The iconic sizzle of flame-grilled burgers and the promise of an extraordinary dining experience have officially landed in Ibadan, as Burger King strategically enters the dynamic market of this historic city. This exciting fusion of global excellence and local charm unfolds against the vibrant cultural backdrop of Ibadan.

Market research and a careful analysis of demand played a pivotal role in the momentous decision to situate the new Burger King outlet at Mobile junction, Ring Road, Oluyole area of Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State.

Also serving as a vibrant backdrop for a colorful ceremony, the event attracted a large turnout of first-time customers who were dazzled by the flavorful and delectable burgers, along with the quality of service they received.

Shortly after the official commissioning, Honorable Ademola Ojo, the Commissioner for Trade, Industry, Investment, and Cooperatives in Oyo State, who toured the facility, shared his impressions, declaring Burger King as “one of the best establishments we can have in Ibadan.”

Represented by Mr. Olawale Olanrewaju, an assistant director in the ministry, the commissioner announced the state government’s commitment to creating a conducive business environment for Burger King in Oyo State. He highlighted that the government was not imposing taxes on consumption (food and restaurant services) to attract more investors to the region. The Honorable also reaffirmed the government’s dedication to supporting Burger King and fostering a business-friendly atmosphere for their growth.

Mr. Rushdi Ibrahim, the Chief Operating Officer of Burger King Nigeria, emphasized the company’s unique selling points, including diverse pricing packages catering to all categories of customers and exceptional customer service. He stated, “We want to be a brand for everybody, not just a select few. That’s why Ibadan is our second city outside Lagos, and we have ambitious plans to expand further here.”

He went on to mention their commitment to meeting the diverse needs of Nigerians through a signature menu, a classic menu, and a budget menu, ensuring that everyone can savor the world’s finest burgers.

Mr. Ibrahim proudly stated, “We are delivering the biggest, freshest, and flame-grilled burgers; Burger King is renowned for this.”

Mr. Joseph Ekpo, the Chief Development Officer of Allied Foods, highlighted the company’s collaboration with neighboring communities to ensure the smooth fulfillment of its corporate social responsibilities.

Meanwhile, Burger King eagerly anticipates the unique opportunities Ibadan offers, as the city’s growing middle class, with increased disposable income, presents an excellent market for the brand. Ibadan’s rapid urbanization, mirroring trends in numerous Nigerian cities, has created a heightened demand for fast food, catering to busy lifestyles and a growing appreciation for global culinary trends. Moreover, Burger King’s arrival promises to generate employment opportunities for the local population, contributing to positive social and economic impacts.

The brand is committed to seamlessly integrating into the historic city’s local lifestyle. This includes language localization, incorporating the local language into marketing materials to make the brand more relatable. Pricing has also been thoughtfully considered, ensuring affordability across a wide range of consumers, including students and the working class, without compromising profitability.

This successful launch in Ibadan opens doors to potential expansion into other cities within Oyo State or neighboring regions, tapping into a broader regional market. However, the company’s officials have stated that these expansion plans will be contingent on the performance of the Ring Road, Ibadan store.

Therefore, if you’re in Ibadan and looking to enjoy the real burger experience then be sure to stop by No 2, Bisi Akande Road, MKO Abiola Way, Ring Road Ibadan or order online on 07004447777. Also, follow them across all social media channels on @burgerkingnga to stay up to date.

Like say they have any other choice than to confirm them before. Well now that they can officially resume their duties, let's see what they're going to do to turn things around.

Instead of you to ask him if his brother is capable of feeding extra mouth, you are here telling him he owe him nothing. This is the same self centered behaviour that made Nigeria remain backwards. If you can't help your blood brother in time of need, is it totally strangers you will have feelings for when you attain position of authority. This is what have been happening with our leaders, they have the same mentality of owning anyone nothing but themselves.

Will you say the same thing if the said brother got sick and his junior brother watch him die doing nothing? Do you ever think that the same brother might also need his help in future? Let stop this foolish selfish attitude to make our society works. The only person that should not help those around him are people that don't have the capacity to do so.

