BusinessU.S. Congress Recognises Nigerian, Onoja Atta Onoja For Economic Diplomacy by JoseDem(op): 7:53pm On Jul 20
As African businesses increasingly look beyond traditional markets to unlock new opportunities for growth, Nigerian business leader and international trade advocate Onoja Atta Onoja has received a Congressional Proclamation from Congressman Hakeem Jeffries, recognizing his contributions to strengthening economic cooperation between Africa, the Caribbean and the United States.

The recognition was presented during the Guyana Independence Celebration Committee of New York's commemoration of Guyana's 60th Independence Anniversary, bringing together business leaders, diplomats, policymakers and members of the African and Caribbean diaspora committed to expanding economic collaboration across regions.

The Congressional Proclamation acknowledges Onoja's more than two decades of leadership across shipping, distribution, marketing and energy, as well as his work promoting commercial engagement between emerging economies and the United States.

It also recognizes his contributions to international business development, his service on corporate boards, and his current leadership as President of the African Caribbean Chamber of Trade, Commerce and Industry (ACCTCI), where he continues to champion stronger trade, investment and institutional partnerships between Africa, the Caribbean and North America.


Positioning Nigeria for New Markets

The recognition comes at a time when Nigeria is seeking to maximize opportunities under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) while expanding commercial relationships with emerging global markets.

Business leaders increasingly acknowledge that beyond government-to-government agreements, sustained economic growth depends on stronger institutional collaboration, private-sector partnerships and investment facilitation.

Through the ACCTCI, Onoja has championed initiatives that encourage market access, business networking and commercial dialogue among enterprises operating across Africa, the Caribbean and the Americas.

Speaking after receiving the recognition, Onoja said: "The future of African prosperity will depend on how effectively we build trusted commercial partnerships across borders. This recognition reinforces the importance of creating practical opportunities for businesses to trade, invest and innovate together. Our shared history must now evolve into shared economic prosperity."


Recognition Beyond the Individual

Industry stakeholders say the Congressional Proclamation reflects the increasing global visibility of Nigerian business leaders who are contributing to international commerce through institution-building, strategic partnerships and economic diplomacy.

As businesses seek access to new markets and diversified investment opportunities, recognitions such as this reinforce Nigeria's growing role in shaping conversations around cross-border trade and private-sector collaboration.

Nairaland GeneralThree Crowns Milk Sustains Fitness Culture With ‘everybody Is Welcome’ Campaign by JoseDem(op): 12:24pm On May 06, 2023
Three Crowns milk, Nigeria’s leading low cholesterol milk from the stable of the No. 1 dairy company, FrieslandCampina WAMCO Nigeria PLC, has announced its readiness to sustain its acknowledged culture of promoting health and wellness among consumers and the general public across Nigeria as the brand has flagged off the seventh edition of its Three Crowns Fitness campaign.

It would be recalled that the 30-day Fitness campaign was established by the iconic brand in 2016 as a platform to encourage every Nigerian, especially mothers to live healthy lifestyles by cultivating healthy habits. Till date, the campaign continues to serve as a platform to help mums keep fit, while emphasizing the importance of a healthy lifestyle.

The campaign, this year, is continuing with the same tag, ‘’EveryBody Is Welcome’’ which it had last year. This tagline is for the purpose of driving inclusivity of everyone, irrespective of body shape, size, etc. It so resonated with consumers and the general public such that there was immense participation in last year’s campaign; and more of such is expected this year.

Speaking on the campaign idea for 2023, Three Crowns’ Marketing Manager, Chioma Otisi-Igwe, noted that the theme of the campaign, ‘’EveryBody Is Welcome’’, refers to a double speak of every shape, form and size of human physical build up as well all sexes”.

“The heart of this is to ensure there is inclusivity and position the brand as a cheerleader that motivates people as they work towards achieving their body goals to have a great health”, Otisi-Igwe said.

She continues, “Through the campaign, we intend to engage consumers with daily routines using unconventional work out tools to grow fitness in exciting ways”.

The campaign which is scheduled to hold from May 1 to May 30 will feature daily exercise videos tailored to suit different levels of fitness challenge participants, including the Newbie (Beginner’s level), Wannabe (Standard level) and Pro (Advanced level), based on their thresholds to exercises.

These videos will be deployed across the brand’s digital platforms (social media, WhatsApp and Telegram); and consumers are expected to recreate same, repost on their social media handles and tag the handle @3crownsmilk, using the hashtag #TC30DaysFitnessChallenge. Similarly, they can also share their videos directly on the WhatsApp and Telegram coaching groups.

According to the marketing manager, interested participants can sign up for the sessions via the Three Crowns website.

They can also join dedicated Whatsapp and Telegram groups for the campaign.
And, following the daily routines, participants will be sent meal plans, which will further help them to stay in check as they keep fit and stay healthy.

As Jacob further disclosed, for the duration of the campaign, Saturday sessions will feature different cardio dance exercises which will hold online across the brand’s social media pages and streamed real time.

These sessions will be anchored by Shedams (Creator of Nigeria's 1st Weight loss Reality TV Show - The Fastest Shedder) and other fitness influencers.
Also, participants will be engaged in different mini-workout challenges, such as Speed bounce, for a chance to win amazing prizes.

It is worthy of note that Three Crowns is the first milk brand to show care for mothers, while acknowledging the important roles they play in the family.

The brand recognizes that when mothers, socially believed to be primary care takers, are themselves taken care of, this directly and positively impacts the care they give to their families. The brand has thus given itself the patriotic task of encouraging women to eat and live healthy, thereby making fitness a lifestyle.
