I hope the discusion also includes and not limited to high speed internet at cheap rates in Lagos to drive commerce and business. Good payment solutions and courier services. can someone also advice Lagos State government to start thinking in the line of creating an agency to monitor and regulate e-commerce services within Lagos so as to boost confidence.
