ZeeSoft Transforms Businesses with Array of IT Solutions
Zeesoft Nigeria Limited, a wholly Nigerian owned IT company is ever ready to add flavour to businesses in Nigeria as it is engaged in the business of helping companies formulate and execute effective online strategies through the design, development and deployment of web, mobile, intranet and extranet solutions, and the smooth integration of these solutions to the customer’s business processes.
The IT Company’s e-Business solutions form one complete integrated solution that helps to manage important business processes and workflows. For companies that already have websites, ZeeSoft helps to make the paradigm shift from using their website as an online version of the company brochure, to using it as a fully fledged medium for customer service delivery.
Deji Kadri, managing director, ZeeSoft, said the company prides herself as one that is consistently creating high quality world-class software solutions by developing, nurturing, and advancing local skills and talents in the attainment of the overall company goals, and this has resulted in enhancement of client’s businesses through the use of e-Business solution technologies.
He said that in the past two years, the company has launched several online initiatives, some of which include Zee-Recruit, Zee-Commerce, Zee-Intranet, Zee-Mobile-Bank, Zee-Online-Bank, Zee-Online-Insurance, Zee-Mobile-Insurance, Zee-Bulk-SMS, Zee-Stock-Analysis, Zee-School-Portal, Zee-Online-Ticketing, among others.
Kadri added that in partnership with IBM, Microsoft, QlikTech and Peer Software, the company is delivering disaster recovery/backup solutions and business intelligence/performance management solutions to the Nigerian market.
Intranet technology represents the next major step in the evolution of computing and holds a promise of increasing return on information technology investments, according to experts.
Zeesoft, he said has leveraged on this by deploying advanced and flexible intranet applications to various organizations amongst which are Banks, Insurance companies, State Governments, etc.
The benefit of the intranet to the end user is simplicity and speed of information access. For example, the interactive capability makes it easy for users to gather all the information they need from web pages quickly, just by clicking on the information they want to view.
Kadri said people do not have to spend long hours searching through arcane directories and servers. Providing instant and secure access to business critical information saves time and increases productivity, and publishing information online eliminates the production, duplication and distribution cost associated with paper. This according to him significantly reduces costs and leads to increased productivity.
ZeeSoft has developed and deployed an intranet application which has enabled businesses to provide services that would have been difficult and cost prohibitive to implement. Among the companies that have benefited from this applications are International Energy Insurance (IEI), Harmony Microfinance Bank, and InsurancePHB.
The ZeeSoft boss also explained that the company is about deploying eduportal for some selected Nigerian universities and professional examination bodies in Nigeria.
He said the software market has been plagued with imported third-party applications, and the company has made it a matter of policy to locally develop most of her applications in-house, which has been greatly accepted by businesses in Nigeria.
“In line with the ZeeSoft’s mission statement, it has partnered with IBM and QlikTech in the area of business intelligence in Nigeria and West Africa. As the sole representative of QlikTech in West Africa, we believe the future of business is in the ability of corporate executives to make accurate decisions using historical and available data.”
One of the company’s major achievements is the development and deployment of an online application for Consolidated Hallmark Insurance Company, that allows motorists to obtain a third party motor insurance online via the InterSwitch payment gateway. This implies that motorists can print their policy documents and insurance certificates online instantly.
ZeeSoft has also designed, developed and deployed Intranet Application used by over 10 companies in Nigeria, currently developing a banking application for Microfinance Banks in Nigeria, and also developing online insurance applications for major insurance companies in Nigeria.

UN Appoints Sa’id, Nigerian to Nuclear Panel

In a historic announcement, António Guterres, United Nations secretary-general has named Professor Rabia Sa’id, a Nigerian physicist, to a newly established global independent scientific panel tasked with assessing the devastating consequences of nuclear war.

