    The maiden edition of the Konga Seller Summit held on the 17th of October, 2015 at the Eko Hotel and Suites, Lagos. The summit was attended by close to a thousand burgeoning business owners and entrepreneurs.

    Delivering the keynote address entitled “The E-commerce Revolution in Nigeria: Where We Have been, Where We Are Heading and How to Get There?’’ the Chief Executive Officer of Troyka Group, Mr. Biodun Shobanjo said that e-commerce would remain the engine room and core driver of the Nigerian economy.

    According to Shobanjo, “E-commerce mirrors the village center and Konga should be seen as a village market on the Web where there is equal access and multiple accesses for buyers. In e-commerce, mutual trust and relationship mattered a lot”.

    In his welcome address, the Founder & Chief Executive Officer of Konga.com, Sim Shagaya, said the Konga 2015 Seller Summit was organized in line with the company’s vision of being the engine of trade and commerce in Africa.

    Shagaya said the Summit was a platform for sellers and buyers to learn from experts about the dynamic operations of e-commerce and develop sustainable strategies to advance business services.
