Migo Gift Card

The Migo – Sell Gift Cards app is redefining how Nigerians and Ghanaians convert unused gift cards into instant cash — with the best exchange rates, bank-level security, and payments delivered in minutes.

Migo, a leading fintech platform in West Africa, today announced a major expansion of its gift card trading services, positioning itself as the definitive solution for Nigerians and Ghanaians seeking to sell gift cards for cash at the best available market rates. The platform now supports over 50 gift card brands — including Apple Gift Card, Amazon Gift Card, Go2Bank Gift Card, Google Play Gift Card, Visa Gift Card, Steam Wallet, and many more — with instant payment directly to Nigerian bank accounts and Ghanaian mobile money wallets.

West Africa’s Gift Card Market Is Booming — and Underserved

Gift cards have become one of the most widely circulated financial instruments in Nigeria and Ghana. Driven by growing diaspora remittances, the rise of remote work, international e-commerce, and corporate reward programmes, millions of dollars worth of gift cards flow into West Africa every year.

Apple Gift Cards, Amazon Gift Cards, Google Play Gift Cards, iTunes Gift Cards, Steam Wallet Gift Cards, eBay Gift Cards, Vanilla Visa Gift Cards, American Express Gift Cards, Sephora Gift Cards, Go2Bank Gift Cards, and Razer Gold Gift Cards are among the most commonly received cards in the region. Yet the vast majority of these cards cannot be used for everyday purchases in Nigeria or Ghana — they are locked to US or UK retail ecosystems.

Millions of naira in gift card value go unused every month across Nigeria and Ghana because recipients do not know where to sell safely.

Until recently, those looking to convert gift cards to cash had few good options. Social media groups on WhatsApp, Telegram, and Facebook Marketplace were riddled with fraudsters. Unregulated local dealers offered unpredictable rates and slow payment. The market urgently needed a trustworthy, technology-driven platform.

Migo was built to fill exactly that gap.

Migo – Sell Gift Cards: Built for Nigeria. Built for Ghana. Built for Speed.

Migo – Sell Gift Cards is a mobile-first fintech application that enables users across Nigeria and Ghana to sell gift cards instantly, securely, and at the best exchange rates. Available on Android and iOS — and free to download — Migo has rapidly grown into one of the most trusted gift card exchange platforms in West Africa.

The platform was designed with a single mission: to eliminate the friction, fear, and financial loss that has historically defined gift card trading in West Africa. With Migo, the process of converting an Apple Gift Card to Naira, exchanging a Visa Gift Card for Cedis, or cashing out a Steam Wallet Gift Card takes minutes, not days.

Woodrow communications PR agency

By Adedapo Adesanya

Woodrow has been named Africa Agency of the Year 2026 by PRovoke Media, one of the world’s leading authorities on the communications industry.

The award recognises Woodrow’s rapid growth across the continent and its work supporting clients navigating some of Africa’s most complex communication, policy, reputation and stakeholder challenges.

In announcing the award, PRovoke Media described Woodrow as “a different kind of communications firm for Africa. Built locally, but operating across borders, with a focus on high-stakes, high-complexity mandates that reflect the realities of the continent’s political and economic landscape.”

Founded five years ago by Mr Charlie Tarr, who has spent more than two decades working across African markets advising various organisations, Woodrow has grown from its Nairobi headquarters into a multi-market African consultancy. It now has teams and partners across Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Zambia, Senegal and South Africa, delivering work across 13 countries.

Since 2024, Woodrow has more than doubled revenue, expanded delivery across more African markets and supported assignments that have generated global audiences exceeding 70 million people in multiple markets.

Speaking on the recognition, Mr Charlie Tarr, Founder and CEO of Woodrow Communications, said, “When we started Woodrow, we believed Africa deserved communications advice built for Africa’s realities, not imported templates. This recognition is a testament to our people, our clients and our belief that world-class strategic communications can be built from the continent and compete with the very best anywhere in the world. This feels more like a beginning than an arrival.”

Adding his input, Mr David Karega, Head of East and Southern Africa, added, “This award belongs to the team and the clients who have trusted us with some of their most important moments. From major launches and investment announcements to reputation management, policy engagement and crisis situations, we have had the privilege of helping them achieve influence. It shows that globally recognised PR excellence can be built from Nairobi and delivered across Africa.”

Woodrow’s growth has been driven by its local-first operating model, combining deep in-market expertise with regional coordination and strategic advisory support. It supports organisations such as AGRA, Bupa Global, BIC and a range of international foundations, investors and development institutions working across Africa.

Looking ahead, Woodrow is investing in new capabilities around digital influence, audience intelligence and integrated stakeholder engagement to help clients navigate the media landscape in Africa.

“Africa has never been a side conversation for us,” Mr Tarr added, “It sits at the centre of our work and future. The continent is producing some of the world’s most important opportunities in technology, investment, food systems, climate and economic transformation. We are excited to continue helping clients shape those conversations, build influence and contribute to Africa’s growth.”

Sachet Alcohol Ban: NAFDAC Targets Distributors, Retailers in Second Phase of Enforcement

Sachet Alcohol Ban

By Adedapo Adesanya

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has unveiled plans to commence the second phase of enforcement of its ban on sachet alcohol and small-pack alcoholic beverages, targeting distributors and retailers.

The regulator said it had completed the first phase of enforcement targeted at manufacturers, while plans were already in motion to begin the second phase of enforcement.

The agency began enforcement of the ban on sachet and 200ml PET bottle alcoholic drinks in January.

The enforcement, which generated mixed reactions, according to NAFDAC, was necessitated to align the country with global health standards and Sustainable Development Goal 3.5 on reducing harmful alcohol consumption.

The agency also said the decision was taken to ensure that children do not have access to alcohol and to prevent long-term health problems associated with its consumption.

Mr Martins Iluyomade, Director of Investigation and Enforcement at NAFDAC, warned at a news conference in Lagos that distributors and sellers found violating the law would face sanctions once the enforcement begins.

“We have finished removing the products from manufacturers, and we are now moving to the next phase, which is removing them from the market.

“We will investigate how these products are still finding their way into circulation and take appropriate action,” he said.

He emphasised that the nation’s law empowers NAFDAC not only to regulate the manufacture and sale of regulated products but also their use.

“The law gives us authority over manufacture, sale, distribution and use. Consumers should be aware that using products that have been prohibited also places them on the wrong side of the law,” he said.

The director urged market operators who still stock sachet alcohol and other prohibited products to discontinue sales before enforcement begins.

“We have given ample notice. Those who have invested money in these products should take steps now because nobody should accuse NAFDAC of economic sabotage when enforcement starts,” he added.

Mr Iluyomade, also Chairman of the Federal Taskforce, said that the agency would go after advertisers and online vendors promoting unregistered products or making unapproved health claims.

He explained that registered products could be advertised only after obtaining the necessary approvals from the agency.

“Before advertising a regulated product, marketers must obtain NAFDAC approval. This ensures that only approved claims are made about the product.

“Any advertisement that goes beyond what has been approved is a serious offence,” he said.

He further cautioned social media operators, e-commerce platforms and website owners against allowing their platforms to be used for the promotion of unregistered products.

“Whether you are a physical vendor or an online vendor, if your platform is used to advertise unregistered products or products without advertisement permits, we will come after you.

“Many false claims are being made online, and we are determined to stop them,” he said.

The agency reiterated its commitment to protecting public health through strict enforcement of existing regulations and urged Nigerians to comply with the law.
