Legacy companies must invest in technology, says Osinbajo
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, on Tuesday in Abuja, said despite the existing business models in most industries today, maintaining relevance will require investment in technology.
"Legacy and history have a powerful pull, but it might be that what the future calls for is even greater and this is why we must be investing in technology," Osinbajo said when he received a delegation of the Odu'a Investment Company at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday titled 'Investing in technology is the way of the future, says Osinbajo.'
Starting operations in October 1976, Odu'a Investment Company Limited has interests in integrated textile mills, breweries, commercial banking, insurance, real estate, livestock rearing, fisheries, hospitality, oil and gases, amongst others.
While commending the legacy of the conglomerate and the vision that birthed it, Osinbajo said, "legacy and history have a powerful pull, but it might be that what the future calls for is even greater and this is why we must be investing in technology."
"look at technology and see how to change and improve the (business) model," Osinbajo told the company's chairman, Bimbo Ashiru.
Making a case for proper privatisation and its dividends to the government, Osinbajo said "if the private sector runs businesses, it is far better because it will bring greater dividends.
"The NLNG is making a lot of money because the private sector has a controlling share and is making money for the country.
"There is a need to push the model of using smart and tested people from the private sector to manage enterprises and businesses that government has an interest in."
Ashiru, who briefed State House correspondents after the meeting, said despite being major shareholders in its enterprise, governors of southwestern states are not meddling with the company's affairs.
This, he said, had ensured the company's expansion into a world-class outfit in its 47-year existence.
He said the company is being run as a conglomerate that is paying due dividends to shareholders; attracting foreign investors in the areas of hospitality, agriculture, real estate, IT, among others.
He said, "We have six states that are shareholders, they are not running Odu'a. They appoint members of the Board, but Odu'a is being run like a conglomerate, it is a large conglomerate and what we have done is to make Oodua a world class conglomerate, we want to compete with everywhere in the world.
"So, that's really why we are even here; to let the Vice President know that it's not a regional thing. It's a national thing. So, the point is that we are now running as an international entity.
"I commend the Southwest governors. They have no interference, no micro-managing. They gave us free hand to run it. But normally, we still need to refer to them and I'm happy to tell you that we are paying dividends to the shareholders.
Ashiru further explained that the company was exploring international investments and partnerships.
For instance, he disclosed that the Premier Hotel located in Ibadan, Oyo State, one of the well-known businesses of the conglomerate is now going to be in partnership with an international brand.
In the new arrangement, he said the hotel would be upgraded to a five-star hotel and will increase its rooms from 87 to 120.
He also informed the VP that Lagos State has recently joined Odu'a Investment Company and has been presented its certification as a shareholder.
Members of the delegation included the Group Managing Director; Mr. Adewale Raji, other directors such as Dr. Tola Kasali, Mr Seni Adio, SAN and Adebola Osibogun.
Others were the Managing Director, SWAgCo Limited, Mr. Babajide Arowosafe and Mr. Victor Ayetoro, Head, Branding and Communications at Odu'a.

Cost reduction is a big advantage when organising a virtual internal event, because the event's participants don't need to spend any travel expenses. This also makes the organizing company a pioneer by reducing environmental strain. There a numerous ways of conducting an internal corporate event: internal field kick-off meetings and R&D conferences are two popular examples. Considering that such events are often used to exchange confidential information, very high security standards are required: a huge advantage of our ubivent technology.

Do you have some poems in a pile? Do you need that extra push to step out into the sky and create a book? The word 'collection' is misleading, since the process of writing a poetry book is so much deeper than 'collecting'. Poems have chemical reactions with each other, and collections have personalities far beyond the sum of their parts. With guidance from both a poetry and publishing perspective, prepare to think hard about the poems you already have, and to write an almost criminal amount of new work too.

I maintain an active extension program in vegetable and turf IPM. I participate in numerous winter educational meetings, workshops, field days, and vegetable grower conferences in Virginia and surrounding states each year. My lab produces several extension publications, e-mail updates and web sites to distribute extension information.

Income and wealth inequality, exploitative working conditions and displacement are critical issues faced by communities across the country. These challenges require strategies that create both stable employment and access to opportunities for building assets. Local governments have traditionally invested in the dual pathways of entrepreneurship and workforce development to address these issues. Employee ownership of businesses is one approach for creating and preserving jobs with dignity and opportunities for wealth building.

If you want your house to look like Moonbase Alpha from Space 1999, the Baraonda shelving by MyYour is probably ideal for you.
