Gabon Selects Gemalto for Visa Management System

Gemalto, the world leader in digital security, has been selected as end-to-end solution provider by Gabon’s Department of Homeland Security DGDI to supply and implement a fully integrated border and visa management system.

The new scheme will strengthen national security, improve operational efficiency and enhance the traveling experience for people entering and leaving the Central African state.

The visa management system simplifies and speeds the issuance of visas, e-Visas and resident’s permits. This suite of applications was used to create Gabon’s e-Visa portal service in July enabling visitors to use the Internet to apply for a visa to enter the country.

Once the Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) is delivered, the visa is issued at Libreville International Airport upon arrival.

The solution is built around the centralised, back-office Coesys Visa and Border Management System. This supports automation of queries to databases – such as Interpol’s that alert authorities to potential threats and risks. In addition, the Automated Border Control kiosks now offer travelers rapid, ‘self-service’ passport checks at the country’s main airport which handles around one million passengers annually.

Intercontinental Bank Plc: Death so Painful

The banking entity was officially proclaimed DEAD by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in 2009. It was a mysterious and painful demise. But the soul of the bank has refused to Rest-in-Peace. Today, the living dead skeleton of the bank are rumbling in the belly of Access Bank Plc, fueling ghostly imaginations of resurrection or reincarnation. The Early Years Intercontinental Bank Plc was born in 1989 to the family of Dr. Erastus Akingbola. Early in life, the young bank exhibited elements of excellence, profitability and leadership in the banking sector. And when the whistle was blown on Banking Consolidation in 2005, the bank merged seamlessly with three other banking institutions: Equity Bank of Nigeria, Gateway Bank and Global Bank in October of that year. Naturally, the merging process made it bigger in terms of size, branch network, customer base and profitability.
