The Buyright Africa, a genuine
digital lifestyle company is partnering with the Federal Ministry of Labour and
Productivity and the Nigerian Labour Congress on the forthcoming launch of the
Nigerian Employees Digital Welfare scheme (NEDWS).
Confirming this, the Managing
Director of Buyright Africa, Mr. Mukoro Emomine, said the partnership offers a
convenient payment scheme on Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
equipment, home appliances and other lifestyle products.
This, he said, will be formally
unveiled by the Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chief Chukwuemeka Wogu,
Minister of Communications Technology, Mrs. Omobola Johnson and the President
of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Mr. Ibrahim Omar on Thursday, December 6, at
Abuja Transcorp Hilton Hotel.
He also said they have been test
running this credit scheme for over seven (7) months and have over 7,500
certified employees who have benefitted from it.
“NEDWS allows Nigerian employees in
both the public and private sectors to buy ICT equipment like computers, smart
phones, printers, scanners, projectors, Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) and
home appliances like TVs, refrigerators, deep freezers, microwave, electricity
generating sets of any brand of their choice from Buyright Africa with the
convenience of paying over a period of six (6) months at zero interest rate,”
he said.
The intention of NEDWS and its
partners, he said, is to build financial and moral integrity in the Nigerian
employee of the 21st century towards the development of a viable credit based
society. Mr. Mukoro said the focus is
to encourage employees to enjoy a minimum standard of living while working hard
to improve productivity and reduce fraud at their work places.
Mr. Mukoro asked how long it will
take a young graduate who just secured a job on a salary of N75,000 per month
to save and buy a new laptop or TV? This, he explained is one of the questions
this scheme has been structured to answer and has been answering.
“It is one of the problems of our
growing society. As different governments and the private sector struggle to
survive globally, NEDWS is meant to empower employed citizens to extend quality
living to their households. This is the trend in the civilized world but here
companies and individuals are afraid to extend credit facilities to employees
without asking for an arm and a leg including the burden of completing
complicated forms. The Nigerian Employees Digital Welfare Scheme, NEDWS, is a
complete departure from that tortuous Past,” he said.
Buyright Africa, Mukoro said,
instituted a process that has certified as at the end of October over 19
companies in the private sector, 9 Federal Ministries and MDGs, two state
governments, 6 tertiary institutions, 2 churches and 5 Co-operatives. Staff of
these certified institutions will only complete simple application forms, issue
their post dated cheques and the ICT equipment or Household Appliances of their
choice will be delivered to them with no hassles.
According to him, the list of the
certified institutions and governments would be released at the launch, adding
that employees of companies, institutions or government not yet certified shall
also enjoy the scheme but may be guaranteed by their management or
co-operatives.
This, he said, may take few hours
longer than the certified organizations and governments. NEDWS is not demanding any form of bank
guarantees and is not working with any bank and that is why it is interest
free.
“All items offered on this scheme
are global brands and Applicants are free to choose any brand they like,” he
said.
Also, at this launch, Buyright
Africa, with the permission of MayFive Media Ltd, a company owned by ex-
Newswatch Directors, will present Mr. Leo stan Ekeh – the Chairman of the Zinox
Group, and Africa’s leading Digital Entrepreneur in a 45 minutes talk, a
glimpse from his upcoming thought provoking and insightful book –”The Truth and
Nothing But the Truth about Third World Entrepreneurs.”
Though it will be delivered with
great caution noting the limits agreed with the publishers, it will touch on
issues like digging Deeper and building Miracle Corporates in a tough economy.
He will touch on the next best options in the market place for new starters,
why so many Nigerian Entrepreneurs will continue to lose money and how to avoid
the big holes created by big ticket fraudsters.
The Media Consultant to Buyright
Africa, Mr. Echika Ezuka, said it promises to be a rewarding experience because
it took weeks for the publishers to accept the plea to release a glimpse of
this explosive but highly cerebral book that will touch the foundations of this
country and shall be officially released in 2014.
That is why this launch is strictly
by invitation and we expect those who wish to attend to apply online through
www.buyrightafrica.com to be screened or contact BuyrightAfrica by phone to be
registered for this event.
... Making SENSE of digital revolution!