Well said my man!

One of the lowlife, brain-dead, herds.

Something beyond logic according to your dead brain such as someone getting in his coffin to slit his throat.

Logical ape.

Brother, stop cracking me up please

Artiiclebeast:
This is a very sad confirmation of the fact that most Nigerians are indeed dull, lack critical thinking, and only thrive on being herded like cows. What the fck?

Do you mean a body that's been enclosed underground for over a week is expected to be exhumed without the expectation of any body fluid seeping through? The illiterate idiots and cheap clout chasers can't even figure out a simple decomposition process..what a shame.

It is indeed true that the leaders and government that we get and have are a reflection of the citizenry and thus, very well deserved.

No one is allowed or expected to think differently or have differing views from the mob or else such one will be termed either a "hater, enemy of progress, insensitive, or jealous".

Majority of the youths who have been pinned down by successive failed governments and a raging level of joblessness have found an opportunity to trend on a "poor" dead boy's sad tale and want to use it as an opportunity to venge their frustrations by way of protests where they'll go destroying and looting people's source of livelihood.

The latest with them now and a very annoying one is hearing all the idiots coming online and on TikTok analyzing and saying all sorts of nonsense. Adults will come in to be fooling themselves that since the boy passed on they can't sleep because they keep seeing him in their dreams. Are you idiots okay at all?

What do you expect to see in your sleep when you are fixated and looking to milk a boy's death for clout all day due to your joblessness?

Disgusting to say the least.

Illiterates with access to phones and the internet.

Lol
What else do you expect from bunch of educated illiterates?

A 72 hour shift is insane. Nigeria is the hell they mentioned in the Bible. Everyone here is probably paying for the sins of a past life

This wasn't supposed to be funny but really cracked me up. You're a bad boy!

The fact is that Judiciary's treatment of presidential election petitions over the years has always been about avoiding political crises rather than giving justice to petitioners. From Obasanjo, Yar'adua, Buhari and now Tinubu, the worry facing the judges has always been the likely effect of judgement on political stability of Nigeria. Of course, financial inducement or any other interferences may not be ruled out but the mindset of judges is that all politicians are the same and none is worth sacrificing the stability of the country for. Interestingly, in spite of favourable PEPT and Supreme Court rulings in 2014, late Umaru Yar'adua accepted that the election that brought him to office was not free and fair and consequently appointed Uwais committee to suggest ways of strengthening electoral process.

For example in Tinubu's case, outright cancellation wouldn't have solved any problem because:
- The acting president who would have overseen new election is Senate President Godswill Akpabio who is dependable Tinubu's ally.
- The same INEC team that organized the cancelled election would have organized the new election and even in the situation that another INEC chairman is required, Akpabio would still have power to appoint.
- The IG of police who would have overseen the security during the elections would have been a Tinubu boy with 100% loyalty
- Same for security chiefs who would have done everything possible to retain their offices as Tinubu losing means loss of job for them.
In other word, ordering a new election wouldn't actually solved problem except create political crises apart from heavy financial burden on the treasury.

This is why It is important to make uploading results from polling booths mandatory part of the INEC's transmission of results to the collation centre. Otherwise, the current "go to court" shenanigans will continue.

What a shitty illustrations! LMAO
I wonder if y'all think at all before typing.

yemmit90:
For Nigeria to have beautiful and organised cities, the right to build structures or buy land must be removed from individuals. Real Estate or construction companies should be the only organisations mandated by law to do so. Flexible Mortgage system must be introduce by banks, government and other financial houses. We are just wasting spaces in the name of building individuals houses, a single condo can accommodate a whole street in some localities. Would it not make sense if 50 people buy a flat each in a building than making useless structured on 50 plots of land or more. No individual or family should be allow to own more than 3 bedroom apartment or duplex if you are rich enough.

