0

MTN Nigeria has emphasized the importance of collaboration between it and the Federal Government in order to achieve the National Broadband Plan’s target of 70% broadband internet penetration in urban and rural areas by 2025.

Onyinye Ikenna-Emeka, MTN’s General Manager for Fixed Broadband, told Arise TV that the Federal Government’s Broadband plan, which specified the kind of internet speeds expected for both urban and rural areas- 25mbps and 10mbps, respectively- could only be realized through effective collaboration between the private and public sectors.

MTN Group’s Strategic Ambition 2025, according to Ikenna-Emeka, is in line with the Federal Government’s broadband targets.

According to her, the technology provider’s intention is to provide the appropriate level of effective digital solutions to fuel Africa’s growth.

Ikenna-Emeka, an internet connectivity expert, believes that for Nigeria to achieve its goal of becoming a globally recognized digital economy, the Federal Government, public and private stakeholders will need to work together to increase broadband penetration.

Healthy Heart, Pocket Friendly Edible Oil

0
Edible oil is a kitchen staple in many homes and choosing the right oil from a nutrition, affordability and availability perspective remains at the heart of consumer preference for any brand.
If your intention is to make deliberate choices to improve your heart health and lower the risk of cardiovascular disease through healthy edible oil, then your best bet is Soya bean oil.
Soya bean oil contains Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) considered as “good fat” for heart health. These PUFAs comprise Omega 3 and Omega 6 fats which are beneficial for your heart as they ease inflammation, reduce the development of heart disease, lower “bad” cholesterol, and boost “good” cholesterol. To help your heart perform optimally, your best choice of Soya bean oil is Golden Terra Soya Oil with 5x PUFA.
The type of edible oil an individual uses in cooking is important in the light of the prevailing cases of heart-related diseases globally, particularly in Nigeria. This is so because what an individual consumes and its impact on the heart remains very important to his overall wellbeing.
One brand that is currently driving national discourse and raising a community of consumers making conscious decisions on heart friendly soya bean oil choice is Golden Terra Soya Oil. The brand is not only doing this but it is prioritizing heart health for a wider spectrum of consumers across Nigeria by providing more affordable choices.
While many consumers are embracing the choice of Golden Terra Soya Oil for their varied healthy diets, many more will be getting ahead by making pocket friendly decisions with its new 700ml and 2.5L offer. At a time when consumers are becoming more conscious of their spending based on limited purchasing power, Golden Terra Soya oil reiterates that there is a pack for every pocket to meet their unique needs and preferences.
As you make plans for your next market visit, remember that there is a Golden Terra Soya Oil that caters to your pocket. By choosing the new 700ml and 2.5L pack sizes, you are saying yes to edible oil that offers you heart health, affordability, value for money and 62 percent PUFA intake indicating at least 5x more PUFA than Palm Olein, thereby making it the healthiest choice for your cooking.
According to Rachel Link, a registered dietitian with ussoy.org, “Soya bean oil is a common type of cooking oil that has been associated with several health benefits. It may help promote skin health, reduce cholesterol levels, prevent bone loss, and provide important omega-3 fatty acids.”
As you prepare for your next meal, feed your heart 5x PUFA with Golden Terra Soya Oil, the leading soya bean oil in the Nigerian market with its increasing presence across the country. It is 100% pure soya oil, totally sourced and manufactured in Nigeria. Families and individuals that use Golden Terra Soya Oil every day enjoy heart-healthy and brain-boosting meals that enable them to drive for the optimum daily.

Terraoil Prepares New Corporate Structure

New Structure to Provide Benefits to All Shareholders

STEINHAUSEN, SWITZERLAND – EQS Newswire – 22 August 2022 – Terraoil Swiss AG, an energy company with a strong focus on the Mediterranean is pleased to announce that preparations for a new holding structure have commenced which is expected to provide equal benefits to all shareholders.

After successfully receiving the ruling from the Swiss tax authorities, to support the transaction for all shareholders, as well the engagement of auditors in Liechtenstein we are happy to announce the completion of the first step. The new structure involves the establishment of a new holding company (Topco) in which all shareholders will be provided the opportunity to exchange their shares in Terraoil Swiss AG (TOS) for shares in Topco.

Upon successful completion of the share exchange the shareholders of TOS will become shareholders of Topco and it is the objective that Topco will finally own 100% of the shares in TOS. Shareholders will have the same ownership percentage in Topco as they held in TOS. The restructuring involves no transfer of assets into or out of TOS and TOS will remain the owner of the Petroleum Agreement for the Visoka field in Albania. Shareholders will be provided with further details about the next steps in due time.

Chief Executive Officer, Peter Krempin commented:

“We have been preparing the Company for the international financial markets since 2018. Macroeconomic factors delayed our plans but not our planning. We have now proceeded with the establishment of our new top holding company in Liechtenstein, a neighbouring country with financial markets embedded in the European Economic Area (EEA). The new structure will provide benefits to Swiss and international investors which we believe will assist the Company in realizing its financial and operational objectives.”
