Hence, in her summation, lifestyle fitness coach, Esta Richards listed gender inequality and insensitivity as one of the barriers against women. She noted that there are things peculiar to being a woman like menstrual circle, menopause, pregnancy, and victimization at the workplace, arguing that these things need to be considered. “Being a woman does not reduce the quality of our work just because we are going through a phase, one of which is nine months that leads to giving birth and life to one of the most incredible species called men who are doing great at work. These men are born of women. So, imagine if we didn’t have women”, Richards asks rhetorically.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #242424; direction: ltr; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin: 0px 0cm; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj628aWZJRnWGQF0IUjyEHHr1iZbfNrfYgtXp6rsQCyHUQyhzILgK-1mGsGA0DM6bdGP_oW0YIwVzhgxIj4XElRHXwU220APyNWOI8gs7bz7-ZPFLtSxkUk7Wxuc7FEAPY2dYVYVZqNeHQ2p7sI0Xltk5nm70rNiisfcrx21scvYiLVDhahx1TMqpL10byQ/s680/GIEH3BNXsAA3Xpn.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="680" data-original-width="565" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj628aWZJRnWGQF0IUjyEHHr1iZbfNrfYgtXp6rsQCyHUQyhzILgK-1mGsGA0DM6bdGP_oW0YIwVzhgxIj4XElRHXwU220APyNWOI8gs7bz7-ZPFLtSxkUk7Wxuc7FEAPY2dYVYVZqNeHQ2p7sI0Xltk5nm70rNiisfcrx21scvYiLVDhahx1TMqpL10byQ/w532-h640/GIEH3BNXsAA3Xpn.jpeg" width="532" /></a></div><br /><span style="border: 0px; color: black !important; font-family: "Maven Pro"; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 13pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br aria-hidden="true" /></span><p></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #242424; direction: ltr; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin: 0px 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="border: 0px; color: black !important; font-family: "Maven Pro"; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 13pt; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Speakers at the Webinar all reemphasized that collaboration across the board, trust, self-belief, mentoring, education, work-life integration, gender-sensitive value status, responsibility, and being intentional are most important for women in this current global economic reality regardless of the barriers.

revolutionize the landscape of the Nigerian advertising industry, the
Advertising Practitioners Council of Nigeria (ARCON) has unveiled a
comprehensive set of initiatives aimed at promoting transparency, local talent,
and sustainable growth. These groundbreaking reforms are set to reshape the
industry and pave the way for a more equitable and prosperous future.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Speaking
recently at a press conference at the Protea Hotel Ikeja The Director General<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>of The ADVERTISING REGULATORY COUNCIL OF
NIGERIA (ARCON), DR. OLALEKAN FADOLAPO, FCA, fnimn, frpa spoke passionately
about his intentional commitment to bringing equity into the Nigerian marketing
communications landscape. Below are some excerpts of the <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">1.
Professional Indemnity for Sectoral Groups As part of the ongoing advertising
industry reform and the need to strengthen advertising agencies service
delivery, build capaci and capabili as well ensure long term stabili in the
industry, each sectoral group, i.e. AAAN, EXMAN, MIPAN and OAAN is to provide
N1B (One Billion Naira) professional industry insurance cover for its members.
This covers professional indemnity for members of their Association as part of
the corporate license requirements. The full implementation of the corporate
license regime will take effect from April 1, 2024.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>2. Capital Structure, Working Capital, etc.
