When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable data as far as possible. F
categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation technique as
* Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
* Level 2: input other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the assets or liability, either
prices) or indirectly (i.e. as derived from prices).
* Level 3: inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
If the input used to measure fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorized in different levels of the fair
then the fair value measurement must be categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy
level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in Note XXXX - Financial ri
and financial instruments.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the statement of profit or loss, wit

gains and losses are presented within other income/expenses both in the statement of profit or loss .
Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rat

Financial assets
It is the Company's policy to initially recognise financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs, except in the
assets recorded at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) which are expensed in profit or loss.
Classification and subsequent measurement is dependent on the Company's business model for managing t
cash flow characteristics of the asset. On this basis, the Company may classify its financial instruments at am
value through profit or loss and at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Business model: The business model reflects how the Company manages the assets in order to generate ca
whether the objective is solely to collect the contractual cash flows from the assets or to collect both the contr
and cash flows arising from the sale of assets. If neither of these is applicable (e.g. financial assets are
purposes), then the financial assets are classified as part of ‘other’ business model and measured at FVTPL. Fa
by the Company in determining the business model for the financial assets include past experience on how cas
assets were collected, how the assets performance is evaluated and reported to key management personnel a
assessed and managed.
Solely Payments of Principal and Interest: Where the business model is to collect contractual cash flows, the C
whether the financial instruments’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest. In making this
Company considers whether the contractual cash flows are consistent with a basic lending arrangement i.e.
only consideration for the time value of money, credit risk, other basic lending risks and a profit margin that is
basic lending arrangement. Where the contractual terms introduce exposure to risk or volatility that are inconsi
lending arrangement, the related financial asset is classified and measured at FVTPL.
Based on these factors, the Company classifies its debt instruments into one of the following measurement cate
Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent so
principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. A gain or loss due to impairment or upon derecognit
asset is recognised in profit or loss. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income u
interest rate method.
Fair value through other comprehensive income: Assets in this category are held to collect contractual cash flow
there are advantageous opportunities. A gain or loss on a financial asset is recognised in other comprehensiv
impairment gains or losses and foreign exchange gains or losses in the year in which it arises. Interest in
financial assets is included in finance income.
Fair value through profit or loss: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or fair valu
comprehensive income are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on a financial asset is re
or loss and presented net in the profit or loss statement within other income/(expenses) in the year in which
income from these financial assets is included in finance income.
The Company reclassifies its financial assets when and only when its business model for managing those asse
changes are expected to be infrequent.
All the Company’s financial assets as at the reporting dates are XXXX and they satisfy the conditions for
amortised cost under IFRS 9. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12
reporting date which are included in non-current assets.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities of the Company are classified and measured at fair value on initial recognition net of dir
transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Fair value gains or losses for financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss are accounted fo
except for the amount of change that is attributable to changes in the Company’s own credit risk which is p
comprehensive income. The remaining amount of change in the fair value of the liability is presented in p

The simplified approach is applied to all trade related receivables while the general approach is applied to othe
cash and cash equivalents
The simplified approach requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the
involves determining the expected loss rates using a provision matrix that is based on the Company’s histor
observed over the expected life of the receivable and adjusted forward-looking estimates. This is then app
carrying amount of the receivable to arrive at the loss allowance for the year.
The three-stage approach assesses impairment based on changes in credit risk since initial recognition us
criterion and other qualitative indicators such as increase in political concerns or other macroeconomic facto
legal action, sanction or other regulatory penalties that may impair future financial performance. Financial as
stage 1 have their ECL measured as 12 month ECL which is a proportion of their lifetime ECL that results from
events that can occur within one year, while assets in stage 2 or 3 have their ECL measured on a lifetime basis.
Under the three-stage approach, the ECL is determined by projecting the probability of default (PD), loss given d
exposure at default (EAD) for each ageing bucket and for each individual exposure. The PD is based on default
by external rating agencies for the counterparties. The LGD is determined based on management’s estimate
recoveries after considering the historical pattern of the receivable, and it assesses the portion of the outsta
that is deemed to be irrecoverable at the reporting year. The EAD is the total amount of outstanding receivable
year. These three components are multiplied together and adjusted for forward looking information, to arrive a
then discounted back to the reporting date and summed. The discount rate used in the ECL calculation is the
interest rate or an approximation thereof.
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amou
financial assets and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss.
Furthermore, financial assets that have been identified to be more than 30 days past due on contractual payme
to have experienced significant increase in credit risk. These assets are classified as part of Stage 2 financial
three-stage approach is applied.
Financial assets are defined to be in default when contractual payments have not been received at least 9
contractual payment year. Subsequent to default, the Company carries out active recovery strategies to recov
payments due on receivables. Where the Company determines that there are no realistic prospects of recov
assets and any related loss allowances are written off either partially or in full.

(d) Derecognition
Financial assets
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial ass
when it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition. Gains or losses on derecognitio
assets are recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities
The Company derecognises a financial liability when it is extinguished i.e. when the obligation specified in the c
discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same len
substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange o
treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the resp
amounts is recognised immediately in the statement of profit or loss.
(e) Modification
When the contractual cash flows of a financial instrument are renegotiated or otherwise modified and the
modification does not result in the derecognition of that financial instrument, the Company recalculates th
amount of the financial instrument and recognises a modification gain or loss immediately within finance inc
the date of the modification. The gross carrying amount of the financial instrument is recalculated as the pre
renegotiated or modified contractual cash flows that are discounted at the financial instrument’s original effecti
The legally enforceable right is not contingent on future events and is enforceable in the normal course of bus
event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.
Property, plant and equipment comprise tangible items that are held for use in the production or supply of good
for administrative purposes and are expected to be used during more than one accounting period.
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Property, plant and
construction are disclosed as capital work-in-progress.
The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour and any other costs directly attri
bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use including, where applicable, the costs of disman
removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located.
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as se
(major components) of property, plant and equipment.
The Company derecognises property, plant & equipment from the statement of financial position on disposal or
withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposal. Gains or losses on disposal
property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amou
plant and equipment, and are recognised in profit or loss.

