The major challenge in automobile is to identify the fault of each vehicle, and to carryout the work for our clients because, time is very important to our clients, most of vehicle owner wants their vehicles fix within shortest time, and relationships is very important to us.
The competitors are local workshops without good tools to work and many of this workshops has damage their customers vehicle that most of the vehicle owners are seriously searching for a better alternative workshop who can handle their vehicles professionaly.
Now our workshop has an altramodern oven baking painting machine to help our customers get the best painting of their vehicles, we also have upto date diagnosis machine to detect the fault of each vehicle and professional mechanic and electrician to rectify any malfunction detected.
If we are able to equip our workshop, we expect a very huge turnover from various services we will be rendering for our various customers.

Another one is an adequate security guard in the day and night for the safety of customers property..

The decision to accept credit card payments on your site shouldn’t be taken lightly. Here are a few questions you should ask yourself before you even look up what a ‘payment gateway’ is:
Will it improve my bottom line? For most businesses, being able to complete a sale over the Internet will make them more money. It will allow you to capitalise on impulse buys and increase cross-selling and up-selling opportunities. However, if, for example, your business just sells one service (eg. you as a consultant), setting up a full payment process for your website might not be the best option.
Will my customers appreciate it? Almost certainly, but not definitely. In a world of instant gratification, allowing customers to buy at their leisure with the click of a mouse is definitely a plus. However, if, for example, your expertise is the thing on sale, a more personal exchange might be more what your customers are looking for.
Is it worth the risk? Setting up a payment process is a lot more complicated than simply designing an attractive ‘Buy Now’ button. It costs money and time, which, if the setup is executed poorly or isn’t right for your business, will be wasted. Balance this risk against your potential gains and you’ll have your answer.
If you’ve made it through the above gauntlet and are still set on allowing your website to accept credit card payments, it’s important you start with a basic idea of how the payment process usually works. There are three steps:
Your customer chooses what they want to purchase and clicks the ‘Buy Now’ button. Shopping cart software will make this process easier and more fruitful for you.
The customer is then taken to a secure page (with an SSL Certificate) where they’ll enter their card details. These will then get sent to a Payment Gateway, a sort of mediator between the different parties involved.
The Payment Gateway will query the customer’s bank and your merchant account to check the payment can go ahead. That information is then relayed back to your website and, if all is well, the money will ‘change hands’ and you’ll be able to proceed with delivering the purchased item.
It varies massively. The shopping cart software, the payment gateway and the merchant account will all cost money. You’ll either have to pay up front (most likely with the software), through ongoing transaction fees or when you want to improve or downsize your setup. Beware of anything that looks free; it almost certainly isn’t and you’ll end up paying hidden charges or fines.
The exception to that rule are Paypal and Google Checkout (they merges the payment gateway and the merchant account and offer various shopping cart tools). They are free to setup in their simplest form (and there are no hidden charges), but you’ll pay a higher transaction fee and might struggle with scaling.
If your business is right for online card payments, start by doing a few hours research. If time and upfront costs are an issue, Paypal or Google Checkout are probably your best bet, but don’t just settle for them; make sure you look for any alternatives once you have time/money. If time and money aren’t such a problem, spend a day or two looking at your options. It might take a while to apply for a Merchant Account, so that’s probably the best place to start. Make sure to read independent reviews of all of the features you want to use and don’t be afraid to ask questions!

West African College of Physicians Confers Honorary Degree on President Julius Maada Bio in Freetown – Sierra Leone State House – The Republic of Sierra Leone State House
State House, Freetown, Thursday 8 October 2018 – The West African College of Physicians has conferred an honorary degree on His Excellency President Julius Maada Bio at State House in Freetown, making him the ninth Awardee of the honorary fellowship degree since the college’s establishment in Lagos, Nigeria in 1976.
President of the College, Dr Ifeoma Egbuonu, thanked President Bio for receiving the honour, in Latin a degree honoris causa. She said the college would continue to contribute to the country’s health sector and had done so especially during the Ebola Virus Disease outbreak. She added that they were pleased to be in the country again to get a first-hand experience of the status of medical facilities after the 2014 outbreak. She said the college wanted to see that they were actually functional in the country.
Madam Egbuonu disclosed that the college was pleased with President Bio’s vision for human capital development. She noted that the college had identified Sierra Leone as a country with special needs and that they were paying keen attention to that. She pleaded with President Bio to pay attention to post-graduate programmes for medical personnel that would improve on the health sector.
“We want to congratulate you on your victory. We want to see that the purpose for which the college was established is fully achieved in Sierra Leone. We know what difference it will have made if we had enough health manpower when the Ebola crisis was on. So, we are here to encourage our fellows in the Sierra Leone Chapter to see that the aims and objectives of the college are met,” she said.
“Your Excellency, we know that you are new in office but we are aware of your interest and commitment to education at all levels, which includes medical education. We want to see that local health workers in the sub-region become specialists that will be able to handle future health challenges. Medical treatment is quite expensive but as people who have an interest in the sub-region we want you to use your office to plead with other Heads of State to take health issues very seriously,” she appealed.
On his part, President Bio thanked the college for considering him for such an honour. He said he was pleased with the level of transparency involved in the leadership structure of the college. He acknowledged that there was a huge medical gap in the country but was happy with the work of the college in the country and the sub-region.
President Bio noted that education and development were impossible without a solid health system, adding that his government was committed to improving the country’s health sector. He stated that it was sad that the Ebola outbreak took away a lot of medical personnel, saying that his government was trying to set up a robust medical system fit for purpose.
“I want to thank all of you for considering me for this honour. I have committed this government to human capital development and within six months we have started the process to make sure that what I said is actualised. Already, we have launched the Free Quality Education that will give us an educated society but we need to look into the health sector again as we are in dire need of a working health system. It is good you are here to help us in this process,” he said.
The West African College of Physicians is responsible for the postgraduate specialist training of doctors. It also organises educational and scientific programmes, including an Annual General and Scientific Meeting that rotates through the various member countries.
