Quickteller Paypoint Lagos QPPT Regional Engagement Forum

By Adedapo Adesanya

Quickteller Paypoint, a payment platform under the Interswitch Group, in a strategic move to boost financial inclusion, lighten the financial burden, and ease the process for its agents, has offered a substantial 50 per cent discount on the business registration fees.

The subsidiary recently hosted Regional Engagement Forums across major cities in Nigeria, including Lagos, Port Harcourt, Abuja and Anambra, themed Compliance and Beyond, The Road to Financial Inclusion and Empowerment.

Held at IBIS Hotel in Ikeja, Lagos; Tokyu Grand Hotel in Rumuomasi, Port Harcourt; 3 J’s Hotel and Suites in Abuja; and Soprom Hotel in Onitsha, the forums were specifically designed to assist Quickteller Paypoint agents who have yet to complete the mandatory Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) registration before the extended deadline of September 5, 2024.

At the events, CAC agents received on-ground support to facilitate their registration and also provided a unique opportunity for the Quickteller Paypoint team to engage directly with their agents.

Recall that the federal government through the CAC recently mandated all fintech and agency banking companies to register their agents and merchants with the Commission. This is in line with Section 863, Subsection 1 of the Companies and Allied Matters Act, CAMA 2020 as well as the 2013 Central Bank of Nigeria’s guidelines on agent banking.

Speaking at the event, Mrs Titilola Shogaolu, Managing Director, Interswitch Financial Inclusion Services (IFIS), during her presentation explained that by offering a 50 per cent discount on CAC registration, Quickteller Paypoint is not only helping their agents to meet the regulatory requirements but also empowering them to expand their business opportunities and build customers’ trust.

“We are mindful that meeting regulatory requirements can sometimes prove daunting for small business owners. This is why we’re taking proactive steps to support our agents. As a business which supports the development agenda of the government while also enabling the growth of the financial ecosystem, we understand the importance of regulatory compliance.

“It is on this premise that we are partnering with the CAC and offering our agents a 50 per cent discount on registration fees to ease the registration process and ensure the sustenance of their businesses.”

“We are committed to being an enabler in the financial inclusion sector, helping our agents unlock new opportunities, achieve their business goals and drive financial inclusion. We are excited about the turnout and engagement here today and we believe that by supporting our agents through initiatives like this, we are fostering a stronger and more resilient agent network,” she added.

The forums featured educational sessions and saw agents participate in Quickteller Paypoint’s promotional offers. Top-performing agents also shared their experiences and success stories, highlighting how the platform has been instrumental in achieving their business goals.

Interactive Q&A sessions across the various locations allowed agents to ask questions and get insights and direct responses from Quickteller Paypoint representatives. The forums equally introduced new products and updates, designed to enhance the agents’ service offerings and increase their earning potential.

The Regional Engagement Forums enabled Quickteller PayPoint to reach more of its agents and engage them on the importance of regulatory compliance, its benefits and offerings to enhance their business operations. This initiative marks a significant milestone in the company’s ongoing efforts to support and empower its network of agents.

Quickteller Paypoint says that as it continues its regional forums across Nigeria, it remains dedicated to supporting its agents in achieving their business goals and contributing to the broader financial inclusion agenda. The company encourages all its agents to take advantage of the subsidized CAC registration fee and the wealth of information that would be provided at these forums.

Sell Gift Cards in Nigeria Safely: Why Migo-Sell Gift Cards Is Becoming a Trusted Gift Card Trading Platform

Published

on

Migo Gift Card

As digital payments continue to expand across Africa, gift card trading has become one of the most practical ways for users in Nigeria and Ghana to convert digital value into cash. From Apple Gift Cards and Amazon Gift Cards to Steam, Google Play, and gaming-related cards, many users now prefer to sell gift card online to meet daily financial needs.

However, despite strong demand, the gift card exchange market in Nigeria still faces long-standing challenges. Delayed payments, unclear pricing, inconsistent verification standards, and increasing fraud cases have made trust the single most important factor when choosing a gift card trading platform.

Against this background, Migo – Sell Gift Cards is positioning itself as a more structured and reliable gift card trading app, focused on transparency, controlled verification, and predictable payouts rather than exaggerated promises.

