This initiative will be showcased at NASSI's 35th National Convention, set to take place on December 1, 2026, in Abuja. During the convention, entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to exchange ideas, explore potential business partnerships, and identify ways to strengthen domestic production. NASSI's National President, Solomon Vongfa, emphasized the convention's role in helping small business owners build sustainable enterprises and reduce their reliance on government assistance. He further stated that the gathering will bring together entrepreneurs to discuss practical ways to improve business performance, expand production, and enhance the contribution of small-scale industries to Nigeria's economy. The partnership with Zamkah Technologies is a crucial element of NASSI's efforts to prepare local businesses for a more competitive marketplace, focusing on improving their capacity to grow beyond their local environments.",
