Kelvin Orifa, the CEO of Emblue, also expressed his delight at Uzoma’s special session saying, “We recognize the role that technology can play in helping Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) to achieve the key outcomes of improving revenue growth, increasing employee productivity, and acquiring more customers. However, for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), this has remained a challenge due in part to cost and difficulty to identify the right technology that suits their business needs with the array of so many different solutions on offer. This is why we are excited to be hosting this special session with a digital and financial inclusion advocate like Uzoma Dozie.”
