We commenced the Flag with style Campaign by introducing Car Side Mirror Covers, branded with “Nigeria @ 50” and in Nigeria ’ s flag colors. Our aim is to flag cars with these side mirror covers, which we believe would be visible to people nationwide from August to December 2010. The Campaign is not just about putting the Nigeria flag on cars and driving; we want to convey that in moving forward as a people, we should make Nigeria proud and position the nation positively in whatever we do.  Also, we want the people aimed at in this awareness campaign to begin to raise suggestions and in their own way implement them so Nigeria moves forward.

By Niyi Tabiti  The event business is certainly no joke in Nigeria. Most event managers get busy all through because of the large volume of work they have to do.Having an event company goes beyond having a complimentary card or an office somewhere in the highbrow area of key cities like Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt.  There are several event management companies but only few does it right.
