House of Reps Committee on Local Content Visits Zobis Cables Onitsha.

The House of Representatives Committee on Nigeria Local Content Development and Monitoring has formally commended Zobis Cable Nigeria Ltd., located in Onitsha, Anambra State, for its professionalism, innovation, and resilience.

During a visit on Thursday, the committee, led by Chairman Hon. Boma Goodhead, expressed deep satisfaction with the significant industrial progress achieved by Zobis Wires and Cable Nigeria Ltd., recognizing it as one of the emerging indigenous electrical cable manufacturers in the country.

Hon. Boma said that the visit reaffirmed Nigeria’s capacity to produce world-class industrial materials locally, capable of meeting the technical demands of the oil and gas, energy, and construction sectors.
She described the operations at Zobis Cable as a strong demonstration of Nigerian ingenuity, technical excellence, and a steadfast commitment to national industrial growth.
“As the Committee of the National Assembly, we are particularly impressed with the company’s strict adherence to the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development (NOGICD) Act, its deployment of cutting-edge production technologies, and its ambitious drive toward value addition and import substitution. The scale of investment here proves that indigenous manufacturers are ready to compete on a global stage if provided with the right policy support, visibility, and access to the oil and gas value chain,” Hon. Boma stated.

She further highlighted that this commitment aligns perfectly with President Ahmed Tinubu’s renewed national agenda for industrial transformation, particularly his directives on prioritizing “Nigeria’s First Goods and Services.”

The committee chairman also noted President Tinubu’s clear directive that all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies especially those in the oil and gas, power, and infrastructure sectors must prioritize patronage of locally manufactured goods and services.
This approach he noted is viewed as a strategic path to sustainable economic growth, job creation, and technological self-reliance.

Hon. Boma assured that the House Committee fully supports the President’s vision and will continue to provide the necessary legislative framework and oversight to ensure its full implementation across Nigeria’s industrial ecosystem.

“This visit is part of our broader legislative mandate to promote, monitor, and strengthen local content participation nationwide. Companies like Zobis Cable are sending a clear message that the era of dependence on imported cables and electrical materials is giving way to a new phase of Nigerian industrial self-reliance and homegrown technological advancement,” she said.

She reassured Zobis Cable and other indigenous manufacturers that the National Assembly will continue to provide legislative and policy backing to enhance local production, attract further investment, and ensure Nigerian products receive due recognition and patronage from major operators and regulators in the oil and gas industry.

“We commend the management and staff of Zobis Cable Nigeria Ltd. for their professionalism, innovation, and resilience. Their success exemplifies the spirit of Nigerian Content ‘Made in Nigeria, Trusted by the World.’ Together, we will continue working toward a future where Nigeria’s industrial capacity defines its economic strength and technological sovereignty,” Hon. Boma added.
Following the facility inspection, Mr. John Ezeobi, CEO of Zobis Cable Nigeria Ltd., expressed deep appreciation for hosting the House Committee on Local Content, describing it as a great honor and a source of encouragement to further excellence.
Mr. Ezeobi highlighted that local manufacturers have been working diligently over the past years to reduce the cost of cables, aiming to discourage imports.
“When imported cables offer little financial advantage, importation naturally declines,” he explained.

He appealed to the government for increased financial support to enable cable manufacturers to expand their capacity to meet both local and international demand.
“We need government assistance to access funding. Indigenous companies have the capacity to manufacture cables at scale, and with adequate funding, we can even eliminate copper imports. Many companies have the potential to source copper locally, which would significantly reduce production bottlenecks,” he added.

Regarding power supply, Mr. Ezeobi noted that while every manufacturer manages their power source, sufficient funding would allow them to generate electricity independently and fully power their factories.
He also emphasized that the committee’s visit would help raise awareness among oil and gas companies about the availability and quality of locally manufactured cables, encouraging them to buy domestically rather than importing.

“We are progressing steadily and are fully committed to satisfying our customers. We are continuously developing and expanding our capacity to meet growing demand. With ample land and ongoing construction, we are poised for future growth,” Mr. Ezeobi added.

