Ekeh Predicts Bright Future for Nigerias e-Commerce Despite Challenges
The CEO of Africa’s foremost online shopping platform, Konga Group, Prince Nnamdi Ekeh, has expressed optimism in the e-commerce sector despite the current challenges facing the e-commerce business in Nigeria and most parts of the African continent.
Speaking at the 6th edition of Nigeria Sales Conference, organised by the CEO of the Selling Champion Ltd, George Emetuche, held at the Welcome Centre Hotel Lagos, Ekeh addressed the topic: ‘The Nigeria e-Commerce and Retail Business: Challenges and Prospects’.
In his address, Ekeh outlined key challenges hampering the growth of the e-commerce sector in Nigeria. He pointed to the overdependence on imported goods, unstable exchange rates, logistical inefficiencies, corruption, and rising insecurity as significant obstacles.
Despite the challenges, he expressed optimism about the future of e-commerce in Nigeria and Africa. He noted that the country’s youthful population—averaging 17 years of age, remained tech-savvy and eager to embrace digital solutions, a factor he believes will drive growth and innovation in the sector.
