This follows the recent appointment of Mr. Bukola Aluko as the chief executive officer of its Nigerian office.

Verifying this at a press conference in Lagos, Monday, Mr. Aluko noted that Business Connexion is a leading ICT solutions provider on the continent.

“We have been in Nigeria for over two years. But we are interested in growing our West African operations and making Nigeria our hub,” he said.

Aluko also said that Business Connexion is keen in making investment in skills and technology in Nigeria to offer the customers cost effective solutions in the West Africa sub-region.

The firm, he said runs mission-critical ICT systems and manage products, services and solutions for most of the listed and key public sectors in Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE).

A replica of this mission, he said, the Nigerian office intends to achieve by engaging organisations, parastatals and medium-sized companies.

Based on the firm’s business model, Aluko said that this represents an approach to configure and integrate business solutions.

“Our solutions are designed to meet our clients’ strategic and operational needs, which we develop and maintain,” Aluko said.