Rising Demand, but Trust Remains the Industry’s Weak Point

For many users, converting gift cards to cash is no longer optional. While international gift cards are widely used for online shopping, subscriptions, and digital entertainment, not all Nigerian users can spend them directly within the local financial system.

As a result, redeeming gift cards for cash in Nigeria has become common practice. Yet user complaints across the market reveal recurring issues: hidden deductions, unstable gift card rates, rejected cards without explanation, and payouts that take far longer than expected.

Migo – Sell Gift Cards was developed after examining these weaknesses across the industry. Rather than competing solely on speed or headline rates, the platform aims to deliver consistency—clear rules, visible pricing, and realistic processing timelines.

Supporting High-Demand Gift Cards in Nigeria and Ghana

User demand in the Nigerian gift card market is highly diverse. Instead of limiting transactions to only a few brands, Migo – Sell Gift Cards supports a wide range of gift cards that are actively traded across Nigeria and Ghana, including:

Apple Gift Card, Amazon Gift Card, Steam Gift Card, Google Play Gift Card, Razer Gold Gift Card, Xbox Gift Card, PlayStation Gift Card, Roblox Gift Card, Vanilla Gift Card, Walmart MoneyCard, Target Gift Card, Macy’s Gift Card, Best Buy, GameStop, Nike Gift Card, Foot Locker Gift Card, Sephora Gift Card, Nordstrom, Coach Gift Card, Dollar General, NetSpend, Lowe’s, Paysafe Card, MoneyPak, American Express (Amex), go2bank, and One4All.

This broad coverage allows users to sell gift cards in Nigeria on a single platform, reducing the risks associated with switching between multiple gift card exchange services.

Controlled Speed Instead of Risky “Instant” Claims

In the gift card trading industry, “instant cashout” is often promoted but rarely explained. In practice, unverified speed frequently leads to disputes, failed payouts, or account restrictions.

Migo – Sell Gift Cards adopts a controlled processing approach, combining automated systems with manual verification to assess gift cards based on brand, type, and risk level. Once verification is completed, payouts are processed in Nigerian Naira (NGN) or Ghanaian Cedi (GHS).

This method prioritizes reliability and user protection while still aiming for timely cashouts within reasonable and clearly communicated timeframes.

Transparent Gift Card Rates in Nigeria

One of the biggest concerns for users is gift card rates in Nigeria, which can fluctuate frequently based on market conditions. Migo – Sell Gift Cards addresses this by displaying the available exchange rate before a user confirms a transaction.

Whether users want to sell Apple Gift Card, sell Steam Gift Card,sell macy’s gift card or trade other brands, pricing is visible upfront. Once a rate is accepted and verification is completed, there are no unexpected deductions, helping users better predict their final payout.

Simple and Consistent Trading Process

To make online gift card trading accessible to both new and experienced users, Migo – Sell Gift Cards keeps its workflow straightforward:

  1. Create an account (https://www.migogiftcard.com)
  2. Select the gift card type
  3. Submit gift card details or images
  4. Verification process
  5. Cash payout

This consistent structure reduces errors, improves clarity, and supports both first-time users and frequent traders.

Raising Standards in a High-Risk Digital Market

As Nigeria’s digital finance ecosystem grows, competition among gift card trading platforms is shifting away from speed alone toward risk management, transparency, and user communication.

Migo – Sell Gift Cards states that its long-term goal goes beyond completing transactions. By maintaining clear rules, stable execution, and responsive customer support, the platform aims to contribute to higher standards across the Nigeria gift card exchange industry.

DStv, GOtv to Retain CNN, Cartoon Network, 10 Others After Last Minute Deal

Published

on

CNN

By Adedapo Adesanya

Canal+ and Warner Bros. Discovery have signed a new multi-year, multi-territory agreement to strengthen their partnership internationally that will scrap the exit plans of channels like CNN International and Cartoon Network on pay television services -DStv and GOtv.

The last minute agreement reached on December 31, 2025, means 12 channels at risk of being yank off, including Discovery, CNN, TLC, Discovery Family, Real Time, Food Network, HGTV, Investigation Discovery, and Cartoon Network, will remain on both DStv and GOtv.