There is an urgent need to review the capital structure and working capital
requirement of the advertisement agencies in line with economic realities and
capacity building programmes of ARCON. ARCON is currently in talk with the Heads
of Advertising Sectoral Groups (HASG) and other relevant stakeholders on the
minimum capital requirement for registration and license as an advertisement
agency. Regulatory guidelines will be issued as soon a position is taken on
this.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">3. 45 Days
Payment Threshold: ARCON, in collaboration with key government agencies such as
the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the National
Broadcasting Commission (NBC), is championing the implementation of a 45-day
payment threshold in the advertising sector. This policy aims to combat
economic sabotage and ensure timely payments within the industry, thereby
safeguarding the interests of stakeholders and fostering financial stability. Globally,
payment threshold is a policy in the advertising industry. Some stakeholders
have been offering Nigerian media and other service providers 120 days payment
circle, thereby impoverishing the Nigerian advertising industry. These same
stakeholders prepay foreign media houses operating in Nigeria for media
services. Some had insisted on old practices that have led to industry debt and
exploitation of media owners. We can no longer allow this to continue.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">4. Use of
Local Talents: Recognizing the importance of promoting local talent and
culture, ARCON has instituted regulations mandating the primary consideration
of Nigerian models and voices in advertisements targeting the Nigerian market.
Exceptions for foreign talent will only be granted under specific
circumstances, subject to formal approval. This initiative seeks to empower
Nigerian creatives and enhance cultural representation in advertising
campaigns.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">5.Data Bank
for Advertisement Agencies: ARCON has initiated a national audit of
advertisement agencies to establish a comprehensive data bank in line with its
statutory obligations. This audit aims to ensure that only licensed agencies
are engaged in advertising activities, promoting accountability and
professionalism within the industry. The forthcoming directory of advertising
agencies will serve as a valuable resource for stakeholders and facilitate
informed decision-making.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">6.Media
Rates Deregulation: In a significant move towards market-driven practices,
ARCON reaffirms the deregulation of media rates in the Nigerian advertising
industry. This stance underscores the principle of free-market dynamics,
emphasizing the autonomy of Nigerian media houses in determining their rates.
By fostering a competitive environment, this policy encourages innovation and
efficiency while respecting the autonomy of media organizations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">7.Engagement
and Disengagement Protocol: ARCON has implemented a stringent engagement and
disengagement protocol outlined in the Advertising Industry Standard of
Practice (AISOP). This framework ensures fair and transparent procedures for
agency engagements and disengagements, mitigating potential conflicts and
promoting ethical conduct within the industry. Violations of these protocols
will be subject to investigation and appropriate sanctions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">8.Publication
of ARCON Register of Practitioners: To combat illegal advertising practices and
enhance regulatory oversight, ARCON will publish its membership register
following a comprehensive review process. This measure aims to promote
transparency and accountability among practitioners, safeguarding the integrity
of the advertising profession and protecting the interests of stakeholders.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">9.Stoppage
of Imported Advertisement in Nigeria: ARCON advocates for the localization of
advertisement production to stimulate economic growth and job creation within
Nigeria. By discouraging the importation of advertisements, ARCON seeks to
