LONDON (AP) — Brighton had most of the chances but could not find the net in a 0-0 draw with Brentford that extended the south coast club’s winless run in the Premier League to six games on Friday. It was a frustrating night for the home side and especially Julio Enciso. The Paraguay striker had a host of opportunities to score but couldn’t make them count. Along with Southampton, Brentford has the worst away record in the league with seven losses and two draws and it was easy to see why in this toothless performance. Brentford had an early goal from Yoane Wissa ruled out for offside and, although it came a bit more into the game in the second half, it failed to pressure Icelandic goalkeeper Hakon Valdimarsson, who made his Premier League debut eight minutes before halftime when Mark Flekken went off with a thigh injury. One bright spot for the home side was the return of winger Solly March. He came on as a late substitute to make his first appearance for Brighton since injuring a knee against Manchester City 14 months ago. The result leaves Brighton in 10th place with 26 points, one spot and two points ahead of the Bees. Arsenal was hosting Ipswich in Friday's other game in the Premier League, AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer

Historically, the industry has struggled with recurring issues, but we are confident that this approach will help change that narrative,” Cardoso stated. The Broader Implications of Compliance The governor of the CBN emphasized the wider effects of compliance on the financial system, pointing out that organizations that place a high priority on following regulations support stability and national progress. “A bank that prioritises compliance does more than protect itself -it strengthens the entire financial ecosystem. It directs financial resources toward growth, innovation, and prosperity rather than crime and corruption. Together, we must exceed standards, demonstrating to the public and the world that we are stewards of integrity and trust,” he added. Cardoso added that non-compliance has repercussions that go beyond fines imposed by the government. He asserts that problems like fraud, corruption, and money laundering threaten the core of the financial system.

A Vision for a Culture of Compliance The governor outlined a goal for Nigeria's banking sector to have a strong compliance culture. He emphasized that financial institutions need to be proactive in identifying and reducing risks in addition to adhering to legal requirements. According to Cardoso, boards and CEOs need to set an example by prioritizing compliance strategically and advocating for zero tolerance for violations, both in terms of policy and in actuality. He advised financial institutions to aggressively handle risks in high-risk locations and foresee vulnerabilities.

Fill in a short questionnaire Source: Legit.ngMax Verstappen will no longer start the Qatar Grand Prix from pole position after being punished by the Formula One stewards for an infringement during qualifying. The 2024 Driver's Championship winner blocked George Russell on the racing line during Q3 and forced the Mercedes driver to re-position his car to avoid a collision. The Brit described the incident as "dangerous" and prompted an investigation to be launched , with stewards concurring and punishing Verstappen for driving too slowly on his final preparation lap. When asked about the incident shortly after securing poll, Verstappen claimed that it would be "crazy" to drop him down the grid, after several other drivers avoided such punishment earlier in the weekend. "If they take this away, then of course it doesn't make any sense at all," Verstappen said. "We were all just driving slowly. I wouldn't know what I could have done differently. The fact that I have to go there is already very strange to me." "Otherwise, next time I'll just drive full throttle too and pretend I'm crashing everywhere. Then George should have just braked. I'm braking too, aren't I?" The rare one-position grid drop sees Russell move up a place, with the remainder of the grid unaffected, and wants a "proper race" in a dig at McLaren . Lando Norris stopped at the finish line of the sprint race, gifting team-mate Oscar Piastri the victory, but the Mercedes man is excited at the chance of back-to-back wins after finishing on top in Las Vegas. “Just excited,” Russell said. “Hopefully we can have a proper race rather than this team orders stuff. It’s going to be a good race. I think we’ll all be going for it. It’s actually great that Max is in the mix as well. “I was really surprised by their turnaround because they looked really off the pace yesterday, off the pace this morning, and obviously they were both in Q3 and Max in pole, so I think we’ve got a good race on our hands.” The FIA's full explanation for Verstappen's grid-drop reads: "The Stewards heard from the driver of Car 1 ( Max Verstappen ), the driver of Car 63 ( George Russell ), team representatives and reviewed positioning/marshalling system data, video, timing, telemetry, team radio and in-car video evidence. "Car 1 was on a different preparation strategy to that of Car 63. Car 1 was well outside of the delta and the driver of Car 1 explained he had let Cars 4 and 14 past. The driver of Car 63 claimed that he had adhered to the delta and did not expect Car 1 to be on the racing line. He stated that if a car was going slow in a high speed corner, it should not be on the racing line. "The Stewards regard this case as a complicated one in that clearly Car 1 did not comply with the Race Director’s Event Notes and clearly was driving, in our determination, unnecessarily slowly considering the circumstances. "It was obvious the driver of Car 1 was attempting to cool his tyres. He also could see Car 63 approaching as he looked in his mirror multiple times whilst on the small straight between Turns 11 and 12. "Unusually, this incident occurred when neither car was on a push lap. Had Car 63 been on a push lap, the penalty would have most likely been the usual 3 grid position penalty, however in mitigation of penalty, it was obvious that the driver of Car 63 had clear visibility of Car 1 and that neither car was on a push lap."
