Our business vision embraces the unique concept of fulfilling infrastructure needs at the national and global economy levels through the execution of turnkey projects. The Group recognizes this as an effective method of hastening the pace of multi-disciplinary growth across the economy involving the optimal utilization of available resources and funds.

Contec Global’s team of multi-talented and multi-disciplinary professionals excel at envisioning and delivering bespoke project-based solutions that help meet the development needs of individual nations in the most efficient manner.

In all its ventures, Contec Global’s standpoint is that of the customer and the end-user, believing strongly that the long-term gains of an affiliation far outweigh the immediate spoils of business success. This underlying belief is what has given the Group its edge in executing highly successful government and sovereign projects in which we are viewed as trusted partners, not suppliers.

This long-term view has held us in good stead in highly sensitive areas that touch upon the security of a nation’s very sovereignty. The award of such projects as the setting up of e-Governance infrastructures in numerous nations bears testimony to this fact. The significance of this testimony lies not in the award of projects that show short term financial benefits… but the sheer enormity of opportunity for the Group on a long term basis, entrenched in the formidable partnerships and alliances thereby formed.

The Group is adept at ‘outside the box’ conceptualization and execution of projects using innovative financing methodologies, including B.O.O.T. (Build-Own-Operate-Transfer) basis, B.O.T. (Build-Own-Transfer), or PPP (Public-Private Partnership).

Having worked with various governments in both developed and underdeveloped regions, our Projects team have a wealth of experience which is translated directly onto each individual project that we undertake.

Some of our current sovereign project locations in the African continent include: Nigeria, Niger, Burundi, Uganda, DR Congo, South Sudan, Burkina Faso, Liberia Kenya and Sierra Leone.

CERPAC is the Combined Expatriate Residence Permit and Alien Card scheme, instituted in 1999 by Contec Global in Nigeria, with the aim of providing new and highly secure documents and cards for the identification of foreign residents. In addition, a central database keeps a record of all foreign national movements, whether within, into, or out of the country. This also enables the instant flagging up of all undesirable aliens. The organizational structure includes:

• Eight card production centres
• Two regional head offices
• Six zonal centres
• A central database connects all zonal offices to Abuja and Lagos

Project Stages
Stage 1
Setting up all eight production centres to produce residence permits, Alien Registration Cards and Alien Registration booklets

Stage 2
Automate procedures at all four international airports (Abuja, Lagos, Port Harcourt and Kano) with the introduction of special immigration gates. These would be actioned by swiping the CERPAC card through a reader on the gate

Stage 3
Stand-alone border control management system for checking expatriate movements in remote areas

Registration Process
The CERPAC forms are available for purchase at 39 branches of a national bank. A computerised record is kept of all forms that are sold by the bank to foreign nationals. The forms themselves are printed with high security features that render them forge- and tamper-proof.