It's a modular shelving system with that 1970s futuristic vibe, helped no doubt by a construction of the wonderully-titled Poleasy, which is apparently the kind of substance that's hard wearing, easy to clean and can be used inside and out (although inside is more likely for this).
You can use it vertically or horizontally, with each unit sized at 205cm x 80cm x 45cm no matter which way you have it. Each sells for £1,002 and if you like the look, check out the rest of the company's space age pieces too.

British Airways resumes flights to Iran for the first
But can it really become a global tourist hotspot?
Live from London, that's our top story on Thursday
Today we find out how attractive flights to Iran will be.
Plus - looking for new friends in Africa -
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg tells us about his plans to sign up
The European markets have bounced a bit higher today. We have the latest
from the app boss about what he thinks about the European
Commission's decision that they will have to basic dividend sums to the
Irish government, he says it is maddening and political -- from the
Apple boss. How do you handle logistics
for events like Davos? Coming up, we meet the man
responsible for getting the world's "thinking elite" together at events
all around the world. And is Iran on your travel to-do
list? We start in Iran -
because later this evening the first British Airways flight in almost
a decade leaves Heathrow The UK Foreign Office
relaxed its travel advice to Iran last July, citing "decreasing
hostility under President Rouhani's government" - raising
hopes of a boom in both Relations with Iran have thawed,
following the implementation of the nuclear deal,
and the lifting of US sanctions The Iranian authorities are keen
to grow the number of foreign visitors to the country as a much
needed source of hard currency. Earlier this year Iran set a target
of 20 million tourists a year by 2025 potentially earning
the country revenues The gist ago issues and a culture
clash. -- logistical issues. Women are expected to conform
to local customs like wearing a headscarf - and in
some areas full hijab. And few businesses like tour
operators and hotels can accept With me is Amir Paivar
from the BBC's Persian Service. The Victoria talking us through the
challenges, and they also have big ambitions, they want to see 20
million in terms of tourists every year by 2025, is that realistic? It
is a very attractive destination as a destination for cultural tourism.
Women do head to cover their heads, a small light headscarf will
suffice, but still. It has a very diverse geography, deserts,
mountains, lakes, some of it as lush as the UK, and also amazing history.
The attraction is there, but the problem is, the infrastructure.
many new hotels and they are already many new hotels and they are already
on the job, one of the fastest-growing sectors in the
country after the sanctions were lifted, and there is also the
question of domestic flights. Not enough of them. Iran has been
suffering from sanctions and has not been able to purchase new jets. The
orders are in. Yes, but with the banking sector, there are problems.
It is also a question of services in general. All of those have two
improved quite significantly in order to cater to that ambitious
target. A key problem, for those travelling business travellers who
travelled to the United States or Americans citizens, they will have
issues in terms of the US Visa situation. That is right, a few
months now, a British person does not need a Visa to travel to the
United States, but if you travel to Iran, which the US still thinks is a
place which has linked to terrorism, then even as a British person or the
European, you will need to apply for visas and that will be a problematic
thing for people who travel a lot on business, and it will be a turn-off
that will put off people from applying for visas and going to
Iran. Thanks for joining us. Very interesting developments. Much more
information on that on our website. We have a story developing this
morning, this regard is Apple and the row over tax, the chief
executive Tim Cook has described the ruling that the firm should pay back
?11 billion worth of back taxes to the Irish government as political
and unfair and he also said it is maddening. This is his first
broadcast interview and he said Apple was outraged to be associated
with either legality and challenged the calculation stash with
illegality. This is his first broadcast. We can listen to what he
had to say. Can I ask direct questions, were you given deals
which were only available to Apple and word available to any other
companies? -- word. No, not a single time. Were you treated differently
to everyone else, were you given special treatment? Sweetheart deals?
