Hello Venturer,This week we examine the critical success factors contributing to the rise of one of Nigeria's fast-growing fintech companies. As much as we record Nigerian success stories, the irony is that these businesses succeed despite the odds stacked against them while we generally wish for better business conditions across the board.In the midst of all that the nation has had to go through, we will proceed while remaining optimistic that there is indeed light at the end of the tunnel. The reality is that we as a nation need to figure out how to make the most of the opportunities latent in most sectors of our national life. The future holds much for Nigeria, let's ensure we do all we can to birth a Nigeria that we can all be proud of!Ogodilieze Osaji-UgoStaff Writer, Ventures Africa
