Besides, the event provided the journalists who attended the Malaysia convention opportunity to relay their thoughts on the event as well as their take-away from the same.

He told journalists that in April 2022,his company’s official entry into Nigeria was marked by a significant partnership with Transblue Limited, a local customer service compliance and logistics company.
Transblue, he said, aims to address logistical challenges in Nigeria’s market landscape, adding that the partnership has been instrumental in connecting Nigerians to QNET’s global network and empowering the youths.
According to him, since the country’s entry into the country, we have maintained our promise to introduce initiatives that foster growth and equip Nigerian youths with entrepreneurial skills, financial literacy, and anti-fraud awareness skills. One such initiative is FinGreen.
He explained FinGreen is QNET’s Signature Financial Literacy Programme, which aims to empower the youth and women to be financially literate and achieve financial freedom while building generational wealth.
He added:”FinGreen plays a pivotal role in supporting the youth in emerging economies to reduce poverty through capacity building while equipping participants with basic financial literacy knowledge for better decision-making in their daily lives. Launched in June 2022, FinGreen has equipped over 1,200 youths in Nigeria with financial literacy”

These donations,he said,highlight the company’s fundamental principles, which include providing support to all, including the vulnerable in society.
In May, QNET, in partnership with Manchester City, organised a football clinic which saw 26 players aged under 18 from six states in Nigeria engage in five training sessions, with one organised match to assess their capabilities, he said.
He added that the footballers were given access to world-class football training and coaching by a team of experts led by Nigerian football legend and veteran coach Johannes Bonfrère.
He said a media workshop was held in Lagos to foster a deeper understanding of QNET and its diverse range of products and services in order to build credibility and trust of the QNET brand.

Esteemed experts, including Dr Shafi Shaik – Amezcua Product Trainer and Category Manager at QNET, and Professor Abiodun Adebayo – Vice Chancellor of Covenant University Nigeria, enhanced the workshop’s value and knowledge exchange.
“This workshop played a pivotal role in laying the foundation for a successful product expo, ensuring that the media was well-equipped to convey QNET’s essence and offerings to a wider audience,” he said.