No, never. The European Commission said yesterday, the Commissioner, he
said in 2014 Apple paid an effective corporate tax rate of just 0.005%,
that is 50 euros out of every 1 million euros profit you made it one
of your subsidiaries, do you accept this? No, this is a false number,
and I've no idea where the number came from. It is not true. He is the
truth, in that year we paid $400 million to Ireland and that amount
of money was based on the statutory Irish income tax rate of 12.5%. That
was the voice of Tim Cook. The chief executive of Apple speaking to the
Irish broadcaster RTP. He is coming out fighting. No surprise that Tim
Cook is angry, this ruling by the European Commission cuts to the
heart of their tax strategy and he is questioning the commission's
interpretation of the facts for a start. Although given the length of
the time the commission have been working on this, they will be sure
of their ground, as well. Apple has little choice, it is an expensive
bill, and this ruling questions whether in the future it will be
able to draw up individual tax deals with individual countries because
the certainty that Davis, you have a letter from the government which
says this tax deal is fine and then a few years later and international
body says no it isn't and you have got to pay that money back, that
cuts to the heart of the tax planning and it is no surprise that
this has happened. Almost impossible to overstate the management of this
story, because this is potentially likely to overshadow US elections
and the product launch next week for Apple and it will be a huge debt in
their finances. It is not just about Apple, the European Commission has
been investigating Google, and isn't not just about European companies --
and it isn't just about American companies. Fiat has also been
tackled by the commission over its deals with the European government,
but the number of European Commissioners have said this is a
watershed moment because what the commission is doing is saying that
governments are not doing enough to assess the way multinational
companies are paying tax, and they have chosen a strategy which tackles
them on the ground and says we are not going to put up with this and we
are going to use every two to make these companies paid tax -- every
tool. Companies said they do everything by the book and by the
law and they pay or the taxpayer oh, this is what they say. -- they pay
all the tax they owe. We have more about that on the website.
Let's go to Asia now, where Canada has been trying
to strengthen trade ties with China, its biggest business
The Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau has announced plans to join
what's been billed China's version of the World Bank,
known as the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank.
It's the same institution the US recently refused to join.
This is a political readiness to strengthen ties? Yes, it is
interesting, Canada has applied to join and it is the first North
American country which has sought membership of the China lead bank
and the move was confirmed by the Canadian Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau, who is in Beijing on an official visit to boost ties. The
China lead bank is a new international development bank and
it marks China's most ambitious steps into financial diplomacy and
global governance. The Chinese government is seeing Canada's
application as a vote of confidence, especially as they tried to convince
Washington. They say it will create good jobs and global economic
growth. This was initially opposed by the United States but it has
attracted many American allies including Britain, Australia and
Germany. Thanks for joining us. And now to the Asian markets. Not
much has been done to lift spirits. Asian shares dipped on Thursday -
lower crude oil prices dented Wall Street and a pair of Chinese
manufacturing surveys did little to inspire investors
as markets waited to see if US employment data could put
the Federal Reserve on track Bounce higher for
European equities today. Lets hear what's ahead
on Wall Street today. Car sales have helped drive America
since the financial crisis, but new car sales have begun slipping in
recent months suggesting the boom might be overcome and the latest
sales report from global car-makers this Thursday is likely to confirm
this. The researcher is forecasting a 2.5% drop from a year ago. But it
is not all doom and gloom, the US car industry is still on track to
set a new sales record for the entire year. We will also have a
look at how manufacturing is doing because it has been slower to pick
up in other parts of the economy and investors expect the latest report
to show that factory activity slowed down in August. Will that give
Federal Reserve officials a pause whether they consider whether to
raise interest rates in September? I feel with -- that is all we talk
about in this particular area. We have been talking about rates and
the payroll figures out. That is overshadowing the markets. And also
the Chinese data, surprisingly good, but hardly anyone touching on it.
That is the we are so used Chinese data being terrible, and we... We
say it is terrible, but sometimes it is not that terrible. The markets
react and they already down before the numbers have been released, but
these numbers are good out of China. You have got to pick up on the good
numbers from China, the world's second-largest economy, it drags
everything down when we have bad numbers, and today we have good
numbers but we are seeing that come into the markets, but there is no
volume out there at the moment. The other thing the markets are
struggling with, low interest rates. The story in the Financial Times,
Asia clamouring because they are looking for any kind of return, and
Saudi Arabia are looking to boost their bond sale as a result, people
are chasing yield. This could be one of the biggest bond sales ever, this
is a norm is, they are looking to sell $15 billion worth of bonds --
this is enormous. They are massively over subscribed. One of the reasons
for them doing this is because of the oil price, which has fallen
quite aggressively. We can't rely on the oil price anywhere above $50 at
the moment and it seems that we get $10 swings within a couple of days
at the moment, and the Saudis do not want to be so reliant on the oil
stockpiles, and it looks like Babel raise a lot of money when this
happens, -- and it looks like they will raise a lot of money when this
happens. There are billions and billions of dollars heading to the
Saudis. The other big story of the week, Apple and the European
Commission, going after the taxes it is supposedly owing and Tim Cook has
seemed very hacked. Not surprisingly.