By this development, it will be very easy for investors to invest in a massive modern buildings and condos. This will also curb corruption to a greater extent as most of the loots are being spent on properties.

Finally someone came up with a reasonable solution, others have just been complaining and lamenting. Let me bookmark this, you will be my commissioner for environment in a few years to come
May God spare our lives (Amen)

I wish CeeC would stop answering questions as regards Alex...

It's beginning to annoy me

Wave it off and talk about other things girl!!

Hey sexy! I don’t know if you’ve noticed but I’ve been offline for a while cos my phone is faulty. Managing to access Nland with the PC. Just wanna say I miss you
Will be fully back online soon as possible.

jmoore:
Your own is to insult, you can never contribute intelligently.
Egypt still pays fuel subsidy.

Lol
Sorry if what i said hurt your feelings in any way, just saying the truth. Truth hurts i understand!

P.S: Egypt stopped paying subsidy on fuel since 2019, same thing Nigeria should have done since.

Lol

jmoore:
Bla bla bla. Tell that to those whose discretionary income are being wiped off because they are spending more on transport.
Tell that to fuel pump attendants who have been laid off and are now unemployed because there is low patronage to buy petrol due to subsidy removal.

Y'all want a country that's perfectly working but not ready to pay the price, lol joke is on you lot! You really think a country can work while government divert money meant for other important things into subsidising commodities. I believe many of you talk with your feelings cos your knowledge of economics is zero.

Nice speech Mr. President!
If for some reason, you still hate this man even after he has shown he is after the proper development of this country since he came into power, then it's obvious that you're a fool!

Madam stop comparing nonsense abeg! How's business competition the same as a silly record breaking. Both hilda and dammy dey craze sef

Sir Jaga!!!

Steady259:
Dear comrade, under no circumstances should you be cajoled to marry this lady, trust me situations like this leads to a lot of regret and "had I know".

From what I understand by your post, you need to get up, man up, and double your hustle so as to accommodate future responsibilities...


As for her, you dint shed lights on why she thinks she is going to prison, but just assure her that despites all negativites surrounding her life at the moment, she still has reasons to thank God, so let her ignore the idea of suicide


In summary, help yourself before trying to help another.

Lol
You quote the wrong person sir

The Federal Government, on Monday, described as “unworkable”, a bill currently being considered by the National Assembly seeking to restrict the migration of Nigerian doctors to climes perceived to be greener pastures.

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, revealed this while fielding questions from journalists after the extraordinary Federal Executive Council meeting presided over by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo at the State House, Abuja.

Responding to a threat by resident doctors to embark on a five-day warning strike over perceived attempts to ground medical and dental graduates nationwide for five years before being granted a practising licence, Ngige said the bill negates extant Labour laws.

The PUNCH reports that the sponsor of the ill, a member of the House of Representatives from Lagos State, Ganiyu Johnson, had explained that the move will check the mass exodus of medical practitioners from the country.

The legislation is titled, “A Bill for an Act to amend the Medical and Dental Practitioners Act, Cap. M379, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004 to mandate any Nigeria-trained medical or dental practitioner to practise in Nigeria for a minimum of five years before being granted a full licence by the Council to make quality health services available to Nigeria; and for related matters.”

Reacting to the development, the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors announced plans to embark on a five-day warning strike, vowing to resist any guise to “enslave” Nigerian medical doctors.

They also demanded an immediate increment in the Consolidated Medical Salary Structure to the tune of 200 per cent of the current gross salaries of doctors, the immediate implementation of CONMESS, domestication of the Medical Residency Training Act, and review of hazard allowance by all the state governments as well as private tertiary health institutions where any form of residency training is done; among others.

However, Ngige said, “Nobody can say they (doctors) will not get a practising licence until after five years. It will run contrary to the laws of the land that have established the progression in the practice of medicine.

“The Bill in the National Assembly cannot stop anybody from getting a full licence. That Bill is a private members’ bill. In the National Assembly, they attend to private members’ Bills and executive Bills.

