The collaborative partnership between QNET and Transblue took center stage at a highly anticipated exhibition and workshop aimed at redefining opportunities for entrepreneurship and youth empowerment in Nigeria.
The event, held at the Island Strategic Command venue, showcased a wide array of health, luxury, and educational products, drawing commendations from stakeholders for its potential to transform economic and social landscapes in the country.
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Commander Mitchell, speaking at the event, praised the initiative, noting its capacity to create wealth and engage youths positively. "With over 200 million people in Nigeria, the market is vast, and these products, which add value to health, are a game-changer," he remarked. Mitchell emphasised the importance of engaging young minds meaningfully, stating that such initiatives help reduce youth involvement in crime and vices, benefiting both individuals and the nation.
The partnership's potential to empower Nigerian youths was further echoed by the CEO of Transblue, Abiodun Akeem Ajisafe.
"Empowerment is relative, and knowledge is power. We have opened doors of opportunity for Nigerians through direct selling. With minimal startup costs, entrepreneurs can build sustainable income streams and grow their networks," Ajisafe explained. He detailed the direct-selling model, highlighting its accessibility to individuals lacking traditional business capital, allowing them to earn commissions and expand their ventures over time.

The event also served as an educational platform to demystify misconceptions surrounding QNET. According to Ajisafe, transparency and product awareness are vital for success. "You can't sell what you don't know. This exhibition is a chance for attendees to learn about our diverse offerings, from health products to educational packages, and understand how these can be effectively marketed," he said.
Stakeholders also lauded QNET's significant contributions to Nigeria's economic growth. Ajisafe revealed that the company's tax remittances over the past two years have impressed the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), showcasing its commitment to compliance and sustainability. He added: "QNET's model has empowered numerous Nigerians, creating ripple effects across the economy. There is no limit to what we can achieve if the value it brings is fully understood and supported."
The event was not only a business opportunity but also a statement on the importance of strategic partnerships in fostering national development. Ajisafe highlighted the role of knowledge-sharing in equipping entrepreneurs to succeed. "We provide programs that teach people how to sell, identify market needs, and grow their businesses sustainably," he noted.
QNET and Transblue's ongoing collaboration exemplifies the transformative power of innovative business models, particularly in addressing unemployment and fostering entrepreneurship among Nigerian youth. As Nigeria continues to seek sustainable economic solutions, this partnership offers a blueprint for meaningful engagement and wealth creation.
