By Sampson Ikemitang

Water is indispensable to life, holding a unique significance among natural resources. While survival might be possible without others, it’s inconceivable without water. Managing water resources involves considerations of quantity, quality, and future variability, vital for societal sustenance and economic development.

Nigeria’s industries are acknowledging the nation’s water scarcity, prompting cultural and technological shifts towards water-wise practices. Therefore, the application and granting of water use licenses are crucial steps towards fostering more sustainable water usage.

To address this, the Federal Executive Council established the Nigeria Integrated Water Resources Management Commission (NIWRMC) in May 2007.

Fintechs should develop products that address the exact needs of their customers (By Mike Cook)

All around the world businesses are pulling out the stops to achieve growth in what can best be described as challenging economic conditions. Africa is no exception. The continent has long been recognised for its immense potential, and as such businesses across sectors are investing heavily into the continent. Advancements in technology make serving the unbanked and underserved populations in Africa more viable than ever before. However, that does not mean growth comes easily. It is a hyper competitive and complex environment where genuinely understanding your customer is key to growth.

Even with this textbook understanding, there is a strong urge to take the “build it and they will come” approach because we can get caught up in our own technology and view problems from our frame of reference while ignoring the customer. This is typified in the African market where we see multiple shiny apps being dropped across markets…
