Harp Larger, a Guinness Nigeria brand, has announced a partnership with the 18th National Sports Festival, EKO 2012. The partnership was unveiled at a formal signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between EKO 2012 and Guinness Nigeria, at the organization’s head quarters in Oba Akran in Lagos recently.
Speaking at the signing, Mr Seni Adetu, Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Guinness Nigeria Plc said the partnership is one that will foster friendship and camaraderie throughout the games. “We are delighted to work with the Lagos state government towards the upcoming festival. We all know that Harp Lager is ’Best Enjoyed with Friends’ and so for us this partnership is one that will help push that message to Lagosians and Nigerians. We want to identify with the message of the festival ‘ignite the spirit of friendship’ and we believe Harp is best placed to drive that message home for us.”
Signing the MoU on behalf of the state government, Chief Molade Okoya-Thomas, Chairman, Marketing and Sponsorship Sub-committee, expressed gratitude to Guinness Nigeria Plc, makers of Harp Lager, for their support to the Local Organizing Committee and the Lagos State government. “This is indeed a great partnership we have gone into with Harp. It is particularly exciting because we are staging the first ever private sector driven sports festival. This partnership will enable us deliver on the objectives of the event which include the promotion of mass participation in sports from the grassroots level throughout the country and identification of talents for further development.”
The Secretary-General, Local Organising Committee for the festival, Dr. Kweku Tandoh, lauded the company for showing interest in the festival, saying, it was in tandem with the resolve of the Lagos State government to stage a public-private sector fiesta that will set the bar for other states in the Federation. “We are glad that Guinness Nigeria through its world-renowned brand, Harp Lager, has decided to partner the LOC and the state to ensure that we stage a successful fiesta and we hope other corporate bodies will also come on board as the kick off of the games gets closer.”
Guinness Nigeria plc has over the years sponsored other sporting activities across the country such as the National Division One League Handball Championship, Benin Golf Tournament and Kaduna Polo Tournament. Guinness is also the official sponsor of the Nigerian Senior National team- The Super Eagles, and the jersey sponsor of Enyimba Football Club and Shooting Stars football club through Dubic Extra Lager.
The Eko 2012 Festival is billed to take place in Lagos from November 27th to December 9th and will parade participants for a total of 28 sporting categories

Visa, the world’s leading payments network, yesterday announced that its client financial institutions in Nigeria have surpassed 5 million cards in market.

Visa celebrates this achievement as Nigeria’s banking sector moves towards its goal to replace costly inefficient forms of payment with more efficient, secure, convenient and reliable ways to pay and be paid. Year on year transaction volume on Visa cards in Nigeria has grown 70%.

The drive to make Lagos a cashless economy means that the adoption of card technology is growing at a rapid pace. While the number of cardholders is growing steadily, the number of places available to use these cards is also growing to meet increasing demand from the Nigerian consumer.

“Visa is ramping up local in-market presence to support growth in Nigeria and the push towards electronic payments. We are committed to providing the right in-market support to ensure we are fully catering to the needs of our local partners,” said Ade Ashaye, Country Manager for Visa West Africa.

The past year saw a 75% increase in usage of Visa cards at the point-of-sale in Nigeria. Introducing product features such as chip and PIN in Nigeria is part of Visa’s strategy to provide consumers with more secure ways to make electronic payments. “By employing more people on the ground and investing in local talent, we are playing our part in building capacity within Nigeria. We are also positioned to help merchants to understand the value of card acceptance and keep up with this increase in point-of-sale usage,” added Ashaye.

Innovation is key to Visa’s growth, and through investments in mobile technology, Visa provides the underlying platform for a number of the licensed mobile money operators in Nigeria. Visa plans to introduce in the latest mobile money features in Nigeria to ensure local mobile money customers can participate in the newest payments ecosystem.

Electronic payments are critical to development of a strong, modern economy. Visa products can promote transparency and accountability, reduce transaction costs and decrease the size of the gray or informal economy, all of which helps to stimulate economic growth and employment. A growing acceptance infrastructure also gives merchants access to millions of consumers worldwide, guarantees payment for goods and services, and enhances the point-of-sale experience for their customers.

The stability of a banking system grows with each new consumer achieving financial inclusion. This in turn has a positive and lasting effect on the economy, social reform and government efficiency. “By driving both card acceptance and card issuance through our partner banks, we hope to underpin Nigeria’s efforts to achieve these goals,” concluded Ashaye.

A 2011 study by Business Action to Stop Counterfeiting and Piracy (BASCAP) has put the total annual value of all counterfeit merchandise worldwide at nearly US$800 billion. This trend is predicted to reach US$1.7 trillion by 2015 if unabated.
In Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) the market for printing supplies is nearly 30 billion Euros and printing supplies are seen as one example of a growing international trade in counterfeit product which is posing serious implications for the world economy.
In a fact sheet released after a HP roundtable discussion held recently to discuss role of intellectual property (IP) as a catalyst for economic, social and cultural prosperity, the report said, “The trend is especially troubling in areas of the world where respect for patents and intellectual property could be improved. According to the World Economic Forum, Nigeria ranks 104th out of 142 countries in the protection of intellectual property rights. Within the East Africa Community (EAC), it’s estimated that counterfeit and inferior goods cost regional governments more than $500 million annually in lost tax receipts.”
The white paper reads further, “Innovation and creativity aren’t confined to the arts or sciences, however; they are also present in business. Global demand for patents rose from 800,000 applications in the early 1980s to 1.8 million in 2009, showing how important intellectual property has become to business.
Nowhere is this more evident than in the Information and Communications Technology field, where a company’s ability to compete - and the livelihood of the thousands of people it employs - literally depends on its ability to create new products and services and to protect its ownership of the same.
HP, for example, is one of the biggest owners of intellectual property, with a portfolio of over 37,000 patents. Many of these are held by HP’s Printing and Personal Systems Group (PPS), which manufactures not just printers and scanners but the ink and toner to supply them. Propriety HP toner and ink cartridge technology, backed by decades of research and development, has achieved an excellent reputation for quality that counterfeiters try to exploit with inferior versions camouflaged in fake packaging.”
Through its Anti-counterfeiting Program, HP actively educates its customers and partners to be vigilant against fake printing supplies. It also cooperates closely with local and global law enforcement to detect and dismantle illegal operations that produce counterfeit HP printing components.
Across Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) over the last four years, HP has conducted nearly 1,000 investigations, resulting in over 600 enforcement actions (raids and seizures by authorities) and nearly 8 million units of counterfeit products and components seized, thus preventing them from being sold in the EMEA marketplace and beyond.

The likes of makinde, oyedepo oritsejafor, adeboye and the sultan of sokoto are the biggest problems in this country. they are just fraudsters in disguise. endorsing every policy of the government in exchange for money and mopol men that follow them all about.

The ministers retained has done well so i support their re-appointment

if this is true, then i'm extremely excited. she is a thorough bred professional and she will surely sanitise that ministry like she did in d past. GEJ should give her a free hand and i'm sure she will deliver.

Bakare is obviously frustrated after losing the elections. he should go to hell

i visited their office here in Lagos yesterday, the admin manager said it was scam and that if there is anything, it ll have to come from Lagos. it's so disheartning, but we ve to bear and be more careful.
