Project: AQUA CARE - RECYCLING WASTEWATER IS SAVING FRESH WATER
The second largest CONTAMINATION of Ground Water comes from SEPTIC SYSTEMS. The AQUA CARE METHOD describes an ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY Sewage Treatment System, which functions, in addition to the conventional septic method, without the need for leaching fields, therefore, avoiding the contamination of soils and 'RUNOFFS' into rivers, lakes and the sea.
This METHOD was developed by Professional Engineers under the scrutiny and in co-operation with the Technical University of Hamburg - Harburg in Germany.COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS of AQUA CARE range from specific user requirements based on density and wherever infra structure for a central grid is not viable. New Housing Developments can be served on a block-by block basis, cost effective up to 300 heads / block. An equal cost advantage applies to temporary workers accommodations, as well as refugee housing. A German company could deliver finished product units within 3 to 4 months from FUNDING for a total estimated budget of US$ 6 M for a 5-year term of operation.

Each “set up “translates into eight (8) categories of sustainable employment: MANAGEMENT, PLANNING, PARTS PROCUREMENT, MANUFACTURING, ASSEMBLY DISTRIBUTION INSTALLATION SERVICE & MAINTENANCE.While Germany has all necessary infra structure with support facilities, as well as competitive products, AQUA SCARE has proven to be less expensive in every way, in addition to better recycled water quality (above 98 % improvements).
AFRICA: Given the massive re-construction and housing development objective of most of Africa's Developing Countries, for AQUA SCARE based on population and territory largess, will protect the environment for future generations, while creating sustainable employment in a very short time. NIGERIA: 1 000 000 Housing Units / Year – for the next 10 years. ( Aqua Care will support housing projects in Nigeria.

Private Limited Company (Ltd) in Nigeria. ( As part of local content policy of the government)
A private limited company is a legal entity in it own right, separate from those who own it, the share holders. The limited liability and simplicity of running the private limited company makes it the most common of registered business in Nigeria. As a shareholder of a private limited company, the shareholders personal possessions remain separate (unless they are secured against the business for borrowing), and the shareholders risk is reduced to only the money they have invested in the company and any shares the shareholder holds which has not be paid for.
Limited liability companies are also considered prestigious by other companies and the general public due to its legitimate nature and the way important information is recorded at the Corporate Affairs Commission. Anyone wishing to do businesses with a limited liability company can verify who is connected to the company and also the financial status of the company by paying the Corporate Affairs Commission a small fee. The level of transparency is very beneficial in terms of build public confidence in the company.
The very minimum requirements are:
- The company must have a registered office in Nigeria
- The company name must not be exactly identical to any other company name currently held in the registry of the Corporate Affairs Commission.
- At least twenty five percent of the authorised shares must be allotted at incorporation.(50 million naira ($150 000)
- At least two people above the age of 18 must subscribe to the memorandum and articles of association.
- The total number of members in a private limited company must not exceed 50, not including those who are bona fide in the employment of the company.
- The authorised share capital shall not be less than 50,000 million naira.
Gold is associated with the northwest, central and southwest regions of Nigeria, although there are smaller occurrences beyond these major areas. The preliminary exploration and identification of deposits which is still ongoing, has confirmed ten sites to be holding reserves of over 600,000 ounces of high quality gold. Till date, over 30 licences have been issued to cooperative societies and companies for mining of gold in the country. Most of the concessions are still at the exploration stage. The recognition of the above minerals as priority is not a definite indication of the non-commerciality of other minerals. Other non-priority minerals have been discovered in commercial quantities across Nigeria. For example, a unique and high grade deposit of Nikel (native nickel appearing in sizes of up to 5 mm, at about 90% pure nickel) was discovered in Kaduna State, one of the states in the northern region of Nigeria, by Comet Minerals - a private Australian mining company. The total deposit / reserves at this site is estimated to be over 40 million metric tonnes.
