As the betting site announced, Betway Nigeria procured ten solar-powered kiosks for fintech point-of-sale operators in Lagos. This forms part of the measures to support small businesses and entrepreneurs in the country.
The majority of the point-of-sale operators struggle daily because of Nigeria’s electricity supply situation and the small amount of business capital that renders the acquisition of an electricity-generating system an arduous undertaking.
But solar-powered kiosks with a solar panel and an inverter guarantee that fintech point-of-sale operators can avail of a reliable and efficient power supply. Therefore, they can deliver a better customer experience as the transactions take place effortlessly. Moreover, the kiosks excel in terms of weather resistance. Therefore, they can be used anywhere.
Betway pioneers in supporting the Nigerian people.
When it comes to supporting small businesses, entrepreneurs, and communities in Nigeria, Betway represents a pioneer. For example, in 2022, the bookmaker donated 5,000,000 ₦ to flooded communities in the Bayelsa State. These received food and products for daily use. The National Emergency Management Agency and the Bayelsa State Emergency Management Agency coordinated their distribution.
The Chief Operations Officer of Betway Nigeria, Otunba Kunle Olamuyiwa, exemplarily commented: “We focus on empowering the small businesses and entrepreneurs to thrive. This enables them to contribute to the economic growth in the country. The solar-powered kiosks enable these fintech POS operators to improve their customer service and accordingly operate more efficiently.”
Furthermore, the Marketing Manager, Dotun Adepegba, exemplarily added: “We didn’t only provide the beneficiaries with the kiosks that help them to develop their business. Because: Additionally, we gave them the opportunity to attend a short financial training. There, they learned how to run their business profitably.”
The ten fintech operators in Lagos that Betway supplied with the solar-powered kiosks expressed their gratitude to the betting site. Here, they highlighted that they already noticed an improvement in their business. This is because now they can offer a higher quality service to their customers. Additionally, they praised the bookmaker for supporting Nigerian small businesses.
