In the face of today’s fiercely competitive marketplace, renowned tech entrepreneur and Chairman of Zinox & the Konga Group, Leo Stan Ekeh, has pinpointed the direct connection of commerce to consumers’ daily lives as an essential ingredient for achieving victory. This core message resonated throughout his speech at an event orchestrated by Konga 103.7FM, a leading Nigerian Hit Music & Commerce Station.
Themed Consumer “Last Mile Takeover – A New Key”, the gathering spotlighted Nigeria’s evolving commerce landscape and the urgent need to bridge the gap between brands and everyday consumers.
