Ahead of Nigeria’s 53^rd Independent Anniversary the Federal Government has placed orders for 53 gold-plated customized iPhones from Gold and Co, a British luxury products company. A Bristol-born businessman based in Dubai, Amjad Ali, told newsmen that the Nigerian government had joined his growing list of clients, which includes royal families, governments and minted customers across Russia, China and the Middle East.

The 42-year-old entrepreneur, who grew up in Glasgow, specifically said his company, Gold and Co, was working ahead to fulfill an order from the Nigerian government for 53 gold iPhones to mark the country’s 53^rd year of independence on October 1.

The iPhones will be engraved with the coat of arms, a shield and two horses, adding that each of the gold-plated devices costs between £3,000 and £50,000, a revelation, which will translate into about N662m on the luxury phones.
