9mobile, one of Nigeria’s leading telecommunications companies, has applauded the Nigerian-British Chamber of Commerce (NBCC) for its tireless efforts in strengthening economic partnerships between Nigeria and the United Kingdom.
The commendation was made at the NBCC Presidential Dinner and Awards Ceremony, held recently at the prestigious Eko Hotels & Suites, Lagos.
The NBCC Presidential Dinner is an iconic event that celebrates excellence in business and honors key players advancing bilateral trade between Nigeria and Britain.
This year’s gathering brought together notable industry leaders, government officials, and stakeholders to explore new horizons in trade and investment. At the core of the NBCC’s mission is the promotion of trade and investment between Nigeria and Britain.
The chamber highlighted the importance of exploring strategies to strengthen economic partnerships, and 9mobile’s attendance was a testament to its support for businesses, especially Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).
9mobile’s Chief Operations Officer, John Vasikaran, emphasized the company’s commitment to supporting SMEs through initiatives like The Hack, a free enterprise initiative and networking event.
“The Hack is one of 9mobile’s sustainability pillars entrenched in our brand DNA to grow the SME market, mitigate unemployment challenges, and consolidate Nigeria’s economy,” Vasikaran said.
The event was a reaffirmation of 9mobile’s role as a catalyst for growth, innovation, and positive transformation in Nigeria’s socio-economic landscape.
With a trade relationship valued at £7.5 billion annually, and Nigeria exporting £2.5 billion worth of goods to the UK, the event identified the critical role of private-sector initiatives in strengthening these ties.
As the night drew to a close, the shared vision of promoting stronger ties and collaborative solutions echoed loud and clear. 9mobile’s commitment to supporting businesses and promoting economic partnerships is a testament to its role as a leader in Nigeria’s telecommunications industry.
