Midweek Check-In: Back Like We Never Left
Long time no chat!
Hey, Dear Innovator 👋
It’s been a minute, hasn’t it? 🤗 How have you been?
Alsoooo, what new solutions have you come up with in the time that we’ve been away? 🤔
Let’s play a quick catchup on some tech buzz that you might have missed 😉
Binance, one of the biggest digital markets for buying and selling different digital currencies, has shut down its operations in Nigeria 😢.
The Nigerian federal government is tightening some of its regulatory policies and unfortunately, they didn’t make the cut.Monirates, a Nigerian startup, recently got licensed to operate as a financial service provider in Canada!! Whether you’re an Andriod or IOS user, sending and receiving money from your family, friends and customers outside of Nigeria is a breeze with Monirates.
Led by Nnenna ‘Nelly’ Nkata (CEO and Co-founder), Monirates’ goal has been to make different African currencies accessible to everyone, especially business owners, and they’ve been doing a good job of it.Like Monirates, where members of the Consonance Community of Innovators are found, excellence follows! We are all excited to see where this new chapter will lead ‘em💃🕺
Here’s to you, Dear Innovator. Here’s to you 🥂 Today, being the 13th, is important for two reasons:
It means that we’re halfway through March.
Aaaand, we’re almost at the end of the first quarter of 2024.
Whichever way that you look at it, time is moving pretty fast 👀
Do you remember the resolutions that you made at the beginning of the year? Have you made any changes yet?
We’re always glad to remind you about them, of course, but the best part is the solutions that you come up with which make the world a little better.
So dust off that old idea journal, will you? 🥹
