With over 35 million registered Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Nigeria, the need to empower and encourage the growth of small businesses in Nigeria has led MTN Nigeria to collaborate with Google to train owners of SMEs in different parts of the country. The October edition of the training was taken to the city of Abuja where about 30 entrepreneurs were trained on how to grow their businesses using digital tools.
The SMEs owners received free training on how to penetrate the market in a peculiar environment like Nigeria.

Participants were also taught on how to use YouTube for customer interaction and Google+ Business for business optimisation and customer targeting.