bolster domestic industries, empower local talent, and retain capital within
the Nigerian economy. Heavy taxation on imported advertisements aims to
incentivize domestic production and support indigenous businesses.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">10.National
Policy on Out-of-Home (OOH) Advertising: ARCON, in collaboration with relevant
stakeholders, is developing a comprehensive regulatory framework for
out-of-home (OOH) advertising. This initiative aims to standardize practices,
enhance accountability, and promote sustainable growth within the OOH
advertising sector. Industry participation will be solicited to ensure the
framework reflects the diverse needs and perspectives of stakeholders.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Throwing
more light on these landmark advancements, the DG when asked if the reason why
most production houses on the behest of their clients move their productions
abroad for the sake of quality and global standard equipment isn’t a good
enough reason, he emphasized that Nigerian studios are equal to the task and there
have been training and retraining partnerships with various sectoral groups to
achieve this purpose. He urged industry stake holders to understand that it
would not be business as usual where foreign agency Creative Directors would be
given premium priorities over and above Nigerian creative directors.He also stated that new dynamics in the (Out of Home)OOH Sector has necessitated the steps to regulate and engage more with operators in the system in order to protect consumers and maintain professionalism in that sector since technology has overridden some models of engagement in the past. .<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">In conclusion,ARCON's
visionary reforms represent a pivotal moment for the Nigerian advertising
industry, signaling a transformative shift towards transparency,
accountability, and local empowerment. These initiatives underscore ARCON's
commitment to fostering a vibrant and sustainable advertising ecosystem that
benefits all stakeholders. With the support of industry players and regulatory
agencies, with these antecedents ARCON is poised to usher in a new era of
prosperity and innovation in Nigerian advertising.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

It was just existing in name with little or nothing to show for it but all that has now become a thing of the past. Thanks to the new leadership of the agency. In particular, it’s Executive Vice-Chairman, Mr. Irukera, who rose like a phoenix from the ashes and revitalized FCCPC and is worthy of commendation.</p><p>“What I find most interesting is how the Commission under Irukera has been able to gain mileage in protecting the rights of about 220 million people in 774 local governments of Nigeria with very meagre human and other resources. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg77z0_OA4E-sPl2JMJ6D9hq42QWMRJomlujQ7iURH2bfMZ3PmUntrrngwj3gzCS4shNgzU1D_OxagNAMgxU0E5GZaCMW42n3HU4I87xC758rPEZC-0c0q-QCEju4DY3dWIRjsg3E14oxvdzOBmxd2Q0IdH9cXvPsAaTmL1qORUeScWj3Hpk3zrSSWhNXVW/s2136/FCCPC-Logo.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1498" data-original-width="2136" height="448" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg77z0_OA4E-sPl2JMJ6D9hq42QWMRJomlujQ7iURH2bfMZ3PmUntrrngwj3gzCS4shNgzU1D_OxagNAMgxU0E5GZaCMW42n3HU4I87xC758rPEZC-0c0q-QCEju4DY3dWIRjsg3E14oxvdzOBmxd2Q0IdH9cXvPsAaTmL1qORUeScWj3Hpk3zrSSWhNXVW/w640-h448/FCCPC-Logo.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">Innocently, we are all consuming one thing or the other every day in food and drinks and even services every day and the eggheads in the Commission are watching over us jealously, asking questions from manufacturers and service providers and protecting our rights.

