Chinyere Okorocha, the Immediate Past Chairperson of the NBA Women Forum, has shared her admiration for Alhaji Aliko Dangote’s ambitious projects following a recent visit to the Dangote refinery in Nigeria.

During the visit, Alhaji Dangote personally guided the delegation through the Dangote Fertilizer Plant and the Dangote Petroleum Refinery. The fertilizer plant, recognized as Africa’s largest granulated urea fertilizer complex, left a significant impression on Okorocha. Equally striking was the petroleum refinery, noted as one of the largest single-train refineries globally, with a capacity to process 650,000 barrels of crude oil per day.

Strategic Digital Marketing Leader Ujah Martins Criticizes Premature Push for Energy Transition in Nigeria

post-image

 

Ujah Martins, a prominent Strategic Digital Marketing Leader, has voiced strong reservations about the current global enthusiasm for renewable energy and electric vehicles, questioning the relevance of this push for Nigeria at present. Martins contends, “I won’t be so thrilled seeing someone driving a Tesla in Nigeria right now because we are not ready for an energy transition!”

While the global community continues to applaud the shift towards electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy sources, Martins argues that Nigeria’s immediate focus should not be on these advancements. Instead, he believes that the country faces more pressing issues that demand urgent attention and resources.

Martins points out that despite the international emphasis on sustainability, Africa, and particularly Nigeria, is grappling with significant economic and infrastructural challenges that make the rapid transition to renewable energy seem impractical. He highlights that Nigeria’s GDP per capita remains around a modest $2,000, while the country’s debt-to-GDP…

By Bryan Hamman, Regional Director for Africa at NETSCOUT

 

 

Insurance clients today are more likely to consider a provider if it consistently offers seamless quotes, efficient claims processing, ongoing customer support and targeted communications. To meet these demands, insurance companies must safely make use of data and new technologies, or risk being left behind by their competitors.

 

Personalisation and optimisation are critical elements in maximising customer experience, both in retaining existing clients as well as attracting new ones. In this context, how are insurance companies using new technologies to better meet and service their customers’ expectations?

 

Part of the answer lies in cloud adoption and the use of artificial intelligence (AI), and it’s here that the use of ‘InsurTech’ – technology innovations to bring in savings and efficiency to the insurance industry model – is playing a critical role.

Anayo Nwosu: Insights from a Seasoned Banker on Forex Strategy

post-image

 

With the recent shifts in Nigeria’s foreign exchange landscape, Anayo Nwosu, a seasoned banker, has shared valuable insights on the evolving forex market, advising businesses and individuals on strategic financial positioning.

“The commencement of local petroleum product supply by the Dangote Refinery will significantly reduce the pressure on the demand for dollars in Nigeria. For a long time, Nigeria has spent heavily on importing petroleum products, which fueled the demand for foreign currency. Now, with local production, that demand will drop,” Nwosu noted.

Nwosu also highlighted the broader impact of Dangote’s operations on Nigeria’s foreign exchange inflows. “Dangote will not only meet local demand but also generate foreign exchange through exports to sub-Saharan Africa. This is a game-changer. The refinery’s reach covers West, Central, and Southern Africa, and it will control the sale of aviation fuel across the continent. It’s no surprise that…
