Nigeria has become the first nation in sub-Saharan Africa to join Tejari.com (www.tejari.com).

The B2B online marketplace has signed an agreement in this regard with MIS Nigeria Limited, a leading Nigerian systems integrator. 

Tejari Nigeria provides a platform for businesses across the country to do business online, significantly improving commercial opportunities and trade leads for sellers while helping large, enterprise organizations improve procurement efficiencies and extensively reduce procurement costs, said a statement.

“I am pleased to announce this partnership with MIS to launch Tejari Nigeria, a move that will bring stronger commercial ties and opportunities between Nigerian organizations and others on the 100,000-strong Tejari network,” said Omar Hijazi, CEO of Tejari.com.

“Tejari Nigeria will enable public and private sector organizations to come together in safe, secure and transparent business environment where buyers and sellers have the opportunity to transact locally and across Tejari.com’s international network.  Today, Nigeria enjoys approximately $250 million in trade between North Africa and the Gulf, and we believe Tejari Nigeria will undoubtedly boost commercial activity for Nigerian goods and services abroad. ”

Tejari.com operates the largest online B2B marketplace in the emerging markets, with over 100,000 member companies across 14 countries in the Middle East, Asia and now Africa. MIS has over 25 years experience in technology solutions and services and is the distributor and authorised service center for HP.  Its customers include the Central Bank of Nigeria, Shell, Nigeria International Bank, Nigerian Telecommunications (Nitel), State Water Board, Proctor & Gamble and National Power Authority.
