Kade Keyo Pledges to Support SMEs, others with Unique Business Solution Modules

In a bid to offer more value to customers and consolidate its customer base, Kade Keyo in early 2018, introduced a singular product called ‘Community’ which embodied the composition of various solution modules.
Since then, they have evolved to repackage each product module to the specific demographic with the problems they aim for the solutions to solve.
Mr. Tanho Attah, founder, Kade Keyo, speaking at their Surulere office in Lagos went memory lane on how the team projected to the future.
Even with the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic, Kade Keyo is still impacting businesses.
According to him, Kade Keyo remains focused on the broad vision which is “to allow people to see our solutions and plug into the opportunities that they create, giving them more freedom to enjoy life and its little pleasures…”
One brand at a time, Kade Keyo intends to create businesses that serve clients with top quality and train the employees with the utmost respect for the customer needs.
Speaking on how they intend to achieve these, Mr. Attah said, Kade Keyo has business modules that are uniquely designed to offer support to clients.
Some of these models, according to him are: “Business Services: This entails a simple business consulting, redesign and management service, accessible to all business owners, current and intending, who require professional help in running a sustainable business.
“Partnerships: A service that allows individuals to directly partner with us on our operations which include features like Affiliate partnership, Financial partnership, Equity partnership and Venture partnership options.
“Projects: With our projects, people can participate in projects we embark on which cover a variety of focuses, as well as engage us to help them activate their own. One of such project is the success story of the “After the Dream” concert, held at the MUSON centre in February, 2015 for a client called Rantique productions, who at the time were looking to produce a concert for the ‘Iwe Kiko’ cross-over opera singer, Ranti”, said Mr. Attah.
Also speaking on Kade Keyo’s plug and play products, the founder said, “In continuing the progress, Kade Keyo have introduced plug and play products that our clients can engage with on a very simple access process.
Some of them are: “Sales Active- A simply designed sales solution platform that allows any business owner to rapidly increase sales using our sales network.
This platform also provides opportunities for people to earn extra income by becoming Sales Agents.
“Grow Fund- This financial partnership product allows people to become a part of our success as a company, being able to acquire Grow Fund units at an available listed price and earn real yields from their partnership, month on month leading up to a capitalizing growth value at the end of its tenure cycle.
“Pitch Deck- This program allows any business owner to present a pitch to prospective investors and access real-time funding and/or partnerships from interested investors who could be both professional investors or private individuals.
“Business Fit – Business Fit creates a regular business class in an informal setting, breaking down the basics of running a business successfully, earning profit and maximizing opportunities. The goal of the business fit program is to enable more business owners find success in operating their various businesses.
When asked about Kade Keyo’s vision 2020 and beyond, Mr. Attah said: “Due to recent activities, we have evolved a large portion of our operations to a fully remote work model, allowing our employees to work remotely, in conditions favourable to their daily work needs and personal lives. As such, a large part of our company operates digitally.
“In order to serve our clients more efficiently, we would be creating a series of KADE KEYO solution centres, which will act as a direct interface between the company and our clients.
“The solution centres will work as a simple access menu list where clients can walk-in, both digitally and physically, and request the solutions that have been best tailored to fit their needs.
“The first solution centre is already live and active and can be found online at @sckadekeyo or sc.kadekeyo@gmail.com, but will be officially announced on August 1, 2020, with a few more centres to follow shortly after”.
Beyond, Kayo Kade intends to do this, one brand at a time, and have focused their recent investment efforts on two industries: Agriculture and Technology.
“With this, we have invested in setting up 2 ventures with a few more to follow before the end of this year, while opening one of them to private partnership for interested parties.
“They are as follows: TBX Farms: A fully functional citrus farm, focused on cultivating, processing and trading citrus crops. Investments can be bought in at 180,000 ngn per 1%, which we will soon close as we are running out of available units up for sale
“Our second target venture, is an aggregate venture between agriculture and technology, with an investment in multiple millions, primarily funded by Kade Keyo and our private partners. Updates on this venture will be announced when we are ready to go public”.
In all, Kade Keyo is highly focused on value addition to businesses. You can take these opportunities too to rave-up your services.

