The Committee together with its project partner, the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) and Jumia seek to prepare and onboard 10,000 Nigerian MSMEs onto the virtual marketplace over the next two years in the pilot project to increase the visibility of the Made-in-Nigeria brand and support the transformation of Nigeria into Africa’s manufacturing hub and preferred choice for products and services.