Other top dignitaries that attended the event include Hon Odi Okojie, Engr Felix Omatsola(Executive Secretary Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board,)Hon Obinna Chidoka and Anambra State Commissioner of Commerce and Industry, Hon. Christian Udechukwu

Young Entrepreneur Builds Edifice for Parents in Childhood Neighborhood

A young businessman in his 30s, Mr. Ifeanyi Onwuachu, has built a state-of-the-art building for his parents in the same Onitsha neighborhood where he grew up over 30 years ago.

The edifice, a two storey white building is tastefully furnished with modern furniture and facilities.

Mr. Onwuachu said he built the house to express his heartfelt gratitude to his parents for their support and encouragement.

He credited their faith in him, even when the future seemed uncertain, for his success.

"Their belief in me pushed me to remain focused in my line of business, and having succeeded now, I want to make them proud," he stated.

The entrepreneur revealed that he deliberately chose to build the edifice in his childhood neighborhood to inspire younger people there. "I want to motivate them to know that no matter where they are, their dreams are valid," he emphasized.

Explaining further, Mr. Onwuachu said, "The main reason why I built this house for my parents within the environment I grew up was that I was born and raised here. Through the works we do, God increased us to be able to turn our parents from being tenants for a long time to becoming landlords. It's not that we cannot go and get them a new house in a choice location, but it's more like a motivation to younger ones who are growing up in hard times, thinking there's no hope. But in all things, you focus on God and continue to develop what you do. God can bless any man."

The housewarming ceremony coincided with the 62nd birthday of the matriarch and award investiture by Catholic Women Organization of CKP Parish Onitsha.

It also featured a Thanksgiving mass at Christ the King Parish, Onitsha, where parishioners rejoiced over the blessing of a new home for one of their own.

Kanayo Eni-Ikeh: Meet Man who Revived a Dying Firm into a ₦40 Billion Corporate Powerhouse

When the story of transformative corporate leadership in Nigeria is told, the name Kanayo Eni-Ikeh will surely feature among the nation’s finest. A quintessential business strategist and reform-driven executive, Kanayo is today celebrated as Anambra Person of the Month, not merely for his brilliance, but for his rare ability to turn adversity into advantage, and a failing company into a ₦40 billion success story.

With over two decades of distinguished experience spanning banking, asset management, corporate governance, and global marketing operations, Kanayo’s professional trajectory reads like a masterclass in leadership, discipline, and innovation. Having excelled in several top corporate institutions, he earned a reputation for performance excellence long before fate handed him his greatest test, the challenge of reviving a dying enterprise.

That defining moment came in 2019, when he was appointed Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Atiat Leasing Ltd, a company that, at the time, was gasping for survival. Morale was low, debts were high, and the books looked grim. Yet, rather than back down, Kanayo saw an opportunity to rewrite history.

Barely 3 month into his appointment, COVID-19 pandemic struck, shaking global economies and crippling industries. It was the worst possible timing for a company already on life support. But Kanayo, known for his courage and composure under pressure, turned the crisis into a catalyst for change. He restructured operations, re-engineered the company’s financial systems, and inspired his team with a bold new vision rooted in efficiency, creativity, and strategic diversification.

The results were nothing short of phenomenal. In just five years, Atiat evolved from a struggling leasing firm into a diversified financial and technology ecosystem with assets exceeding ₦40 billion. The company now plays a central role in lending and financing, disbursing billions to empower SMEs, while also offering innovative fleet management and digital financial solutions that have positioned it among Nigeria’s emerging corporate giants.

A proud symbol of this rebirth is Atiat’s new ultra-modern corporate headquarters, majestically standing in the heart of Victoria Island, Lagos. The building, a masterpiece of architectural excellence, mirrors the resilience and boldness of the company’s journey — a physical embodiment of how far vision and discipline can go in redefining success.

Under Kanayo’s watch, Atiat not only paid off a staggering ₦7 billion investor equity but also rose from years of financial distress to become a profitable and respected industry leader. His leadership philosophy — rooted in transparency, teamwork, and innovation — has inspired a new corporate culture that values people as much as profits.

Colleagues describe him as “a leader with the Midas touch”, one who motivates through action and leads with uncommon foresight. For Kanayo, leadership is not about titles but about tangible transformation — about leaving an organization stronger than one met it.

From near collapse to commanding strength, the story of Atiat under Kanayo Eni-Ikeh stands as a timeless testament to what visionary leadership can achieve. It is a narrative of grit, brilliance, and rebirth — and proof that with focus, strategy, and resilience, even the most troubled institutions can rise again.

