Chinonso Dickson, founder of Zit Technology Services Limited, is helping reshape Nigeria’s digital commerce and SME ecosystem through two major initiatives — Zit Nigeria and Afiam.

 

Zit.ng: Simplifying Online Shopping Since 2012

Inspired by challenges he observed in his father’s electronics shop, Dickson launched Zit.ng to make shopping easier, faster, and more reliable for Nigerians.

The platform has since become a trusted e-commerce hub, improving logistics, strengthening vendor support, and creating jobs across the retail value chain.

“We built Zit to bridge the gap between traditional retail and Nigeria’s growing digital economy,” Dickson says. Operating Manager Christian Okanu adds that the platform has evolved into a robust ecosystem focused on secure shopping and efficient delivery.

 

Afiam: Bringing Digital Tools to Small Businesses

Drawing from the Zit.ng experience, Dickson introduced Afiam — a simple, accessible business management platform designed for SMEs. With tools for inventory, sales, and customer tracking, Afiam helps traders run their businesses with greater control and insight.

“Afiam gives small business owners the efficiency enjoyed by larger enterprises,” Dickson explains. COO Ifeoluwa Aniesere Oyewole and Head of Sales & Marketing Uzoamaka Okoroigwe Olejeme emphasize the platform’s nationwide accessibility, supported by outreach campaigns and a ₦2,000 welcome credit for new users.

 

One Vision: A Digitally Empowered Nigeria

Though serving different audiences, Zit.ng and Afiam share a common purpose — using technology to make life easier for consumers and to help businesses grow. As Zit.ng gears up for major retail seasons and Afiam expands across Nigeria, Dickson’s work highlights a future where digital transformation fuels inclusive economic progress.
