As I watched the promo video for the Connect Nigeria Business Fair 2019 edition, the testimony from one of the participants caught my attention as he captures, not only the spirit of Connect Nigeria but also my experience in the firm from Day 1: acceptance
The brand was registered in 2008, by the Founder and Managing Director, Emeka Okafor. According to Samson Ileh, who has worked in the firm from inception as the Financial and Operational Manager, Connect Nigeria is an online business portal where businesses and individuals can find useful information for business and personal use.
Connect Nigeria has a mission of organizing all Nigeria’s information, making it easily available to readers.
In my own language, [Connect Nigeria] is the Nigerian version of Google, where businesses and individuals can find necessary and go-to articles.