Professor Rabia Sa’id,
This appointment positions Nigeria at the forefront of a critical international initiative focused on the future of global peace, health, and security.
The independent panel, comprising 21 world-renowned experts, was constituted following the adoption of General Assembly Resolution 79/238, titled “Nuclear War Effects and Scientific Research.”
The body will deliver the most comprehensive scientific analysis in decades on the potential physical and societal impacts of nuclear war at local, regional, and global levels, including climatic disruptions, environmental contamination, radiological effects, and socioeconomic fallout.
Professor Sa’id, a distinguished researcher in atmospheric and space-weather physics at Bayero University Kano and co-founder of Nigeria’s Association of Women Physicists, will bring unique African and Nigerian perspectives to the critical study.
Her expertise in atmospheric sciences is expected to play a pivotal role in the panel’s examination of post-nuclear climatic and environmental changes.
This marks a significant milestone for Nigeria, highlighting the country’s growing influence in global scientific diplomacy and peacebuilding initiatives.
Professor Sa’id joins a select group of experts from 21 countries spanning fields such as nuclear science, radiation studies, climate and environmental sciences, public health, agriculture, and economics.
The panel has been mandated to produce a comprehensive scientific report by 2027, to be presented at the United Nations General Assembly’s 82nd session.
Their findings will provide crucial guidance to the international community on the long-term risks posed by nuclear conflict, revisiting the issue almost four decades after the UN’s last major scientific report on the subject in 1988.
In keeping with the resolution, the panel was carefully constituted to ensure global geographical representation and gender balance. Professor Sa’id’s inclusion is a testament to Nigeria’s scientific excellence and commitment to global peace.
The Secretary-General underscored that the panel will consult widely with international organisations, civil society groups, and communities worldwide, ensuring local and regional concerns are adequately represented in the final report.
Nigeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has welcomed the appointment, noting it as “an important recognition of Nigeria’s voice in shaping a safer, more secure world.”
Professor Sa’id herself expressed pride in representing her country, stating, “Africa must have a seat at the table when global security and human survival are discussed.”
Other prominent panel members include scientists from Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Kazakhstan, Austria, Australia, South Africa, Japan, Turkey, China, and others, reflecting a broad spectrum of expertise and perspectives.
As global tensions and nuclear risks resurface on the international agenda, Nigeria’s participation in this critical scientific endeavour underscores its continued advocacy for disarmament and a nuclear-free future.

Prof. Chukwulobelu commended the GEFAS team for building such a dynamic platform, uniting diverse sectors under a common goal to support Anambra’s digital transformation and Governor Soludo’s re-election bid at the November 8 Governorship Poll, without requesting a dime from the government.
He noted that their efforts reflect growing youth support for his administration.
“Our goal is to secure victory in the upcoming election and continue delivering good governance to the people of Anambra. Anambra is APGA, and APGA is Anambra
There is no vacancy in Government House come November 2025,” he added.
He urged GEFAS members to remain steadfast and resilient in the face of opposition, adding that the government would collaborate with and complement GEFAS to ensure its vision is further integrated into governance for greater impact.
Also present to lend credence to the movement was the Special Adviser to the Governor on Political Matters, Dr. Alex Obiogbolu, who described GEFAS as a strategic and dynamic angle to the campaigns.
He lauded the initiative, stating that it exemplifies the power of digital tools in modern political campaigning and governance, and expressed optimism that a second term for Governor Soludo would unlock even more innovative solutions for Ndi Anambra.
In her remarks, Ms. Odili Jombo, a coordinator with GEFAS, shared the impressive results of the Alliance’s outreach so far.
She revealed that the GEFAS Call Centre, with its team of 21 dedicated agents, has already reached over 20,000 Ndi Anambra, gathering valuable insights on citizens’ sentiments about Mr. Governor’s performance and their disposition towards the upcoming elections, an experience she described, has recorded more positives than negatives.
She further announced that GEFAS will soon unveil a mobile WiFi bus, among other top-tier initiatives designed to change the campaign landscape and further position Anambra as a leading tech state.
The event was well attended by top government officials, members of the media, tech stakeholders, and other well-meaning Ndi Anambra, many of whom expressed amazement at what GEFAS has created and pledged unwavering support for them and Governor Soludo’s continuity at the November polls.
Explaining the passion behind GEFAS, the Convener and MD/CEO of the Anambra State ICT Agency, Chukwuemeka Fred Agbata, CFA, described the Alliance as a continuity-driven force working to align with Governor Soludo’s vision of moving Anambra from a departure lounge to a destination lounge.
“We believe that together, leveraging technology, we can drive the real change Anambra truly deserves,” he said.
With this milestone, GEFAS remains committed to driving technology-driven engagement that delivers practical impact and amplifies the Solution Government’s transformational strides.
