Google Nigeria has commenced training for 500 entrepreneurs to help Nigerian small and medium business owners make better use of the internet in reaching more customers and meeting their business goals. Bunmi Banjo, the Marketing Manager for SME products at Google Nigeria, said that the goal of the ‘Succeed Online’ training series is to educate business owners on crucial tips that would help them boost the impact of their online presence.
This is part of the Get Nigerian Businesses Online program (GNBO) launched in September 2011, which has so far enabled over 25,000 SMEs in Nigeria to build their own websites free. The GNBO program is a joint initiative by Google and partners such as Ecobank to help SMEs create their first websites and help them make the most of the opportunities offered by the internet.
