“ICT Has Potential Of Becoming Nigeria's Major Revenue Source.” – Celestine Okolie
The Information,
Communication, and Technology (ICT) Industry is a growing industry in Nigeria.
Many startups over the years have been established in that sector and with the rapid
evolution of technology on a daily basis, it’s easy to see why ICT is very
popular.
ENG Technologies Nigeria is one of those companies looking to stay
ahead of the many ones in ICT and it is headed by Celestine Okolie. In his
interview as part of the SME 1000 Hotseat Series, he talks about his business,
challenges and thoughts on the ICT Industry in Nigeria.
Enjoy.
Q: Tell us about your
business.
A: I am Celestine
Okolie. My Business name is ENG Technologies Nigeria. ENG Technologies Nigeria is
an indigenous Information and Communication Technology Company registered in
Nigeria. The company offers a diversified range of ICT services and Business
solutions. Recently, I branched out to include the marketing and sale of
Android Entertainment Devices, specifically the Android Smart TV Boxes &
related accessories. This has been my major focus at the moment as I have an
online eCommerce site devoted to it.
Q: I am interested in
the android smart TV...how does it work and how expensive are these devices?
A: An Android TV
box has the ability to transform any TV into a smart TV, giving users access to
television shows, live sports, movies as well as a multitude of applications
and games. The multimedia device can also play music and offers a web browser
for access to the Internet. It uses ONLY Internet; no mask, no disc, and no
antenna. They are NOT expensive, plus they come in different sizes and
capacities
Q: What kind of ICT
services do you offer?
A: I offer a
diversified range of ICT services and Business software solutions; including
Office Automation, eLearning, Document Management System, School Management
Solutions, e-Library Solutions and eCommerce.
Q: How has the ICT system
helped businesses to grow?
A: In many, many
ways. My background is on ICT; both theory and practice. I'm beginning to see
everything I have learned over the years coming together, especially at this
time, to determine and pace most things I do. For instance, I developed the
site for Android TV Boxes (www.androidtvhub.com.ng)
all alone (this would have cost a large amount otherwise). I still handle all
online marketing. Moreover, customer support on this line of product is very
technical. I have been able to use my idea of Information Technology to go on.
Q: Which of your
services is your most sought after?...
A: The sale of Android
TV Boxes & Accessories. I have also re-configured to give it full attention
for now!!!
Q: In your opinion,
what is the potential of the ICT Industry in Nigeria?
A: Well, in my
opinion, I think that ICT has potential of becoming Nigeria's major revenue
source. It’s just that the right environment, in terms of road map, is not
clearly visible.
Q: What challenges is
your business facing?
A: Actually, it’s
getting more customers. The technology is new, and we battle a lot to make
customers to understand the usefulness and how to use it.
Q: Do you organise
trainings for those interested in digital marketing ?
A: No training
for digital marketing.