(iii) Depreciation
Items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated from the date that they are available for use or, in resp
constructed assets, from the date that the asset is completed and ready for use. Depreciation is calculated on th
amount, which is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost.
Depreciation is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of
property, plant and equipment which reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic bene

whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:
– the contract involves the use of an identified asset: this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and should be
distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substanti
right, then the asset is not identified;
– the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughou
and
– the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company has this right when it has the decis
that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. In rare cases where the decisio
for what purpose the asset is used is predetermined, the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset if

As a lessee
The Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The rig

before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle
underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives re
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement dat
the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of ri
are determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is per
by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the com
discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Compa
borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
– fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;
– variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the
date;
– amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and
– the exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payme
renewal year if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early term
unless the Company is reasonably certain not to terminate early.
The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when the
future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Company’s estima
expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of whethe
purchase, extension or termination option.
When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amou
use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zer

obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Restructuring provisions comprise lease termination pe
employee termination payments. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is d
considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with
one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligatio
rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation
the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
Contingent liabilities
Contingent liabilities are possible obligations whose existence will only be confirmed by future events not wholly
control of the Company. Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements but are disclosed. H
the possibility of an outflow is remote, the contingent liability is neither disclosed nor recognised.
Contingent assets
Contingent assets are possible assets that arise from past events whose existence will be confirmed only by the
non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity. Contigent ass
disclosed when an inflow of economic benefit is probable. Asset is recognised when the realisation of income is
in which case the related asset is no more contingent.
Decommissioning costs
Provision is made for decommissioning costs on dismantling the XXXX at the end of its useful life based on estim
by the contractors of the XXXX and industry practices. Provision for decommissioning costs is initially measured
capitalised to property, plant and equipment as an asset retirement cost. The liability is estimated by disco
future cash flows required to settle the liability using a risk-free rate. The estimated future asset retireme
adjusted for risks such as project, physical, regulatory and timing. The estimates are reviewed periodically
provision as a result of changes in the estimated future costs or discount rates are added to or deducted from
related item of property, plant and equipment in the period of change. The liability accretes for the effect of tim
until it is expected to settle.
The asset retirement cost is amortised through depreciation over the life of the related asset. Actual
expenditures are recorded against the obligation when incurred. Any difference between the accrued liabilit
expenditures incurred is recorded in profit or loss in the settlement period.
Foreign currency gains and losses are reported as either finance costs or finance income or other income depen
nature (See Note XXXX).

(g) Income taxes
Income tax expense comprises current tax (Companies' Income Tax, Tertiary Education and Nigeria Police Trust
deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or ite
directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
The Company had determined that interest and penalties relating to income taxes, including uncertain tax treat
meet the definition of income taxes, and therefore are accounted for under IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilit
Contingent Assets.
Current tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, and an
tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years.
The amount of current tax payable or receivable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or r
reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any.
It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date and is assessed as follows
* Company income tax is computed on taxable profits
* Tertiary education tax is computed on assessable profits
* National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) Levy
* Nigeria Police Trust Fund (NPTF) levy is computed on net profit (i.e. profit after deducting all expenses and tax
earned by the company during the year).
Total amount of tax payable under the Companies' Income Tax Act (CITA) is determined based on the higher of
namely Company Income Tax (based on taxable income (or loss) for the year); and minimum tax. Taxes based o
period are treated as income tax in line with IAS 12.
Minimum tax
Minimum tax which is based on a gross amount is outside the scope of IAS 12 and therefore, are not presented
tax expense in the profit or loss.
In line with the Finance Act, minimum tax is determined at a base rate of 0.25% of the qualifying company’s gro
franked investment income. The Finance Act defines gross turnover as the gross inflow of economic benefits (ca
receivables and other assets) arising from the operating activities of a Company, including sales of goods, suppl
receipt of interest, rents, royalties or dividends.
Where the minimum tax charge is higher than the Company Income Tax (CIT), a hybrid tax situation exists. In th
CIT is recognised in the income tax expense line in the profit or loss and the excess amount is presented above
line as minimum tax.
The Company offsets the tax assets arising from withholding tax (WHT) credits and current tax liabilities if, and
has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts, and intends either to settle on a net basis, or t
asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The tax asset is reviewed at each reporting date and written down
it is no longer probable that future economic benefit would be realised.
NASENI Levy
The National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) Act Cap N3 LFN 2004 (“the Act”) of 19
imposes a levy of 0.25% of profits before tax of commercial companies and firms with turnovers of N100,000,00
sectors, including banking, telecommunications, ICT, aviation, maritime, and oil and gas.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax ba
liabilities shown on the statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if th
following situations: the initial recognition of goodwill; or the initial recognition of assets and liabilities that affec

of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the statemen
position date.
A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be availab
the asset can be utilised.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differen
that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Future taxable pro
determined based on the reversal of relevant taxable temporary differences. If the amount of taxable temporary
insufficient to recognise a deferred tax asset in full, then future taxable profits, adjusted for reversals of existing
differences, are considered, based on the business plans approved by the board for the Company.
Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer p
related tax benefit will be realised; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable
Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent tha
probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they r
rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax reflects the t
that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the
of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets
