On September 26, 2024, The Firma Advisory, in collaboration with Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), facilitated a Stakeholders' Engagement session to discuss the draft of the National E-Commerce Policy and Strategy (NEPS).

This stakeholders’ engagement was organized by the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment (FMITI) and the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA).

The session brought together key private stakeholders from Nigeria's e-commerce sector, including representatives from companies like Konga, Flutterwave, amongst others, to identify logistical, regulatory, and financial challenges faced by e-commerce players and evaluate the draft policy's effectiveness in addressing these issues.

The session was both interactive and insightful, highlighting the challenges and opportunities within Nigeria's e-commerce landscape.

This collaborative effort aims to develop a robust e-commerce policy that promotes innovation, supports digital transformation and fosters inclusive growth within the sector
