At 1TimeShop, we believe that meaningful conversations are the foundation of real progress. That belief was strongly reinforced at the recent SchoolVille TechTalk, where leaders from government, technology, and industry gathered to discuss a powerful theme:
“From Policy to Prosperity: How Technology Can Accelerate Nigeria’s Prosperity.”
We were proud to have our Co-Founder and CTO, Mr. Jeffry Obaro J., participate as one of the panelists at this impactful event held at the Delta State Innovation Hub, Asaba.
A Timely Conversation Nigeria Needs
Technology continues to shape how people live, work, and do business in Nigeria. But as the discussion at TechTalk revealed, technology alone is not enough. The real challenge lies in how policies are created, communicated, and understood by the public.
During the panel session, Mr. Jeffry emphasized a key issue that affects businesses, innovators, and everyday Nigerians:
“Policies often exist, but the problem is communication. When policies are not clearly explained or easily accessible, misinformation fills the gap.”
This observation resonated strongly with the audience.
The Role of Clear Communication in Policy Implementation
One of the most important points raised by our co-founder was the need for clear, centralized communication channels where government policies can be easily accessed and understood at a glance.
According to him, when policies are scattered across multiple platforms or written in overly complex language, people rely on unofficial sources — which often leads to confusion and misinformation.
He highlighted that:
-
Businesses struggle to comply with policies they don’t fully understand
-
Individuals make decisions based on incomplete or incorrect information
-
Innovation slows down when uncertainty exists around regulations
A simple, transparent system for communicating policies could make a significant difference for entrepreneurs, investors, and the general public.
Why This Matters for Businesses and Individuals
At 1TimeShop, we see firsthand how clarity enables growth. When rules are clear, businesses can plan better, individuals can make informed choices, and innovation thrives.
Mr. Jeffry shared that accessible policy communication would:
-
Help businesses adapt quickly and stay compliant
-
Empower individuals with accurate information
-
Reduce fear and speculation caused by misinformation
-
Create trust between government, tech builders, and citizens
Technology, when used intentionally, can bridge this gap by turning complex policies into simple, accessible information for everyone.
A Shared Responsibility
The TechTalk panel made one thing clear: accelerating Nigeria’s prosperity is a shared responsibility. Government, technology companies, and innovators must work together to ensure that policies are not just created, but understood and trusted.
Events like SchoolVille TechTalk play a vital role in creating these conversations — bringing different voices to the table and encouraging collaboration that leads to real impact.
Moving Forward
As a company building technology for everyday people and businesses, 1TimeShop remains committed to supporting ideas that promote clarity, accessibility, and growth.
We’re proud of our co-founder’s contribution to this important discussion and grateful to SchoolVille, fellow panelists, and attendees for fostering a space where ideas can turn into action.
Because when communication is clear, progress becomes possible.
