“This event brings together some of the brightest minds and most disruptive technologies, and we’re excited to showcase how Vesti can bridge the financial gap for Nigerians interested in going global, immigrants facing financial challenges, and Nigerian technology entrepreneurs looking to expand their business internationally”, he added.

The NITDA Co-Create West Africa Tech Exhibition is a two-day event featuring over 10,000 attendees, 150 exhibitors, and a vibrant display of innovative startups and cutting-edge tech solutions.