Executive bills emanate from the government into the National Assembly with the stamp of the executive.

“It is either sent by the Attorney-General of the Federation or by the President, but usually from the Attorney-General of the Federation. So, it’s not an executive Bill, it’s a private member’s Bill.

“That document is, as far as I am concerned, not workable. Ab initio, I don’t support it and I will never support it.

“As I said before, it is like killing a fly with a sledgehammer. They should think of other ways if they are trying to check brain drain, there should be other ways.”

The Minister said the five-day strike is unnecessary since the government was already engaging with the Nigerian Medical Association, NARD’s umbrella body.

“On the demand for a 200 per cent salary increase, the NMA is the father of all doctors in Nigeria and they have about four or five affiliates of which the resident doctors are an association.

“So, NMA is discussing with the Federal Ministry of Health, salaries income and wages commission and the Ministry of Labour, and we know that NMA has accepted a salary increase of between 25 and 30 per cent across the board for their members.

“So, I don’t know the logic by which people who are members of NMA are now coming up to say pay us 200 per cent increase.

“I don’t understand it. I have called the NMA President to contact them because, on the issue of remuneration negotiation, it’s NMA that the government deals with. So, I have told the President of NMA to contact them and we will engage them. They should not go on any strike, it’s not necessary,” he said.

Ngige also revealed that the Council approved the Universal Implementation of the Employee Compensation Act 2010 following a memorandum presented by his ministry.

He explained that the law is operated by the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund, noting that it will replace the old Employee Compensation Act also known as Workmen Compensation.

Ngige said the Council approved the ECA for universal implementation, “meaning that, apart from the private sector that is already implementing, the public sector, which is government; federal, state and local governments, have now to adopt this for the protection of their workers.

“The Act provides that the worker who is injured or had an accident or contracted a disease or disabled or dead in the course of work should be compensated, remunerated and even the family; pay something when the man is no longer there.

“It didn’t make provision for some of the children to be schooled or educated, up to the age of 21.

“So today is a good day for Nigerian workers because the decent work agenda that is contained in Convention 102 of the ILO has a major branch on what they call workers’ protection in the course of work.”

Nigeria has granted provisional approval to Oxford University's R21 malaria vaccine, its medicines regulator said Monday, making it the second country to do so after Ghana last week.

The approvals are unusual as they have come before the publication of final-stage trial data for the vaccine.

"A provisional approval of the R21 Malaria Vaccine was recommended, and this shall be done in line with the WHO's Malaria Vaccine Implementation Guideline," Nigeria's National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) said.

Malaria, a mosquito-borne disease, kills more than 600,000 people each year, most of them African babies and children.

Nigeria, the continent's most populous nation, is the world's worst-affected country with 27% of global cases and 32% of global deaths, according to a 2021 World Health Organization (WHO) report.

It was unclear when the R21 vaccine may be rolled out in Nigeria or Ghana as other regulatory bodies, including the WHO, are still assessing its safety and effectiveness.

Childhood vaccines in the poorest parts of Africa are typically co-funded by international organizations such as Gavi, the vaccine alliance, only after getting WHO approval.

"While granting the approval, the Agency has also communicated the need for expansion of the clinical trial conducted to include a phase 4 clinical trial/Pharmacovigilance study to be carried out in Nigeria," NAFDAC's director-general, Mojisola Christianah Adeyeye, said in a statement.

Mid-stage data from the R21 trial involving more than 400 young children were published in September, showing vaccine efficacy of 70% to 80% at 12 months following the fourth dose.

Data from an ongoing phase 3 clinical trial involving 4,800 children in Burkina Faso, Kenya, Mali and Tanzania are due to be published in the coming months.

Oxford has a deal with the Serum Institute of India to produce up to 200 million doses of R21 annually.

The first malaria vaccine, Mosquirix from British drugmaker GSK GSK.L, was endorsed by the WHO last year, but a lack of funding is thwarting GSK's capacity to produce enough doses.
