stated that the ongoing agent recruitment further demonstrates the company’s
commitment to enhance Nigeria’s access to financial services.
He added that: “Quickteller Paypoint is
designed to empower Nigerians by creating income-generating opportunities for
unemployed Nigerians and increase streams of income for employed Nigerians
thereby facilitating business in both the rural and urban parts of Nigeria.
“This activation by Quickteller Paypoint is
looking to onboard new agents on the Quickteller Paypoint platform.
By so doing, we are not only empowering
Nigerians to earn income, we are also providing them a platform with which they
are able to provide meaningful services to their communities and eventually
grow to employ and empower others.’’ he said.
