BUSINESS QUIZ:
BUSINESS QUIZ is a business questions and answers series designed to brighten and enhance business knowledge and skills in order to encourage entrepreneurs and other professionals to grow their business and as well assist intending business owners to start a business.
The major challenges faced by business owners include inefficient business skills and access to capital among others.
Business owners needed to have greater level of connectedness and responsiveness to their communities in Nigeria and other parts of Africa. But the fact is that this collective power is being underestimated for quite a long time.
The centre is keen to ensure that these challenges are addressed by ensuring that small businesses are the beneficiaries of this national project.
Small and Medium Sized enterprises make up to 90% of all businesses in Nigeria and its very important to give them a voice in the fight for access to finance, business networking and proper management skills.
Nigerian businesses stand to gain competitive advantage over her global counterparts if they are giving opportunity to lead, and demonstrate competence in business management.
