Worried by the increasing rate of unemployment in the country and Africa as a whole, a young Nigerian expert in eCommerce business had developed a digital platform for Nigerians, especially youths to key in and learn how to make money for themselves.

The founder of the first Unique Drop-ship portal – eComX, Abiodun Oyetunji, apart from being a serial entrepreneur, owns a thriving logistics company for e-commerce businesses that offers doorstep deliveries nationwide in Nigeria and Ghana.

Speaking on why eComX was founded, Oyetunji, fondly called Abbey, said the increased rate of unemployment in the country, especially among the youth, led to the founding of eComX.

“With this platform, we want to extend the immense opportunity in the Mini eCommerce business to as many young people out there in West Africa as possible, starting with Nigeria, then Ghana and others.”

According to Oyetunji, having run Mini eCom business for more than five years, he thought of extending the opportunity to others; hence he created a system that makes the process very easy for even a novice to come on board and make a good living.

Also speaking on the firm’s targeted audience, he said, “Our target audience are the elite youths who are ready to take hold of their income by earning from e-commerce business either as a side hustle or full time business. Our target audience are also computer savvy, with a basic understanding of computer applications.”

Oyetunji said further that the Nigerian environment is much conducive for eComX as there was already an existing e-commerce business that is thriving already, adding “It is definitely a good ground for eComX to dominate.
