The initiative will amplify NGX Group’s new brand identity and spotlight the growth potential of the African continent.

Business Post gathered that the virtual unveiling of the campaign on Tuesday would be moderated by popular broadcaster/compere, IK Osakioduwa, while Innocent 2Baba Idibia and Chike will serenade the guests.
