It's the first in sub-Saharan Africa and one of the three such cutting-edge facilities on the continent, with top prime global certifications for smart card manufacturing and it is based in Lagos, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, relished yesterday afternoon while touring SecureID company's premises, and affirmed Nigeria's extremely bright economic future, which he said cannot be aborted despite current challenges.

According to him, "the economic future of our nation is extremely bright. Yes, we have challenges today and they may look daunting. But let me assure you that these issues will be resolved. The march of this nation to its manifest destiny as Africa’s leading economic power will not be aborted. We are more than able to overcome."

An impressed Prof. Osinbajo said the Buhari Administration in "following the recommendation of the Presidential Economic Advisory Council, has determined that manufacturing will be our main focus in bringing about dynamic growth, jobs and exports. This will mean retooling our business environment for greater competitiveness, especially with the take off of the African Continental Free Trade Area agreement.

"We are rethinking our tax regimes, sorting out external and internal trade issues, getting our regulatory authorities; SON, NAFDAC, and even Customs, to see their roles more as business facilitators rather than policemen or revenue generators. Our environment must be friendly for local businesses first, foreign investments will follow enthusiastically."

Commenting on the efforts of the administration to position the country as a leading economic beacon on the continent, the VP also stated that the Buhari administration was ramping up efforts in improving the country’s infrastructure and digital space.

He said, “aside from the work we are doing with other infrastructure such as rail, roads and power we are committed to a plan of democratizing broad band connectivity. Our programme, which we have reiterated in our Economic Sustainability Plan, is broadband connectivity for all by 2023.

“The Federal Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy launched the National Broadband Plan which is designed to deliver data download speeds across Nigeria of a minimum 25mbps in urban areas and 10mbps in rural areas, with effective coverage available to at least 90% of the population at affordable prices by the target date. Broadband connectivity is as important as electricity in the digital age unlike electricity we do not have to make several mistakes before getting it right."

While commending the efforts of the founder and Managing Director of SecureID, Mrs Kofo Akinkugbe, Prof. Osinbajo described SecureID facility as a place of history, innovation and creativity.

He said, “This world-class manufacturing facility is reputed to be the first certified smartcard manufacturing plant in sub-Saharan Africa, the only smart card production and personalization plant in West Africa and one of only six on the continent and one of only 80 in the world.

"The facility serves 21 countries across Africa and is fully certified by major commercial card companies - VISA, Verve and MasterCard. SecureID has shown that this country can be at the cutting edge of development in technology and digital enterprises. The world in which companies like SecureID operates, providing comprehensive end-to-end payment, identity management and digital security solutions is one that thrives on innovation.

Continuing, the VP said, "the company has in these few years of her existence provided notable innovative offerings to the financial services sector, telecommunications, government, education, healthcare and private enterprises. Equally remarkable is the fact that with this facility, the company can produce all the payment cards, SIM cards, loyalty cards and the various identity management cards (residency cards, voter registration cards, drivers’ license and national identity cards) required here in Nigeria, with capacity to spare.”

"Congratulations also for your successes in getting the certifications that will help to meet the demands of customers, such as Global System of Mobile Applications (GSMA), Visa International, MasterCard Incorporated, Verve, Card Quality Management (CQM), and ISO 9001/2015 for Smart Card Manufacturing and Personalization of credit and debit cards.

"In particular, we must also congratulate SecureID for earning the GSMA certificate last year; this is a world class security requirement for SIM card manufacturing and personalization. Your rapid expansion is also worthy of commendation, especially as you have added a number of subsidiaries, one of which is the digital arm of the business: SID Digital, while the other is involved in transport payment infrastructure. This has put the company in good stead to provide services ranging from identity management to tax collection, school management systems, health management systems, digital cards for the banks and, of course, e-ticketing for all forms of transportation, including road, rail and water."

Speaking earlier at the event, the founder of SecureID, Mrs. Kofo Akinkugbe, highlighted the significance of the Vice President's visit, noting that the VP has come to see some of the much-touted potential being realized. She added that SecureID was a good entrepreneurial story of an abiding faith in God and the nation, proving the viability of investing and staying in the course.

Akinkugbe commended the federal government for establishing institutions and agencies to support and encouraged start-ups, MSMEs and other enterprises that had offered assistance to the company.

