ConnectNigeria.com has announced its second annual e-Business Fair tagged ‘’E-business and the Growth of Your Enterprise Part II’’ will hold in October 2014.

According to Elizbeth Ayoola, head, Online Editor, of the platform said that,  the overall objective is for SMEs to come and learn about how to grow their business using technology as well as to build stronger business network.

Last year the annual business fair recorded over 2,000.

She said it was aimed at connecting small business owners with service providers such as banks and ICT firms to discuss how to build and harness modern electronic technologies with their business operations under the caption, “Importance of a Cashless Society to Economic Growth & Development in Nigeria.”

Representatives from different financial and service institutions such as the Central Bank of Nigeria, Microsoft, Diamond Bank Plc, Google Nigeria, Etranzact, and Pro Works were also present at the event. They were able to cover issues pertaining to the use of electronic systems in business transaction, money transfer, and internet connectivity.

There was a range of sponsors that helped make the first ever e-Business fair possible such as Stanbic IBTC Bank, First Bank, First Monie, Diamond Bank, Leatherworld, and Etranzact.

There was also an amalgam of presentations, as well as a raffle.
