea Manufacturers’ Association and Singapore Foochow Coffee Restaurant & Bar Merchants Association, aiming to promote Taiwan’s excellent tea products through Foochow Coffee Restaurant & Bar Merchants Association channels to Singaporean consumers. Another partnership was discussed between the Taiwan Tea Manufacturers’ Association and the Singapore Ku So (Shan Keng Thong) Restaurateurs Association, with hopes to integrate Taiwanese tea into Singaporean cuisine and promote it locally. Through Singapore’s vast food and beverage market and diverse marketing channels, Taiwanese tea is expected to gain recognition and approval from Singaporean consumers. The Taiwan Tea Manufacturers’ Association will continue to monitor the progress of substantive cooperation between the two sides, actively expanding the market landscape for Taiwan-Singapore tea industries and enhancing bilateral friendly relations and trade cooperation for deeper exchanges and integration in the agricultural and trade sectors.

Dr. Tung, Chen-Yuan, representative of the Taipei Representative Office in Singapore, stated “Taiwanese tea combines technology, culture, and various trends to create a variety of tea tastes. This event, named Cha’T GPTea, or “Gorgeous Premium Taiwan Tea,” embodies our tradition of tea drinking and represents high-quality tea.”

It is hoped that this business-matching and exchange tea event will deepen Taiwan’s presence in the Singaporean market and elevate the visibility of Taiwan’s tea industry in Singapore. The four Taiwanese representative companies will set up booths during the FHA exhibition period (April 23-26, 2024), where the Taiwan-Singapore industry representatives will engage in further in-depth discussions.

Checkout Top 10 Wealthiest Cities In Africa

The wealthiest cities in Africa represent the economic powerhouses driving the continent’s growth and development.

The 2024 Africa Wealth Report published by Henley & Partners highlights these cities as key players in Africa’s economic landscape, showcasing their prosperity and potential.

As indicated in the report, Africa currently accommodates a total of 135,200 high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) possessing liquid investable wealth surpassing USD $1 million.

Additionally, the continent is also home to 342 centi-millionaires, whose net worth amounts to USD 100 million or more, and 21 billionaires.

The report provides a comprehensive review of private wealth in Africa, including trends in high-net-worth individuals, luxury, and wealth management, as well as expert insights on investing in Africa, the migration sector investment, and economic mobility on the continent.

Number of high net-worth individuals in Nigeria, South Africa, and other African cities

The following ranking is based on the number of millionaires (in US dollars) living in these cities:

Johannesburg: 12,300 HNWIs

Johannesburg is home to the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, the largest stock exchange in Africa by some margin and one of the world’s top 20 exchanges. Most of Johannesburg’s top-end wealth is concentrated in the suburbs surrounding Sandton City Shopping Centre, which has been dubbed “the richest square mile in Africa”. In particular, the Sandton suburbs of Sandhurst, Hyde Park, and Inanda are all home to large numbers of HNWIs, as is the ‘old money’ suburb of Westcliff, which is located closer to the old Johannesburg central business district.

Cape Town: 7,400 HNWIs

Cape Town contains many of Africa’s most opulent residential suburbs, including “New World Wealth’s Prime 7,” which comprise Clifton, Bantry Bay, Camps Bay, Bishopscourt, Constantia, Llandudno, and St. James. The city is currently benefiting from the ongoing ‘semigration’ of large numbers of HNWIs from other parts of South Africa (especially Johannesburg and Pretoria).

It is also an increasingly popular retirement destination for migrating millionaires from Europe and the rest of Africa. Cape Town is on track to overtake Johannesburg to become Africa’s wealthiest city by 2030.

Cairo: 7,200 HNWIs

Located along the Nile River, Cairo is one of the world’s most important cities historically. It is home to more billionaires and more centi-millionaires than any other African city but ranks only 3rd by the number of HNWIs. Affluent parts of the Greater Cairo include Zamalek, Garden City, and Newgiza.

Nairobi: 4,400 HNWIs

East Africa’s economic engine, Nairobi is home to some of Africa’s oldest and most well-established luxury residential neighborhoods, including Karen and Muthaiga. It accounts for a high 48% of Kenya’s total wealth and over 60% of the country’s millionaires.

Unlike other cities near the equator, Nairobi is known for its mild and temperate climate — the city is located at an altitude of around 1,800 meters above sea level, which helps to keep temperatures there relatively cool.

Lagos: 4,200 HNWIs

Lagos is the largest city in Africa in terms of overall population and is home to the Nigerian Stock Exchange. It is also the base city for African multinational giants such as the Dangote Group and Zenith Bank.

The Cape Winelands: 3,600 HNWIs

Includes the neighboring towns of Paarl, Franschhoek, and Stellenbosch in South Africa’s Winelands region. The Cape Winelands have several luxury lifestyle estates that have attracted HNWIs such as Val de Vie, De Zalze, and Domaine des Anges. Also, most of the wine farms in the area are owned by ultra-wealthy HNWIs and centi-millionaires, who often retire there.

Durban, Umhlanga, and Ballito: 3,500 HNWIs

These neighboring towns on South Africa’s Natal Coast feature many of the world’s top eco-estates including Zimbali, Simbithi, Izinga, Brettenwood, Dunkirk Estate, and Hawaan Forest Estate. Lagoon Drive in Umhlanga is also very opulent, with luxury apartment complexes such as the Oysters, the Pearls, the Bermudas, and Edge of the Sea.

The Garden Route: 3,200 HNWIs

Stretches from Mossell Bay to Storms River on South Africa’s South Coast. Notable towns on the route include Plettenberg Bay, George, Knysna, Wilderness, and Mossell Bay, as well. as luxury lifestyle estates such as Silver Lakes, Mooikloof Equestrian Estate, and Woodhill Estate.
