Executive Director for the Savannah Women Integrated Development Agency (SWIDA – Gh), Hajia Alima Sagito – Saeed has called on Ghanaian youth to take full advantage of e-commerce business.
Speaking at a stakeholders’ meeting in Tamale, Mrs. Saeed advised the youth to seize the immense opportunities available in the sector to create employment for themselves and their peers.
According to her, the e-commerce industry offers several benefits to small scale businesses, including bringing them closer to their customers and allowing local enterprises to expand globally.
Hajia Alima believes that the e-commerce industry has many benefits that have yet to be completely recognized.
“The e-commerce sector provides enormous opportunities for the youth, but only a small percentage of them are aware of them” she said.
The stakeholders’ stakeholder meeting in which the SWIDA – Gh Executive Director made this call, was organized by Africa Skills Hub, in collaboration with Ghana Tech Lab, under the theme The Role of e-Commerce in Transforming the Local Economy for Job Creation and Economic Development.