Fines: Meta Threatens to Shut Down Facebook, Instagram in Nigeria

Meta may shut down its Facebook and Instagram services in Nigeria in protest against the substantial fines imposed by multiple government agencies.
The tech giant has been ordered to pay nearly $300 million in fines in Africa’s most populous nation, following regulatory demands which Meta described as “unrealistic.”
In July 2024, the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), imposed a $220 million fine on Meta for allegedly discriminatory and exploitative practices against Nigerian consumers.
The commission stated that Meta had failed to engage a Data Protection Compliance Organisation and had not submitted a Nigeria Data Protection Regulation audit report for two consecutive years.
Similarly, the Advertising Regulatory Council of Nigeria (ARCON), demanded $37.5 million over unapproved advertising, while the Nigerian Data Protection Commission (NDPC), announced a $32.8 million fine for an alleged data privacy breach.
Meta challenged the decisions at the Federal High Court in Abuja but was unsuccessful, as the court upheld the fines in a ruling delivered last week.
The court directed the company to comply with payment by the end of June, but Meta has indicated it may not do so, according to the BBC.
“The applicant may be forced to effectively shut down the Facebook and Instagram services in Nigeria in order to mitigate the risk of enforcement measures,” the company stated in court documents.
Responding to the NDPC’s assertion that Meta’s data processing could expose Nigerian users to health and financial risks, the company said the agency had failed to “properly interpret the laws guiding data privacy.”

Telecoms Services Resume in Kogi State as Telcos, Govt Resolve Dispute

Telecommunications services disrupted in Kogi State have resumed following a resolution of the dispute between MTN Nigeria and the state government, the Association of Licensed Telecoms Operators of Nigeria (ALTON) has said.
Gbenga Adebayo, chairman of ALTON, told TVC News that the issues that led to the shutdown of telecom masts in the state, primarily affecting MTN, had been addressed, paving the way for service restoration.
TVC News earlier reported that businessmen and women were counting their losses as they suffered the impact of a shut down of telecommunication service in Kogi State
Over the past two weeks, telecoms connectivity had been erratic, with competing brands experiencing glitches, particularly in the Lokoja metropolis.
The State government suspended the operations of some telecom services citing unpaid taxes and fibre-related dues.
The shutdown stemmed from a compliance dispute between MTN and the Kogi State Utility Infrastructure Management and Compliance Agency, which accused the telecom giant of violating operational rules and under-declaring the extent of its optic fibre network coverage in the state.

Banks Settle ₦160Bn USSD Debt to Telcos, Ending Five-Year Dispute

The protracted Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) debt misunderstanding between the Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) and telecommunications operators appears to have been resolved.
This was confirmed by the Chief Executive Officer of MTN Nigeria, Karl Toriola, Thursday, March 1, when he appeared on Arise TV to speak on the firm’s first-quarter 2025 result, where the telecommunications company reported over N1 trillion in revenue earnings.
Recall that the USSD debt had been a major issue between the DMBs and telcos and had lasted for about five years.
In the third quarter of 2024, the telcos had threatened to withdraw their service over the lingering debt, which was around N200 billion at the time. This led to the swift intervention of the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), and an agreement was reached on payment.
As of November 2024, the NCC put the debt at N160 billion. However, earlier this year, when it appeared the banks were not forthcoming with payments, the NCC directed the telcos to withdraw the USSD services from debt-owning DMBs, where about 18 banks were listed.
This directive prompted the banks to look inward and start to comply with an earlier circular signed by the CBN and NCC, which articulated the payment patterns for the debt.
Speaking, on Arise TV this morning, May 1, Toriola confirmed that the matter has been fully resolved and that banks have made payments.
“I can confirm that the matter has been fully resolved. We have received payments in full. Special thanks to the CBN, NCC, the banks, and other stakeholders that intervened in the matter,” the MTN CEO stated.