A mining title can be granted to an individual, a company or a co-operative. The grant of exploration licence or mining lease could be by competitive bidding or on individual request. In a competitive bid, the government consolidates various mineral locations into blocks, and offer the blocks for sale to all investors with sufficient financial and technical capabilities to carry on mining operations.
The bidding procedure will normally include:
• An advertisement in both local and international media
• Data room due diligence process
• Receiving Expression of Interest (EOI)
• Selection of preferred investor
• Communication of selected investors to the National Assembly Committee on Solid Minerals.
• Offer of the mineral title.
Reconnaissance permits (RP) This permit is awarded to individuals, incorporated companies and mining co-operatives. Its duration is for one year and is renewable annually. The permit confers on the holder the non-exclusive right to search for mineral resources and the area covered is not limited. However, drilling and other subsurface activities are not permitted.
4.2 Exploration Licence (EL) The licence is awarded to incorporated companies, mining co-operatives and holders of RP in respect of a mining area. This has a duration of 3 years, renewable for 2 further periods of 2 years each (i.e., it shall not exceed 7 years).
It confers on the holder the right to explore [discover, determine the characteristics and evaluate the economic value of mineral resources] on an exclusive basis for all mineral resources within the title area (established zone only). The mining activity is restricted to specified minerals. The holder is allowed to remove, conduct bulk sampling and testing, export and sell mineral resources not exceeding established limits and the mining area is not more than 200sq km consisting of one contiguous polygonal area.
4.3 Small-Scale Mining Lease (SSML) The licence is awarded to individuals, incorporated companies, mining co-operatives and holder of exploration licence in respect of a mining area. The holder of the lease has the exclusive right to carry out small-scale mining operations [mining operations involving low-level technology or methods not requiring substantial expenditure] within the title area. The mining area is greater than 5 acres but less than 3 Km.
4.4 Mining Lease (ML) The licence is awarded to an incorporated company or any legal entity that has met the conditions for the issuance, in respect of a subject area of application, holders of EL and SSML. All mining leases are for 25 years, renewable for a maximum period of 20 years. The holder has the exclusive right to carry out all mining operations within the mining lease area. The land area is determined in relation to the ore body defined in the feasibility study and additional area for working of materials. The holder also has the right to market, sell, export or otherwise dispose mineral products from mining, and the right to use water, wood, etc found on land.
4.5 Quarry Lease (QL) The licence is awarded to individuals, incorporated companies, mining cooperatives and construction companies that need to extract minerals for own use and holders of EL. Minerals usually quarried include gravel, asbestos and gypsum amongst others. QL confers the exclusive right to carry out quarry operations within the lease area. The holder has the right to remove and dispose any quarried mineral specified in the lease. The quarry area is less than or equal to 5sq km.
4.6 Water Use Permit (WUP) Exclusive right to obtain and convey water and/ or occupy land for the conveyance of water. The permit is usually granted to holders of EL, ML, QL and SSML. The WUP is for the duration of the original licence granted. An individual or a company can make an application to the MCO for a licence to explore for a particular mineral of interest. The requirements for applying for a mineral title are summarized in the Appendix below.
4.7 Transfer of Mineral Title Mineral titles, with the exception of RP, are transferable under the Act, subject to the approval of the Minister and registration of the transfer with the MCO. Rights arising from a mineral title that are transferable under the Act can be wholly or partially assigned, sub-leased, pledged, mortgaged, charged, hypothecated or subject to any security interest. The approval of the MCO shall not be required for an assignment to an affiliate, where the obligations of the affiliate are guaranteed by the assignor or by a parent company. All mining titles are not universal in nature. A licence only grants approval to explore and produce the mineral stated thereon. If an additional mineral is discovered within the licence area, the licencee is expected to notify the MCO, and seek approval to explore and produce the additional mineral (except for designated security mineral).
BENEFITS OF PIONEER STATUS INCENTIVE
Tax holiday: This enables the company to make reasonable levels of profit within its formative years or initial period of expansion. The profits made are expected to be ploughed back into the business.
