Yan said that Nigeria had provided a huge market for the organisation in spite of challenges of fluctuating foreign exchange.
The event was attended by Nigeria’s Minister of Communication Abdur-Raheem Adebayo Shittu who praised Transsion Holding for providing three thousand jobs for Nigerians, however he noted that it was important that investors put up manufacturing firms in the West African country.
According to Yan, Tecno has also impacted on Nigeria through its corporate social responsibility.