In his remarks, the representative of the Bank of Industry, its Executive Director, Mr. Simon Araronu, said he was excited to partner with SecureID, being a pioneer of world-class status in the industry, as well as making world class products, while generating foreign exchange earnings and creating jobs.

Others who spoke at the event were the Corps Marshall, Federal Road Safety Corps, Boboye Oyeyemi; Deputy Managing Director, First Bank of Nigeria, Mr. Gbenga Shobo.

The representative of the Governor of Lagos State, His Lordship, the Anglican Bishop of Lagos State, Bishop Humphrey Olumakaiye, alongside other top government functionaries, also attended the event.

Accompanying the Vice President were the Minister of State, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Zubairu Dada; Deputy Chief of Staff to the President, Office of the Vice President, Mr. Ade Ipaye; and the Economic Adviser to the President in the Office of the Vice President, Ambassador. Dr. Adeyemi Dipeolu.

Oshibandit must think he is talking to volunteer retãrds like the members of his flock back in Lagos...all those idìots who have willingly surrendered their brains, their freewill and their pocketbooks in exchange for the nebulous promise of eternal life in paradise

.

Humm.... As much as I like this Pastor Osinbajo, I so much detest his lies.

The economic future of naija is so 'bright' we need a pair of sunglasses

Uhmm see true Lies Abeg...Haba Osibanje with thiS current marriage?!

The man is better off as a Motivational speaker

This man should just go and rest abeg.. we've had enough of their lies

When intelligence bows down to illiteracy, mediocrity is on the alter of worship.

I Talk am

Osibande is losing his mind just like Buhari

TheRareGem1:
"The economic future of our nation is extremely bright. Yes, we have challenges today and they may look daunting".


The storm shall pass.

Something they have been saying since 1960

Which kind long epistle be this,this early morning wey I never chop. Op take time o.
If you want to earn money online check my signature. All you have to do is roll every hour to earn. My friend got 8k after two weeks

I just have to conclude that this man is very stupid, must he talk, Nigeria is in Agony, almost at war, Short people sometimes. Let me just keep quiet.

PYO is just a funny man. The future of Nigeria is extremely bright in insurgency, banditry, kidnapping, nepotism, ethnocentrism, religious cluelessness, political deceptiveness, corruption, de-marketization of Nigeria’s prestige, poverty, high cost of living, increase in tax, poor education, dying healthcare system, volatile political space, defaced international relations, unmotorable roads, etc

...even as investors are abandoning ship, small businesses are shutting down, unemployment rate is soaring and inflation is climbing, this guy comes out to say this?

I guess it just buttresses the point that politicians are "The Problem"

Only when the right set of leaders are in place. Not these demons that are there now.

Short Afonja lie lie fake pastor!!!

I SUPPORT ISRAEL

I STAND WITH ISRAEL

ISRAEL WE KNOW, ISRAEL WE SUPPORT!!!

Where is the brightness when there is poverty, hunger, unemployment, insecurity, kidnappers and murderers in the land, you people are great fools.

Mr lying pastor Keep fooling yourself and as a man of God you claim to be, learn to tell the truth and stop lying to the people.
No future for anything that is built on false foundation. Nigeria is not a country but a British brand managed by the progressive northerners.

F**k Nigeria

I don't know why this man that calls himself a pastor is so wicked like this.

He just releases statements anyhow to mock Nigerians or what?

That was how he said Nigeria doesn't need to be restructured.

He can deceive some people some of the time but he can't deceive all the people all the time.

Osinbajo is evil.

The day of reckoning is nigh.

He has never condemned herdsmen killings of his people or his boss's lopsided appointments or the genocide deliberately and systematically carried out against Christians by the fulanis especially in kaduna and the atrocities this govt has committed against the people.

He should just shut up and do himself some good. Nobody takes him serious just like his boss.

A VP that takes orders from people under him is here lying about the country having a future.

He should be more concerned that he has been sidelined in the scheme of things. He is just there as a ceremonial VP more like aso rock receptionist.

Aseh oro.
I swear all the people in this present federal govt are liars and thieves.
Imagine what this one is saying, future
Which future exactly? Or does he mean the American rapper?
As far as this so called country is concerned, even a blind should be able to see there is absolutely nothing to be positive about.
Nonsense government led by a compact bunch of thieves.

The only thing stopping it from shinning now are those wicked thieves who call themselves our leaders. We have all it takes

This Osibanjo is very disgusting
