Nigerians Jobs First: PRCAN Hails Buhari on Executive Order
By Modupe Gbadeyanka
President Muhammadu Buhari has been commended by the Public Relations Consultants Association of Nigeria (PRCAN) for signing the Executive Order making it unlawful to grant visas to expatriates to come into Nigeria to render professional services which could be otherwise provided by Nigerian professionals.
PRCAN, the regulatory body of Public Relations consultancies in Nigeria, described the Executive Order as a valid extension of the ‘Buy Nigeria, Save the Naira’ campaign of the Federal Government of Nigeria, which a large number of government officials had treated with contempt.
In a statement issued and signed in Lagos by the association’s President, Mr John Ehiguese, and Publicity Secretary, Mr Israel Jaiye Opayemi, PRCAN described the Executive Order as “exceptional, courageous and an act of nationalism which puts our country first over and above the popular penchant of government officials for all things foreign, and particularly Caucasian.”
The association assured President Buhari of its readiness to play the role of Whistle Blowers in relation to the Public Relations and marketing communications sector, promising to avail the Presidency with the details of foreigners operating agencies illegally in defiance of the laws regulating the industry in Nigeria.
“President Muhammadu Buhari can rest assured of our support in this regard. We will compile the names and addresses of those currently operating illegally here against the extant law regulating the Public Relations practice in Nigeria.
“That law is among those you promised to enact and enforce in your capacity as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to protect businesses in Nigeria. We will make this task easy for you so that relevant government agencies can enforce the Executive Order and other extant laws,” PRCAN said.
Last year, PRCAN took up the gauntlet with Finance Minister, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, when news broke that her Ministry retained the services of a United Kingdom-based Public Relations firm to manage the campaign around Nigeria’s participation at 2017 World Bank Spring Meeting in Washington DC, United States.
PRCAN had challenged President Buhari to intervene by finding out if the Minister complied with the provisions of the Public Procurement Act in hiring the services of the said company without any competitive bid from other equally qualified Public Relations consulting firms.
The association also raised a poser as to whether the Efficiency Unit of the Federal Ministry of Finance signed off on the payment of the retainer fee allegedly paid to the Public Relations firm in question.
PRCAN had similarly condemned the Trade and Investment Minister, Mr Okechuknwu Enelamah, who had engaged the services of the same Public Relations firm Mrs Adeosun hired for an undisclosed amount of money to manage the ‘Ease of Doing Business Campaign’ of the Federal Government without any competitive bid involving Nigerian Public Relations firms.
PRCAN is legally chartered by a Bye Law of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) to cater to the interests of the consultancy side of PR practice in Nigeria. It currently has a membership of 51 PR consultancy firms providing services across at least 21 PR practice areas.

Breedjr Begins Faster Crypto-to-Naira Settlements
By Aduragbemi Omiyale
A crypto-to-naira payout platform, Breedjr, has embarked on an upgrade designed to deliver faster settlements and improved rate transparency for users.
Since its launch in 2025, it has successfully executed $4 million in total payouts, indicating its growing acceptance in the digital currency landscape.
The milestone and product update signal a strategic shift in Breedjr’s positioning within Nigeria’s crypto-to-naira market. The platform’s growth has been driven largely by high-frequency users generating significant transaction volumes, a trend the company is now leaning into as it sharpens its focus on this segment.
This evolution comes amid rapid changes in Nigeria’s crypto ecosystem. The country ranked among the top globally in crypto transaction volume in early 2026 and continues to lead in peer-to-peer trading activity.
Stablecoins such as USDT and USDC play a central role, serving as both a hedge against naira volatility and a key channel for receiving international payments.
At the same time, the regulatory environment has become more structured following the enactment of the Investments and Securities Act 2025, which places virtual asset service providers under the oversight of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), raising compliance expectations across the ecosystem.
Business Post reports that the company had to carry out the upgrade to satisfy a growing segment of users, including traders, freelancers, and recurring converters, who rely on seamless conversion of digital assets into naira.
With the enhanced experience, users can generate a receiving address within the app, view exchange rates upfront before initiating transactions, send funds from any exchange, and receive naira directly into their Nigerian bank accounts in under 60 seconds.
The latest improvements focus on speed and clarity, particularly for users handling larger transaction volumes.
According to the company, settlement times have been further optimised across supported assets, including USDT, USDC, and BTC, while rate confirmation is now provided before funds are transferred, eliminating uncertainty in the conversion process.
“For many active crypto users, the challenge is not receiving digital assets—it’s being able to convert them into naira quickly and with confidence, especially at higher volumes.
“What we are building goes beyond speed. It’s about creating a payout experience user can trust when transaction size truly matters,” the chief executive of Breedjr,” Mr Ikenna Eneje, said.

In his remark, the Managing Director for Wheat Milling Business, Mr Nitin Mehta, said, “This is a historic moment for us. To change the game, we must offer consumers a high-quality product at an affordable price. Mama’s Pride Soya Oil embodies that vision.
“After over a year and a half of rigorous product research and development, we are proud to deliver a product that meets the highest standards.

The Future of Entertainment: Why IPTV is Transforming Television Viewing
The way people consume television content has changed dramatically over the past decade. Traditional cable and satellite TV are steadily being replaced by more flexible and internet-based solutions. One of the most popular innovations in this space is IPTV, or Internet Protocol Television. This technology allows users to stream their favorite shows, movies, and live channels directly over the internet, offering greater convenience and a wider range of content.
IPTV is gaining traction globally because of its adaptability and user-friendly features. Unlike conventional broadcasting methods, IPTV does not rely on fixed schedules. Instead, viewers can choose what they want to watch and when they want to watch it. This on-demand flexibility has made IPTV a preferred choice for modern audiences who value control over their entertainment experience.
Another major advantage of IPTV is its cost-effectiveness. Many users find that switching to IPTV significantly reduces their monthly entertainment expenses while providing access to a broader selection of channels. From sports and news to international programming and premium movies, IPTV platforms cater to diverse interests without the need for multiple subscriptions.
For those interested in exploring reliable IPTV services, platforms like iptv provide a comprehensive solution. They offer a variety of channel packages, high-quality streaming, and consistent service performance.

In addition to affordability and variety, IPTV also supports multiple devices. Whether you prefer watching content on your smart TV, smartphone, tablet, or computer, IPTV services are designed to be compatible across different platforms. This level of accessibility ensures that users can stay connected to their favorite content anytime and anywhere.
Another key feature that sets IPTV apart is its advanced functionality. Many IPTV services include features such as pause, rewind, and recording options. This allows viewers to customize their viewing experience further, ensuring they never miss important moments. Moreover, interactive features and personalized recommendations enhance user engagement, making IPTV more than just a passive viewing experience.
Security and reliability are also important considerations when choosing an IPTV provider. Reputable services prioritize user data protection and offer stable servers to ensure uninterrupted streaming. Choosing a trusted provider like iptv can make a significant difference in overall user satisfaction, as it ensures both quality content and dependable service.
As internet infrastructure continues to improve worldwide, the future of IPTV looks promising. Faster speeds and better connectivity will only enhance the streaming experience, making IPTV even more appealing to a broader audience. It is clear that IPTV is not just a trend but a long-term evolution in how people consume media.
In conclusion, IPTV represents a modern, flexible, and cost-effective alternative to traditional television services. With its wide range of content, multi-device support, and advanced features, it has become a leading choice for entertainment in the digital age.