He suddenly has a 13 billion euros will pay up. We know the tax
situation for the likes of Apple and Google has been a global issue for a
long time, and it was only a matter of time before this happened. It
will be interesting to see how this fits the share price. It overshadows
the iPhone announcement. Thank you, James. Still to come we are going to
meet the man with one of the most impressive contact Bucks in the
business. Richard Attias is behind events
as diverse as Davos, peace summits, You're with Business
Live from BBC News. We have to talk about football. It
has been another record-breaker. The Premier League's summer transfer
window has slammed shut, and spending has surpassed ?1bn
for the first time as clubs scramble to outspend each other
to secure the best players. Manchester United sealed
by far the biggest deal, spending a world record ?89m
on securing Paul Pogba. We can speak to Omar Chaudhuri,
Head of Football Intelligence Omar, is it really that
surprising that huge amounts are being spent on players
when clubs are richer than ever? Not really. If you look at inflation
in revenues of the last few years, particularly from the last domestic
TV deal, which went up to ?5 billion over the next three years, Premier
League clubs are earning more than they ever have. If you look at the
proportion of transfer fees relative to that revenue, it is more and line
with what we have seen historically, perhaps even less. Although the
headline figure is large, it is not surprising that clubs are spending
this much money now. In terms of where this will end, every year
there is a debate about how much footballers are paid. It seems to be
endless. There is no cap, despite the argument that they are massively
overpaid. They are paid a lot of money. You have to consider the
context. Football clubs are unlike any other business. It is rare in
business that such a material part of the business depends on a few
individuals. If clubs lost their star players, they would be
considerably worse. That is unlike a bank or any other company. People
are willing to pay to watch them. The grounds of the Premier League
are largely sold out and there is a worldwide audience bigger than any
other league in the world. Although the headline figures look back, they
are in proportion to the value of those players to the teams, and
revenues, which have gone up. Moron the business live page for that
story. We have been # More on the business live page for
that story. British Airways is resuming flights
to Iran for the first time in almost a decade.
The oil price is up, helping energy companies. Markets are treading
water ahead of Friday's News from the US, as interest rates there
might increase. Let's get the inside track.
In the '90s, Richard Attias met a German economics
scholar named Klaus Schwab, the founder of the World
Developing the largest global meetings of world leaders.
He hired Mr Attias to handle logistics for Davos
Other gatherings he's been behind are: the Clinton Global Initiative,
the Middle East Peace Summit in Jordan, and the launch
Attias is also the founder and chairman of the New York Forum,
an annual invitation-only forum for global CEOs, economists
and business leaders to share ideas and provide recommendations
for new business models in a post-crisis world.
He is with as in the studio. He managed to squeeze our sin. Thank
you for joining us. Your brief is huge. There is so much that you
cover of these big events, but tell us how you got into it. How do you
become someone who organises Davos and other big events? I was a civil
engineer, so I should have been building bridges and buildings, but
I had the privilege to be born in Morocco, an Arab Muslim country. I
am Jewish, and I was surrounded by people who were religious. It is
important to talk about that today. I am someone who believes
intolerance, in dialogue, and at the end of the day, the weighted solve
the issue is the world is facing is to put people together. We are
living in a socially networked world today, but nothing is better than
putting people together. That is why this gathering of people is
important to have a better understanding of who people are, in
countries are, who compilations are. It is important to put people
together. -- who corporations. Today we are talking about Donald Trump's
speech and this wall he is going to build between North America and
Mexico. We have a UK leaving the EU. It seems to be more about division
today as opposed to collaboration. It is about understanding. There is
a Chinese proverb that talks about people building more balls than
bridges. These conferences are important. This is why we are trying
to explain to people who countries are, who people are. You start with
the British Airways flights going to Iran. I think it makes a lot of
sense, because there is one which bite-mac thing which is the
political aspect of Iran, but there also the people. The same story in
Africa. There are a lot of countries Africa. There are a lot of countries
that are not politically correct, are not democracies, but the people
of these countries are very open to start relationships with Western
countries. They want to take the best ask, I would say. This is why
it is not to isolate countries and to brand them. Brand them with what
they have cinema their assets, their people. That is your primary
objective, the branding of Nations, isn't it? Do you think Iran suffers
from a perception problem? Perception is important. The same
thing in the UK after Brexit. We are trying to work on branding a nation,
to change the perception. This is what we're to do in a few days. ...
This is what we're trying to do. In a few days, we will in Argentina.
The perception, which is sometimes right, is that these South American
countries are corrupted. Not easy rule of law, not easy to do
business. We will try to change this perception by presenting Argentina
as it will be in the future, with new leadership. It has been great to
have you. I wish we could talk for longer. Time is not on our site. See
you next time. That is it from Business Live today. More tomorrow.
See you soon. Apparently not! We have loads more time!
To Nigeria now where the founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg,
has been making his first trip to Africa this week.
