Konga, a leading online market place in Nigeria, has promised to present two additional Hyundai i10 cars for customer to grab under the Infinix Mobility promo splash.

Konga.com, Nigeria’s online marketplace, in collaboration with Infinix Mobility, makers of Infinix range of mobile devices and tablets initiated a drive a few months ago to ensure Nigerians get access to quality and super affordable mobile and tablet devices.
The initiative which saw a massive slash in the price of the Infinix Joypad 7 tablet was well received by Nigerians with several positive reviews about how Konga and Infinix were truly creating innovations that Nigerians can truly love.
In a bid to ensure all Nigerians get access to mobile and tablet devices, Konga and Infinix partnered to launch the Infinix 8s tablet to the Nigerian market and to create a promotion called the Konga.com and infinix splash which rewarded loyal shoppers in May with an opportunity to win a brand new Hyundai i10 and gift vouchers by simply buying the Infinix 8s tablet.
The promo was part of other initiatives like free nationwide delivery which Konga carried out in May.
Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, Nollywood star actress who was recently recognised as one of the times 100 Most Influential People in the World was on ground to present the Hyundai i10 car to Uzoamaka who emerged as the lucky winner of the car in a draw that was held in the presence of members of the press.
Speaking about this, Sim Shagaya, chief executive officer of Konga,com, said, “It is truly an honour to be in a position to bring such great value to our customers. This promo is one of the many rewards we have in store for Nigerians who choose to shop online and we are happy to present this brand new car to Uzoamaka. We are going to give out two more cars in another edition of the promo and I will like to thank Infinix for coming together to make this happen.
Also speaking, Andy Yan, vice president, Infinix said; We are very happy with this partnership with Konga.com. The response from Nigerians to the Infinix brand has been tremendous, and our dream is to ensure that all Nigerians get access to our range of devices.
“We will continue to work with Konga in ensuring that this dream is achieved.”
On his part, Shobanjo Adebayo, chief operating officer, COO of Infinix Mobility, said, the company made the right decision by choosing Konga, even in its quest to penetrate African market.
According to him, Konga.com has become a household name and forms Inifinix Mobility’s right partner, as its tablet remains the cheapest in the market.
“The Infinix 8s is one of the best value tablets on the market, and is available exclusively on Konga.com. The promo will run again, for the next five hundred buyers of the Infinix Joypad 8s.
“So hurry, get this premium tablet at an amazing price, and stand a chance to win a Brand New Car, just like Uzoamaka,” he said.

Nigeria Launches Cybercrime Team with Commonwealth, UK Support

Nigeria recently launched a new joint case team to step up its response to cybercrimes that affect people and businesses at home and abroad.
The ‘Joint Case Team on Cybercrime’ brings together Nigeria’s key justice and security agencies to work as one, making it easier to detect, investigate, and prosecute digital offences.
It is supported by the UK National Crime Agency, the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, and the Commonwealth Secretariat, as part of a wider effort to promote international cooperation on cybercrime.
Speaking at the launch in Abuja, Prince Lateef Fagbemi SAN, minister of justice and attorney general of the federation described the initiative as “a bold and transformative stride in Nigeria’s justice system.”
He said that although Nigeria has a national legal framework to address cyber offences, laws alone are not enough.
Nigeria is among the countries most affected by cybercrime around the world, with increasing financial losses.

INEC Sets Up AI Division to Strengthen Electoral System

Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced the establishment of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Division within its ICT Department.
This marks a significant stride toward enhancing electoral integrity, efficiency, and innovation in Nigeria’s democratic process.
This decision was reached at the Commission’s regular weekly meeting held in Abuja, following a series of consultations and engagements on the global and continental impact of AI on elections.
In a statement issued by Sam Olumekun, national commissioner and chairman of the Information and Voter Education Committee, INEC underscored that the growing relevance of AI in electoral matters necessitated a proactive institutional framework to manage both the risks and opportunities it presents.
“Our interactions with electoral bodies across Africa highlighted both the risks of AI—such as fake news and content manipulation—and the vast potential it holds for data-driven decision-making, risk mitigation, automated voter services, and geo-spatial intelligence for logistics,” Olumekun noted.
According to him, the newly created division will centralise the Commission’s AI efforts, ensuring a harmonized approach to deploying intelligent systems that enhance decision-making, improve voter engagement, and boost the credibility of the electoral process.
“The creation of this division puts the Commission at the forefront of institutionalizing AI capabilities in electoral management.
It is also part of our ongoing reforms in areas where administrative action is sufficient to drive change,” he said.
He added that the AI Division will help INEC better coordinate its existing technological investments while providing safeguards against the misuse of AI technologies.
“We are positioning ourselves to maximise the positive impact of AI while mitigating its negative implications. This step strengthens the credibility and transparency of elections in Nigeria,” Olumekun concluded.
The initiative, INEC emphasised, reflects its commitment to embracing innovation in safeguarding democracy and improving electoral services nationwide.

CAC, NIBSS Unveil Platform for Data Access to Private Firms

Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) in partnership with the Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System (NIBSS) has unveiled a new Application Programming Interface (API) integration system to allow private firms access company data from the Commission’s database.
Hussaini Ishaq Magaji (SAN), registrar general of CAC, who spoke in Abuja at the unveiling said the system would give selected private organizations access to CAC services through technology-based companies, called “super agents.”
“This is a practical step to show that the Commission is committed to meeting the expectations of our customers,” he said.
Magaji explained that the integration allows the agents to retrieve data from the CAC database for use in specific client requests, outside the standard services provided by the Commission.
“Before now, only a few government agencies had this integration, especially those involved in investigations, anti-money laundering, and terrorism financing. Now, private companies that meet the criteria can also access it,” he said.
He said the system complies with the Nigerian Data Protection Act 2023, and information such as residential addresses, phone numbers, and dates of birth may be restricted.
“This is a call to law firms and companies with the right technology. We’ve started with NIPS because of their credibility. Embassies and banks can now authenticate company records directly through them.”
“There are prescribed fees. We already collect them on our portal, and now customers can also pay through these agents,” he explained.
He named NIPS, MoneyPoint, and OPE as some of the companies involved.
“OPE and MoneyPoint handle only registrations. But NIPS has moved further into validation and verification,” he said.
Ngover Ihyembe-Nwankwo, executive director at NIBSS, who represented Premier Oiwoh, managing director, said the service allows secure and efficient data verification.
“This is the result of years of effort to connect our systems with CAC. It will help users verify data within the limits of data protection laws,” she said.
She said the move is a way to lower costs and promote interoperability across the financial sector.
