PRESS RELEASE
Our attention has been drawn to a story tagged: Aftermath of President Jonathan’s Failed Re-election Bid: Skye Bank Chairman, Tunde Ayeni in Fresh Mess on some online sites, especially Octopus News. We are quite surprised at this story, both because it is completely false and malicious, and because no effort was made to contact the Bank to confirm and or clarify the allegations before its publication, contrary to all known professional rules and ethics of journalism.
For the avoidance of doubt, Skye Bank is a public limited liability company owned by over 450,000 diverse shareholders, with sound corporate governance
structures and practice. The Bank has a full complement of 13 Directors, comprising 9 Non - Executive Directors, two of whom are Independent Directors, including a former Deputy Governor of the CBN. Dr. Olatunde Ayeni is a NON-EXECUTIVE Chairman of the Bank.
He is neither involved in the management of the Bank, nor does the governance structure and practise of the Bank give room for any director to use the Bank’s funds for personal purposes.
Equally important is the fact that Dr. Olatunde Ayeni is a private business man who has business interests in various areas of the economy including aviation, maritime, real estate, construction, financial services, ICT and the oil and gas sectors amongst others. He has had business interests in many of these areas before becoming the Chairman of Skye Bank.
He is also Chairman of several other companies, both quoted and unquoted. He therefore has both business and personal relationships outside of Skye Bank. Dr. Ayeni is not a politician, though by reason of his network, he has relationships with various people, some of who are technocrats, corporate players, and persons holding political offices across various political parties and at various levels.
As a private citizen, Dr. Ayeni is well within his right to utilise his personal resources at his discretion. Skye Bank did not support, contribute or fund any political party, and neither did it directly or indirectly support Dr. Ayeni to contribute to, support or fund any political party.
The allegation in the story is totally untrue and baseless. There are no concerns whatsoever about the safety of shareholders’ investment whether by shareholders, or by the Bank’s very keen regulatory overseers including the CBN and SEC.
The Bank continues to maintain its sound corporate governance and risk management practises that continues to ensure its strength and growth, and recently earned it the coveted ‘Best Bank in Risk Management’ Award by Conrad Clark in Association with Risk Management Institute of UK and BusinessDay.

SPECIAL REPORT:
SALARY OF NIGERIAN SENATORS.
After reading through this Special Report, any
shred of doubt in the reader's mind that Nigeria is
doomed and heading for a headlong, downward
plummeting will simply dissipate. The details of
the remuneration of an average Nigerian Senator
is detailed below:
* Basic Salary (B.S) - N2,484,245.50
* Hardship Allowance (50% of B.S) -
N1,242,122.70
* Constituency Allowance (200% of B.S) -
N4,968,509.00
* Newspapers Allowance (50% of B.S) -
N1,242,122.70
* Wardrobe Allowance (25% of B.S) -
N621,061.37
* Recess Allowance (10% of B.S) - N248,424.55
* Accommodation (200% of B.S) - N4,968,509.00
* Utilities (30% of B.S) - N828,081.83
* Domestic Staff (70% of B.S) - N1,863,184.12
* Entertainment (30% of B.S) - N828,081.83
* Personal Assistants (25% of B.S) - N621,061.12

* Severance Gratuity (300% of B.S) -
N7,452,736.50
* Car Allowance (400% of B.S) - N9,936,982.00
* TOTAL MONTHLY SALARY = N29,479,749.00
($181,974.00)
* TOTAL YEARLY SALARY = N29,479,749.00 x 12
= N353,756,988.00 ($2,183,685.00)
* EXCHANGE RATE: $1 = N162
LEGISLATORS PAY WORLDWIDE PER ANNUM
* Britain - $105,400.00
* United States - $174,000.00
* France - $85,900.00
* South Africa - $104,000.00
* Kenya - $74,500.00
* Saudi Arabia - $64,000.00
* Brazil - $157,600.00
* Ghana - $46,500.00
* Indonesia - $65,800.00
* Thailand - $43,800.00
* India - $11,200.00
* Italy - $182,000.00

* Hong Kong - $130,700.00
* Japan - $149,700.00
* Singapore - $154,000.00
* Canada - $154 000.00
* New Zealand - $112,500.00

* Sweden - $99 300.00
* Sri Lanka - $5,100.00
* Spain - $43,900.00
* Norway - $138,000.00
In terms of lawmakers’ salaries as a ratio of GDP
per capita, the gap is even much wider. While the
salary of a Nigerian lawmaker is 116 times the
country’s GDP per person, that of a British
member of parliament is just 2.7 times.
The average salary of Nigerian worker based on
the national minimum wage is N18,000.00, So,
the yearly salary is N18,000.00 x 12 =
N216,000.00 ($1,333.00)
Remember, Yearly Salary of Nigerian Senator =
$2,183,685.00.
Proportion: $2,183,685.00/$1,333.00 = 1,638
It will take an average Nigerian worker 1,638
years to earn the yearly salary of a Nigerian
Senator.

ReplyDelete@ Nikky, U wan kill me with laughter.... u really funny.
ReplyDeleteChurch (for PDP compound)don scatter now,everybody is denying funding Jonathan's campaign abi?smh!
ReplyDeleteWas it not this Ayeni dat gave 3billion and they were hailing him at dat dinner?now he has changed to deny totally!....truely failure has no friends.
Issorite, time shall tell abi reveal the truth. We are waiting and watching.
ReplyDeleteThat I can believe if not WHY should Skye bank Ikorodu branch on friday 27th march, 30th & 31st march of this month instruct their cashiers not to honor cheques above 50k! Incase you didn't read that right #50,000! If you came with a cheque of 51k you will walk out of the bank with nothing! Everybody thought it was a joke but they were dead serious na so I jejely walked out with my cheque after spending 3hrs arguing & swearing & sweating & for that period of time, their atms were not working (coincidence? I think not) this is in complete disregard of the 150k bench mark placed by cbn for 3rd party cheques. Why should they detemine how much am to be paid when I have a cheque bearing 150k?and they told us to go & bring cheques bearing 50k or below. It was ANNOYING!!! And the crowd inside the bank the said days no be here!
ReplyDeleteSomething fishy is going on inside that bank cos na so banks that want to go distress they do.
I really dont understand why people would go to the extent of carry false information. There was never a time that any cheque was rejected or returned in any of Skye Bank Branches.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe that the bank will fund the chairman's business. Tunde Ayeni get money o walahi. Meanwhile it is true that skye bank tells customers that they can't pay certain amounts...It happens when they are out of cash or expecting cash from CBN.
