Plateau set to host APC presidential flag-off rally Nov 15
As dust settles on the aftermath of this year’s Unity Cup in London, the event’s brand ambassador, Dr Drew Uyi has hailed the four-nation invitational competition for bringing forth many unforgettable moments.
Sports247 reports that Uyi, who is a globally-acclaimed corporate strategist, business instructor and FIFA-licensed agent, further hailed the 2026 Unity Cup for providing a glamorous spectacle of cultural excellence and unity.
Uyi further praised the quality of football that was on offer at Charlton Athletic FC’s Valley Stadium, where Nigeria defeated Jamaica 3-0 in last Saturday’s final, four days after they deflated Zimbabwe 2-0 in the opening match at same venue.
While noting that the Eagles snatched a fourth consecutive Unity Cup title, Uyi pointed out that the competition is aimed at fostering peace, community development and cultural harmony among participating countries, which he says were all achieved.
He waxed lyrical about the competition’s success in terms of social interactions, cultural connections and football artistry, all of which Uyi affirmed have huge potential to get better and bigger with the 2027 edition already in planning stage.
“We celebrate an incredible tournament that saw Nigeria crowned champions again. It was a celebration of football, culture and community, as the Unity Cup 2026 brought unforgettable moments and united fans from across the globe.
“We say thank you to all the players, supporters, partners and volunteers who made this year’s tournament such a success. Even as works have started to make Unity Cup 2027 better and bigger,” Uyi enthused confidently.
BY NKECHI NAECHE-ESEZOBOR—The Founder and Executive Chairman of Baywood Holdings Limited, Emperor Chris Baywood Ibe, has praised the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) for encouraging innovation and digital growth within the country’s financial services sector.
Speaking in Lagos, the Baywood founder, noted that the regulator’s forward-thinking approach recognizes digital ecosystems as the primary pathway to deepening insurance penetration and expanding access across Nigeria.
The commendation follows the recent deployment of an operational web aggregator license granted by NAICOM to CBI Partnering Insurtech Limited, a subsidiary of Baywood Holdings.
According to Ibe, this regulatory approval directly aligns with the Federal Government’s newly assented insurance policy, which is aimed at driving comprehensive financial inclusion through digital transformation.
He revealed that the company invested over a year into building a robust technological infrastructure before securing final regulatory approval.
Ibe stated that while the licensing process was stringent to acquire, it served as the final piece of the puzzle for the firm.
He emphasized that long before receiving the official nod, the company had invested heavily in building the technology and preparing for scale, operating on the principle that operational readiness must always precede market recognition.
Operating strictly as a technology-driven marketplace rather than a traditional insurance underwriter, CBI Partnering Insurtech plans to leverage its web aggregator status to bridge the gap between conventional insurance providers and the uninsured public.
The highly scalable platform is web-based, app-driven, and API-ready, specifically engineered to integrate insurers, Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs), corporate entities, SMEs, and individual retail consumers into a single, unified digital ecosystem.