According to a statement by Canal+ yesterday, the deal between the two broadcasting giants spans multiple territories, including South Africa, the rest of Africa and regions in Europe where Canal+ also has operations.

Canal+ said: “This expanded agreement covers both the distribution of HBO Max and the renewal of several Warner Bros Discovery thematic channels across numerous regions.”

The announcement comes as a relief to DStv subscribers, who received notices via email and on-screen warnings from December 1, 2025, stating that the channels in question could be removed from their bouquets since contractual negotiations between Canal+ and Warner Bros Discovery had reached an impasse.

Regions outside Africa also affected by the new deal include Romania, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, where Cartoon Network, Cartoonito and CNN International have been renewed.

Other Warner Bros channels renewed in European regions not available in Africa include Warner TV, Cinemax and TVN.

“Canal+ and its longstanding partner, Warner Bros Discovery, are pleased to announce the signing of a new multi-year and multi-territory agreement, marking a major milestone in the development of their collaboration on an international scale,” Canal+ stated.

The agreement between WBD and the French media group builds upon previous deals made in 2024, including the renewal of the exclusive pay-TV window for Warner Bros. Pictures films six months after their theatrical release in France and the integration of HBO Max within select Canal+ group offers.

It also comes during Netflix’s pending purchase of Warner Bros. Discovery, which could further position Canal+ as a power player on the global stage as the company already has distribution deals in place with Netflix.

JMG solar power systems NIPCO

By Aduragbemi Omiyale

Nigeria’s trusted hybrid and integrated electromechanical energy provider, JMG Limited, has completed the installation of solar power systems at three key fuel stations of NIPCO Plc.

The clean energy source was installed at NIPCO’s petrol dispensing outlets in Gwagwalada Abuja, Lekki Lagos, and Mpape Abuja.

This will help the organisation eliminate diesel reliance, and unlock more than N44 million in annual energy cost savings.

The installations feature advanced hybrid systems, combining solar arrays, lithium battery storage, and smart inverters to provide 24/7 energy for fuel pumps, lighting, and office operations. Each site has reported zero use of electricity or generator power since the systems were installed.

The three NIPCO stations now run on an advanced hybrid solar system that combines high‑efficiency PV panels, intelligent lithium‑battery storage and smart inverters.

Since commissioning, the sites have operated with zero grid or generator power, providing silent, clean, uninterrupted electricity for pumps, lighting and administration.

“We are proud to help NIPCO lead the energy transition at the retail level.

“The scalable architecture can be sized to each location and has already delivered significant savings, about 88,535 kWh/year, N44.4 million in annual cost savings and a 43.8‑tonne reduction in CO₂ emissions,” the Head of JMG’s Hybrid Solar Division, Mr Abbass Hussein, stated, adding that, “Collaborating with NIPCO on this initiative demonstrates a practical pathway for other firms to reduce both emissions and energy expenses.”

Also commenting, NIPCO’s Station Manager at Gwagwalada, Mr Idoko Jacob, said, “The stations have not relied on electricity or generator power on bright-weather days since commissioning. The solar systems fully meet our daily energy needs during such periods. On days with poor weather, we supplement the solar system with generator power to ensure uninterrupted operations.”

Business Post gathered that the NIPCO Gwagwalada Station has a solar output of 42,450 kWh/year, annual savings of N15.6 million, and CO₂ reduction of 15,332.76 kg/year, with a system installed consisting of a 20kW Deye LV Hybrid Inverter, 26.8kWp Solar PV, and 51.2kWh Lithium Battery Storage.

The NIPCO Lekki Station has a solar output of 3,635 kWh/year, annual savings of N12 million, and CO₂ reduction of 13,130.1 kg/year, with a system installed consisting of a 25kW Must Hybrid Inverter, 22.95kWp Solar PV, and 76.8kWh Lithium Battery Storage.

As for the NIPCO Mpape Station, it has a solar output of 42,450 kWh/year, annual savings of N16.8 million, and CO₂ reduction of 15,332.76 kg/year, with a system installed consisting of a 20kW Deye LV Hybrid Inverter, 26.8kWp Solar PV, and 61.44kWh Lithium Battery Storage.