Tax free dividends paid during the tax holiday: Dividends are the returns payable to investors/shareholders of a company. These dividends are subject to withholding tax (WHT) before distribution to investors/shareholders. The WHT deducted from the dividend, reduces the amount received by the investors/shareholders. When a company has pioneer status, these dividends are not subjected to WHT. As a result, the investor/shareholder receives the full amount of dividends due.
Capital allowances and Tax Losses: Capital allowances are tax deductions allowed on the costs of a company’s assets. These deductions are granted in lieu of depreciation. They are used to reduce a company’s profits which may be subject to tax, thus reducing the tax payable. Where a company has pioneer status, its profits are not subject to tax, so it is not advisable to use its capital allowances to reduce its profits. The pioneer status provisions allow for these unutilized capital and losses to be carried forward. This way, qualifying companies are entitled to further years of tax relief when their period of pioneer status expires. This incentive is one of the many incentives available to encourage investment in the Nigeria. In order to take maximum advantage of this incentive, it is advisable that an interested company applies for this incentive when its profits are on the increase or when it anticipates that its profits will increase and would like to maximise the returns to investors/shareholders.
This is why we have set out plans to open the Parent Company – 2SAM22 in Switzerland because the corporation tax is 8.5% and subsidiary is 2SAM22 UK Limited. Short Term core business lines – Trading and Brokering of crude oil, other petroleum products and Liquified Natural Gas. Opportunities: At the moment from our network of contacts with the NNPC and Nigerian government are available allocations on CIF / FOB delivery on Bonny Light Crude Oil and LNG. The discount is very lucrative from the Federal Government of Nigeria. We have the opportunity of selling allocations belonging to some major players in the corridors of power and NNPC / Government in addition to 2SAM22 getting its own allocations on crude oil and LNG. Long Term core business lines – manufacturing and construction: We have the opportunity of building 20 000 TPD CEMENT PLANT because of abundant limestones that will last over 50 years in Nigeria. Construction of plant is about 950 million Euros from a German Supplier as requested by the Nigerian Government on BOT arrangement for a minimum of 15 years and we shall have as collateral sovereign guarantee and CRUDE OIL SWAPS AS COLLATERAL as the foreign reserve of Nigeria is over 33 Billion USD.
SUGGESTED ROADMAP FOR NEXT STEPS
Due to previous experiences with investor groups, it is important to focus on the following: -
1. Please provide a company profile of your company.
2. Please indicate what are the barriers to visiting the country to validate the documents?
3. Please indicate when you intend to visit the Country and a profile of your team.
4. Please indicate the proposed Investor’s capacity to meet the costs of these projects.
5. Please express your interest to engage.
6. The focus should be to pick up the letter of invitation – rest for discussion.
What are the Security arrangements for Investor Group?
The Army Commander in charge of Joint Task Force made up of 600 soldiers for the relevant state and the Commissioner of Police will provide security and all costs incurred by the Federal Government - not by the Investor. The security agencies are equipped to respond appropriately to social conflicts as and when they arise. Also, the Ministry is strengthening the operations of the Mines Surveillance Task Team to tackle the challenges of illegal mining. Security concerns are, therefore, not of the magnitude that should discourage investors in the Nigerian mining sector.
Illegal mining and community challenges: There are pockets of Illegal mining activities in some of the regions, with attendant risks and community challenges. However, with the enactment of the Mining Act, foreign investors with the necessary permits and licences are guaranteed unfettered operation of their legitimate business in the country. Furthermore, the Ministry is putting in place a framework for a single point of engagement with host communities, involving the respective state governments. The Ministry is also working with State Governors to revive the Mineral Resources and Environment Management Committee (MIREMCO).
What are the Flight and Hotel arrangements if Investor Group visits?
As PREVIOUSLY agreed, the Investor Group will meet the flight inspection visit to the country.
Aim is to visit the state and Cabinet, Community leaders and inspect site as per approved land survey and view all the respective title and license documents with respective Government agencies.
