Deck the halls with boughs of holly, fa la la la la, la la la la.

Soon, we will hear joyful carols, and the scent of jollof rice will waft through our homes. It’s a time of cheer and unwrapping of boxes. As children anticipate gifts, the question on every parent’s mind is: What gifts will I place underneath the Christmas tree?

As women worldwide planned to celebrate International Women’s Day on 8 March 2025, the women of Imose Technologies gathered for a breakfast meeting on Friday 7 March.

The event hosted by our Executive Director, Taiye Osayi-Izedonmwen, with the guest speaker as Mrs Yemi Ojo-Aromokudu, Founder, Yela Education Services and former Chairman of Family Life Conference, was themed “Charge.” 

“Charge” was our company’s expression of the global theme, “Accelerate Action,” and our guest speaker, Mrs Ojo-Aromokudu, started her talk by stating that women must work twice as hard as men to be respected and acknowledged in society and business. Thereafter, she gave her “charge” to women as follows:

1. Value – Women will not be given respect and acknowledgement because they are women or because they are beautiful. To be respected, they must value themselves and let people know how they want to be addressed.  

2. Boldness – Women who take charge are bold. The world will not hand you what you want or deserve. Being introverted is not an excuse for not taking charge.

3. Vision – A woman who will accelerate and take charge of her life must have a vision. She must envision her life for the next five to 10 years, write it down and pursue it. That is how she will be able to track and evaluate her achievements in future. Her vision should be for her entire life, not just about her job—as a woman, wife, mother and career woman. The vision will be reviewed, rewritten and revised depending on the seasons of life. The vision must also be supported by a purpose and goals to make it achievable.

4. Community – Every woman must have a community. In her community, there must be burden bearers who share in her challenges and push her to attain her goals and gatekeepers who hold keys to open doors to opportunities. A woman who is charged and accelerating must also use the opportunities presented by gatekeepers wisely, or they will shut the door. The other category of people women should have people in their community are promoters and counsellors.

5. Prioritising self – Women must be kind to themselves.  They must proactively make time to relax and de-stress. Every woman de-stresses differently, so know yourself and how you de-stress. Women must be intentional about prioritising their mental, emotional and physical health.

6. Self-belief – Understand your strengths because everyone has weaknesses, but self-belief enables you to pick up yourself when you fail. It is okay to fall, but when you fall, it is a crime to remain there. One of the ways to get back up is to reach out and ask for help. Asking for help is a strength and not a weakness.

7. Working smart – Women must get their priorities right, set goals and break their goals into smaller tasks to make them more achievable. Dispose of non-value-adding relationships. Be a God-pleaser and not a man-pleaser. Don’t work for your salary; work for the improvement and growth of the company. Don’t work for money; work for wealth. Money is spent but wealth can be relationships. Wealth is enduring and keeps growing.

To wrap up the meeting, our Executive Director reiterated the importance of value: women valuing themselves and creating value. She stated that this can be achieved through self-awareness, urging women to seek resources and books to help them become self-aware.

On Friday, we had the privilege of hosting the Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Dr. ’Bosun Tijani, at our assembly factory in Lagos. During his visit, the Minister witnessed firsthand the assembly processes behind our mobile phones, tablets, and other devices.

In a welcome address, our Chairman and Founder, Osayi Izedonmwen, provided Dr. Tijani with an overview of our journey, from importing devices to local assembly and becoming the leading indigenous mobile phone and tablet brand in West Africa.

“We began local assembly with our flagship IM-10 desktop phones in 2018. By 2021, we introduced our Omotab series, children’s educational tablets that quickly became the highest-selling indigenous tablets in the region,” Izedonmwen shared.

During the visit, Dr. Tijani remarked that “meaningful connectivity cannot be achieved without affordable devices.” His visit aimed to explore ways the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy could support Nigerian companies like ours in simplifying production processes, ensuring our products are both available and accessible to Nigerians.

Our Chairman and Founder emphasized the need for affordability in the smartphone market, stating, “For Nigeria to achieve pervasive broadband access, we must prioritize affordable smartphones, especially for low-income earners and underserved communities.”

