“Aura by Transcorp Hotels” is an online platform that curates accommodation, staycations, cuisines and memorable lifestyle experiences. The platform was created for Transcorp Hotels, the hospitality subsidiary of Transcorp. It was launched on Thursday 8th of July in Abuja, by Nigeria’s Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel Abuja.
Commenting on the launch, Dupe Olusola, CEO of Transcorp Hotels, said “we recognise that technology is enabling a wave of innovation, amid greater adoption of digital solutions by consumers and businesses.

It is an important aspect of our diversification strategy, as we seek to create a hospitality ecosystem across Africa and offer greater value to consumers and our industry.”
The launch of Aura is the latest milestone in Africa Prudentia’sl digital technology strategy and builds on the successes of other cloud-based solutions created by the company. Obong Idiong, CEO of Africa Prudential said “Aura is significant in our journey, as a digital technology company.
"We have come a long way, since we launched our innovation lab three years ago. This platform is the latest evidence of the capacity that we have built, and we look forward to delivering further innovative solutions, that will improve the business experience of consumers and corporates.”