Indeed, Kanayo’s journey is not merely that of a CEO who saved a company; it is that of a man who built a legacy of excellence, one that will continue to inspire generations of young Nigerian professionals and entrepreneurs for years to come.

Nigerian Company, Lumos Laboratories Wins €40,000 Protego Innovation Challenge

Lumos Laboratories, founded by renowned Nigerian scientist Ejikeme Nwosu, has won a €40,000 (over N65M) Challenge for its innovative project to convert plastic waste into interlocking tiles and bricks. This project, the Protego Innovation Challenge, aims to prevent marine litter in Nigeria and will involve training local communities in the process.

Ejikeme Nwosu, founder of Lumos Laboratories, Abuja, took to his social media platforms to announce the good news.

He wrote: "We are glad to have won the Protego Innovation Challenge! "In this challenge, we will be converting plastic waste into interlocking tiles and bricks in a chosen hotspot region. We will also train the local community on the process using our innovative indigenous solutions. This project is funded by the German government, and we are very grateful to them. We will do great justice to this all-important project for a better environment and a more empowered population".

The PROTEGO project is funded by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety, and Consumer Protection (BMUV, Germany) and implemented by adelphi in partnership with several organizations. Lumos Laboratories' innovative solution was selected ahead of several entries.

Recall that Lumos Laboratories won the Hydrogen Innovation of the Year award at the Global African Hydrogen Summit in Windhoek, Namibia, beating Namibian and US firms.

The company has equally been recognized for its groundbreaking work in converting human waste into hydrogen-rich gases and generating electricity.

Nwosu's work has earned him recognition, including being named "Anambra Innovator of the Year" and featured by former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo as one of Nigeria's outstanding inventors.

His innovative solutions have the potential to address pressing environmental challenges and promote sustainable development.

What could be best described a new chapter has opened for Nigeria’s financial services landscape, as Atiat Limited formally commissioned its ultra-modern head office in Victoria Island, Lagos, while also unveiling an ambitious growth plan tagged Atiat 3.0.

The unveiling, which held on Thursday, September 18, attracted government officials, industry players, partners, and invited guests, who witnessed the rebirth of a company that has grown from an automotive leasing and finance pioneer into a fully-fledged financial services ecosystem. The new strategy also proudly positions Atiat as more than a leasing firm, but as an integrated hub offering finance, insurance, technology, and mobility solutions under one umbrella.

This reporter gathered that Atiat company’s ecosystem is structured into three core groups and segments, comprising an automotive and mobility arm that oversees rentals, fleet management, sales, and financing; a financial services group that covers insurance brokerage, lending, and structured products; and lastly a technology arm focused on IT support, software development, and digital integration. It was further gathered that each of these segment will feed into the other, enabling cross-pollination of data and expertise to deliver greater value to clients.

Speaking at the opening, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Atiat Limited, Mr. Kanayo Eni-Ikeh, described the new head office as the “nerve centre” of the company’s future, designed to foster collaboration and accelerate innovation. He explained that the launch of Atiat 3.0 reflects the company’s determination to scale beyond its traditional space into a multi-sector platform capable of serving businesses and households across Nigeria and West Africa.

According to him, Nigeria’s youthful population and expanding economy present opportunities that demand bold thinking. He noted that despite the country’s position as Africa’s largest economy, millions remain excluded from financial services, while insurance penetration is still abysmally low. The new Atiat model, he said, was crafted to close such gaps by providing a one-stop platform where customers can access mobility services, loans, structured finance, insurance, and technology-driven solutions seamlessly.

While stressing that the new headquarters was deliberately designed to encourage transparency, teamwork, and customer-centric service, Mr. Eni-Ikeh maintained that the building, located at 161C Raufu Taylor Close, off Idejo Street, Victoria Island, represents more than physical expansion but a statement of intent.

“We set out to build much more than a new office,” he explained, stressing that “This is the home of Atiat 3.0, where technology, talent, and vision converge to deliver growth for our clients and prosperity for the economy.”

