One thing you can be sure of at the Connect Nigeria eBusiness Fair is an abundance of speakers. Just because we introduced you to six speakers, that doesn’t mean they are the only speakers you will be listening to at the event. If you can recall, you’ll notice that the event is for the whole all day. What better use of time than to get as much knowledge from a representative of global businesses to every sector of SMEs in Nigeria. Below are some other speakers, who will be speaking at the event as well:
