Local and small traders often face a silent struggle. The complexities of trade seemed like an insurmountable hurdle. Fluctuating exchange rates and the lack of a secure platform for seamless transactions have left them feeling trapped within the confines of their stall.
The aspirations for growth and economic prosperity for small businesses usually seem distant, obscured by the challenges that come with venturing into unknown markets.
The logistical issues in Nigeria’s developing regions encounter numerous challenges that hinder their growth and economic impact. Limited access to international markets, complex export-import procedures, and inadequate infrastructure contribute to their struggles. The absence of efficient and reliable channels for international trade further compounds their struggles, limiting their reach and stunting economic growth in the state.
