We have seen different fairs from different industries in the past like, Wedding fair, E-commerce fair, Trade fair, Telco fair and many others, but for the first time E-Business fair gets to come to Nigeria as Connect Nigeria is set to host it.
In line with its mission to connect businesses to markets in a convenient, fast, and easy way, this year’s fair is themed “E-Business and the Growth of Your Enterprise”, which underscores the role of information and communication technology (ICT) in the economy.
Emeka Okafor, CEO, Connect Nigeria, noted that the number of internet users as well as people who conduct business transactions through electronic means continues to grow. He explained that the idea behind the e-business fair is to increase awareness, educate the society, as well as foster the cashless policy introduced by the Central Bank of Nigeria and the myriad opportunities that accrue from doing business electronically.
“With the growth of broadband internet technology in Nigeria, and the emergence of the cashless policy, it is evident that e-commerce will play a crucial role in Nigeria’s economy in the coming years. As an organisation that is built on promoting businesses and information access in Nigeria, we feel obliged to convene this event with the intent to promote Nigeria’s place in the global economy,” Okafor explains further.
Connect Nigeria’s e-business fair will also be a platform to discuss issues that pertain to online security and how to include SMEs and remote areas with limited internet access. Different organisations will be present at the e-business fair to showcase their brands, products and services, and enlighten their customers on issues relevant to e-commerce.
