According to Uzu, “we can expand and reach new markets by offering these new technologies and products to existing and new customers with the view of reaching as many clients as possible outside our usual market space in country.”
He said the solutions they were targeting for the expansion drive were largely driven by various technological and innovative approach, adding that the company would drive the strategic vision aggressively across African countries as a way to maintain its competitive edge over competitors.
