Hello, I am based in Abuja, Nigeria, with 15+ years of experience in business development, market research, and sales facilitation. I have successfully connected international manufacturers with Nigerian distributors, wholesalers, and retailers across FMCG and apparel sectors. For Giggly Gems, I will identify and connect with qualified importers and distributors of kidswear, research Nigeria’s retail and wholesale landscape, facilitate introductions, and advise on import regulations and logistics. My strong networks in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt allow me to reach decision-makers quickly. I can deliver a verified shortlist of leads with contact details and provide ongoing support in outreach and relationship management to ensure sustainable growth. Best regards, Nonso Kenechi Okafor

Hi, This project aligns well with my background in market entry strategy and business development in Nigeria. Beyond conducting market research, I have direct relationships with manufacturers and suppliers from previous consulting engagements, allowing me to gather reliable pricing, production, and sourcing information efficiently. For this project, I can: * Research demand, pricing trends, and competitive positioning for kids’ apparel (0–5 years) in Nigeria. * Leverage my existing manufacturer network to obtain comparable data and validate sourcing options. * Recommend high-potential starter SKUs based on local market demand. * Deliver a concise feasibility report with actionable recommendations within 5 days. I also see this as more than a one-off research assignment. Since this is the first phase of your Nigeria market entry, I can continue supporting subsequent stages, including supplier coordination, local market validation, go-to-market planning, partnership development, and eventually sales execution in Lagos. Having someone involved from the research stage through launch helps maintain continuity and stronger execution. I look forward to discussing how I can help make your Nigeria expansion a success.