To me, Irukera and his team are silent achievers that must be commended and celebrated,” Okoro further stated.</p><p> Responding, the EVC, who was represented by the Head, FCCPC Lagos Office, Mrs Susie Onwuka, said: “This is humbling to say the least and I appreciate the leadership of the Brand Journalists Association of Nigeria (BJAN) for considering FCCPC worthy of this recognition. Having said that, I want to dedicate the award to my team at the Commission who share my dream and work round the clock since I assumed office to sanitize the market. We hear and say it everyday that consumers are king but at FCCPC, we don’t want to pay lip service to this statement. We don’t believe in sloganeering simply to get traction or news mention, we want consumers to be respected and we want their rights protected. To me, this is a wakeup call for us to do more and we are not looking back”.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer">navbar</div>brandworldtv.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17150286424486027154noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-363468440468980418.post-8135011585947336482023-12-19T12:36:00.000-08:002023-12-19T13:01:45.963-08:00Experts advocate increased stakeholder engagement to achieve better PPP projects<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyBvDoPHh8_puiCYpAEtG4SbnXBPfWNBw-upM3blAFAWSMLE3yAHse8QGzkFU0LmMH3y3Z_PxEujKotvAHOVLVJ60y4tVl0V56_DsgS3AsbGCRpTkDveE5_Da4q4V-saunMLa7EsQdpfAAsKNkDVPwMUjOUhRzy3RGniVuo10vEgI9VCDzLhCLlfNnWgbI/s1080/WhatsApp%20Image%202023-12-18%20at%203.20.02%20PM%20(1).jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="557" data-original-width="1080" height="330" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyBvDoPHh8_puiCYpAEtG4SbnXBPfWNBw-upM3blAFAWSMLE3yAHse8QGzkFU0LmMH3y3Z_PxEujKotvAHOVLVJ60y4tVl0V56_DsgS3AsbGCRpTkDveE5_Da4q4V-saunMLa7EsQdpfAAsKNkDVPwMUjOUhRzy3RGniVuo10vEgI9VCDzLhCLlfNnWgbI/w640-h330/WhatsApp%20Image%202023-12-18%20at%203.20.02%20PM%20(1).jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><b>L-R Victoria Uwadoka Corporate Communications and Public Affairs Mangaer,Nestle Nigeria,Mr Osamede Uwubanmwen President ADVAN, Dr Olajumoke Akiode Convener Women in Infrastructure Community Africa (WICA), Clara Chinwe Okoro Chairman BJAN and Mr Tony Agenmonmen fnimn Managing Consultant OE&E .</b><br /><p>Experts have attributed the resistance usually put up by communities during Public Private Partnership projects in the country to the perception citizens have of government - with trust deficit and lack of integrity resulting from inadequate stakeholder engagement prior to commencement of the projects.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSTeMkPg9PZAaAL6hyZ8gsoXFfDoKR2pQxAsH7Tp2bgH-0PGeHBWlxcgbjHKE81p3_RjnrxWAZOD54ismJwcxXCgbTWsch8YmyPLkqiyMCupKAJzU9_JTAcyMHTIVrCIfzR988be80HSkhwU4ZivLT8ohPFRx72zFhdryNAo3XzlJ1dEQlQmA5yeI3iLXz/s1080/WhatsApp%20Image%202023-12-18%20at%203.20.01%20PM%20(2).jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="562" data-original-width="1080" height="334" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSTeMkPg9PZAaAL6hyZ8gsoXFfDoKR2pQxAsH7Tp2bgH-0PGeHBWlxcgbjHKE81p3_RjnrxWAZOD54ismJwcxXCgbTWsch8YmyPLkqiyMCupKAJzU9_JTAcyMHTIVrCIfzR988be80HSkhwU4ZivLT8ohPFRx72zFhdryNAo3XzlJ1dEQlQmA5yeI3iLXz/w640-h334/WhatsApp%20Image%202023-12-18%20at%203.20.01%20PM%20(2).jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>Integrated Marketing Communications experts made this known during the 11th edition of Brands and Marketing Conference 2023 hosted by Brand Journalists Association of Nigeria (BJAN), on Friday, December 15, 2023 at Oriental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhld6pk5RYes2b_niDHXYBnT1liqD5Ku6tzO0YA8kdpOlJ4AvkW0ScwCt9jMM2uxmct7XCqZOAIcm3b7WL9xJ4GoYUZwsL06aNjMdUFYeBV1V_HQoOo0vA4dGLUKgLhYtxNDXPec3It8bOv95KfP6qAOQ1iU5dEwUHk1B54PmlNy0lbolcCkj9bVIzZYKll/s1080/WhatsApp%20Image%202023-12-18%20at%203.20.03%20PM%20(2).jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="715" data-original-width="1080" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhld6pk5RYes2b_niDHXYBnT1liqD5Ku6tzO0YA8kdpOlJ4AvkW0ScwCt9jMM2uxmct7XCqZOAIcm3b7WL9xJ4GoYUZwsL06aNjMdUFYeBV1V_HQoOo0vA4dGLUKgLhYtxNDXPec3It8bOv95KfP6qAOQ1iU5dEwUHk1B54PmlNy0lbolcCkj9bVIzZYKll/w640-h424/WhatsApp%20Image%202023-12-18%20at%203.20.03%20PM%20(2).jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>Featured as members of the discussion panel were Victoria Uwadoka, Corporate Communications & Public Affairs Manager, Nestle Nigeria; Godfrey Adejumoh, Head, Corporate Communications & Sustainable Business, Unilever Nigeria and Adeola Kayode, Head of Brands & Creative Services, 9Mobile while the session was moderated by Sola Salako- Ajulo, Hon.
