Oando PLC, Nigeria's leading indigenous energy solutions provider has partnered with up-and-coming Nigerian SMEs to launch a digital portal in commemoration of Nigeria's 60th year of independence from British colonial rule and to celebrate her rich cultural heritage. The portal celebrates Nigeria's history grounded in the belief that it is pertinent to first understand where we have come from to be united in the journey to our desired destination. The portal, designed to be interactive, educative, and to rekindle love for our great nation, explores the country's history by bringing to light a mix of unsung and well known historical figures, significant milestones in our journey since independence, diverse cultures and tribes as well as the country's vast talent through art, film, music and literature. According to the COO of Harden & Bron International, Bamen Isenmila, "Nigeria has an important story to tell. There's a knowledge gap among Nigerians especially the younger generation and that has to change. We see this partnership and campaign as an opportunity to remind ourselves of our beautiful history, our heroes, traditions and cultures and all the unique things that make our nation great."
The
portal
features content from partners including Edquest, The Republic Journal, Harden
& Bron International, poet, Toby Abiodun and a few budding Nigerian artists
including Dudu Emmanuel, Stanley Dudu, Jibrin Judah, Muyiwa Akinwolere, Dara
Babalola, to mention a few. "We were pleasantly surprised to learn that Oando
shares our passion for promoting Nigeria in a positive light and a desire to
help young Nigerians at home and abroad affirm their identities and dismantle
narrow, one-sided perceptions of their culture", Omowunmi
Ikazoboh, Co-Founder, Edquest.
COVID-19
has negatively impacted global activity and the economy, Nigeria is no
exception. Those most affected by the economic slump are small and medium scale
enterprises, as well as the creative industry. Oando recognises the role that
the private sector plays in fuelling the economy, to this end, they have
created a platform to showcase indigenous talent and businesses, while
educating on Nigerian history and instilling national pride.
The
portal
gives the opportunity to take a pledge for a better Nigeria hinged on the
belief that the country we desire is only achievable if we play an active role
in its creation. The portal serves as a call to action for Nigerians at home
and in the diaspora to channel our resources towards a more progressive future.
