The gap is blamed on the nation’s infrastructural challenges and huge technological knowledge gap that have made creation and sales of online contents difficult.
Founder of TrainQuarters, Stephanie Obi, while speaking in Lagos, said it is worrisome that while other countries are gaining from the multi-billion dollar industry estimated to reach $331b by 2025, Nigeria is yet to benefit because of the country’s inability to monetise content. “From creating courses to marketing and selling them to building a website, creating an email list, blogpost hosting and more, the platform has everything needed to launch an online course. It also grants users access to online courses at discounted rates, rather than paying for different platforms, along with a support team to enlighten and guide one through the process.”
