The executive director, Strategy, MoMo PSB, Mr Usoro Usoro said that MoMo’s involvement was in line with its mandate to drive financial inclusion and digital inclusion and connectivity in Nigeria and Africa.

He said that Momo was helping businesses on the platform to make payments in a simple and seamless manner.

Director, African Operations, AliExpress, Geoffrey Jian said that Africa possessed immense potentials and opportunities in trade.

Jian said that the platform would further drive business-to-business, business-to-country and international trade running into millions of dollars.