Looking to the future, Mr. Eni-Ikeh revealed that Atiat intends to scale its operations across Nigeria and into West Africa. He also envisioned a future where every entrepreneur, family, or individual, whether in Lagos, Ibadan, or Kano, can access financing, acquire technology to automate operations, obtain logistics support, and insure their businesses, all through a single trusted relationship with Atiat.

On his own part, the Chairman of Atiat Limited, Mr. Obinna Ufudo, described the new office as a symbol of ambition and resilience. He said the company was building not just another financial services provider but an institution positioned to stand the test of time.

According to him, Atiat is creating a connected ecosystem that empowers Nigerian businesses and individuals with insurance, lending, technology, and mobility solutions in one place. He further reaffirmed the Board’s commitment to positioning the company as a trusted partner for growth and success in Nigeria’s evolving economy.

Contributing, the Executive Director of Business Development, Ms. Obiageli Ejiofor, highlighted the practical benefits of the integrated approach, explaining that the new model would allow Atiat to leverage expertise and data across its portfolio for the benefit of customers. She noted that cross-pollination of services, from credit scoring to product customisation, would create new value and unlock opportunities for individuals and businesses alike.

In their separate reactions, some witnesses and participants at the event described the feat as a great milestone for both Atiat and Nigeria’s financial sector, while also expressing optimism that the new headquarters is not an endpoint but the launchpad for greater ambition anchored on innovation, integration, and impact.

Some of the guests that attended the event include Mr. Bode Olanipekun (SAN), Managing Partner, Wole Olanipekun & Co.; Engr. Adeoye Fadeyibi, Independent Non-Executive Director, Atiat Ltd.; Mr. Kanayo Eni-Ikeh, MD/CEO, Atiat Ltd.; Mr. Ayo Aderibigbe, Chairman, Baines Credit MFB; Mr. Olatunde Busari (SAN), Chairman,VFD Group Plc.

Why Telemedicine is the Future of Healthcare in Nigeria — 24Telemed Boss


Telemedicine has been described as the future of healthcare in Nigeria and the most reliable solution to the widening gap in medical access across the country.

This was the position of Mr. Dubem Odunze, Director of Project Management at 24Telemed, one of Nigeria’s foremost telemedicine platforms, who spoke in an interview to mark this year’s World Telehealth Week, observed globally from September 14 to 20 every year.

Raising alarm over the state of the nation’s healthcare system, Mr. Odunze noted that Nigeria continues to lose many of its best-trained doctors to developed countries in what is popularly known as the “japa syndrome.” According to him, the exodus has further strained the system, leaving vulnerable communities, particularly in rural and hard-to-reach areas, without access to qualified medical personnel.

“Given this situation and other similar realities in Nigeria's health sector, Telemedicine has become not just an alternative, but a necessity. By connecting patients to doctors remotely, it eliminates distance barriers and ensures that no Nigerian is left without professional medical care simply because of where they live,” he stressed.

Mr. Odunze highlighted the transformative power of digital healthcare, explaining that telemedicine allows citizens to consult with doctors at any time, from the comfort of their homes, without the costs and hurdles of physical hospital visits. He described the model as one capable of revolutionizing the sector, bridging inequalities, and ensuring more efficient use of Nigeria’s limited health workforce.

He particularly praised state governments that have embraced telehealth innovations, citing Anambra State as a leading example. According to him, through a strategic partnership with 24Telemed, the Anambra State Government has successfully established telemedicine centres in all 326 primary healthcare centres (PHCs) across the state, a development he said has significantly improved equitable access to doctors in underserved communities.

“This action has ensured that no citizen is left behind in the scheme of things as far as telemedicine is concerned,” Odunze said, while also commending the Executive Secretary of the Anambra State Primary Healthcare Agency and the State Commissioner for Health for their forward-looking policies. He noted that the initiative has already started yielding results by making healthcare more affordable, accessible, and responsive in rural communities.

Mr. Odunze urged other state governments to emulate the Anambra model by creating enabling environments for telemedicine to thrive. He maintained that the platform holds immense potential to reduce pressure on overstretched medical institutions, improve health outcomes, and redefine how healthcare is delivered nationwide.

“Telemedicine is the future. It is the bridge that connects patients with doctors wherever they are, at any time, without barriers. For a country facing the challenges Nigeria is facing in its health sector and other related sectors, telemedicine is truly the game changer,” he concluded.
