Global Accelerex Revolutionizes Digital Payment with NEXGO G2

Global Accelerex, a Central Bank of Nigeria licensed and fully certified Payment Terminal Service Provider (PTSP) has launched Nexgo G2, an innovative point of sale (PoS) terminal into the electronic payment ecosystem. The new electronic payment system combines portability with efficiency, durability and high operational speed.
While unveiling the product at the just concluded PoS Innovative Summit organized by the company in Lagos, Mr. Tunde Ogungbade, Managing Director, revealed that Nexgo G2 is a convenient device, engineered for mobility and very affordable, in comparison with the complexities of an mPOS. It is packed with excellent features that cater to the needs of a broader range of merchants and segments, with the ability to print receipts on the go.
“At a cost structure lower than an mPos, it is almost amazing why any merchant would want to fiddle with two devices other than one,” he added.
Presenting the device to representatives of money deposit banks at the summit, Mr. Kayode Ariyo, Chief Operating Officer of the company, disclosed that the G2 comes with NFC capabilities and is fully certified for PCI 4x, EMV, PBOC, MasterCard PayPass and Visa PayWave. “The G2 offers a rich high resolution 2.4 Inch colour display and can conveniently fit into a merchant’s pocket, making it an excellent choice for various payment scenarios such as Internal revenue collections, retail payments, bill/utility payments, distributor/field sales as well as agent banking”, he stated further.
The NEXGO G2 is versatile and allows a wide variety of customized applications for different sectors. For churches, the device can be customized with easy menu for collection of tithes, offerings, building funds, among others.
For fuel stations, NEXGO G2 has the capability to fuel pump integration for both manned and unmanned fuel pumps, stock monitoring and inventory management. For schools, menus can be incorporated for easy payment for uniforms, books, fees and other academic expenses. The device is also enabled for account opening, loyalty schemes for select account holders and closed loop schemes for high value merchants.
Since it came into operation, Global Accelerex has constantly strived to give customers the best possible point of sale experience. Apart from its latest value addition, it has pioneered other integrated products and services tailored to fit the unique needs of its ever-growing clientele. Its service offerings include platforms of choice for client initiatives such as invoicing, order management and bill collections; ability to track and manage assets by several parameters; automation of key acquirer internal business processes; and improved metrics for operations performance monitoring and reporting.
The PoS Innovative Summit is a regular event organized by Global Accelerex to reinforce acceptance of PoS as an alternative means of payment, with a view to transforming the payment system in Nigeria to match world-best practice. The next summit is scheduled to hold in Lagos in December.

Farmers to Get Identity Card for Loans, Inputs

The federal government, in collaboration with the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), is building a digital registrar that will identify farmers, their farmlands, type of soil and the crops they grow for targeted services.
The information and the National Identification Number (NIN) will be integrated into a multipurpose identity card that farmers can use to access financial services, inputs and other forms of government assistance.
The digitisation is expected to harmonise farmers’ data across all the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
Speaking at the national launch of the Policy Dialogue Initiative on the National Digital Farmers Registry (NDFR) recently in Abuja, Dr Marcus Ogunbiyi, permanent secretary, Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security (FMAFS), said the new system would address the issue of portfolio farmers, whom he described as “farmers who have no farm.”
“We are going to register farmers and their farms. Not only that, farmers and the type of crop they grow, farmers and the locality they are, the type of soil they have on their farms. There is no farm that will not have a farmer. But there are many farmers who do not have farms. This is an encompassing package.
“When we register these farmers, we are going to provide a physical and digital card for them. With the card, many things can be done by the farmers. It can be used as a means of identification, an asset to some gateway – just anything. It is going to have a handshake with the database of the country, such that with that particular card, the farmer can enter any place and get things done. He or she can redeem inputs and even get a loan, depending on the financial entity,” Ogunbiyi explained.
He said that to accomplish this, the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security has taken decisive steps to transform their approach to farmer data management, adding, “Chief among these is our strategic partnership with the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) to implement a far-reaching farmer registration and database project. At the heart of this initiative is the integration of the NIN, which ensures that every Nigerian farmer is uniquely identified and seamlessly integrated into a national agricultural system.”
Mrs Dede Ahoefa Ekoue, country director/representative of the IFAD in Nigeria, said the United Nations (UN) organisation was proud to be part of the initiative on the National Digital Farmer Registry in Nigeria.
“Our role is to convene all the partners, development partners from the public sector, private sector and the international community to put our resources together to support the effort of the government in establishing and enabling a digital farmer registry for the country,” she said.
Mrs Ekoue said that although there were previous efforts to have a national database of farmers, it had the issues of fragmentation and sustainability.
“The government is now providing us with a sense of direction and matching orders to all the actors to work together. This is what we are doing today with several partners, including the African Development Bank, FAO, the World Bank, the EU, the Islamic Development Bank and UK. Also, what is very key is farmers’ organisations because it is about them, it is for them, it must be with them,” she added.
The country director said the IFAD was happy to bring together the private sector and different ministries, departments and agencies, adding, “It will be a game changer for having a strong, updated and sustainable national digital farmer registry.”
Dr Lekan Tobe, the country director of Heifer International in Nigeria, in his remarks at the official launch of the Policy Dialogue Initiative on the National Digital Farmer Registry, emphasised the critical role of partnership and data in transforming Nigeria’s agricultural sector.
He said that this initiative, born from recommendations of previous policy dialogues organised in collaboration with the federal government, aimed to scale up innovative digital technology to enhance food systems across the country.
