We are delighted to take this step in boosting our business” he added.
He also mentioned that there are plans underway to expand into even more West African states as the company looks to connect different economies in the region. “Our business is about connecting different economies; especially as regards trade and commerce. By being in countries such as Benin Republic, Burkina Faso and Niger Republic, we will be at the forefront of economic development; particularly in the West African region.” He said.
