2026 OFALA KICKS HOLDS NEXT WEEK WITH GLO SPONSORSHIP

Quest Merchant Bank Reinforces Its Commitment to Communities Through Questember 2026 

Classic Car Club of Nigeria Marks 10th Anniversary with ‘Nostalgic Lagos’ at Lagos Polo Club 

In a bold move that reinforces its position as one of the country’s most people-forward organisations, Airtel Nigeria has promoted 91 employees across several business functions. These career advancements, which were announced last week, are centred on employee performance, wellbeing, and inclusion.
These promotions are not just numbers; they are stories of excellence, dedication, and the company’s steadfast commitment to building a strong talent pipeline. By championing internal mobility and career growth, Airtel continues to offer its people more than just jobs but a journey of growth.
Speaking on the significance of these employee strides, Airtel Nigeria CEO Dinesh Balsingh, said: “At Airtel Nigeria, we believe people are our greatest asset. That’s why we will continue to reward top performers, not just as a gesture, but as a principle. When you recognise excellence, you inspire more of it. Our vision is to build a culture where hard work is seen, growth is enabled, and every team member feels empowered to give their best. As we move forward, we remain committed to creating an environment where talent thrives and our people continue to grow with the business.”
Beyond professional development, Airtel Nigeria has taken a major step toward supporting the emotional and mental well-being of its workforce with the introduction of a comprehensive Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
This initiative provides employees and their families with access to professional counselling, including a dedicated helpline to support them through personal loss, stress, or other life challenges. This human-first approach reflects the company’s recognition that every high-performing employee is first and foremost a whole person with dreams, families, and feelings.
Additionally, as part of its long-standing vision for an inclusive workplace, Airtel Nigeria has also made remarkable progress on gender diversity. With women now representing 26.7% of the workforce and a clear path towards a 30% benchmark, the company’s investment in gender inclusion is intentional and data-driven. Through initiatives like the Airtel Women Network, the company is empowering female professionals to lead, innovate, and inspire.
Building on the CEO’s remarks, Adebimpe Ayo-Elias, Director of Human Resources and Administration at Airtel Nigeria, further emphasised the company’s commitment to human capital development and workplace inclusion.
“At Airtel, we know our people don’t leave their emotions at the door. That’s why our Employee Assistance Program is so important; it’s about creating a culture where everyone feels heard, supported, and safe, even in difficult moments. But our work doesn’t stop there. With every woman who rises and every young talent we nurture, we’re shaping a workplace that’s not only high-performing but truly inclusive, resilient, and reflective of the society we serve,” she said.
These achievements reflect Airtel Nigeria’s deeper commitment to prioritising its people by recognising and investing in their growth and well-being. Airtel is not only redefining telecoms but also helping shape the future of work in Nigeria.

        The Classic Car Club of Nigeria has celebrated its 10th anniversary with Nostalgic Lagos, a classic car exhibition held on October 1 at the Lagos Polo Club, Ikoyi, as part of activities marking Nigeria’s Independence Day. The event brought together classic car collectors, enthusiasts, families, friends and distinguished guests for a celebration of vintage automobiles and the memories, history and heritage associated with them. Organised around the theme of nostalgia and heritage, the event featured an impressive collection of classic automobiles, alongside a drive and showcase, fashion and style, and family-oriented activities. The celebration provided guests with an opportunity to view some of the country’s cherished vintage vehicles while connecting with the stories behind them. Speaking at the event, Yomi Badejo-Okusanya, a classic car collector and one of the event’s sponsors, said the vehicles represented more than their physical and mechanical value, noting that many were connected to personal memories and significant moments in people’s lives. “For some of us, it’s nostalgic. We carry fond memories of some of those cars. Some of them took us to school, some of them were driven by our parents, some by our uncles, and some of them we owned when we started. So every car has a history and tells a story. That’s the most important thing.” Badejo-Okusanya, who described himself as a storyteller and public relations consultant, stressed the importance of preserving the history represented by the vehicles. “You must treasure heritage, treasure tradition. There can’t be a future without a history. So this is the history that we carry here.” He added that every vehicle at the exhibition had a story, pointing to his own Mercedes-Benz, which he described as “Obokun,” and recalling its significance during the period when it was introduced in Nigeria. “Every single one has a history and I can tell you the history, the story. Every single one has a story.” According to him, the appeal of classic cars extends beyond ownership, as the vehicles provide an opportunity for people to reconnect with different periods of Nigeria’s history and share experiences across generations. Dapo Otunla, Chairman and Co-founder of the Classic Car Club of Nigeria, said the Club’s activities have continued to bring together people who share a passion for classic automobiles, including enthusiasts who do not own vintage cars themselves. “It’s the kind of thing where we come together with our cars, friends and affiliates. Even people who don’t own cars join us. We just enjoy the time, admire the cars and share experiences,” Otunla said. Founded in 2016, the Classic Car Club of Nigeria has grown over the past decade into a community of more than 120 members, organising classic car drives, exhibitions and social gatherings that promote the appreciation and preservation of vintage automobiles. The anniversary celebration also highlighted the role of classic cars in preserving Nigeria’s motoring heritage. Many of the vehicles displayed at Nostalgic Lagos were once familiar sights on Nigerian roads and remain associated with different generations and periods of the country’s social history. The Club has also continued to advocate for greater recognition of classic motoring as part of Nigeria’s cultural and tourism offering, with Otunla previously calling for increased support to develop classic car exhibitions and activities across Nigeria and the wider West African region. Nostalgic Lagos was particularly significant as it coincided with Nigeria’s Independence Day, providing an opportunity for guests to reflect on the country’s journey while celebrating vehicles that have formed part of its history....
