Quotes

Lekan Akinyanmi, Chief Executive, said: "We have been extremely pleased with the positive response from investors in both the UK and the US to the Company's plans to take advantage of the undoubted opportunities in Nigeria for indigenous businesses. The Board believes that our transition to the public markets, and the consequent access to a wider pool of capital, represents an obvious next step towards our goal of building a multi-asset exploration, development and production business in Africa."
"We had some 280 applicants for the vacancies we are filling - such a response is gratifying. It shows how many people are willing to commit themselves to the effective regulation of the charitable sector. I am confident that our new board will be able to do just that."
"Cambridge University physicists will provide support for science teachers and online resources enabling many more state school students to succeed at university."
Karsou is encouraged by Sharansky's support. He hopes to meet with other politicians, from the right and the left, "to show to the Israelis that there are Palestinians with a different worldview; that essentially and intrinsically we are peaceful people."