The billionaire has defended Facebook's decision to continue
There are 1 billion people in Africa, and I wanted to listen and
learn and figure out what we could do to empower people to build the
types of services that are not only improving lives of people here but
all around the world. How will you improve internet
access? There was controversy when you did it in India. It is a 3-step
plan. First, we need to make sure there is network access everywhere.
In some places there is a good cellphone signal, so we're launching
satellites to beam down internet, or we are looking at solar powered
planes to fly over rural areas. I think that is it. We squeezed in a
lot today. Thank you for your time, and do join us tomorrow. Same time,
same place. Goodbye. Hello. Some nice weather for most of


ANAHEIM, CALIF.—Exclusive products are just one tool with which Carpet One provides members in management's ongoing quest to differentiate its members from the competition. As such, the group's recent summer convention focused on no less than three key introductions in the carpet, hardwood and resilient categories designed to not only achieve just that, but also increase members' profit margins.
Manufactured by Beaulieu exclusively for CCA Global, Resista ReFresh addresses consumer concerns via Silver Shield antimicrobial protection, which employs genuine silver particles to kill odor and stain-causing bacteria that can grow in the home, and the odor-neutralizing ActiFresh.
1.Merchandising: Included are 18 product cards, one informational card, 3-D graphics and POP materials.
2.Training for retail sales associates on the new brand attributes.
3.Marketing: Localized national advertising on major cable networks. Every retailer who offers Resista ReFresh will have the ability to air 60 30-second spots, tagged in local markets to their store. Networks include HGTV, The Food Network, TLC and the Oprah Winfrey Network. Spots will run between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.
"We will have over a short period of time in the fall more than 70,000 TV spots promoting Resista ReFresh that will close the whole loop," Dilks said. The spots will include a consumer offer that will then be tagged to the local dealer.
Resista ReFresh consists of 24 products, about two-thirds of which are exclusive to CCA Global. "There is something on the rack for every consumer: tight textures, friezes, Saxonies and a lot of multi color in terms of flecking and barber poles," said Jeff Meadows, chief marketing officer, Beaulieu. The assortment hits the heart of the residential replacement market, Dilks added, with price points ranging anywhere from the mid $1 to mid $3 a square foot.
To Meadows' point about proven success, Kerns told FCNews he recently pitched a job to a nursing home with a product that had Beaulieu's Magic Fresh technology and won the bid.
As such, Carpet One is offering a lifetime warranty on Forever Hardwood, creating the new Titanium Plus category. Retail price point is around $5.99 a foot. "That makes for an incredible value for the consumer with great margins for the dealer," Demaree said.
CCA has an exclusive on the proprietary product for at least a year. All 940 members will take it on as an automatic.
It has been a year and a half in the making, but Carpet One now has its proprietary luxury vinyl tile collection with a click locking system. CCA Global tapped IVC, whose fiberglass-backed sheet vinyl has been hugely successful for the group, for the exclusive line that will be branded Invincible.
Stefan Debusschere, IVC's vice president of sales and marketing, calls this click collection the best on the market. The first reason is a 55mil wearlayer, thicker than the industry standard. That improves durability and performance, allowing Carpet One to offer a 50-year residential warranty and 10-year commercial warranty. Invincible's construction also includes fiberglass, making it dimensionally stable to avoid peaking and gapping. Finally, the product is 100% waterproof, he said.
Also unique is the Unilin click system on such a wide array of visuals—30 SKUs of 14 woodand 16 tile visuals. The woods are 7 x 49 and mimic species ranging from maple to cherry to mahogany. The tiles are 12 x 24 and include rustic, marble, travertine, even metallic looks. "We adjust the gloss and texture levels for each SKU for extra realism," Debusschere said.
For the time being, the LVT will be sourced from the Far East. However, IVC is in the process of building an LVT factory at its corporate headquarters in Belgium. "Once that site is up and running, we will switch the program." Test runs begin in late fall with the factory expected to be fully operational by summer 2012.
Carpet One at this convention also enhanced and redesigned its lead management system, unveiled a complete overhaul of CarpetOne.com and created a social network platform to aggressively market online.
• Invincible Hardwood by Armstrong, introduced at the Summer 2010 convention and shipped to dealers in October, has exceeded both CCA Global and Armstrong's expectations, according to Jim Aaron, vice president of merchandising.
•Laminate for Life, introduced in January, was delayed because of issues with a third supplier. Mannington has replaced that supplier and come to the table with 12 of its best selling styles, all 12mil and exclusive to Carpet One. The collection will deliver during second week in August.
•After some re-assorting of Rustic River hardwood due to sourcing concerns in anticipation of the ITC ruling, "we now have it right," Aaron said.