He also pointed out the significant cost burden of batteries in smartphones, proposing that local production of lithium batteries could drastically reduce these costs. “Nigeria is rich in lithium resources, yet much of it is currently exported. As a leader in smart device production, we see an opportunity for backward integration. We envision a future where we lead the charge in producing smartphone batteries right here in Nigeria.”

At Imose Technologies, we are committed to driving innovation, creating affordable tech solutions for Nigerians, and supporting the growth of the digital economy. We believe that with the right support, we can build a future where quality technology is accessible to all Nigerians.

Imose Technologies and its partner, the National Agency for Science and Engineering
Infrastructure (NASENI), have secured critical stakeholder buy-in for the NASENI Zedon X-
Pro laptop and Opor tablet. This occurred during the team’s recent visit to the National
Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) and the Nigerian Communications
Commission (NCC) in Abuja.

Unveiling the devices to both stakeholders, the Chairman/Founder of Imose Technologies,
Osayi Izedonmwen highlighted affordability, reliability, versatility and battery efficiency as
some of the key features of the smart devices, adding that they are designed to cater to the
unique needs of the Nigerian market.

Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi, the Director-General and CEO of NITDA was elated to see the
NASENI smart devices manufactured in Nigeria by Imose Technologies, a NITDA-certified
original equipment manufacturer (OEM).

Mr Abdullahi emphasised the importance of the strategic partnership between NASENI and
Imose Technologies, describing it as a “strategic move” that would reduce capital flight, build
local capacity for Nigerian OEMs and create jobs for the youth.

Also, the Special Assistant, Technical to the EVC/CEO of NCC, Dr. Umar Abdullahi said
NASENI’s mission is in line with the Commission’s mandate to patronise indigenous
products to bridge the digital divide and improve telecommunications access to all Nigerians.
With the introduction of the NASENI Zedon X-Pro laptop and Opor tablet, Imose
Technologies has shown its commitment to innovation and quality as we aim to compete on
both local and international stages.

By prioritising indigenous production, this partnership is set to enhance Nigeria’s
technological infrastructure, paving the way for further developments and opportunities
within the sector.

Imosé Technologies has instituted a technical training academy to train young and
unemployed Nigerians in the repair of mobile devices, graphic design using mobile apps, and
product photography. The academy which will run a three-month intensive certification
programme will see hundreds of youths aged 18 to 30 years from Abuja, Benin City, Ibadan,
Lagos, and Port-Harcourt empowered with skills to serve in the telecommunications sector
or launched into entrepreneurship.
As part of the company’s objective to have a structured, thorough and transparent process,
the registration process for interested candidates was made open via the Imosé
Technologies website and offline across its different service centres. A series of screenings
and interviews were conducted to select the first batch of 30 candidates from an applicant
pool of over 1000 for the programme, who kicked off their training on Saturday 9 April.
All trainees will be compensated at the end of the 3-month programme while the best two
performing candidates get instant employment with Imosé Technologies as well as cash
prizes.
Taiye Osayi-Izedonmwen, Executive Director, Imosé Technologies says that “The Imosé
Technical Training Academy is a corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative of Imosé
Technologies, and it is aimed at getting youths engaged and off the streets.
“It will be an annual programme and run in partnership with Upskill Learning Centre to
change the lives of passionate and interested Nigerian youths,” she said.
All participants will be provided with training kits to enable them to engage thoroughly in
the training, and the programme will be both theoretical and hands-on. The standard
training module in mobile repair will cover topics including; disassembling and assembling of
different mobile devices, mobile device motherboard and its components, working with
chips on the Printed Circuit Board (PCB), solder and de-solder, using solder jumpers,
replacing chips and components, charging ports, connectors and switches.
Since its creation in 2014, Imosé Technologies Limited has remained committed to the
development of high quality but affordable devices and platforms including mobile phones,
desktop phones, universal 4G MiFis and routers, and the Omotab 2 educational tablet that
enables access to information and knowledge for its valued customers. The Imosé Technical

Training Academy is one way the technology company contributes to its host communities
while grooming top talent that will deliver quality service and boost customers’ confidence
in the company.
